85: C85 Charm

C85 Charm

Gu Yuan looked around and decided to wake Niu Tiechui up and tell him about what had happened.

Niu Tiechui didn't alarm anyone as he listened to Gu Yuan's description with a face full of surprise.

Then, the expression on his face changed to one of caution.

Seeing the change in Niu Tiechui's expression, Gu Yuan asked, "Do you know what's going on here? Is it the Netherworld Sect or the abnormality within the mountain? "

Niu Tiechui frowned: "I'm afraid this has nothing to do with Netherworld Sect. I've heard that there are many Charm Demons appearing in this mountain, and I'm afraid that the one you encountered before was the Charm Demon."

"Charm Demon? What is that? "

Niu Tiechui explained, "This thing is either a ghost or a ghost, and no one knows how it was produced. It's good at seducing and creating illusions, making it hard to guard against and difficult to deal with."

Niu Tiechui looked at Qingming, who was on Gu Yuan's shoulder, and spoke again, "But you don't have to worry too much. Based on your description, Qingming doesn't seem to be affected by illusions. He's a true demon."

Gu Yuan was surprised. He looked at Qingming, who was emitting a green glow from Qingming's shoulder.

As if she knew that Qing Ming was praising her, she raised her head up high and let out a proud cry.

Knowing that Qingming could restrain the Succubus, Gu Yuan finally felt relieved. Niu Tiechui didn't feel sleepy anymore, so he decided to stay up and watch the night with Gu Yuan.

Niu Tiechui was, after all, a Zongshi realm warrior and his physical fitness couldn't be compared to that of an ordinary person's. He would be fine even if he didn't sleep for a few days, so Gu Yuan didn't reject him.

What the two didn't realize was that while the Charm Demon was pestering Gu Yuan, a pitch-black Qi appeared in the resting area of the group without a sound. After pausing for a moment, it went straight into the sleeping Qin Xiaoyue's forehead.

After the black air entered her body, Qin Xiaoyue's forehead, which was originally relaxed, suddenly frowned. A trace of panic appeared on her face, but after a few seconds, Qin Xiaoyue's expression relaxed again.

The next morning, everyone woke up. After a simple meal, they departed.

Qin Xiaoyue, who had been silent the whole way, finally seemed to be in a good mood. Not only did she smile, but she also started to talk.

This made Zhang Jie and the others, who were surrounding Qin Xiaoyue, happy.

Although they knew that the mountain was dangerous, the team seemed to have become more relaxed.

Hearing the laughter and cheers coming from time to time, Niu Tiechui looked meaningfully at Wu Tie and said: "Why don't you go with them?"

Gu Yuan shook his head and decided to walk with Niu Tiechui.

He didn't know why, but when he turned his head back and saw Qin Xiaoyue, Zhang Jie, and the others talking and laughing, even having physical contact with each other, he felt a wave of uneasiness in his heart, as if he was stuck.

Niu Tiechui already had a family, and he had several children. Therefore, he understood Gu Yuan's feelings very well, but even though they didn't interact much, he knew how stubborn Gu Yuan was. Seeing Gu Yuan's rejection, he could only shake his head and sigh helplessly.

Before they entered the mountain range, they would occasionally encounter ferocious beasts, but they were easily taken care of by Niu Tiechui. This was because after entering the more dangerous mountain range, they didn't even encounter a ferocious beast, and it seemed to be safer than outside.

If there was not a single beast in this dangerous jungle, then there was only one possibility.

There were even more dangerous existences nearby that even the ferocious beasts did not dare to step foot in.

The crowd seemed to have unknowingly fallen into an unknown danger, but they were still unaware of it.

This caused Niu Tiechui and Gu Yuan to feel deeply uneasy and become more vigilant.

That night, they cleared out an open space, which was still guarded by Gu Yuan and Niu Tiechui.

After dinner, Qin Xiaoyue, Zhang Jie and the rest did not immediately go to rest but sat around the table. Zhang Jie and Wang Jian would occasionally tell a joke, which would always make Qin Xiaoyue laugh out loud every time.

Turning his head to look at them, Gu Yuan's heart skipped a beat. He felt something was wrong with Qin Xiaoyue, as if she was different from her usual self.

Niu Tiechui said to Wu Tie in a voice much smaller than usual, "Stop looking, there's a problem."1

Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment. He turned his head and looked at Niu Tiechui blankly, not knowing what Niu Tiechui meant.

Niu Tiechui continued to whisper, "When we were rushing back in the afternoon, Zhang Jie secretly slipped me a note with the words' Qin Xiaoyue has changed 'on it. I suppose you felt it too. "

Hearing Niu Tiechui's words, Gu Yuan's expression suddenly changed. He immediately recalled Qin Xiaoyue's previous appearance in his mind.

As he had expected, Qin Xiaoyue was completely different from what he remembered. The Qin Xiaoyue in his memory was pure and lively, and she treated people he didn't like with icy coldness and didn't say a word.

At this moment, Qin Xiaoyue was talking and laughing with Zhang Jie and the others.

"Zhang Jie is just a piece of cake. Calm down when things happen and prioritize the overall situation. He has the same moral character as his father and is someone who has achieved great things."

Niu Tiechui's praise was not exaggerated at all. To be able to realize something amiss when he was facing someone he liked and to inform Niu Tiechui in time, his scheming was admirable.

This reminded Gu Yuan of those formidable figures in his previous life. Which one of them didn't achieve great things through stepping on countless bones and even sacrificed his feelings?

This kind of person was able to become a qualified leader, but was not someone that a woman could entrust. They needed to overestimate their position, so naturally, their personal relationship wouldn't be too high.

Just based on this point, Gu Yuan wouldn't allow Qin Xiaoyue to be together with Zhang Jie. Whether he was worthy of Qin Xiaoyue was one thing, but whether Qin Xiaoyue could be happy was another.

"Do you know what's going on?" Gu Yuan asked.

However, Niu Tiechui shook his head and said, "If I knew, I would have made my move long ago. For the sake of Xiao Yue's safety, we can only wait and see, or figure out the reason."

Gu Yuan became anxious. Suddenly, a thought struck him. He looked at Qingming, who was on his shoulder, and asked in his heart, "Do you know what happened to Qin Xiaoyue?"

Qingming's young and tender voice answered: "It's been … Demons... "Possession."

Gu Yuan's expression turned cold, and he continued to ask: "Is that the Charm Demon from last night?"

When Qing Ming heard this, he turned to look at Qin Xiaoyue who was still smiling. In its eyes, Qin Xiaoyue was no longer the same as before, but shrouded in a black mist, changing constantly. And in the black mist, Qin Xiaoyue's soul was constantly struggling, but was being suppressed by the black mist to death.

As for that black aura, Qingming was very familiar with it. It was the Succubus from last night.

Seeing Qing Ming nod his head, Gu Yuan hurriedly explained the situation to Niu Tiechui.

Niu Tiechui seemed very surprised.
