Looking at the reflection of the Captain Hu's eyes from the mirror, I clenched my teeth and thrusted my hand at him.

This strike was completely instinctive. It was for no other reason but because those eyes made people panic.

However, to my surprise, although the bone brush was tough, it was definitely not the tip of a blade. It pierced into Captain Hu's body like a sharp blade, without any obstruction, and of course, directly into the left eye on Captain Hu's back.

I was immediately shocked, and immediately let go of my hands. I supported Qiyou who had different injuries on her body, and rushed towards the bathroom door at the same time.

After being stabbed by my bone brush, Captain Hu's entire body shook, following that, a furious roar came out, he turned around with a venomous look, and stared at us with bloodshot eyes. At the same time, his left eye also surged with blood, looking sinister and terrifying.

Qiyou's petite body trembled in my embrace, she was extremely terrified.

I gritted my teeth as I stared at Captain Hu. Although I knew that the thing that possessed his body was definitely injured, because of how deep that stroke of mine went, at the same time, I was a little worried that Captain Hu would be heavily injured.

After a few roars from the Captain Hu, his body suddenly felt weak, as though he was a breathing golem, and then fell down.

I was shocked, but I didn't dare to help him. I opened the bathroom to settle Qiyou down, then went back into the bathroom to look at Captain Hu who was lying motionlessly on the floor. I kicked his feet a few times, but after seeing that there were no movements, I mustered my courage and went over.

Captain Hu's body is still wrapped in the bed that I drew with Buddhist light and heavenly flowers. Looking around, I saw that there was not the slightest bit of black air flowing out of his nostrils, so I relaxed a little and tried to check his breath. After confirming that there were no problems, I extended my hand behind his back and took out the White Bone Writing Brush.

However, to my surprise, there was not a single trace of blood on the White Bone Writing Brush.

I suddenly didn't understand. Could it be that what I saw just now was just an illusion? Logically speaking, a White Bone Writing Brush should be able to stab so deeply into the ground without blood!

Thus, I turned Captain Hu over. Using my impression of him, I looked at the place where I just stabbed him. Other than a red dot as thick as a pen, there was no trace of blood at all!

I could not help but be overjoyed, regardless of whether it was an illusion or not, and thought to myself that as long as Captain Hu was fine, it would be fine.

However, it was also at this time that Captain Hu's body trembled, and at the same time, a muffled groan came at me. I immediately jumped in fright, and my body trembled as I hurriedly retreated to the bathroom door, blankly watching Captain Hu struggle to sit up. At the same time, I secretly clenched the White Bone Writing Brush in my hands, and thought that if there was any movement, I would give him another one.

"Ma Que, why am I here?" Captain Hu's face was extremely pale, as though he was having a headache. He looked around, and then blurrily asked, "Let me in."

"Captain Hu, is that you?" I asked again. The scene just now was so shocking that I had to be careful.

The Captain Hu looked at me suspiciously before he lightly nodded and used his hands to support himself up.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, I looked him up and down once more. After confirming that the weird eyes were gone, I breathed a sigh of relief. I gathered up my courage and went over to help him out of the bathroom.

When Captain Hu was slightly better, I told him about the situation earlier with lingering fear in my heart. However, Captain Hu also seemed very tired, so before I could finish speaking, his head tilted, and he fell into a deep sleep on his chair.

After Captain Hu had calmed down, I looked at Qiyou again. She stared at me in a daze for a long time with a pair of frightened big eyes, and finally said in a low voice: "Ma Que, I'm sorry."

"Idiot, what's there to be sorry about?" Looking at her pitiful and delicate appearance, my heart ached. I rubbed her head and laughed, but I still found it strange, why was it that when facing the controlled Captain Hu, Qiyou didn't have the strength to resist at all?

However, looking at the situation Qiyou was in, I couldn't ask too much. Thus, without saying anything, I cut open my finger and placed it in front of Qiyou.

Qiyou was obviously a bit hesitant, and didn't open her mouth. In the end, under my unyielding request, she gently grabbed onto my finger, but from start to finish, her gaze never left me, as though she was filled with worries.

As for me, after this period of fear and torment, my body also became weak, and I allowed Qiyou to fall asleep while holding my finger on the bed.

I don't know how long it had been, but I was woken up by a chill. I got up to take a look, and saw that it was already dark outside the window, and it should be late at night, and when I turned to look at where Qiyou was lying before, I was shocked to see that she was no longer there. I quickly sat up, but just as I was about to get up, I saw Qiyou quietly sitting beside me, with a peaceful smile on her face.

