Ji Zhixu flipped through the pages under the light.
The lamp, shrouded in lace, gave off a light bright enough, but not dazzling, to illuminate a number of books and parchments on the table, a thin vase with daisies in it, an inkwell with a quill on it, a copper incense box set with jewels, and a pair of spectacles.
It was very quiet all around. Only the rustling of the pages could be heard.
Of course, with her current hearing, she could easily hear the breathing and heartbeat of the two servants who were cleaning the room downstairs. However, there was no need to expand her hearing to such an extent. It was also a form of torture.
Due to her increasing strength, her control over her body had reached the peak of perfection.
If she wanted to, she could even control the contraction of any pores on her skin.
Most importantly, she was finally about to completely tame the beast formed by the blood in her body.
As long as she could do this, she would enter the Annihilation Grade soon.
"Phew …"
Ji Zhixu took a deep breath and closed the book, suppressing her excitement.
The incense box on the solid wood table emitted the scent of mint, rosemary, and lemon. It entered her nostrils in an instant, making her feel refreshed. The first website was m.9biquge. com
Blood and Beasts was far from as simple as controlling the tainted blood in her body.
The more she studied it, the more she realized how deep and terrifying the mystery was.
Blood and beasts … were actually "spirit" and "flesh."
Blood and soul were the currency of life. When they flowed in the body, the aether was exchanged.
Controlling the blood in the body was only the first step.
How to use the blood to make the beast her power was the real way to become stronger.
Now, she could only control the amount of blood that was injected into her body.
If she could absorb more tainted blood from different types of dream beasts, what kind of terrifying power would she get?
The power a hunter could have was definitely not limited to what she had now!
The right to speak came from power.
Now, they could have the right to talk to the Truth Society, the Secret Rites Tower, and the church as equals.
However, she alone was definitely not enough. She needed more companions.
Previously, she had been secretly practicing and had not taught this method to others. Because it was her first time, she could not be sure if she would make a mistake.
Once the tainted blood went out of control, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Therefore, he had to be cautious.
However, things were different now. She had personally tested this method of controlling blood and had proven that it was indeed safe, reliable, and effective.
She could start promoting it.
Ji Zhixu reached out and stroked the cover of the book, her heart becoming more and more determined.
This would be a gospel for the hunters, and Mr. Lin, who brought the gospel, would be the guide for the hunters in the future.
Knock, knock, knock.
There was a knock on the door.
"Miss, it's time for dinner."
"Got it."
Ji Zhixu had expected this. She calmly stood up from the desk, pushed the chair away, and hid the book in the secret compartment of the desk.
She was wearing a simple T-shirt and skinny jeans. With her short hair that reached her ears, she looked very neat.
Of course, even if she was at home, she still had a dagger strapped to her back in her usual attire. Her loose T-shirt was a great concealment technique.
Although her current physical strength had completely surpassed these metal products, it was a good habit to be vigilant at all times.
Ji Zhixu turned to open the door and followed the servant to the dining room.
Halfway there, she suddenly stopped and looked at the middle-aged man standing at the door.
"Father."
Ji Zhixu paused and calmly said, "What's the matter?"
The middle-aged man standing by the door was Ji Bonong, the person in charge of the Luo Er Resources Development Company.
He had a pair of iron-gray eyes like Ji Zhixu's. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked like an inorganic coldness. He wore a black suit, and a black vest and white shirt could be seen from the open jacket.
The servant who led the way left on her own accord.
"Can't I have a heart-to-heart talk with you if I don't have anything to say?"
Ji Bonong turned and walked into the dining room as he said casually.
Ji Zhixu smiled and said, "You never come back for dinner, and you never let anyone remind me of dinner time. I can't think of any other reason other than that you have something to say to me."
Ji Bonong choked and sat down. Then, he silently pulled out a chair and sat down, saying, "Is it that obvious?"
Ji Zhixu also walked over and sat down. She said matter-of-factly, "It's that obvious."
Although she had already heard Ji Bonong's instructions, she could still easily guess her father's thoughts even if he hadn't.
After all, he was busy with his career all year round and wasn't at home for 364 out of 365 days. He suddenly came back and specially asked her to come down for dinner — she had already instructed the servant not to disturb him.
And it just so happened that he came at this time. No matter how she thought about it, it was impossible that he was here just to catch up.
Ji Bonong sighed and his gaze fell on his daughter's face. Because they didn't interact much all year round, his impression of her as a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl was suddenly broken. It made him feel a little uncomfortable.
He couldn't help but sigh and say, "You've grown up."
Ji Zhixu asked, "You're not really going to have a heart-to-heart talk, are you?"
Ji Bonong smiled and continued, "There are some things that you can decide on your own, but as your father, I want to give you some advice."
"…" Ji Zhixu was silent for a moment. Then she said, "Go ahead."
"In the past, I didn't ask what you were doing, because whether it was the White Wolf or the other Hunter's Organizations, they were just pawns in a sandbox. I sent Kai Yi and Ma Kesi to you, and that's more or less enough. But now, it's different."
Ji Bonong tapped the table with his index finger. Behind his glasses, he 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 Rohr Resources. Do you understand?"
"I understand."
Ji Bonong didn't expect her to answer so straightforwardly. He paused and then continued, "Do you understand? If you do, you shouldn't be so reckless! "
"I really understand."
Ji Zhixu raised her head and said, "That's why I'm here to talk to you now. You saw the proposal in my diary, right? That's why you want to persuade me. "
She curled her lips and said, "I wrote that on purpose."
"…"
Ji Bonong's expression changed. This time, he was completely surprised.
He looked at Ji Zhixu and pointed at himself. He said, "You wrote that proposal on purpose, and then deliberately let the people I sent to you find it. Just to make me come back?"
"Yes." Ji Zhixu leaned against the back of the chair. She crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows. She said, "Of course the plan is in my head. Who would write it down for others to see? Are you an idiot?"
Ji Bonong looked at his daughter speechlessly. After a while, he sighed and said, "It seems that you have really grown up, but I still treat you like a child."
Ji Zhixu smiled and said, "If you didn't treat me like a child, how could I lie to you?"
"If that's the case, you seem to be very confident in persuading me." Ji Bonong's gaze was deep. "Tell me, what is your bargaining chip?"
Ji Zhixu and her father looked at each other. She said in surprise, "Didn't you already send someone to my room to get it?"
"Wh … How did you know?"
She imitated the bookstore owner's appearance. She folded her hands under her chin and looked at her father's expression as if he had seen a ghost. She smiled happily.
In the void where others couldn't see, the octopus-like spiritual tentacles stretched out densely in all directions, grasping the situation in the entire house clearly.
Ji Zhixu took out the real "Blood and Beasts" from the "cracked" flesh on her back and waved it in her hand. "'This' is my bargaining chip."
