Chapter 269 Frustration
Chapter 269 Frustration
Qiu Ziyue stood in the courtyard of Qi Yuxuan's villa. Night was falling and a gentle breeze was blowing.
As she gazed at the distant lights, a sense of responsibility welled up within her.
Since moving into Qi Yuxuan's villa, she has not only taken on the responsibility of taking care of Qi Yuxuan.
I also felt a sense of mission to protect this home.
Lately, she's been feeling uneasy about her surroundings, as if an invisible pressure is hanging over the entire villa.
To ensure everyone's safety, Qiu Ziyue decided to use the Five Elements Shield Technique to set up a powerful barrier around the villa.
Qiu Ziyue returned to her study and looked up information about the Five Elements, since she had some memory loss.
After reading it carefully, she began to prepare five crystal beads of different colors: red, yellow, blue, white, and black.
They represent the five elements: fire, earth, water, metal, and wood.
It also came with some talismans and spices.
She carefully packed the items into a small cloth bag.
He then left the study and went to the central garden of the villa.
This is a relatively open area with concentrated energy, making it ideal for casting spells and setting up barriers.
Qiu Ziyue lit an incense stick in the center of the garden, and the smoke rose and filled the air.
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and began to silently chant the incantation.
Next, she followed the five elements and directions.
Five crystal beads were buried in the five directions of east, south, west, north, and center, and talismans were scattered at each location.
As the last talisman fell, Qiu Ziyue opened her eyes, clasped her hands together, and chanted:
"The five elements generate each other, acting as shields to protect our homeland and keep it safe and sound."
In an instant, a faint light curtain slowly rose from the ground and gradually expanded to cover the entire villa.
The light barrier was inconspicuous, yet it was full of power.
It acts like a transparent barrier, isolating the villa from the outside world and blocking all potential threats.
Qiu Ziyue felt the fluctuations of the barrier and her heart was filled with relief.
She knew that with this layer of protection, everyone's lives would be safer and more secure.
Hearing a noise outside, Li Jinfeng went out of her room to check.
When she saw Qiu Ziyue setting up a barrier, she couldn't help but ask in surprise:
"Yue'er, what are you doing?"
Qiu Ziyue turned around and smiled:
"Mom, it's nothing, I just came out to enjoy the scenery."
As night deepened, Qiu Ziyue finished all her preparations and returned to her room.
She lay in bed, the scenes from the daytime replaying in her mind.
She didn't know why she had forgotten all the people and things from ancient times, yet she could still retain her skills.
Unable to fall asleep for a long time, she got up and gently knocked on Qi Yuxuan's door.
Qi Yuxuan opened the door and, upon seeing Qiu Ziyue, hugged her tightly and wouldn't let go.
“Ziyue, do you remember what happened before?” Qi Yuxuan said.
"What a load of nonsense! The reason I came here is to ask why I still have my old skills but can't remember anything from before."
Qiu Ziyue gently pushed Qi Yuxuan away, muttering to herself.
Seeing that Qiu Ziyue was unhappy, Qi Yuxuan took out his phone and dialed Professor Wilson's number.
Professor Wilson said:
It is possible that the patient's head was hit by a stone or a wooden stake, and the impact hit a nerve ending that happens to be the nerve ending responsible for remembering people and events.
Because the skills she had learned over the past eight or nine years were deeply ingrained in her, she had not forgotten them.
Qi Yuxuan thought about it and realized that it might be true, so he comforted her, "My wife, don't worry, you might remember it in the future."
A night breeze swept by, and Qiu Ziyue felt quite depressed.
After all, it's painful to not be able to remember people and things from the past. She leaned against the window and looked at the moon.
"Twilight Sparkle, how about you and I have a glass of red wine?"
Qi Yuxuan took a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, poured two glasses, and handed one to Qiu Ziyue.
Qiu Ziyue took the cup and said:
"Qi Yuxuan, do you really like drinking?"
