Ji Zhixu flipped through the pages under the light.
The lamp, shrouded in a veil of lace, gave off a light that was bright enough but not harsh enough to illuminate the many books and parchments on the table, a thin vase with daisies, an inkwell with a quill, a copper A jewel-encrusted aromatherapy box and a pair of glasses.
It was quiet all around, except for the rustling of her flipping pages.
Of course, with her current hearing, she could easily hear the breathing and heartbeat of the two servants downstairs who were cleaning the house, but there was no need to expand her hearing to such a degree, and it was also torture.
Because of her stronger and stronger strength, her control over her whole body has approached a pinnacle.
She can even control the shrinkage of any pore on her skin if she wants to.
And the most important point is that she is finally about to completely tame the blood-turned beast in her body.
As long as she can do a little bit, she will enter the destruction level just around the corner.
"Huh..."
Ji Zhixu took a deep breath, closed the book, and suppressed his excitement.
The scent of mint, rosemary and lemon emanating from the incense box on the solid wood table topped her nose instantly and refreshed her.
"Blood and the Beast" is far more than simply controlling the filthy blood within oneself.
The more she studies, the more she discovers that the mystery is so deep and terrifying.
Blood and beasts... are actually "spirit" and "flesh".
Blood and soul, the currency of life, and when they exchange and flow in the body, the ether is then redeemed.
Taking control of the blood in your body is only the first step.
How to use blood to make the beast turn into his own power is the real way to become stronger.
Now, she is only in control of the amount of blood injected into her body.
If you can draw more, even the filthy blood of other different kinds of dream beasts, what kind of terrifying power will you get...
The power a hunter can possess is not limited to the present!
The source of the right to speak is power.
Now, they can have an equal right to dialogue with the Truth Society, the Mystic Tower, and the Church.
It's definitely not enough for her alone, she needs more and more companions.
A while ago, she had been practicing secretly, and did not teach this method to other people, because it was the first time she came into contact with it, and she was not sure if it was wrong.
Once the power of filthy blood goes out of control, the consequences are unimaginable.
So be careful.
But it is different now. She has personally practiced this method of controlling blood, and has confirmed that it is indeed safe, reliable and effective.
She can start promoting.
Ji Zhixu reached out and stroked the book cover, his heart became more and more determined.
This will be the Gospel of the hunters, and Mr. Lin, who brought the gospel, is the guide for the hunters to follow.
"Knock knock knock."
There was a knock on the door.
"Miss, it's dinner time."
"understood."
Ji Zhixu had expected it, and stood up indifferently from the desk, pushed the chair away, and hid the book in the secret compartment inside the desk.
At this time, she was wearing a simple T-shirt and skinny jeans, with short ear-length hair, looking very neat.
Of course, even at home, under this everyday outfit, a dagger was tied to her straight back, and the loose T-shirt covered it up with excellent effect.
Although her physical strength has completely surpassed these metal products, it is a good habit to be vigilant at all times.
Ji Orio turned around to open the door, and was led by the servant to the restaurant.
Halfway through, she suddenly stopped in her footsteps and looked at the middle-aged man standing at the door.
"Father."
Ji Zhixu paused and said calmly, "Is there something wrong?"
The middle-aged man standing by the door was Ji Bonong, the head of the Rolle Resource Development Company.
He has the same iron-grey eyes as Ji Zhixu's, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, he looks like an inorganic coldness, wearing a black suit, the black vest and white shirt can be seen inside the open jacket.
The servant who led the way consciously stepped back and left.
"Can't I talk to you if I have nothing to do?"
Ji Bonong said casually as he turned and walked into the restaurant.
Ji Zhixu smiled and said, "You never come back for dinner, and you don't let me specifically remind me of dinner time. I can't think of any other reason except for something to tell me."
Ji Bonong choked, took a moment to sit in the seat, then silently pulled out the chair and sat down, saying, "So obvious?"
Ji Zhixu also walked over to take a seat, and said as a matter of course: "It's so obvious."
Although she had already heard Ji Bonong's orders, even if she hadn't, she could still easily guess her father's thoughts.
After all, a person who was busy with her career all the year round and was away from home for 364 days out of 365 suddenly came back, and even asked her to come down to eat—she had usually told the servants not to disturb her.
And it's just at this point in time, no matter how you think about it, it's impossible to specifically reminisce about the old days.
Ji Bonong sighed, and his eyes fell on his daughter's face. Because he didn't get along very well all the year round, his impression of staying as a girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old was suddenly broken, which made him a little uncomfortable.
He couldn't help sighing: "You have grown up."
Ji Zhixu asked, "You don't really plan to talk, do you?"
Ji Bonong smiled and continued: "There are some things you can decide for yourself, but as a father, I always want to give you some advice."
"..." Ji Zhixu was silent for a while, and said, "You say it."
"Before, I didn't ask what you did, because whether it was the White Wolf or other hunter organizations, it was just a game of war played by people in the sandbox. I sent Kai and Max to you, and it was almost enough. , but now, it's different."
Ji Bonong pointed at the dining table with his index finger, and the eyes behind his glasses looked at Ji Zhixu.
"If you really want to get involved, then when you stand in front of everyone, you will represent the position of Rolle Resources, understand?"
"I see."
Ji Bonong didn't expect the answer to be so straightforward, so he slowed down, and then continued: "You understand? If you understand, you shouldn't be so reckless!"
"I really understand."
Ji Zhixu raised his head and said, "That's why I'm here to talk to you now—you saw the plan in my diary, right? That's why I wanted to persuade me."
She raised the corner of her mouth: "I wrote that on purpose."
"… "
Ji Bonong's eyes changed, and this was a complete surprise.
He looked at Ji Zhixu, pointed to himself, and said, "You wrote that plan on purpose, and then deliberately let the people I sent to you find out, just to get me back?"
"Yeah." Ji Zhixu leaned against the back of the chair, raised his eyebrows with his arms folded over his chest, and said, "Of course the plan is in his head, who would write it down for others to read, fool?"
Ji Bonong looked at his daughter speechlessly. After a long while, he sighed: "It seems that you have really grown up, but I still treat you as a child."
Ji Zhixu smiled and said, "If you didn't treat me like a child, how could I deceive you."
"In this case, you seem to be very sure to convince me." Ji Bonong's eyes were deep: "Tell me, what are your chips?"
Ji Zhixu and his father looked at each other and said in surprise, "Didn't you already send someone to get it from my room?"
"Wh... how did you know?"
She imitated the owner of the bookstore, folded her hands under her chin, looked at her father's ghostly expression, and showed a happy smile.
In the void that others can't see, the tentacles of the octopus-like spirit are densely extended around, and the situation in the entire house is clearly grasped.
Ji Zhixu took out the real "Blood and Beast" from the flesh and blood behind the "split", and shook it in his hand: "'This' is my bargaining chip."
