The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

Chapter 167 Giant's Eye

Mo Ya's guilty look was obvious.

Jiang Liujing didn't expose him and said, "Let's go."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yiser flew in from outside the door and landed on Jiang Liujing's shoulder.

There were some snowflakes on its feathers, and it was obvious that it had left its owner and was wandering around happily.

Jiang Liujing stroked the bird's head. Yisel had changed significantly over the past three months, from its unsightly gray, short downy appearance when it first hatched to a much more lush feathered appearance. It was also a voracious eater, capable of consuming food more than ten times its own size in a single meal. It was unknown how it managed to fit it into its stomach.

But all the food was not in vain—Isserl now felt like a plump, solid bird. Standing on Jiang Liujing's shoulders, it felt heavy and substantial.

Jiang Liujing was thinking that it was time to put the weight loss plan for Israel on the agenda, when Wen Xun's voice came from upstairs at the same time.

"Don't leave yet, wait until we're together."

Not long after, he and Chu Zhou appeared at the corner of the stairs, walking down one after the other.

Jiang Liujing looked up as usual when he heard the noise, and then he was stunned.

what is this?

Thick coats, thick scarves, thick hats, layer upon layer, she was wrapped up more tightly than any old lady in the village.

Mo Ya laughed out loud at Wen Xun's bear-like outfit.

"It's just a little snow, so why are you dressed like this? Didn't you just yell that you wanted to get out right away?"

Wen Xun was suffocating because of the scarf that was tightly wrapped around his neck. He tried to pull it out along the gap but failed. He didn't know where Chu Zhou got so much strength to tie the knot. Maybe he really wanted to strangle himself to death.

He said unhappily, "Do you think I'm doing this voluntarily?"

He had just finished taking a shower and walked out of the bathroom when it was snowing. He was about to put on some clothes and go downstairs when he was arrested by Chu Zhou who was passing by.

With a feather token of authority from his stepmother, Chu Zhou lectured him daily like a father would a son, scolding him on the spot and throwing several pieces of clothing at him. Wen Xun initially ignored him, but Chu Zhou even threatened to tell his parents, cut off his living expenses, and freeze his personal savings.

Wen Xun felt that there was no one in the world more annoying than Chu Zhou.

Chu Zhouchi walked over and just happened to hear his words. His face was as cold as ice: "Yes, if you don't want to, take off all your clothes now and go outside in the snow to play with your dick."

"You are a noble after all, can you please not speak so vulgarly?" Wen Xun frowned.

"There's nothing I can do. Dogs can't understand human language, so I can only force myself to speak dog language."

……

Familiar local battle inside the dormitory.

Mo Ya and Jiang Liujing stood there for three minutes before they finished arguing. Mo Ya said silently, "Why don't you two continue arguing while we go first."

According to experience, if they can't reach a conclusion in their argument, they should resort to violence.

Mo Ya didn't want to suffer any unnecessary disaster.

He tugged at Jiang Liujing, but failed to move him the first time.

He turned his head with some confusion, only to see Jiang Liujing's gaze fixed on Chu Zhou. To be more precise, on the marking on a piece of clothing he was wearing.

"Is this your family crest?"

Jiang Liujing suddenly asked.

Chu Zhou didn't realize at first that the question was directed at him, until Jiang Liujing completed the address with his full name, "Chu Zhou."

Chu Zhou and Wen Xun paused in their competitive actions.

Chu Zhou turned around and saw Jiang Liujing's serious eyes. His roommate seemed to want to know the answer to this question.

He then looked down at his clothes again.

There is indeed a subtle pattern on the chest of this dress, which almost blends in with the pattern of the fabric itself.

"Giant's Eye, this shouldn't be yours, right? Isn't yours the two-winged Pegasus?" Wen Xun said.

Chu Zhou shook his head: "It's my mother's family."

He looked at Jiang Liujing with some doubts, "What's wrong? What's wrong with this family emblem?"

Jiang Liujing didn't know if he was overthinking it, but the moment he saw the eye-shaped pattern, he suddenly recalled a small detail that his grandfather had mentioned.

When Xing Yue was taken from his family to the blood sacrifice cabin, he saw an eye-shaped pattern on the hand of the man who was in charge of them. He later investigated for a while but found no clues.

Jiang Liujing couldn't be sure if what he saw was the same as what Xing Yue had described. Furthermore, Chu Zhou and Wen Xun had said they were from Dongli. Dongli was located at the easternmost tip of the continent, far from the Yueying Principality to the north, so there was really no need to interfere with Yueying Principality.

"Nothing." He finally said slowly, as if casually asking Chu Zhou, "Family crests usually represent the family's story, right? What does this eye mean?"

Chu Zhou was completely unaware and just thought that Jiang Liujing was curious about something unfamiliar. Besides, it was not a secret.

"This actually comes from a piece of history passed down by my mother's clan. It's said that in ancient times there was a mythical beast called a Cyclops. When it stood upright, it was as tall as a mountain. Before the arrival of the God of Law, many people regarded it as a true god. But then the God of Law appeared, so everyone regarded it as a powerful mythical beast again."

"My mother's family has an eye that's said to belong to a Cyclops. I haven't seen it, but I don't think it's real. After all, how could the eye of a mythical beast survive thousands of years without being destroyed?"

Chu Zhou found it unbelievable just thinking about it.

It's difficult to preserve the bodies of psychic beasts after their death. Their fur, bones, and blood are extremely useful to both other psychic beasts and humans. However, even if they die of natural causes and aren't disassembled and used, their bodies won't last long. The remaining magical elements will naturally decompose their bodies.

No matter how powerful the Cyclops was when he was alive, it is impossible for him to leave behind an eye that has not been worn out for thousands of years, right?

If it could really do this, how ridiculously powerful would it have to be? How could it disappear from later generations, with no trace left except the legends passed down from generation to generation in their family?

"...But no matter what, this is the origin of the family emblem. The ancestors of my mother's family believed that the Cyclops was an alternative kind of 'god', and it was a very prestigious thing to be able to collect the eyes of the 'god' as a trophy." Chu Zhou said.

Wen Xun sneered, and said with a hint of disdain: "If you, the direct descendants, won't even show it to me, I guess it would have rotted away long ago."

This sentence was very offensive, but Chu Zhou did not get angry after hearing him say it. He just calmly reminded him: "Don't say these words in front of my mother."

"I understand. Chu Zhou, a good student, a filial son, and a little treasure in his mother's eyes."

Wen Xun shrugged lazily.

He thought that the fight with Chu Zhou was unlikely to succeed, and he was too lazy to stay with him any longer. Passing by, he grabbed Jiang Liujing and dragged him towards the door, "Let's go have a snowball fight."

Jiang Liujing was asking Chi whether there was any memory of the Cyclops in his memory. Just as he got a positive answer, he was pulled by Wen Xun and staggered. He looked up at him speechlessly.

Wen Xun has grown up without being beaten to death. The people around him must be very kind-hearted.

"I'm on my way back. I'll talk to him when I get there." Chi said lightly.
