Chapter 858: Hungry
Little Yin smiled at Qi Xuansu, revealing two tiny canines. Instead of finding them cute, Qi Xuansu was reminded of Desmond’s vampire fangs, so he felt a chill running down his spine.
Little Yin pleaded, “Since we’re already here, we can’t leave empty-handed.”
Qi Xuansu replied firmly, “No. I’m here to meet Suzuka Gozen. I can’t afford any complications.”
Little Yin begged, “I promise I can finish it all! There won’t be any trouble.”
Qi Xuansu said angrily, “Even if you can eat it, we are now in the Ise Province, so this seal is most likely set up by Ise-jingu. If we destroy the seal, wouldn’t we be alerting the enemy and exposing our whereabouts? When they come after us, you might be reborn on that Emperor Willow of yours, but I only get one life!”
Little Yin pouted, her dark eyes staring at Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu was not sure if it was just his imagination, but her cute little face seemed to be slightly distorted.
Noticing this, Qi Xuansu thought, Was she also affected by the eeriness of Fenglin? After all, this land could turn living humans into monsters. Even Tamamo-no-Mae and Yamata-no-Orochi weren’t exceptions, let alone Little Yin.
Just then, a sudden gust of yin wind rose, as if ten thousand spirits were howling. Qi Xuansu’s robes fluttered, and the surrounding trees swayed violently.
Then came a faint sobbing sound, echoing through the dense forest like mist drifting through the air, worming directly into one’s ears.
Qi Xuansu’s body froze instantly. A chill crept up his spine, his scalp tingled, and sweat beaded on his forehead.
This time, he was truly in trouble.
