Reunion

  Chapter 18: Reunion

  Night falls, and every household lights up their lamps, the firelight spills out of the windows like mischievous children, and the stars twinkle in this dark night, making it especially beautiful.

  "Ahh!" A strange cry startled Janice, who was reading a book. She put down the book in her hand and slowly walked to the window, gently pushing open the old-fashioned window that let in a faint scent.

  Outside the window, a huge eagle was perched on the roof. When he opened the window, the eagle flapped its massive wings with force, and its piercing eyes, which shone with a cold light, stared at him, with a hint of excitement.

  Janice's blue eyes flickered with a hint of surprise, she had never seen such a huge eagle before. The sharp and cold aura emanating from the large eagle made her feel like its prey.

  The eagle-eyed creature stared at Janice, its eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty light. It opened its massive beak and let out a loud "Wah, wah..." cry.

  Janice felt a thread of fear in her heart, she quickly closed the window and leaned against it with a deep sigh. Large eagles were not something he had never seen before, his country had many like vultures. Their eyes were also very sharp, but they didn't have the same piercing gaze as the eagle outside the window. It was enough to make one's heart feel timid.

  The eagle outside had a thick disdain in its sharp eyes. Did it think that such a broken window could block my way? It turned around and disappeared from view.

  Janice slowly calmed down and walked back to the table, picked up the book and continued reading. "Knock knock knock." The rhythmic knocking sound came from the door, "Guest, are you asleep?" Then the waiter's slightly sharp voice followed.

  Janice slightly furrowed her brow, helplessly put down the book, and walked forward to open the door. She saw that the partner outside the door was looking at him with a passionate smile. "Is there something?"

  The fellow smiled, a strange glint flashing in his eyes. "Heh heh... have you seen an eagle around here?"

  Thinking of that strange eagle, Janice felt a little creepy again. "Looked out, it should be on the rooftop outside the window."

  "Is it? Hehe..." The fellow smiled gloomily and immediately returned to his normal appearance.

  Janice's blue eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the enormous eagle before her. Her heart skipped a beat, and she took step by step backward. What kind of monster was this? She had only seen talking ghosts and spirits in movies, and she never thought she would encounter one in real life.

  Koyah's eyes gleamed with excitement as he spread his massive wings and stepped towards Janice, his eyes filled with a bloodthirsty glow. As one who also delighted in blood, he had never been like Aina, sucking the blood of just anyone. He would not deign to suck the blood of those lowly humans, for that would be beneath his noble status. Originally, this mission was supposed to be about dealing with that woman, but unexpectedly, while passing through this town, he caught wind of an unparalleled sweet fragrance, and couldn't resist the temptation to stop and see who it was that had such sweet blood.

  Geng Xiao You and his group walked for a long time before finally arriving at Lian Hua Town. The small town in the dark of night was not as elegant as it was during the day, but instead gave off an eerie atmosphere that made one's heart feel uneasy.

  "I'm so tired! I really want to find an inn and have a good sleep." Liu Qingfeng yawned, his peach blossom eyes full of drowsiness.

  Lan Huan Yun smiled gently and gazed at Geng Xiao You deeply. "Xiao You, are you tired?"

  Geng Xiao shook her head. Her physical condition was different from others, unless it was like last time. Otherwise, she would rarely feel tired.

  A hint of slyness flashed in Zhao Yimo's eyes, and his mouth curved up slightly.

  "Look ahead, baby." He Yanye smiled with a gentle smile, pointing forward.

  Following the direction of his pointing finger, looking far away, only to see a inn door wide open, dim light shining out from inside.

  Liu Qingfeng's eyes lit up, and half of his sleepiness disappeared instantly. He didn't expect that there would still be shops open at this late hour. It seemed that he could have a good night's sleep tonight. "Let's hurry over," he said, feeling somewhat impatient as he thought about having a bed to sleep in soon.

  Geng Xiao gazed at the inn in front of her, wondering why she felt a sense of unease. She sensed a hint of danger lurking not far away. Looking at that half-opened inn in the middle of the night, was it...?

  Geng Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, his whole body exuding a cold indifference. "Let's go take a look."

  "Good!" Seeing her appearance, Liu Qingfeng and others also felt that the inn was a bit strange.

  A group of people quickened their pace. The closer they got to the inn, the more they felt that something was off, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

  As I walked into the inn, I was shocked by what I saw. The shopkeeper and his apprentices were lying on the ground in a scattered manner. Their throats seemed to have been cut by some sharp object, and fresh red blood was flowing out. Their faces were filled with terrified expressions, their eyes wide open and staring forward. It was clear that they had been frightened before they died, otherwise they wouldn't be like this.

  Geng Xiao's eyes gleamed with a cold light as he rushed upstairs quickly. A group of people followed closely behind him. The creaking sound of the wooden stairs was even more eerie and ominous at this time.

  Only in the corridor were there also people who died miserably, their expressions exactly the same as those of the innkeeper and his apprentices below.

  From the left corridor came a "heh heh" laugh, and a group of people rushed over quickly. Only to see that one of the room doors was open, with sharp laughter coming from inside, a giant eagle flapping its wings towards the people in front.

  "Stop!" Geng Xiao shouted coldly.

  Koya, who was in the midst of a heated hunt, paused for a moment, clearly not expecting anyone to dare interrupt its fun. With anger radiating from its entire body, it quickly turned around, eager to see who had the audacity to do so.

