Jun Moyan was shocked and it took him a while before he uttered a bone-chilling statement:
"Are you saying that the crow drinks human blood?"
"Or to put it another way, someone is feeding the crow with blood," Qing Yi also found it unbelievable.
He had read plenty of horror novels, so naturally, his imagination ran wider than Jun Moyan’s when it came to these matters.
While drinking milk, Wen Xiao’ai thought of these two words.
Are Blood Crows not exclusive to the Demon Realm? How could one appear in the Human Realm?
Was it some human who had accidentally reared one for fun, or was it purposely released by the Demon Realm? Latest content publıshed on NovelHub(.)net
If it was released by the Demon Realm, what was the intent?
It shouldn’t be the Demon Realm, though, since the Seven Realms mustn’t interfere with each other and must coexist peacefully; otherwise, they would face divine retribution.
Moreover, if one realm starts causing trouble and disrupts another, breaking the natural rules, it would also face the wrath of the other realms.
Besides, humans are weak with only a bunch of useless metal machines.
Conquering the Human Realm wouldn’t bolster much power, would it?
Maybe she was just overthinking it.
"Also, the blood used to feed the crow is somewhat different from that of ordinary humans; as for the difference, we are still unable to pinpoint it exactly."
"..." Jun Moyan found himself unable to respond to that.
"Third Young Master, although these incidents sound bizarre and unbelievable, some things do not cease to exist just because they are unfelt. For instance, there have been long-standing rumors of witchcraft in the Miao territory. I think the crow’s appearance in Wu Garden twice is no coincidence," Qing Yi adopted the better-safe-than-sorry attitude.
Jun Moyan fell silent, deep in thought.
"Third Young Master, I suspect that the appearance of this crow is related to the Baiming Sect, and it might even be something the Sect Leader of the Baiming Sect is rearing."
Apart from the mysterious and sinister Sect Leader of the Baiming Sect, Qing Yi could not fathom anyone else who would use such horrifying means to feed a crow.
Recalling the look in the crow’s eyes, Jun Moyan felt uncomfortable all over: "It seems that the Baiming Sect has had an eye on us for a while now. The saying that a large tree catches the wind really is true; Ais must have been just a fuse."
The Baiming Sect must be coveting his power and his munitions factory.
"If that’s really the case, it looks like trouble is inevitable in the future," Qing Yi said with some concern.
"Who troubles whom is not yet certain," Jun Moyan spoke in a cold voice.
Would the Baiming Sect cause trouble? And wouldn’t he, Jun Moyan?
Did they really think he, Jun Moyan, was some sort of saint?
"Tell Bai Yi to be more cautious lately, act smart, and don’t let the Baiming Sect exploit any loopholes they shouldn’t," he instructed.
"Understood," Qing Yi acknowledged.
"Third Young Master, it’s getting late. The Jun Family’s evening banquet is about to begin; let’s get ready. I’ll go prepare the car first."
"Hmm," Jun Moyan responded indifferently.
Qing Yi turned and left.
"Meow~" Wen Xiao’ai snapped back to reality.
"What are you thinking about?" Jun Moyan reached out to pinch its ears.
Wen Xiao’ai immediately covered the top of its head with its two little paws in fright.
"Hmm?" Jun Moyan did not retract his hand, showing some displeasure at Wen Xiao’ai’s resistant action.
His intonation rose, radiating an authoritative aura that wasn’t blatantly angry.
Seeing that he looked like he was about to get angry, Wen Xiao’ai was a bit scared but still unwilling to be pinched.
It shook its head with its little ears covered, its deep blue eyes filled with a plea for mercy.
Can we not pinch, please?
Expecting that Jun Moyan would be upset, to his surprise, he only flicked Xiao’ai’s forehead lightly in the end, "Save this move for others in the future."