I opened my mouth, and just as I was about to ask why she wasn't resting, Qiyou opened his mouth first, and asked me softly: "Ma Que, do you know why I'm afraid of him?"

As she said that, Qiyou turned his face and glanced at Captain Hu who was currently reclining on the chair. His face still had some fear.

I smiled faintly and shook my head. I think she wasn't talking about Captain Hu, but the person who controlled him.

Qiyou looked at me and shook his head. Then, her body slanted and she gently placed his head on my shoulder as she muttered, "Let me tell you a story."

"Say it," I replied softly, but my heart was already bursting with emotion. It had been so many years, but this was the first time such a gorgeous beauty had leaned on my shoulder in the quiet night. Her beauty was enchanting, the night was dark, and the atmosphere was ambiguous.

However, when Qiyou truly opened her mouth, the ripples in my heart immediately dissipated like smoke and clouds, and what replaced them was deep sympathy and heartache for Qiyou.

When Qiyou was still a little weasel, she lived in a desolate forest with her parents. Although her life was filled with dangers, she was still free and at ease.

Qiyou and her parents were weasels who did not have intelligence. They did not open their intelligence, nor did they have any thoughts of cultivating.

But one day, when Qiyou and her parents went out to look for food, they actually found a strange grass. Its smell was very enchanting, so the family of three instinctively brought the strange grass back to their nest.

However, Qiyou had never thought that just as Qiyou and the others brought the strange grass back to their nest, they would be caught up by a weirdly dressed person, and almost immediately turned the whole house upside down.

However, out of instinct, Qiyou's parents still secretly moved Qiyou away from him in the midst of her panic.

Thus, the young Qiyou fled from the place she had originally lived with this strange plant in her mouth. However, because she was young, she was hungry on the way, so she swallowed the strange grass.

However, who would have known that this strange grass had the effect of activating the Wisdom Seed. Qiyou, who had swallowed the strange grass, suddenly had the instinct to secretly return to her previous dwelling.

Only, when Qiyou returned to her previous residence, she instantly saw a scene that he would never forget for the rest of her life.

The man in the strange robe had actually skinned Qiyou's parents alive. His flesh was thrown to the side and his fur was taken away.

As a result, he helplessly watched the weirdo kill his parents before peeling his skin. Only after he had walked far away did he quietly appear, and stayed around his parents' corpse for three days and three nights before leaving with tears in his eyes.

I was silent, thinking that the law of nature was the law of the jungle. Humans called themselves the smartest animals in nature, the predators at the top of the food chain. Using this method to deal with weasels and other animals was too common.

But, when these words came out of Qiyou's mouth, who was a weasel, it was a completely different story.

I had absolutely nothing to say to Qiyou's words, nor did I know how to console him. Or rather, it was extremely likely that I had also done similar things before, and as a butcher, I had no right to make any judgement on this.

But, what I find strange is, who exactly was the one who killed Qiyou's parents, how could Qiyou be so afraid of the person who controlled the Captain Hu?

However, I still didn't ask, because Qiyou had already said it before I asked.

"The smell coming from the person controlling the Captain Hu is almost the same as the smell coming from the person who killed her parents," she said.

Hearing this, I became even more surprised, thinking that Qiyou had not cultivated for ten years and a half, and the person who killed his parents back then had probably turned into ashes already, how could she still be alive today?

Thus, I immediately voiced out the doubts in my heart.

Qiyou smiled faintly, but her smile was filled with bitterness and fear, and she said softly: "That's the soul's scent, you can't smell it."

So, I stretched out my hand to rub Qiyou's head, and gently said: "Don't worry, once I have grown up, I will definitely protect you well."

Qiyou smiled sweetly and nodded as she laid on my chest in an intoxicated manner.

And it was also at this time that I was suddenly shocked, I thought of an extremely important point, that is, since Qiyou could recognize this smell, then with her help, wouldn't it be very easy to find the mastermind behind the "Eye of Heaven"?

However, I don't know if it's appropriate to tell Qiyou about this matter at this time, but I only sighed, and did not speak in the end.

However, the extremely intelligent Qiyou actually noticed this, and raised her head while muttering to herself, "Ma Que, don't worry. The next time I meet this person, I will definitely get to know him."
