Chapter 186 Beautiful Lake Blue Eyes
Upon hearing this, the expressions on their faces immediately changed.
As soon as Chu Wenqing realized what was happening, he quickly went to the door. He wasn't stupid; instead of rushing to open the door, he asked a question.
"Who are you? Why have you come to us for help?"
"Waaaaah... Brother, please save me! Let me in! There's... there's a monster trying to eat me!!"
Upon hearing about the man-eating monster, Chu Wenqing's expression became even more serious.
Su Luo frowned.
In the dead of night, a child suddenly appears in an empty village, begging for help... Something feels off. Is she overthinking it?
But this is an illusion, so it's best to be careful!
Thinking of this, Su Luo simply closed her eyes and used her divine sense to investigate the situation outside, but found that she couldn't see anything at all! At some point, a thick fog rose in the night, and everything was white. She could only barely make out a small figure at the door.
Su Luo opened her eyes, and was about to let Song Qiao smell if there were any monsters nearby when suddenly a series of low roars of ferocious beasts came from afar outside the door, followed by a child's sharp and terrified scream, and at the same time the knocking on the door became even louder.
"Aaaaaah! It's here! It's coming to eat me! Aaaaah! Please save me! Let me in! I'm tiny, I won't take up much space! Please!!"
In this emergency, Chu Wenqing was completely flustered and instinctively looked at Su Luo, his eyes asking whether to open the door or not.
Su Luo thought for a moment, then nodded to signal Chu Wenqing to open the door. However, she didn't speak, but instead whispered a reminder to him.
"The fog outside is too thick, you can't see anything. After you open the door, use your senses to feel where that monster is. If there really is a monster nearby, let it come in and hide; if there is no monster... I don't need to say anything more, right? In short, you must be careful in everything you do."
Fortunately, after entering the secret realm, they all had a protective talisman affixed to their bodies, providing double protection.
Chu Wenqing nodded repeatedly, holding the Thunderclap Sword in one hand and reaching out to open the door with the other.
Song Qiao and Feng Xiyue were worried, so they walked over and stood behind him, holding weapons and ready to provide support at any time.
The children outside were still frantically pounding on the door, their cries growing increasingly desperate. At the same time, they heard the increasingly loud roars of wild animals, and the sound of wild animals running closer and closer.
"Aaaaaah! Help! Please, let me in! Let me in!!"
Chu Wenqing quickly told the other person to stop knocking on the door, and at the same time, he sped up and removed the bolt from the door.
At the same time, Lin Ji pulled Su Luo's hand and quickly retreated into a secluded room, covering her mouth with his other hand. Before Su Luo could react, she could already hear the boy's low voice.
“I have a feeling that something is strange. Let’s hide and see what happens first, and then go out to help if something unexpected happens.”
Su Luo's eyes flashed.
Unexpectedly, Lin Ji also felt that something was wrong! It's fine this way now!
So she stopped struggling, nestled in Lin Ji's arms, nodded, and took out two concealment talismans to stick on their bodies, so that no one or any demon beast would easily detect their presence.
At this moment, Chu Wenqing had already opened the door.
The gate was wide open, and sure enough, a one-month-old baby was lying at the entrance, while outside was a vast expanse of white fog.
The three of them first glanced at the child at the door, but before they could get a good look at him, they looked up and looked outside. They saw something huge in the thick white fog, rapidly approaching them and getting closer and closer!
Feng Xiyue's expression changed drastically. She grabbed the child and pulled him inside, ordering, "Close the door quickly!"
Chu Wenqing and Song Qiao hurriedly closed the door and then locked it.
Almost immediately, a heavy thud echoed outside the door, followed by a deafening roar. Then, something slammed into the door, causing the entire house to tremble.
Even Chu Wenqing and his two companions, who had already killed so many demonic beasts, were so frightened that their hearts skipped a beat.
Holding the Thunderclap Sword, Chu Wenqing looked ready to unleash her power. "What kind of ferocious beast is this?! Senior Sister, did you see what it looks like?"
Feng Xiyue shook her head, "The fog is too thick, we can't see anything."
Chu Wenqing then asked Song Qiao, "Junior brother, did you smell the scent on this demonic beast? How was it? Was it ferocious?"
"I...I did smell it..." Song Qiao's expression was somewhat strange, "but..."
However, he didn't smell the blood of a typical demonic beast on this wild animal...
Just as Song Qiao was about to continue speaking, the child suddenly grabbed Chu Wenqing's leg and screamed in panic, his voice sharp and piercing, "Ahhh!!"
For a moment, the whole room was filled with children's screams.
"..."
Chu Wenqing felt that even if he wasn't scared to death by wild beasts, he would be deafened by the noise of children.
The monster outside the door rammed against it for a while but couldn't break it open. So it stopped ramming and instead circled the house a few times. After confirming that it couldn't get in, it let out a frustrated cry and then gradually ran away.