  Looking at the person in front of him clearly, Koya sneered and smiled, with a look of disdain in his eagle eyes. "Heh... it's you? I didn't expect that I hadn't gone to find you, but you came to my door instead. Well! Since that's the case, I'll fulfill your wish." He flapped his wings, making a gesture as if he was about to attack Geng Xiao You.

  "Damn it, where did these monsters come from?" She smiled coldly, her eyes filled with frost. "Heh... you spoke too soon, because the one who will die last is you."

  Koya flapped her wings, her massive body shaking constantly, as if she had heard the most hilarious joke in the world. "Hehe... humans are so careful with their words, yet they still slip up. Do you think you can be my opponent?" She looked at Geng Xiao You with disdain, as if looking at an ant.

  Geng Xiao's lips curled up coldly, "Less nonsense, if you have the ability, follow me." She finished speaking and quickly flashed out.

  Koya angrily chased after him, how dare this human look down on it? The eagle's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

  He Yan Ye and the others wanted to chase after her, but were stopped by Zhao Yi Mo. "Wait a minute, she won't be in trouble, don't worry! Let's see if we can save the one inside the house instead." After saying that, he walked towards the house.

  The three stopped in their tracks, looked at each other, and nodded. Yeah! They wouldn't be able to help even if they went, and might even end up dragging her down.

  Zhao Yimo saw him walk into the room, and that person's shirt had already been torn to shreds by the eagle. From the tattered and blood-stained shirt, one could see that his fair skin was covered in red marks, with threads of blood oozing out from them. He was lying on the ground, panting heavily. He felt that his back looked very familiar, especially that head of golden hair. He walked forward and turned him over, "Jenice!" A hint of surprise flashed through his seductive eyes, wasn't he supposed to be back in the country?

  The three people outside rushed in quickly as soon as they heard his cry. Seeing the person he was holding in his arms, their eyes were all filled with surprise.

  Janice opened her blue eyes, her eyebrows slightly furrowed due to the pain. The injury made her originally pale face even paler, and a hint of surprise flashed across her blue eyes as she weakly asked, "You... how did you end up here?" Wasn't the town where he was supposed to be, Lianghua Town, supposed to be very far from City A?

  "Janice, don't ask for now?" He Yeye squatted down anxiously, "Mo, help him onto the bed first."

  Zhao Yimo nodded and helped Jenice up, slowly walking towards the bed.

  Janice sat down on the bed, wincing slightly as she did so. She gritted her teeth against the pain and asked somewhat impatiently, "How did you end up here?"

  Liu Qingfeng hooked his lips and smiled lightly, with a hint of happiness in his words. "Let's go find Xier." As soon as he thought of her, his heart felt like it was coated with honey, sweet beyond compare. Immediately afterwards, he furrowed his sword-like eyebrows, wondering how she was doing now? He was really worried.

  Janice's face was excited, and her blue eyes were full of disbelief. She asked cautiously: "Feng, are you saying that Elisa is still alive?" Seeing Liu Qingfeng nodding, his whole heart was stirred up by the news, completely forgetting the pain on his body.

  After the excitement, Janice's blue eyes scanned around, hoping to see the person she had been thinking about. "Where is Elisa?" Not seeing Geng Xiao You, Janice asked with some disappointment.

  He didn't ask, it's fine, but once he asked, three people were like ants on a hot pot, their hearts racing with anxiety.

  Liu Qingfeng's peach blossom eyes gazed at the doorway, hoping to see the person he was thinking of appear there.

  He Yan Ye was pacing back and forth on the spot, his usual calm demeanor gone.

  Lan Han's eyes were filled with worry, he sat on the chair, his hands clenched tightly.

  Zhao Yimo saw the looks on their faces and smiled slyly. "Jenice, don't ask them anymore, she'll be back soon. Let me take a look at your injury instead."

  Janice looked at them in confusion, nodding her head. Gnashing her teeth and enduring the pain, she took off the white shirt that was already tattered and stained with blood. On her chest, there were many wounds, crisscrossing each other, flesh bulging out, and a thin stream of blood flowing out continuously.

  It looks like the injury is not light, Zhao Yimo slightly furrowed his brow, and the "Shang" character on his forehead appeared. A white glow emerged in his hand, swinging towards Jenice.

  A warm white light enveloped Janice, and she felt a warmth all over her body, as if she was bathing in the spring breeze. All the wounds on her body were healing at a visible speed.

  Until the white light dissipated, there was no longer a shadow of injury on Jenice's body. "Ink! What's going on?" he asked anxiously, his blue eyes filled with incredulity.

  Zhao Yimo gave a charming and mysterious smile, shaking his head lightly. "Don't ask, you'll understand later." He glanced at the purple birthmark on Jenice's chest with a meaningful look.

  Janice followed his gaze, lowering her head to look at the purple birthmark on her chest, then looked at Zhao Yimo's birthmark on his forehead, and a daze appeared in his blue eyes.

  He had always felt that the purple birthmark on his chest was unusual. After looking up a lot of information, he finally found out that the birthmark on his chest, which looked like a character, was actually a "feather" character. He just couldn't figure out what this character meant.

  Liu Qingfeng and others gazed enviously at Zhao Yimo, when would they be able to break the seal and possess such power?
