Chapter 6: The Howling of Wolves on a Moonlit Night

  Three years later.

  Blood Spirit Village, behind the mountain, deep night.

  "Calm down, sober up, and I must suppress the despicable wolf-like nature with my humanity..."

  Under the moonlight, a youth with a S-shaped blood jade pendant around his neck and an obviously distorted face sat cross-legged on a half-person-high bluestone, gritting his teeth and muttering to himself.

  Just from the S-shaped blood jade on his neck, it was clear that he was Xie Yu Xiao, the second-generation spiritual master of the Blood Spirit Sect.

  The full moon rose to the top of his head, shining straight down on his pale face.

  At this moment, he suddenly trembled and knelt down on the large bluestone, looking up at the full moon and letting out a mournful howl. The howling sound was stirring, waking up the sleeping night, startling the birds resting in the forest, the birds flapped their wings and flew towards the distance...

  "Wooooo~~ Wooooo~~"

  From afar came a few howls of wolves, even more ominous and terrifying than his whistle.

  The howling sound arrived in an instant. There were over ten gray wolves with eyes glowing green, the gray wolves growled for a while and then surrounded Xie Yu Xiao who was unconscious and had a strong wolf-like aura, in the middle. After circling around several times, seven of the wolves scratched their front paws, bared their teeth, and jumped towards Xie Yu Xiao on the bluestone...

  At the time of speaking, it was quick. Only a few sharp whistling sounds passed by, and five out of seven wolves that flew up fell from the air, wailing and escaping in all directions. A pink figure flashed by, "bang bang" two more sounds rang out, and the other two wolves were slapped into the river, wailed for a while and then didn't move.

  Pink figure with long hair fluttering steadily fell to the ground.

  "Well done! Xi Yu is so decisive and efficient!"

  A long-braided girl standing behind a pink-haired figure clapped her hands and cheered loudly for the long-haired girl who had just knocked down seven wolves.

  These two women were none other than the "Blood Spirit Jade Maidens" Xi Yu and Xi Ting. Three years had passed, and this pair of twin sisters had grown into slender and elegant young ladies who moved with a gentle charm.

  "It's up to you now." Xi Yu patted her hands and turned away. Xi Ting quickly picked up a few stones from the ground and threw them at the wolves that were still surrounding them. The remaining wolves had just seen their companions die or get injured, and they were already fearful. Seeing Xi Ting wave her hand again, they didn't dare to stay any longer and ran towards the deep mountains.

  A pebble hit the void and landed on the gravel, bursting out a few sparks, clanging loudly.

  "From now on, move faster! What did Master Xie teach us since we were young? Strike like an arrow off the string..."

  Xiting's face turned red with embarrassment, she lowered her head and walked to the front of the large bluestone, bent down, stretched out her hand to shake Xie Yuwei who was lying on it, and softly called: "Yuwei brother, Yuwei brother, wake up, hurry up and wake up!"

  Xie Yu Xiao was drenched in sweat, his eyes tightly closed, and the muscles on his face twisted, making him look quite frightening. Xi Ting took a glance and stretched out her right hand to wipe away Xie Yu Xiao's sweat. Unexpectedly, before her hand even touched his cheek, Xie Yu Xiao suddenly opened his eyes wide, raised his head towards the sky, and let out another mournful howl.

  Xiting's mouth was wide open, still not reacting to what was happening. Xie Yuxiao suddenly lifted her hands off the bluestone and grabbed onto Xiting's pink shirt, violently tearing it apart. The poor quality of the shirt couldn't withstand such force, buttons fell off one by one, and a patch of snowy white skin was completely exposed under the moonlight.

  Xiting was shocked and lost her composure, standing there stupidly, at a loss for what to do. Xiyu saw that her sister was still being foolish at a time like this and was so angry she could die, shouting loudly: "Idiot, the Spirit Master's mind is unclear right now, his desires are in chaos, hurry up and seal the Spirit Master's acupoints."

  Someone reminded her, and Xī Tíng immediately stretched out her right hand with two fingers and quickly tapped twice in front of Xiè Yǔxiāo's chest.

  Xie Yuxiao stopped moving, and the surroundings fell silent again. Xiting seemed to have forgotten what had just happened, forgotten about her torn shirt and the beautiful breasts that were exposed outside, staring intently at Xie Yuxiao's eyes for a long time, until his pupils slowly enlarged and cleared up, before a smile finally appeared on her face, excitedly shouting: "Yuxiao ge is okay, Yuxiao ge is okay."

  "Aren't you ashamed? Hurry up and fix your clothes!"

  Xiting's ears turned red, and she immediately pulled her hands over the torn shirt to cover her chest tightly and jumped down from the bluestone, running away. Xiyu was furious, and she couldn't understand why she had such a brainless younger sister. After Xiting ran away, she went forward to help Xie Yushuo unblock his acupoints.

