"Clan Leader, we all believe you. This has nothing to do with you. Some evil beastmen are just trying to harm us."
"That's right. Once the Clan Leader heals us, we have to catch those evil beastmen."
Qiao Xixi's gaze swept over them one by one.
"Rest assured, I will not spare the evil beastmen responsible for this."
"Why haven't you started? Don't tell me you can't actually heal them and are just stalling for time, Qiao Xixi."
"Yeah, get on with it!"
Qiao Xixi slowly closed her eyes and spread her arms.
In that instant, the snow-white beast-pelt skirt she wore began to move on its own, stirred by no wind. Her long, silver hair flew about as if a power was erupting from within her body.
The moonlight seemed drawn to this power, condensing into a halo around her. It was as if she were the sole point of light in a world shrouded by darkness.
Qiao Xixi's eyes snapped open. Invisible vines spread from her heart, creeping through her entire body.
"Water."
