In just a few seconds, Xiao Wu felt her face burning hot, her body heating up, and a warm current surging through her.
Looking down, drops of bright red blood were dripping from her nose into the stream, staining the clear water.
She was having a nosebleed!
Xiao Wu's eyes widened, flustered.
It was her first nosebleed, and she was a bit confused about the situation.
She could only tilt her head back to prevent the nosebleed from flowing out, while using her other hand to cup stream water to clean herself.
But unexpectedly, the more she tilted her head back, the more uncomfortable she felt. Her breathing became difficult, her entire nasal cavity was blocked, and she accidentally choked on her windpipe, coughing continuously.
"Am I going to die?"
Fear appeared in Xiao Wu's eyes.
"Lower your head and pinch the sides of your nose with your hand."
It was at this moment that a young man's voice, like a gentle breeze, sounded in her ears, as if in a dream.
At the same time, her nape felt cool, as if it were a cold cloth strip soaked in the stream.
It was magical; she followed the voice's instructions, and her nosebleed indeed stopped quickly.
But when she came to her senses and looked at the stream under the moonlight again, the young man and the Spirit Beasts were gone, leaving only a tranquil silence.
"Where is he?"
"Who… who exactly was he? His voice sounds somewhat familiar…"
"This person is just too handsome, isn't he?"
Xiao Wu took the white cloth from her nape. It turned out to be a towel. She sniffed its scent, which was a clear masculine fragrance, likely used by the young man after his bath.
She couldn't help but press it to her nose and sniff a few more times. The young man's face reappeared in her mind—his figure, his looks, truly peerless in the World, a rare find among humans; he was simply too handsome.
For a moment, Xiao Wu was somewhat intoxicated.
He wiped his body with this towel, and I'll wipe my face and mouth with it, so does that count as me getting close and intimate with him?
"I must find him!"
Xiao Wu clenched the white towel, her eyes more determined than ever before.
Perhaps this is what Mom called that human feeling, love at first sight!!!
...
While Xiao Wu was still helplessly lost in the young man's peerless immortal appearance, Xin had already led the two thousand-year Spirit Beasts and fled overnight, reaching the edge of the outer circle.
After confirming that no one was chasing him, Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He had spent a lot of effort in the Star Dou Great Forest to find the two thousand-eight-hundred-year Fierce Blood King Tiger, and the approximately two-thousand-four-hundred-year Ghost Barrier Great Serpent he was currently leading.
However, because he had been busy hunting spirit rings for Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong these past few days and had no time for himself, this time he was scouting suitable Spirit Beasts for Meng Yiran and Wang Sheng alone. He passed by a clear stream, so he decided to quickly clean his body and refresh himself.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Wu, by a strange coincidence, ran over and broke Xin's tranquility.
This girl even had a nosebleed from looking, which truly left Xin speechless.
"I hope this girl didn't recognize me."
Xin shook his head, swung himself onto the Fierce Blood King Tiger, led the Ghost Barrier Great Serpent, and galloped out of the forest.
The two thousand-year Spirit Beasts he had chosen for Wang Sheng and Meng Yiran were both extremely powerful, arguably having overlord-level Bloodline strength among thousand-year Spirit Beasts.
But in front of Xin, they seemed to have lost their wildness, and a three tomoe shape appeared in their beast eyes.
This was Xin's first Spirit Ability, Genjutsu, which could pull a living being's consciousness into an illusionary mirror.
Genjutsu are illusionary techniques in Ninja World that manipulate an opponent's mind and senses by controlling their chakra flow, making them experience things that aren't real, like false images, sounds, or intense pain, effectively "hacking" their brain to control their perceptions and actions. These sensory illusions, ranging from subtle distractions to paralysis or simulated torture, are broken by disrupting the chakra flow, often through physical shock (real pain), by sensing the chakra imbalance, or by having a teammate disrupt the flow externally.
In the eyes of the Ghost Barrier Great Serpent and the Fierce Blood King Tiger, their World was normal, the surrounding trees and the grass land, beautiful and dreamlike, and they themselves were no longer ferocious Spirit Beasts, but rather a colorful unicorn or a loyal guard dog, and Xin was their master.
