"The Endpoint" 018. (The Mugi Family Arc) Werewolf

The round moon in the sky remained as bright and clear as water. Qingyan laughed and spoke lightly, but an inexplicable emotion quietly crept into Qingyan's heart and began to take root and sprout.

"Tear..."

Suddenly, without any warning, a tingling sensation appeared on Qingyan's body. It felt as if it came from deep within the bones, a burning sensation that gradually intensified.

"Not good!"

This uncomfortable feeling didn't even last for half a second before Qingyan suddenly realized what was happening. The face that had been full of smiles a moment ago instantly turned into a nearly dark, iron-like shade.

Catching sight of the round moon in mid-air, a deep hatred rose up in Qingyan's heart in an instant, a hatred that penetrated to the bone!

The burning sensation in the body continued to intensify, and Qingyan's face grew increasingly unpleasant. There was no time to consider Du Gu Xiaoxuan nearby; with one push of the right hand against the eaves, Qingyan attempted to flip and land on the ground. Unexpectedly, the strength in the hand suddenly seemed to be drained, and the body lost balance, crashing heavily to the ground!

Hearing the heavy thud, Du Gu Xiaoxuan finally reacted, screaming in alarm and hurriedly looking down. But she saw nothing; suddenly, a heavy door slammed shut with a loud bang.

When she landed, Du Gu Xiaoxuan looked at the wooden door that was softly groaning. Her pretty brows furrowed tightly.

"Qingyan, what's wrong with you?"

She knocked on the door, worry evident in her loud question.

There was no answer, but chaos of noises sounded from inside, occasionally interspersed with Qingyan's pained groans. In this quiet night, it felt deeply unsettling. After quite some time, everything suddenly fell silent; every sound in the room disappeared in an instant. The silence was so eerie that unease quickly crept onto her brow.

Standing at the door, Du Gu Xiaoxuan's brows were almost fused together in a deep frown, profound unease lingering in her heart.

"Ah..."

Suddenly, a heavy groan from Qingyan came from inside. Despite deliberate attempts to conceal it, it was not hard to hear that this sound contained agony that ran deep to the bone!Almost without hesitation, Du Gu Xiaoxuan quickly pushed open the door in front of her that hadn't even had a chance to be locked yet and walked in.\ Inside, the house was in quite a mess. The heavy wooden table had been forcefully overturned, and the teacups and teapot on it were shattered into pieces on the floor. A nearby chair even had one of its legs violently broken. The cloth curtains hanging from the eaves had been torn to shreds by something sharp, and some corners were ripped into strips, dragging on the floor. The most serious damage was a mirror hanging on one side of the corner; deep cracks, like a spider web, spread outward from the center to the edges of the mirror. Some fragments had already fallen, revealing the pale white wall behind. At the center of the shattered area, a bright blood-red stain spread over a large area.\ Du Gu Xiaoxuan's unease intensified. She turned her gaze to the bed in the corner of the room. In the corner of the bed, something, wrapped in a large quilt, completely hidden in form, was continuously trembling.\ "Qing Yan, is that you?"\ She asked tentatively, lightly stepping forward and standing by the side of the bed, suddenly feeling a very strange and terrifying sensation.\ "Don't come closer! Get out!"\ Suddenly, Qing Yan's voice came from beneath the quilt. But this voice was hoarse and harsh, without a hint of warmth. The tearing, sharp voice was like ice, cold to the bone.\ Du Gu Xiaoxuan's expression changed drastically, and she was startled, stumbling back a large step. However, after taking a deep breath, as if making a decision, she stepped forward cautiously again and asked, "Q-Qing Yan, what… what exactly happened to you?"\ "Du Gu Xiaoxuan, what's your problem? Didn't you hear me tell you to get out? Get out immediately!"\ Almost without waiting for Du Gu Xiaoxuan to finish speaking, Qing Yan angrily shot back. There was not an ounce of politeness in the tone, a heavy order for her to leave, barked out in intense fury.\ This time, Du Gu Xiaoxuan directly turned pale and took several large steps back, bumping into something and falling down onto the only chair remaining upright in the living room, sitting down heavily.

"You... you... boo hoo..."

Inside Dugu Xiaoxuan, her heart was completely thrown into chaos, terrified by Qingyan's cold and vicious words. After a long pause, a hint of determination appeared in her eyes. She took a step, then suddenly, with tears streaming down her face, ran out of the door crying loudly.

Although most of the tears were from fright, Dugu Xiaoxuan couldn't understand why her heart inexplicably felt a little painful. Clearly, the two of them had known each other for less than two hours, right?

"Hoo..."

The night wind, carrying coldness, swept in. A rotation, followed by a “creak,” gently closed the door.

"Uh..."

Qingyan's voice strangely became quite hoarse. Suddenly, a faint “crackling” sound came from the bed. This sound sent chills down the spine.

After several minutes, a tall figure stretched out from under the blanket. No, it should be said that the blanket could no longer cover this figure, which was rapidly growing larger.

The figure finally stopped growing, reaching about two meters in height. Covered in silvery-white fur, it bristled like barbs in the waves of its emotions. Its broad back bulged heavily, causing its body to lean forward like a predatory beast. Its claws were sharp enough to glint cold light, with torn cloth clinging to them. Its head had pointed, sharp fangs gleaming; a pair of blood-red beastly eyes exuded fierce, wild energy.

It was a giant wolf, no, it should be said that this was a complete, thorough werewolf!

Because from its mouth came a continuous murmuring of a sentence, dragging a nasal tone and very hoarse.

"Xiaoxuan, I'm sorry, I can't let you see this side of me that even I cannot accept."
