Two CEOs fell in love with me during my menstruation

After leaving the ancient library, the depths of the Black Forest seemed to become even more mysterious. The trees grew denser, the light from the sky could barely penetrate, and the surroundings were shrouded in eternal shadow. There was an indescribable sense of oppression in the air of the forest, as if the earth was whispering, telling the ancient legend of this forbidden land.

Xiaoxiao, Qin Wentian and Ye Qilin continued to move forward cautiously. They had a vague feeling in their hearts that there were greater secrets and dangers hidden deep in the forest. Xiaoxiao held the artifact tightly and felt that the cold power became more active as they went deeper. She knew that this uneasy premonition might be some kind of omen of what was about to happen.

Along the way, they hardly talked, each of them was lost in thought. Qin Wentian and Ye Qilin both had a solemn look on their faces, and they obviously realized that this adventure was far more complicated than they had imagined. The three of them relied on each other, but they all knew in their hearts that they would have to face unknown challenges in the end.

Suddenly, a low roar came from the woods ahead, breaking the silence. Xiao Xiao immediately became alert and looked around for the source of the sound. Qin Wentian and Ye Qilin also quickly prepared for battle, their eyes revealing firmness and determination.

Just as they were on guard, several huge black shadows jumped out of the bushes and rushed towards them. These creatures looked like giant wolves, but were several times larger than ordinary wolves. Their eyes flashed with ferocious red light and they let out bloodthirsty growls.

"It's the demon wolf!" Ye Qilin shouted in a low voice, and quickly swung the sword in his hand to fight back. These demon wolves were obviously not ordinary creatures, they were fast and agile, and had great strength.

Qin Wentian also drew his sword to fight. His movements were clean and neat, and the sword tip cut through the air, making a crisp sound. He stabbed a demon wolf in the throat, but the wolf evaded it nimbly and quickly counterattacked.

Xiao Xiao held the artifact tightly, feeling the cold power it transmitted. She silently chanted a spell in her heart, and the artifact emitted a cold light, and the air around her suddenly froze. She swung the artifact, and a cold light instantly slashed at the demon wolf, and the air was filled with a frosty breath.

The demon wolves howled miserably under the attack of the cold light, their bodies were frozen stiff, and their movements became slow. Taking this opportunity, Qin Wentian and Ye Qilin attacked together, knocking down several demon wolves one by one.

After the battle, Xiaoxiao felt exhausted. She knew that every time she used the power of the artifact, she would consume a lot of physical and mental strength. Qin Wentian walked to her side and asked with concern: "Xiaoxiao, are you okay?"

Xiao Xiao nodded and tried to smile, "I'm fine, I just need to rest."

Ye Qilin looked around vigilantly, "It seems that we have attracted the attention of the creatures in the Black Forest. We must be more careful."

They decided to rest for a while and continue on their way after recovering their strength. Xiaoxiao leaned against a big tree, closed her eyes and adjusted her breathing. She felt her strength gradually recovering, but she was still full of anxiety. She knew that as they went deeper, the danger would only increase, and she had to become stronger to protect herself and the people around her.

After a short rest, they continued to move deeper into the forest. As time went by, the surrounding environment became more and more unfamiliar, as if they had entered a world isolated from the outside world. The trees became taller and taller, as if they could reach out and touch the sky, but the treetops above their heads blocked all the light, plunging the entire forest into eternal darkness.

They groped their way forward in the darkness and finally came to a huge and ancient ruin. This ruin was hidden deep in the Black Forest, and its architectural style was completely different from what they had seen before. The tall stone pillars and mottled walls were engraved with complex runes, as if silently telling an ancient story.

"Is this the legendary mysterious relic?" Qin Wentian's voice was filled with a hint of amazement. He had never seen such a magnificent and mysterious building.

Ye Qilin nodded, his eyes deep, "This was once the altar of an ancient wizard. It is said that it contains endless power and knowledge, but it is also full of dangers."

Xiaoxiao approached the ruins and felt a powerful force surging from it. This force made her heart beat faster, as if it was calling her, beckoning her to enter and uncover the hidden secrets.

"We must go in," Xiao Xiao said firmly, with a flash of determination in her eyes, "Only here can we find the answer to the artifact."

Qin Wentian and Ye Qilin looked at each other and nodded. They knew that although the road ahead might be full of unknown dangers, they had no way out. The three of them walked into the ruins side by side and embarked on the final journey to find the truth.

The interior of the ruins was unusually spacious, and the gemstones inlaid on the walls emitted a dim light, illuminating their way forward. The ground was covered with thick dust, and it was obvious that no one had set foot here for countless years.

As they went deeper, a low chanting sound gradually came from the ruins. The sound seemed to come from all directions, carrying a mysterious and ancient power. Xiaoxiao felt the artifact tremble slightly in her hand, as if responding to these sounds.

They continued to walk forward and came to a huge stone door. The stone door was engraved with complex runes, which were very similar to the runes engraved on the artifact. Xiao Xiao slowly brought the artifact closer to the stone door, and suddenly, the runes began to emit a dazzling light, and the stone door slowly opened, revealing the mysterious space behind the door.

This is a large altar, with a huge stone platform in the center, and an ancient scroll on the stone platform. Xiaoxiao approached the stone platform and felt the powerful power contained in the scroll. This power made her feel an inexplicable awe and fear.

"This is the final secret..." Xiao Xiao murmured in a low voice. She stretched out her hand and gently touched the scroll. The moment her fingers touched the scroll, a powerful force suddenly surged into her body, as if to swallow her.

Qin Wentian and Ye Qilin quickly stepped forward to help Xiaoxiao, but were blocked by an invisible force. They watched Xiaoxiao being surrounded by the power of the scroll, but they were powerless.

Xiaoxiao felt as if her body was torn apart. She gritted her teeth and tried to stay awake. She knew that this power was the result of the interweaving of the artifact and the scroll, and she had to withstand this power to solve the final mystery.

Eventually, the power in the scroll gradually weakened, and Xiaoxiao was freed from the painful feeling. She breathed a sigh of relief and knelt weakly on the ground, but her eyes flashed with a light she had never had before.

"I...saw it..." Xiao Xiao panted and said with difficulty, "I saw everything about the artifact, its origin, its power, and...its mission."

Qin Wentian and Ye Qilin quickly helped her up and asked with concern: "What did you see?"

Xiao Xiao took a deep breath and calmed herself down. "This artifact was originally forged by ancient wizards to fight against the invasion of dark forces. But during the casting process, the wizards encountered a huge disaster. Although the artifact was completed, it was cursed. This curse requires the holder to pay a huge price, but it also gives it unparalleled power."

Ye Qilin frowned, "So, what is the price?"

Xiao Xiao slowly shook her head, "The price is... the soul of the holder will be swallowed by the artifact.
