Volume 1 Chapter 3 The Night of the Full Moon (Part 1)

  Qingchi pulled He Tong to the corner, excitedly unfolding the treasure map. That sheepskin ancient scroll was indeed a treasure map, but what it recorded wasn't ordinary gold and silver treasures, but rather the hiding place of a magical creature, no, it's better to call it a sacred beast.

  According to the ancient scroll, hundreds of years ago, the Yin family joined forces to fight against the evil beast Bing Tong, and finally defeated it and sealed it. Legend has it that this evil beast was enormous in size, with a face like an evil cow, a body like a giant bear, covered in scales all over its body, with a pair of eyes as big as a bronze bell, emitting a cold and eerie glow, like an iceberg or a snowy forest, hence the name Bing Tong.

  The ancient scroll also says that after Ice Pupil is sealed for 500 years, it will be purified and become a sacred beast that brings benefits to humans, just like the evil beast Silver Hoof from a thousand years ago. Moreover, the first person who unseals it can make a wish to it and have it fulfilled.

  "How about it, He Tong, shall we go together?"

  "Cough, cough!" He Tong cleared his throat twice and asked: "Qing Chi, how old are you?"

  "Almost 17."

  "We're all grown-ups now, how can you still believe in this?"

  "This must be true! You're not unaware that our family has many such antiques, which time was a scam?"

  "This is too absurd, how can this be possible, I'm telling you..."

  "Hey He Tong, there's a girl looking for you, she's standing right at the entrance!" a classmate shouted loudly.

  "Haha, Qingchi, sorry about that, I really don't have the time to accompany you, eh, being a handsome guy is tough too!"

  Yin Qingchi spread out his hands and smiled helplessly.

  No choice, according to the sheepskin ancient scroll's records, today is exactly the last day of 500 years. If nothing unexpected happens, a full moon should appear. And the place where Bingtong was sealed is actually the small forest behind the school. It's really unexpected that hundreds of years ago, this was a deep mountain and old forest with almost no human habitation.

  "Oh, right! If there's any danger, just silently chant 'Great General' three times in your heart, and I'll appear!" After saying this, He Tong disappeared without a trace.

  Humph! Blindly arrogant and domineering...

  Sacred Cross Academy, small woods behind the mountain.

  The sky gradually darkened, and a streak of sunset dyed the originally azure sky a deep red.

  The fragrant grass is swaying gently, the emerald leaves are shading densely, the clear pond is humming a gentle tune, and I am walking on the winding mountain path.

  Wishes, a wish indeed! Of course, it's to make Xia Xinyue change her evil ways and become his girlfriend! Yin Qingchi couldn't help but smile, and in his mind, he saw her lovely figure again, her every frown and smile tightly grasping at Qingchi's heart.

  "Bang!"

  "Oh no! My head!" Qingchi crouched down, covering the large bruise on his head.

  "Haha, how come you're so unlucky? Something always happens to you when you walk!" A silvery laugh echoed from behind, and Qingchi turned around to see that it was actually the naughty girl Xia Xinyue who had been on her mind!

  "You, you, you... how... I... I don't have... no sheepskin... you..." Qingchi's words were already incoherent, his tongue was starting to roll up.

  "What are you doing here in the back mountain?" Xinyue asked, taking out a pack of cigarettes and lighting one with her lighter.

  Yin Qingchi's face was flushed red, the person she loved was right in front of her, but she couldn't bear to look at her straight. Qingchi scolded herself for being useless in her heart, if only she had a tenth of He Tong's eloquence, she wouldn't be so miserable now.

  "Cough, cough, cough..." A series of delicate coughs came over, Qing Chi raised his head, and saw Xinyue with a furious expression, throwing the cigarette and lighter in her hand to the ground, and angrily stomping on them!

  "X, I've been studying all day and still can't get it, what a stupid thing!"

  Yin Qingchi was both surprised and delighted, asking: "Aren't you a smoker? How come today?"

  Xia Xinyue's face turned slightly red, and she said disdainfully, "What can you do! That day I saw those bad boys smoking, looking so cool, and I wanted to learn, but no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't!"

  "You, it's not good to learn this. Cigarettes contain a lot of tar and nicotine, which are equivalent to chronic poison, harming not only yourself but also the health of those around you. It can be said that there are a hundred harms and no benefits. Moreover, I've never heard anyone say that smoking is cool?"

  "Hey hey hey, you're studying medicine?"

  "Yeah, how did you know? I was thinking of taking the medical exam." Qingchi rubbed the back of his head, looking a bit embarrassed.

  Xia Xinyue let out a sigh and asked, "You still haven't answered me, what are you doing here so late?"

  "This, this..." Qingchi's words got stuck in her throat. If she were to find out about this kind of thing, her own wishes would be completely hopeless! No way, I must keep my mouth shut and absolutely cannot let her know!

  "Ah..." Yin Qingchi was pondering what to do next, when suddenly a warm breath tickled his ear, and before he knew it, Xia Xinyue had leaned against his back.

  "Tell me, what are you doing here?" Xīnyuè said while gently biting Qingchi's earlobe and occasionally blowing hot air into his ear.

  In fact, Xia Xinyue was not a casual woman at all. She just thought that the big boy in front of her was clumsy and silly, honest and stupidly lovely, so she always wanted to tease him.

  This is why good people are often deceived... alas...

  Feeling the warmth around his ears and the elegant curves on his back, Qing Chi's whole body stiffened, but in his heart, he felt a softness that had seeped into his bones.

  Qingchi puffed out his chest and stuttered: "Y-you... come down first, I-I'll say... I'll say..."

  Yin's Mansion

  Niang Yong Xiaolan was sweeping the study when she accidentally found a piece of sheepskin paper that had fallen under the desk.

  "What is this?" Little Orchid picked it up and took a look, only to see that the front of the sheepskin paper was densely filled with words. She furrowed her brow, turned the sheepskin paper over, and suddenly discovered that there was a thin layer inside, just enough to fit two fingers in.

  Xiao Lan tried, and from the gap pulled out a piece of paper, which read: "Bing Tong is born with a stubborn temperament, eccentric and peculiar. Even 500 years of sealing can't tame it, beware of later generations."

  What does this mean? Let's take it to the old master and have a look.

  The full moon's silver light casts a thin veil over the earth. Under the lush green trees, by the clear small river, on the gentle green grass, long-haired little girls and short-haired little boys sit scattered about, chatting away.

  "No need to say more! Listen to me!" Xia Xinyue's face was full of beautiful expectations for the future, with no room for negotiation in her words. "Let it fulfill my wish first! If two can be fulfilled, you can talk about yours then!"

  Qingchi wanted to cry but had no tears. What a vicious woman! The good fruit she had found with great difficulty, was it going to be handed over to someone just like that?

  "Hurry, Qingchi, it's already 12 o'clock! The seal can be lifted!" Xia Xinyue couldn't hide her inner excitement, and instructed Qingchi to pull the holy altar out of the freshly dug pit.
