Seeing the serious look on Ye Qian's face, the two ladies felt wary.
They had seen Ye Qian being angry, but being so much serious was something that even Yuan Meng had seen for the first time from the time he had returned back.
'Could there be something really that bad, that feeling that I was being watched by cold eyes that day made me terrified and I almost ran as quickly as possible that day.'
Yuan Meng breathed a mouthful of cold air as she stared at Ye Qian's serious face.
After a moment, Ye Qian nodded and then turned to Yuan Meng and muttered something to himself before giving a light nod.
For the first time, it could be said that Yuan Meng didn't understand what Ye Qian was thinking.
"Alright, let's have dinner now, there is nothing that you can do about it, I will check it myself."
Ye Qian turned to Xiao Ya and said while his eyes continued to say something else.
No matter if he had told her anything about it or not, Yuan Meng was able to see the worry and tautness on Ye Qian's face.
She was clear that this thing was making him too much worried.
"Hmm."
Xiao Ya nodded and then walked out of the kitchen while nodding at the two ladies.
Ning Wei also followed while picking a few plates knowing that right now she should not be there.
"Qian'er, do you want to talk about it."
Yuan Meng pursed her lips.
She knew that given right now, it was only her with whom Ye Qian could talk about anything that would be related to such things, although it would also be new to her since she was clear that whatever Ye Qian had told her was nothing but a drop of water in a well and there was just too much for her to know.
But right now, she was the only person with whom he could open up about all of her worries.
"Mengmeng, that creature or whatever it is, it was close to your High School and killed so many animals, I read in the news that many such incidents of animals being killed were happening in the various outskirts of the city."
"So you are worried that it will harm us?"
Yuan Meng nodded, she had heard from Ning Wei about what was the condition of the corpses that were found near their schools and she could only think of one word after hearing Ning Wei recall the scenes.
"HORRIFYING!"
"No, that is not just it, from its presence, I doubt that it will harm just for no reason."
Ye Qian shook his head.
Of the reason why he was worried about was not that the creature would harm his family because he was aware of what it might be here for.
"You mean that there is something that it is here for?"
Yuan Meng's eyes turned wide as she thought fo something.
Among most of the people in the city, Ye Qian was sure that anyone would surpass the cultivation of Yuan Meng.
And if the creature was something which was affected by Corpse Qi, then the reason for it to come here was not just because it wanted to eat, it was because there were many places which would have rich Spiritual Qi and those animals staying there would also have the same.
When Ye Qian went to Yuan Meng's school that day, he was able to faintly sense a dense Spiritual Qi from within the school and doubted that there would be something within the ground of the school which released so much Spiritual Qi.
And the reason why the creature went to that place was also due to this reason.
But
even if it would want Spiritual Qi, it would still need food, and that was the reason why it had killed so many animals.
And it was obvious that the animals close to such Spiritual Qi sources would have more Spiritual Qi in their bodies.
But that was not the same in Yuan Meng's condition.
It was because she was like a real-life Spiritual Qi magnet which would attract the Spiritual Qi around her.
And since the creature which might be affected due to corpse Qi was after Spiritual Qi, then it was not hard for it to sense this at all.
Hearing Ye Qian's words, Yuan Meng's face lost all of its colours.
She didn't know her peculiar condition and nor had Ye Qian told her about it.
All she knew was that for the last few days she had been feeling a massive growth of strength in her body with every single moment.
Of course, her speculation was that Ye Qian had helped her do so.
But one had to know that all of this Spiritual Qi was just being stored and slowly absorbed in her body, and she didn't know of any cultivating technique which would dismiss the presence of Spiritual Qi around her.
But that was also the reason why the creature had gotten its attention on her.
Ye Qian regretted not giving a cultivation method to Yuan Meng all this long even after knowing that she had already reached the point.
But he also knew that the reason for this decision of his was that he wanted to help her strengthen her body before trying to cultivate it in any way.
"Although this is just a speculation of mine, but that is the only reason that I can think of right now."
Ye Qian rubbed his brows.
Since he cultivated, the Spiritual Qi was clearly hidden within his body having the least chance of getting out and forming a layer around him.
"Qian'er, it's alright, now we know that it might be after me, then we can think of something."
Yuan Meng consoled Ye Qian.
It would be a lie to say that she was not afraid at all.
But she also knew that right now, if she didn't take Ye Qian out of this, then he would only worry about her and that will only make his thoughts to make a big mess.
