When Shien came to Gigareth's house, he was welcomed by the whole family and was respectfully sent in. It could be said that he was in the limelight.
But when he left, Shien walked out alone. Those who did not know would think that he had done something wrong and was chased out by Gigareth's family.
When Shien walked out of the door of Gigareth's house, the girls around him also reappeared at the right time.
"Is everything done?"
Ai Yi seemed to have gone somewhere to sleep. She yawned while glancing at Shien and asked lazily.
La Xia also held Jade and slowly walked over to Shien.
Shien immediately looked at Jade.
“?”
Jade tilted her head as if she was a little puzzled.
This was because the way Shien looked at her was different from before.
Shien's eyes showed thoughtfulness, doubt, and helplessness. Not only Jade, but also Ai Yi and La Xia were puzzled.
"What's wrong?"
Although Ai Yi wasn't too interested, she still asked.
"… Nothing."
Shien thought about it and chose not to say it.
Although he had read the ancient book and more or less knew why Tris was so afraid of the existence of Jade, he was still not sure that Jade was the existence mentioned in the ancient book. There was no need to say it so clearly.
Now, compared to the origin of Jade, Shien had a bigger headache about how to deal with this little girl.
Did he really have to abandon her?
But, could he do it?
Obviously not.
Perhaps, if it was someone else, there was a high probability that they would do so. But although Shien was not a good person, he could not do something like abandoning such an innocent little girl.
Even if he brought Jade along, he might encounter a lot of trouble on the road. Anyway, there was You Lin, the holy sword, and at the very least, Ai Yi. Shien did not need to worry about it like Tris and the others.
So …
"It's better to let me decide."
Shien decided and squatted in front of Jade.
Jade's eyes had been following Shien. Because of their height, when Shien stood, she looked up. When Shien squatted in front of her, her eyes slowly moved down until they were level.
The young girl stared at Shien without saying a word. She was unusually calm and seemed to be waiting for Shien to speak.
Shien suddenly smiled at Jade and said so.
"Little one, do you want to go with me?"
Sean met Emerald's gaze, looked straight into her amethyst eyes, and made a question.
Although Ai Yi and Hu Xia did not know what was going on, they knew that since Sean had asked this question, it meant that he had the intention to bring this young lady with him.
At the side, Ai Yi and La Xia did not know what happened, but they also knew that since Shien asked this, it meant that he intended to bring the girl with him.
Only Shien, who had been staring at Jade, found that when he issued the invitation, there was a flash of disbelief in the young girl's eyes.
Only Sean, who had been staring at the emerald, realized that there was a flash of disbelief in the young girl's eyes when he sent out the invitation.
Jade fell into a daze and did not respond for a long time.
Obviously, no one had said such a thing to her in the past.
Shien was not in a hurry and did not speak again. He waited slowly.
This finally caused some ripples to appear in Jade's eyes.
After a long time, the ripples in Jade's eyes disappeared.
Immediately after, Jade nodded and agreed to Shien's invitation.
Shien smiled.
"Okay."
At that moment, Shien stood up and said without hesitation.
"Let's set off for Kosmos now."
Hearing this, Ai Yi and La Xia looked at each other and nodded without any objection.
Feicui was still as calm as before, but there was something else in her eyes when she looked at Sean.
"You Lin!"
Shien shouted at the sky.
"Roar!"
A dragon's roar sounded immediately, and a black shadow fell from the sky like a meteorite. It flew over quickly, bringing with it a scorching airflow and a storm, and arrived in front of Shien and the others.
Shien and the others immediately climbed onto You Lin's back.
Not long after, You Lin flapped her dragon wings and flew away.
The destination was the northern city, Kosmos.
…
On the day that Shien left, a group of people appeared in an ownerless cemetery in the wild in Teryteli.
There were men and women, and they looked completely different, but they had some uniform characteristics.
For example, they all had a pair of beast ears and a beast tail, but some had wolf ears and wolf tails, some had pig ears and pig tails, some had cat ears and cat tails, and some had leopard ears and leopard tails. Their clothes were mainly animal skins, and they looked very wild.
Without a doubt, this was a group of Beastmen, and they were Beastmen of different tribes.
In front of this group of Beastmen was a seductive woman with fox ears and a fox tail.
If anyone saw this Foxwoman, they would definitely be shocked, right?
This was because the Foxwoman had a very special status among the Beastmen, and they were very few in number. They had not appeared for many years.
Now, a Foxwoman had appeared here. If news of this got out, it would definitely cause an uproar.
