Black Owl patted the little guy on the shoulder encouragingly, looking at him patiently and affectionately.
“I know Fenghua didn’t do it on purpose. We were holding hands the whole time in the teleportation array.” Ji Fengxiao looked up at Hei Xiao and earnestly explained to Ji Fenghua, “He probably didn’t know what was going on. He just drained the last bit of spiritual energy in my body. Before I passed out, I heard him calling me in a panic. He even tried to put a moonstone into my hand.”
As he spoke, Ji Fengxiao pouted dejectedly: "But the Moonstone turned into a pile of powder before it even reached my hands."
"You mean, the spiritual power in your body was drained by Feng Hua? Then what about those livestock in Fengyun Village?" Hei Xiao was a little confused.
The random teleportation array would draw spiritual power from the person being teleported; Black Owl himself had experienced this, so he knew it.
He also knew that the Ji family would activate the Moonstone and automatically absorb its spiritual power whenever they came into contact with it.
But why was Ji Fengxiao, who had already fainted, regarded as a demon?
"It might be..." Ji Fengxiao's expression was that of a child who had done something wrong and was afraid of being scolded.
"Is it Feng Hua?" Black Owl gave him the answer, trying his best to communicate with him in an extremely gentle manner.
Ji Fengxiao nodded silently, then mumbled through telepathic communication, "I'm not entirely sure either. I vaguely remember waking up for a short while, and I heard Fenghua telling me to open my mouth and drink something. I felt something salty in my mouth... I also vaguely saw Fenghua's eyes, it seemed like..."
Ji Fengxiao bit her lip and paused for a while before continuing, "It seems to be red."
Black Owl frowned slightly: "Red?"
"I must have seen wrong, or maybe something red dripped into my eyes," Ji Fengxiao tried to convince herself.
Black Owl didn't tell Ji Fengxiao that when he found him, there was no bloodstain on his eyes, only around his mouth.
If there had been bloodstains on his eyes, the villagers, who considered him a demon, wouldn't have helped him wash them off.
Moreover, even when a cultivator is in a very weak, semi-comatose state, their eyesight is far better than that of an ordinary person, and the chance of them making a mistake is very small.
In other words, Ji Fenghua's eyes did indeed turn red.
Could it be that Ji Fenghua is possessed by a demon?
However, even if someone is possessed by a demon, they usually only lose their self-awareness, and their physical body is completely controlled by the demon.
That means you've become a completely different person.
I've never heard of anyone being possessed by a demonic cultivator and experiencing strange changes in their body and appearance.
Black Owl was completely baffled:
What exactly happened to Ji Fenghua? What did he encounter during or after the teleportation?
Why is Ji Fengxiao, who was with him, unharmed?
"It's alright, once we find Fenghua and ask her what happened, we'll know." Hei Xiao gently stroked Ji Fengxiao's hair by the ear and asked softly, "How are you feeling now? Are you feeling better?"
"Yes, much better," Ji Fengxiao nodded, looking at Hei Xiao with trust, wanting to say something but holding back.
"Are you trying to say that if something bad happens to Feng Hua, like he really killed the livestock in Fengyun Village, or... or he hurt someone, you want me not to hurt him?" Hei Xiao chuckled softly and pinched Xiao Feng Xiao's little ear.
Such a bright and captivating color was enough to dazzle even Ji Fengxiao, who was still young and did not understand what true beauty was.