The group breathed a sigh of relief, and the child stopped crying and instead lowered his head and wept silently.
Chu Wenqing and the other two rubbed their still-ringing ears, their faces relaxing. They subconsciously looked into the room, only to find that Su Luo and Lin Ji were nowhere to be seen, and were immediately shocked.
“Su…!”
Just as they were about to call out Su Luo's name in their shock, Su Luo suddenly transmitted her voice to the three of them, telling them about her and Lin Ji's plans.
The three of them looked at each other, and only then did they feel relieved, and their expressions returned to normal.
They were terrified! In the blink of an eye, they realized Su Luo and Lin Ji were gone, and they were worried something had happened to them! Thankfully, they're alright!
Feng Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the child still trembling and crying, she couldn't help but sigh and squat down to comfort him: "Don't cry. Don't worry, it's safe here. The monsters outside can't get in."
The child sobbed, looking up at Feng Xiyue with a dirty little face and disbelief in his eyes. "Really...really?"
Upon closer inspection, Feng Xiyue noticed that although the child's face and body were quite dirty, his/her eyes were exceptionally beautiful. They were not only watery and endearing, but they were also a rare lake blue!
Meeting those lake-blue eyes, Feng Xiyue felt her heart soften even more, and she couldn't help but soften her tone, saying, "Of course. Don't worry, it's very safe here with the protective barrier. By the way, what's your name? Are you a boy or a girl?"
The child stared intently at Feng Xiyue and obediently replied, "I...I'm called Alan...I'm a girl..."
Feng Xiyue chuckled, "Ah Lan, that name suits your eyes quite well."
Chu Wenqing, standing nearby, couldn't help but exclaim in an exaggeratedly strange voice, "Holy crap! Senior sister, what's wrong with you?!"
Why is she suddenly being so gentle with a strange child?! It's kind of scary!
Feng Xiyue wasn't annoyed at all. She didn't even glance at Chu Wenqing, but instead pulled Alan to sit down at the spot where they had just grilled fish.
The grilled fish was almost finished, with only some fish bones left on the ground. Seeing this, Alan's stomach immediately growled loudly. She said somewhat embarrassedly, "I...I haven't eaten all day..."
"How can a child not eat?"
Feng Xiyue frowned and immediately took out a cup of fish soup from her storage bag and handed it to Alan. "Eat quickly. While you eat, tell us what happened and why a monster was chasing you."
Alan watched her lick her lips and nodded. She took the fish soup but didn't rush to drink it. Instead, she turned around and beckoned Chu Wenqing and Song Qiao to come over as well.
"Brothers, please... sit down too..."
Chu Wenqing was initially somewhat dissatisfied that his senior sister was only paying attention to the child and ignoring him, but as soon as he met the child's beautiful lake-blue eyes, his displeasure vanished without a trace, replaced by a fondness for him.
Wow! Your eyes are lake blue! They're so beautiful!
This was the first time he had ever seen lake-blue eyes in this world. In his previous life, he had only known that foreigners had this color of eyes!
Chu Wenqing found it amusing and skipped over, chattering excitedly as she leaned against the child, "Senior sister even gave you fish soup! This is ice spirit fish from the Xuanbing Realm, it's especially delicious! You must enjoy it!"
Compared to Chu Wenqing's enthusiasm, Song Qiao seemed much colder. He glanced at A Lan, then suddenly lowered his head, frowning.
At this moment, half of the spirit beast blood in his body is boiling!
He had never encountered anything like this before. But when he made eye contact with the child just now, the blood in his body suddenly boiled, as if it were screaming and struggling for something.
His intuition told him that something was wrong with the child in front of him!
So Song Qiao lowered his eyes and shook his head, refusing, "I'm worried about what's happening outside the door, so I'll feel more at ease watching from here."
The child opened her mouth as if to say something, but Chu Wenqing and Feng Xiyue pulled her aside and asked her a series of questions, so she had to turn her head to answer them.
No one noticed that the ends of the child's hair, which were loose at the back of her neck, suddenly stuck up like snakes, then quickly fell back down and lay flat on the back of her neck.
This bizarre scene was witnessed by Su Luo and her companion, who were hiding in the room. Su Luo's expression turned extremely grim.
It seems she and Lin Ji weren't being paranoid; that child really does have a problem! What was that hair just now?!
Lin Ji had already guessed what this "child" was. In an instant, a cold smile appeared on his lips, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Just as he was thinking about how to kill that thing, he felt a warmth in his arms. Looking down, Lin Ji saw Su Luo nestled obediently in his embrace, the two very close. His heart softened, and in an instant, the murderous intent he felt vanished.
Lin Ji calmly put his arm around Su Luo's waist, a faint smile playing on his lips, and didn't rush to leave.
Fine, let Chu Wenqing and the others learn their lesson first...
