When the man tried to stop the old woman from bringing the dart close to her face, he suddenly grabbed her hand and pressed it down.
The old woman looked at the man with great surprise. Why was he stopping her? Didn't he know the rules of this profession?
"What exactly do you want? Let me tell you, don't think you can favor her just because she's pretty. And you know our line of work; if we show any compassion, we could lose our lives at any moment."
The man nodded, indicating that he knew what the old woman said was true, but he still couldn't bear to do it.
At the same time, he felt that he didn't know the identities of the two people, nor did he know what they were doing there, so there was no need for him to get another person's blood on his hands.
The two were locked in a stalemate. Xie Zhou didn't open his eyes, but he could hear their breathing and their voices. He wondered when they would finish, and he was already struggling to hold back.
"Let's not rush into anything silly. Let's take a look first. And if he goes out and tells us where we are, I'll kill him myself."
The old woman suddenly let go of his hand, and the man placed himself on the old woman's frail arm and took it away.
"I can let him go today, but can you guarantee he won't reveal our whereabouts after he gets out? If he does, I expect you to keep your promise and end his life yourself."
The two walked into the courtyard, intending to leave him to fend for himself there. But just as they were about to enter the courtyard, they suddenly noticed that all the butterflies had flown towards Xie Zhou.
This was a spectacle they had never witnessed before, and these butterflies had never been commanded in this way before; even growing flowers here had never attracted such a large number of butterflies.
Suddenly, Xie Zhou's body was surrounded by butterflies, and all the butterflies were swirling around him, leaving the old woman completely bewildered.
Moreover, the fluttering butterflies, in all their vibrant colors, not only formed a circle around them, but also resembled a beautiful cloud that enveloped the sky. However, the butterflies were enveloping a shy and beautiful woman.
This aloof beauty was unconscious, and showed no signs of waking up.
Moreover, this phenomenon has never occurred with anyone else. Why did it appear next to Xie Zhou and hover right around him? There are no butterflies anywhere else. Could it be because of the fragrance of flowers? But that doesn't make sense; I also smell of flowers.
So the two of them came back, intending to check again to see if there were any details they hadn't seen or thought of.
After they returned, the two of them began to examine it carefully, but there was no difference in appearance.
The old woman and the man were very puzzled.
The old woman and her companion carefully examined his skin. When they arrived, the butterfly had already circled itself, but it hadn't completely encircled them.
However, these butterflies did not intend to attack. Instead, they all began to swarm around them, as if greeting them and telling them that they had no ill intentions and just wanted to take a look.
Suddenly, she saw a large number of blood cups approaching from the other side, all heading straight in this direction. The old woman had never seen anything like this before, because these blood cups were usually well-trained and obedient, and had never been so out of control.
After the snowflakes came over, they went straight for his skin. The old woman saw that his beautiful face was about to be scratched and bruised, and she felt very sorry for him, so she stopped them.
The two began to fly through the air, like a very beautiful old man fighting alone.
He only wanted to protect the aloof woman lying on the ground from going berserk.
Even the old woman couldn't understand what emotions were causing her inner turmoil, because she had never experienced such a scene or even made such a move.
These ripples suddenly stirred his heart.
Finally, the old woman stopped the blood cups. He just thought about it, and everyone else stopped in their tracks and pushed straight towards them.
They seemed to have realized the old woman's strength, so they all returned to the cave and never came out again.
When the old woman saw this, she felt completely satisfied.
It turned out that the old woman had also noticed something amiss at this time. And since she didn't understand where this commotion was coming from, she wanted to see Xie Zhou's face.
Then he began to regret the hooliganism he had committed in the past, and felt fortunate that he had not hurt him. If he had hurt him, it would have been too late for regrets.
He didn't even dare to look at Xie Zhou's face now, because he was afraid it would be the outcome he had imagined. If it were that outcome, he didn't know how to accept it or how to atone for his sins.
The old woman felt as if her feet were filled with lead, and she couldn't move at all. She struggled to take heavy steps to Xie Zhou's side.
