Yao Hui stayed quiet and just walked past Xian Xiao.
Xian Xiao followed behind Yao Hui knowing that the direction of where they were going was where the setech of blood grew stronger. With each step they took there were pieces of clothing dropped on the ground. The pieces were small but they were visible and the farther they followed them the bigger the pieces got and the more suspicious Xian Xiao got.
It was quiet too quiet for Xian Xiao liking, Yao Hui was silent as well people never said it in front of him but they all say that it would be better if his mouth was sewn shut. So anyone would find it odd especially Xian Xiao that the biggest chatterbox in the world had finally closed their mouth.
"Yao Hui" Xian Xiao called out but he kept walking like he didn't hear him which annoyed Xian Xiao a bit.
Xian Xiao tried again to get Yao Hui attention but rather than just calling out to him again he tried a different approach. Xian Xiao grabbed Yao Hui by the shoulders spinning him around to face him although Yao Hui's head hung low.
"Yao Hui are you alright?" Xian Xiao didn't get a response from Yao Hui it made him a little nervous.
Xian Xiao just lifted a hand to grab his chin and raise his head up.
"..." Then the sudden realization hit Yao Hui didn't need to say anything probably because he couldn't his eyes were different instead of brown his eyes were bright yellow not one of the most common colour for humans but for Yao that's a different story. Xian Xiao let out a sigh he knew how to get rid of the hex so he and Yao Hui could just continue on there way but if he just left the Yao to it's own devices it would probably snatch someone else up and he would have to deal with it later because someone went missing. Xian Xiao didn't want to deal with that so it would be better if he just killed it now besides he already had one demonic spirit running around what's one more going to do.
Xian Xiao let go of Yao Hui so he could continue walking towards the Yao, picking up one of the scrap clothing on the ground Xian Xiao wondered if the person was still alive even though it would be unlikely it would be nice for them to return to there family if they lived. The longer they walked the more the trees seemed to close in on them Xian Xiao had to unsheathe his blade to cut the branches in front of them he also made sure to stay close to Yao Hui just so he wouldn't be dragged away by anything.
The branches had traces of blood and bits of cloth on them, someone had running through here walking farther there was finally something other than trees in their faces. A woman lay still her body draped over a stone it was covered with visible scrapes and scratches deep wounds that left her clothes with blotches of red stained over them her lips blue and her eyes a dull yellow. It was an unsettling site to see Yao Hui walked forward his expression unchanged Xian Xiao thought this was far enough so he pulled Yao Hui back. Leaning down to his ear he whispered an incantation to Yao Hui his eyes turning to that same brown that he was used to seeing.
Yao Hui immediately let out a groan lifting a hand to rub his temples after the pounding headache subsided he looked around confused like a lost dog in the street. Xian Xiao could see his confusion and gave the shoulder he hand his hand on a light squeeze just enough to get his attention so he wouldn't panic over the situation.
Yao Hui swug his head around to see Xian Xiao put a finger over his lips signaling for him to be quiet. Now that Yao Hui was no longer under the hex it was likely for the Yao to now show itself to find it's missing prey that's escaped it's grasp.
