Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 358 - 352: Qiao Xixi Got Taller

The owner of those eyes happened to see her as well.

Josh only felt for a moment that all the blood in her body instantly froze, the killing intent rushing at her like a tangible force gripping her throat, rendering her unable to breathe.

The breeze lifted the gauze curtain of the carriage.

Josh saw the upper half of the person’s face.

Her entire body stiffened, her pupils contracting sharply.

A sudden illusory scene appeared before her eyes, her body suspended in golden Divine Light, about to be torn to pieces in an instant.

"Josh... Josh!" Yuze’s voice came from beside her.

Josh’s vision suddenly went black, and she came back to her senses.

It was Yuze who covered her eyes and forcibly pulled her back, closing the curtain.

Josh’s heart still lingered with the despair of arrows piercing her heart, death descending upon her, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

Yuze slightly frowned, "I forgot to tell you, without the god’s permission, you must not easily make eye contact with a god, or you will easily be dragged into an Illusion Realm and lose your mind. Did you just see the god’s eyes?"

Josh, still shaken, touched her still-beating heart and nodded with a pale face, "Do you get this feeling just by making eye contact with a god?"

Yuze nodded.

Josh felt a little uncomfortable, unable to describe the feeling, but somehow there was an inexplicable illusion of being targeted.

As if countless eyes were lurking in every dark corner, blinking at her, full of killing intent.

Seeing her face looking off, Yuze slightly frowned, "What’s wrong? Where are you uncomfortable?"

Josh shook her head, "I want to go back to rest first..."

Yuze pursed his lips, "It’s inconvenient in the castle, let’s just sleep here tonight, there are two rooms upstairs, pick whichever one you like."

Josh nodded, turned, and went upstairs.

She needed to meditate and train; only by filling her entire body with Spiritual Power would that hollow feeling of fear dissipate.

On the first day of the new year, when Josh opened her eyes to see a strange room, she was still a bit dazed, and memories of last night flooded back into her mind.

She remembered those golden eyes and the substantial killing intent they conveyed, the suffocating feeling when it fell on her was still vivid in her mind.

The Smart Brain received a bunch of blessings.

She handed it over to the system, mechanically replying back.

When she came out after washing up, Yuze was already waiting downstairs.

"Let’s go," Yuze stood up when he saw her coming down the stairs. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Josh was puzzled, "Where to?"

Yuze chuckled, "Of course, to eat."

They returned to the castle, Catherine and Collins were also up, seeming not quite awake, clinging to one another.

Yuze cleared his throat, reminding them to be mindful of their image.

Collins cast a displeased glance over, "Yuze, when are you going back to the base?"

Yuze put on a fake smile, "Dad, today is only the first day of the new year."

Collins: "Oh."

Sounding somewhat regretful.

With kids around, the rare couple’s world was once again disrupted.

Yuze couldn’t be bothered to complain about them anymore, taking Josh out for breakfast and then a stroll.

The happy times of the new year always seemed especially short.

Aside from the first day, when Josh went out with Yuze, she mostly locked herself in her room for the following days, taking the opportunity to train.

The Spiritual Energy on Layena Star was extraordinarily abundant, and her body seemed like it had been unsealed, absorbing Spiritual Power exceptionally quickly.

After several days of seclusion, Josh noticed the faint traces left by the Mermaid King’s Divine Power near the veins close to her heart.

The small gap in her heart seemed to have shrunk significantly as well.

Suppressing her thoughts, she continued her secluded training on Layena Star for over ten days before setting off with Yuze to return to the Mysterious Guild Base in Burn City.

Before leaving, Catherine and Collins stuffed her with plenty of gifts and snacks, along with money and jewelry, as if afraid she wouldn’t have enough to spend.

Josh couldn’t help but laugh and cry; their enthusiasm was impossible to refuse.

Yuze watched with a black face as his Mighty General was completely filled up, and not a single item was for him.

Catherine cheerfully patted his shoulder, reminding him, "Take good care of Josh, and bring her back to play during the holidays."

Yuze nodded with a dark face, "Got it."

They boarded the ship, and Mighty General soared away.

Josh and Er Niu poked their heads out together, waving down at Catherine and Collins.

She truly liked Yuze’s family.

Originally, she thought that since Yuze’s family was so prominent, the atmosphere at home must be very strict, but she didn’t expect it to be so relaxed and lively.

She couldn’t help but feel a little envious.

But upon returning to the base, that feeling was instantly washed away.

On the first day back at the base, Ma Qi organized everyone to run 12 laps of a marathon.

Josh naturally had to join in, doing her best.

But to her surprise, it wasn’t until after running 10 laps that her heart began to faintly ache.

The defect near her heart seemed to have much less impact on her body.

Ma Qi nodded in satisfaction and then asked Yuze to take her for a physical examination.

Josh stood on the scanning platform, and the lady doctor appeared surprised upon seeing her, "Josh?"

Josh nodded.

The lady doctor adjusted her glasses, her eyes revealing a look of amazement, "Kid, you’ve grown so fast!"

When the scanning data came out, Yuze leaned over to take a look, a smile crossing his eyes.

Josh was a bit nervous, "How is it?"

Yuze laughed, "Congratulations, you’re 162 cm tall, you really did grow~ No wonder I worked so hard to nurture you every day."

Josh’s eyes lit up, "Really?!"

She rushed to the data screen and indeed saw her own figures.

Height: 162 cm (still growing).

She excitedly patted Yuze’s arm, "See! I’m 162 cm, and I’m still growing!! I’ll grow more!"

Yuze was amused by her rare childishness, chuckling and nodding, "I see, I see, saw it with both eyes, our child has indeed grown a lot taller since she first arrived."

His dark, deep gaze settled on her face.

Her facial features had matured some, her eyes larger, her gaze moist and bright, even her downturned eyelids more gracefully defined, and her lower lashes thick.

Her nose was full and slightly upturned, and her lips petal-like, full with an air of innocence.

Her hair had grown too, thick and plush, with a soft sheen, resembling a fluffy little Shih Tzu when not properly combed.

She had grown from below his chest to above his chest.

Her neck, though, was particularly pale and slender, her limbs thin, her stature stretching regularly, like a delicately crafted, expensive BJD doll displayed in a shop window.

Josh looked up at him and smiled, "Thanks, Captain! It’s all because the Captain raised me well!"

Yuze curved his lips, his eyes flashing a dark hue, "You’re welcome~Benefitting you blesses me."

Josh was too excited and didn’t catch the deeper meaning in his words, and leaned in with her little head to check the other data.

The lady doctor gave him a knowing glance.

Josh saw that her spiritual power data column had reached Grade A and became even more excited, "Captain! Look quickly!"