However, the Foxwoman had appeared here with a group of Beastmen. Her face was solemn and cold, and she seemed to be in a bad mood.
After taking a closer look, a few corpses were dug out in front of the Foxwoman, and they were exposed to the air.
These corpses were the magical lifeforms that had committed suicide in front of Shien the night before.
Long Xia had buried them here in this manner.
However, they were now dug out.
A burly Werewolf came in front of the Foxwoman, and spoke with an unpleasant expression.
"As expected, it's not here, Saintess."
Hearing that, the Foxwoman, who was addressed as the Saintess, seemed to be in an even worse mood.
Behind her, the Beastmen also spoke indignantly.
"It's like this again. Every time we find a clue, there's only a group of magical lifeforms' corpses left."
"The person behind this is really disgusting."
"Even if they're magical lifeforms, they casually created them, and then abandoned them after using them. They're even more detestable than the Old Demons."
"Don't say anymore. This is the usual method of the person behind this. Otherwise, how could he continue to run around?"
"Yeah, if it weren't for the fact that magical lifeforms are always on the move, we would have caught the mastermind long ago."
"Ahh! This is so annoying! I really want to drag this person out and chop him into pieces! "
The Beastmen all yelled with extreme hostility. Apparently, they had encountered similar situations many times, and they were already helpless and on the verge of breaking down.
Otherwise, the leading Saintess wouldn't be in such a bad mood.
"Do you know who buried these magical lifeforms here?"
The Foxwoman Saintess asked the burly Werewolf.
"No, I don't." The burly Werewolf said in distress, "We've already sniffed everywhere in this area, but we can't smell the person who buried these magical lifeforms at all. It's as if they've specially cleaned up the traces they left behind. Their technique is superb and perfect. It's more untraceable than any of our previous investigations."
"There's nothing at all?" The Foxwoman Saintess frowned and said, "I don't think we encountered such a thing when we found those magical lifeforms on the move the last few times, right?"
"That's right. The previous times, with the Beastmen's five senses that are far superior to those of other races, we more or less found some clues. We know what those magical lifeforms have done and who they've been in contact with, unlike this time, where we can't find any traces at all." The burly Werewolf said very seriously, "It should be the work of a very powerful expert. Ordinary people definitely can't do this."
"… Is that so?" The Foxwoman Saintess was silent for a moment. Then, she said, "Is it possible that this person is the mastermind behind everything?"
This question was not answered by the burly Werewolf, but by a werewolf girl next to the Saintess.
"No, that's impossible." The werewolf girl shook her head and denied it. "Judging from the style of the mastermind, he doesn't care about the lives of these magical lifeforms at all. It's impossible for him to come out and bury them at the risk of being discovered by us."
"Then what's going on now?" The burly Werewolf was immediately puzzled. "Why did someone bury the magical lifeforms this time?"
The Beastmen all looked at the werewolf girl at once.
It seemed that this cute werewolf girl should be the brains of this Beastman group.
As a matter of fact, that was indeed the case.
"I think it might be done by an unrelated outsider." The werewolf girl pondered for a moment and said, "Although the traces have been removed, judging from the way they were buried, they should have some respect for these magical lifeforms instead of treating them as tools. So, it might be an unrelated outsider who doesn't know the origin and identity of these magical lifeforms and can't bear to see their corpses exposed in the wilderness. That's why he did all this."
"Unrelated outsider?" The Foxwoman Saintess was a little worried. "Could it be that innocent bystanders are finally involved this time?"
"Hey, hey, hey! Are you for real?! " The burly Werewolf said in astonishment. "This is no joke. If anything goes wrong, these innocent bystanders who are involved are dead for sure!"
"That's right." The werewolf girl also said worriedly, "What we're most worried about may happen."
Her words made all the Beastmen's hearts sink.
They definitely didn't want to see innocent bystanders get hurt.
"We have to hurry." The Foxwoman Saintess took a deep breath and immediately said, "There's no other way. Let's use extreme measures."
Hearing that, all the Beastmen's expressions changed.
"Saintess!"
"Saintess!"
The burly Werewolf and the werewolf girl cried out in panic.
"Alright, that's enough." The Foxwoman Saintess couldn't help but say, "I can't let the hell of the past reappear. It's fine if I get hurt for this."
Hearing that, the Beastmen were speechless. They only became even more furious and disgusted with the person behind all this.
The Foxwoman Saintess half-knelt on the ground and began to pray.
"— O great Life Goddess, please tell your devout believer where the calamity of darkness is …"
A layer of holy light shone on the Foxwoman Saintess' body.