“No, I rarely drank before, but since you disappeared, I drink almost every day. I can’t sleep if I don’t drink. I miss you and Jingyun so much. Only when I’m drunk can I stop feeling so much pain,” Qi Yuxuan whispered gently.
"But what if I can't remember the people and things from my past for the rest of my life?" Qiu Ziyue whispered.
“It’s alright, Ziyue, we can start over. I believe that if you could fall for me in ancient times, you will fall in love with me again in modern times,” Qi Yuxuan said confidently.
"I hope so," Qiu Ziyue said.
“What do you mean by this, Ziyue?” Qi Yuxuan said.
"To be honest, since I came to school, Leng Feng was the first savior who came out to protect me. I have a good impression of him, but I don't know if it's love."
Qiu Ziyue confessed.
"Oh, thank goodness I found you in time, otherwise that kid would have snatched it away."
Qi Yuxuan said.
Qiu Ziyue drank a glass of red wine, then went back to her room and gradually fell asleep.
Night fell over Qi Yuxuan's villa, and all was quiet.
Suddenly, a dark figure flashed past outside the wall; it was the figure of Hei Sha.
He lurked in the darkness, his gaze sharp as a knife, his heart filled with malice.
Black Demon leaped lightly over the wall and silently approached the villa's gate.
A cold smile crept across his lips as he prepared to ambush Qi Yuxuan's family under the cover of night.
However, as he approached the gate, an invisible force suddenly emerged, as if a transparent barrier stood before him.
Black Demon felt a resistance and could no longer move forward even half a step.
He frowned and reached out to touch the invisible wall, only to find it incredibly hard, smooth and cold like glass.
Black Fiend was unwilling to give up. He drew the knife from his waist and slashed it forcefully in the air a few times.
The blade made a crisp "crack" sound the moment it touched the barrier.
It was like a knife slicing through glass. The sound only fueled his shock and anger.
Unwilling to accept defeat, Black Demon tried nearly a hundred times in a row, attempting to find a way to break through the barrier.
Every swing of the knife, every charge, was in vain.
No matter how hard he tried, that barrier remained unbreakable.
Gradually, Black Demon felt his strength failing, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and his breathing became rapid.
Unwilling to give up, he pulled out a silenced pistol and fired two shots at the door.
The silenced pistol was equipped with a silencer and only made two soft "poof" sounds.
But what he didn't expect was that after the two bullets were fired, they seemed to hit the spring mechanism and bounced back.
Fortunately, Hei Sha was quick and agile; he was startled and dodged the attack.
"My God, what's going on? Is there a ghost here?" Black Demon exclaimed in surprise.
In the end, he had to admit his defeat and collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.
His eyes were filled with frustration, and he left quickly and helplessly in the end.
Qi Yuxuan, standing by the window, saw all of this.
He watched Hei Sha's every move in silence, a complex emotion welling up inside him.
He knew that it was Qiu Ziyue's Five Elements Shield Barrier that was working, and he couldn't help but feel grateful to her.
Qi Yuxuan understood that this barrier not only protected his family's safety but also gave them peace of mind.
Watching Hei Sha's disheveled departure, Qi Yuxuan's gaze became even more resolute.
He knew full well that the road ahead would not be smooth sailing.
But with Qiu Ziyue and the protective barrier, he believed he had time to outlast Hei Sanye.
The next morning, the sun shone brightly on the earth, and everything returned to calm.
Qi Yuxuan walked to Qiu Ziyue's side, gently took her hand, and said:
"Thank you, the barrier last night was really effective."
Qiu Ziyue smiled and replied:
"As long as everyone is safe, that's all that matters."
Then, Qi Yuxuan pulled up the surveillance footage outside the gate.
The members of the Yu Yue Qing Xuan Feng group analyzed the surveillance footage together.
Although we can't see Black Fiend's facial expression, we can tell that he is very frustrated.
To be continued in the next chapter!
