Chapter 1883: The Head Of The Heavenly Law
As Gu Xijiu did not want to wake him up from his dream, she decided to extend her hand gently and touch his soft face with the tip of her finger. However, before her finger made contact, his lashes suddenly quivered, and his eyes quickly opened.
In her astonishment, Gu Xijiu forgot to conceal herself, and their eyes met. She was dumbfounded, while Shen Nianmo could not believe what he saw! His previously blurry eyes enlarged in an instant!
Before Gu Xijiu could react, her eyes were suddenly shrouded in blackness— the blanket was about to envelop her! A hint of confusion hit her. She seemed to recall using this technique herself before and did not expect this child to use it as well.
She raised her hand, causing the blanket to fall to the ground without even grazing the sleeves of her robe.
"Ha!" A strong force pressed against her. The magnitude of the force was surprisingly large. Gu Xijiu took a few steps back and waved her sleeve, dissipating the force into nothing. She raised her head only to find the child having crashed and escaped from the window.
Gu Xijiu was usually a very stealthy person; hence, she did not see any of this coming. Moreover, was she that frightening? Why did the child react as though he had just seen a ghost? She touched her face inadvertently and felt the coldness of a mask.
She quite liked to put on masks recently and would wear it every time she was out. She possessed a huge selection of masks that came in a variety of styles. When Gu Xijiu decided to come here, she simply chose her mask without taking a close look. In fact, she scared herself when she saw the mask that she had chosen.
The mask portrayed a hauntingly white visage with a bloody red mouth that had half a tongue protruding from it; the mask looked eerily similar to the face of a hanged man! She coughed lightly. To think that a child saw a face like that in the middle of the night; he was already brave for not being scared out of his mind!
