Chapter 1038 Caught


    Crystal''s POV:


    The crows dove one after another, painting the ground red


    Still, there were countless crows hovering in the sky. The smell of the blood-soaked soil made me want to vomit.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    I covered my nose and tried to breathe through my mouth, but the uneasiness in my heart kept growing. The crows'' behavior was too abnormal. It


    was almost as if they were holding an ancient sacrificial ritual.


    I slowly walked forward and tried stomping on the ground. It was very solid and there was no sign of the dirt being loosened. Noreen''s body was


    buried deep, so there shouldn''t have been any problems.


    But why would such a strange phenomenon happen?


    I looked around to see if there was anything unusual around. Other than the crows, everything seemed normal.


    Soon, the living crows'' numbers dwindled, leaving only a dozen of them in the sky.


    I waited until thest one fell to the ground and then used witchcraft to clean up the blood stains on the ground.


    To err on the side of caution, I put another seal on thend and concealed the aura there.


    Rin had sent her pups back to the cave first. Then she followed me to Noreen’s burial ce and looked around vigntly, like a reliable bodyguard


    After dealing with the blood, I told Rin, “If anything goes wrong here again, go straight to the imperial pce and find me. I''ll be staying here for a


    while.” Hearing this, Rin was so happy that she licked my cheek excitedly.


    I didn''t know whether to cry or tough. “You''re that happy, huh?”


    Rin''s tail wagged from side to side. Panting, her tongue stuck out of her mouth, as though to say yes, she was very happy.


    My heart softened. I rubbed her head and said, "And if you want to see me, don''t hesitate toe to me. But you have to be careful and not let


    anyone see you.”


    Rin whined and put her paw on my shoulder to show that she understood.


    I smiled and shook her paw. "I should go now. It’s getting dark.”


    Rin pressed her muzzle against my cheek, whining slightly.


    I threw my arms around her big fluffy neck andforted her, “See you next time. I miss you already.”


    Reluctantly, Rin escorted me to the edge of the forest.


    I stopped and.waved her goodbye.


    “Alright. Go back to your children.


    Don''t worrysWe ll meet again soon.”


    Rin tiltedher nead and looked at me


    fora long time. Finally, she walked


    up tovptess her forehead against my


    hand as though to say goodbye.


    Then she turned around and bolted


    back into the depths of the forest.


    I stood there and watched until Rin disappeared from sight. Then I went on my way.


    I had a hunch that we''d would meet again scon.


    With mixed feelings, I made my way out of the forbidden forest. It was already night time, and it had begun to snow.