  Xie Yu Xiao blinked a few times, looked at Xi Yue, then lowered his head to look at himself, and struggled to sit up on the bluestone, asking: "How did you end up here?" Xi Yue reached out to wipe his forehead, pointing down and saying: "Old Xie told us to come find you. You were in great danger just now, with so many wolves."

  Xie Yuxiao followed Xi Yu's finger and saw two wolf corpses that had been struck down in the river below Shishan.

  "Xiting, what are you doing? Where is Lingzhu and Xiyu?"

  Under the moonlight, an old man with a humpback and white whiskers, wearing a sweat-drenched shirt and shorts, slowly walked towards this direction with a celadon bowl in his left hand.

  "Thanks, old man, how did you come?" Xi Yu's figure flashed and floated beside the hunchbacked old man.

  "I'm afraid you won't be able to invite the spiritual master."

  "It's okay, we just fended off a pack of wolves attacking our master. Let's send them off and our master has just come to."

  "What's going on with Xiting? You scolded her again?"

  "No need to thank me, old man. Why are you always protecting her? Just now, the master's mind was unclear and he tore her clothes."

  Xie Lao stroked his white beard, handed the blue porcelain bowl in his left hand to Xi Yu, and took off his own undershirt to pass it to Xi Ting. Xi Ting blushed as she accepted the undershirt, walked aside and put it on.

  Xie Lao walked a few steps forward to the front of the big green stone, looking at Xie Yu Xiao who was still sitting on it, and asked with concern: "Spirit Master, are you okay?"

  "I'm fine, just need to rest for a while."

  "That, that Second Tiger's father went to the hospital for a check-up a few days ago, had some kind of film taken, said there was a tumor growing in his brain, it's a big hassle..."

  "Alright, alright, I don't want to hear this. Whatever illness you have, come find me. What's the hospital for? Because of them, look at what I've become! Am I still human? I'm almost a wolf now. Every full moon night, I have to endure such suffering. Why? If it continues like this, what will I become? Have you ever thought about me?"

  Xie Yu Xiao's voice gradually faded away, her eyes fixed straight ahead at the small river in front of her.

  "For three years, the villagers have been accustomed to your presence and revered you as a 'god', how can it be easy to withdraw now?"

  Xie Yuxiao didn't speak, still staring blankly at the river. Xi Yu seemed a bit restless and said: "Master Ling, Old Xie, it's getting late, if we don't leave soon, Er Hu's father will probably..."

  Xie Lao waved his hand to stop Xi Yue's words, with a hint of guilt on his face, and said to Xie Yu Xiao: "I understand that after all these years, the blood in the spiritual master's body has almost been replaced by wolf blood, which is why this situation occurred. In the past few days, I have been thinking about this matter, feeling that we can't let you drink wolf blood anymore, so I told them to use human blood as a medicine guide when preparing the holy water."

  Xie Lao glanced at Xi Yu, and Xi Yu called out to Xi Ting, asking her to bring the bowl over. Xi Ting responded with a sound, pulled up the vest that Xie Lao had just put on, took the celadon bowl from her sister's hand, and walked over with a flushed face.

  Xie Lao caught the blue porcelain bowl and said: "This is Er Hu's mother's blood, Master Ling drank it and went to save his father!"

  "What? What did you say?" Xie Yu Xiao's face turned pale with fear, his body leaning back, and he exclaimed in shock: "You want me to drink human blood? No, I won't do it! If I drink human blood, am I still a human being? No, I won't drink it. I can save Er Hu's father, but I absolutely cannot drink human blood. Let me continue drinking wolf blood instead!" As he spoke, he was about to crawl towards the river in front of him, where two wolf corpses were floating, killed by Xi Yu.

  Xie Lao felt it was pointless to continue, so he gave Xi Yu a signal. Xi Yu moved extremely quickly, and with a flash of her body, she had already controlled Xie Yu Shuo's right arm, pinching his cheek with two fingers, while her left hand took the bowl from Xie Lao's hands and poured the blood-colored liquid into his mouth.

  The blood color had all entered Xie Yu Xiao's mouth, Xi Yue slowly helped Xie Yu Xiao up.

  "How can you bully me like this? What am I to you, why are you treating me like this?" Xie Yu Xiao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a dull gaze.

  Xiting felt a pang of heartache, walked over and put Xie Yuxiao's left arm around her neck, looked at her sister on the right side, and whispered: "Sister, we shouldn't treat Yuxiao Ge like this, he doesn't want to do things that we shouldn't force him to do, Yuxiao Ge is very distressed!"

  "Xiyu glared at Xiting and said, 'You silly girl, what do you know? Yu Xiao is the Lingzhu, it's his duty to save the people in the village. Just like our duty is to protect the Lingzhu, do you understand?'"

  "But, however, Yu Xiao Ge is really suffering..."
