CHAPTER XXI

"So the old man didn't run away at all," I said, "and he's just hiding his breath......! It's like chanting a mantra!"

"Boss!" said Kemu, "when are we going to see?

Xiyuan stared at the ground for a long time, and then said: "The barrier on the periphery of the house has been broken!

"Huh?" Ke Mu was a little caught off guard by Xi Yuan's words, "...... Boss, what about you? What about Ami and Ryoko?"

"Long-winded! I've arranged everything! You just have to be obedient and do things!"

"Ahh......h Okay, what are you going to do?" said Kogi, frowning.

The amount of information just now is too much! Not only Kemu, but even I am confused!

Xiyuan didn't speak, and he glanced at Kemu with some dissatisfaction.

"You're my family, too!" muttered Komu.

"I'm not going!" I said angrily, "I'm not going to leave you again!"

Xiyuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he frowned at me, with a faint mist in his eyes, revealing his infinite doting and reluctant love for me.

I looked up at him stubbornly, but I was puzzled by Yu Xiyuan's complicated eyes.

Kemu looked at me and Xiyuan a little embarrassed, and didn't know what to do for a while.

Xiyuan pondered for a moment, as if he had made a great determination: "Okay! Yue'er! you stay! Kemu, you go immediately!"

Because there were no monsters, the onmyoji were all gathered at the gate of the small courtyard where the eagle was kept, so Kemu quickly ran out under the cover of night.

For some reason, I saw a chill gradually glow in Xiyuan's eyes.

"Hum Hum Hum ......"

A woman's shrill and eerie laughter rang in my ears!

There was a lot of resentment in this voice!

Let me...... It's annoying!

But gradually, I felt that my consciousness was a little blurred.

I couldn't help but look through the dense branches, past the onmyoji on the ground who were casting spells to break the formation, and into the hut where the old man was.

There was a pair of dark eyes in it, like an abyss wrapped in thousands of feet, which made me desperate to fly over.

"Ji Yue!

Xiyuan grabbed my wrist desperately, and that deep and mellow voice sounded in my ears.

He forced my face to face him.

When I saw his pale blue eyes, I woke up!

"Xiyuan......" my voice trembled slightly, "that ...... In the house, there was another person in the old man's room, and she had dark eyes, and she could hypnotize me! The situation here is so weird! When can we leave?"

Xiyuan looked at me with a worried face, hugged me into his arms, and gently patted me on the back.

"Don't be afraid!

He lowered his head and kissed me on the lips.

The kiss was so sudden, intense, and out of place that I couldn't help but look at him with wide eyes.

"Close your eyes!" he said.

He deepened his kiss on me, and gradually I ignored it, intoxicated in his arms, and responded to him......

It's just that......

I always feel like he's planning something.

But when we pass by here tonight and witness all of this, it's all pure accident, isn't it?

Suddenly, the wind blew in the courtyard, lightning and thunder roared in the air, and a torrential rain poured down in an instant.

The big full moon still hung high in the sky.

Xiyuan let go of my lips, and I snuggled into his arms blindfolded.

Ground ......

The leader of the onmyoji said, "There is a difference in the sky...... Certainly...... Oh no! They want to get the eagle away! Come on, everyone, break the magic circle! We can't let them succeed! You two lead a team of people to find out the source of the spell, and the spellcaster must not be far away!"

"Yes!" the two onmyoji led the way away with a dozen or so people.

The rest of the onmyoji did their best to cast spells and chant spells.

I saw that in the team of the Onmyoji, there was already vomiting blood and falling!

As soon as the old man cast the spell, his position was revealed.

The team of Onmyoji quickly found him.

As the onmyoji gathered around the hut, I heard the old man laugh with a sad heart.

"Stupid! Delusional to confront the immortals! Hmph, hum, hum...... In that case...... No wonder me!"

A black mist emerged from the house. The black mist grew larger and larger, and finally transformed into a huge black beast, roaring into the air with its teeth and claws.

The black beast had a pair of wings on its back, but it looked like a tiger.

Wherever it passes, there is no life, no grass!

The onmyoji around the hut were suddenly shocked!

They immediately cast spells, and though they had little effect, they stubbornly resisted!

The giant beast seemed to have no interest in the onmyoji, and it quickly left the confines of the hut, and swept the roof tiles, flying sand, and tree trunks and branches along the way, and flew towards the courtyard where the eagle was.

"Everyone, hurry up and evacuate!" The leading Onmyoji noticed that the black beast in the sky was revealing a frightened color behind it, and he immediately lit a signal rod and sent a signal to the sky.

"Let's go to the liao to report the situation and make a decision!"

Soon I saw the Onmyoji evacuate quickly!

After all, it's not easy to train a good Onmyoji! They won't be stupid enough to make unnecessary sacrifices!

And on the other side......

The old man has appeared!

It was a lean old man in a black robe, who slammed the door open, knelt on the plank, and respectfully stretched out his hands into the void, palms facing the sky in a holding shape.

Xiyuan flew away from the top of the tower with me on his back, and in the blink of an eye, he stood in front of the old man.

The old man looked at Xiyuan and me with a smile, as if he had expected us to come.

With our arrival, the storm actually stopped in an instant.

The black beast turned back into a cloud of black mist, floated to the old man's hands and hovered for a while, and then burrowed into a small carp-shaped iron can hanging from the old man's chest.

The little carp-shaped tin can was very small, at most a little bigger than my thumb.

The night fell silent.

I only realized at this time, Xiyuan may have planned all this a long time ago.

I couldn't help but ask, "Xiyuan, tell me! What are you planning?"

Xiyuan looked down at me, and there was tenderness in his eyes.

He rubbed my head and said, "Yue'er, don't worry! everything will be fine!"

I was completely confused.

What's going on with all this?

Xiyuan smiled and held my hand, but I was stupidly stunned.

A girl walked out of the room.

This girl!

I looked at her in amazement!

It's the woman of my dreams!

"Xiyuan! you came early!" she arrogantly ignored me and walked straight in front of Xiyuan.

When she saw my hands clasped with Xiyuan, her beautiful face distorted invisibly.

"Xuan Yue!" Xi Yuan said to her coldly, "Quickly lift the spell you put on her!"
