In truth, the moment the two grade-5 Genesis Demons died, everything was already set in stone.
The humans' resistance grew stronger, while the Genesis Demons were constantly being killed, their numbers dwindling rapidly.
As time passed, the Origin Demon invasion, which had been suffocating the Qiu Family, gradually calmed down.
The source of all these changes was actually Ji Chuan and Lu Qingshan's arrival.
… …
An hour later.
After the peach blossom shattered the last grade-3 Genesis Demon in Lu Qingshan's line of sight, it spiraled back into Lu Qingshan's body and disappeared.
"It's over." Lu Qingshan's gaze swept across the wreckage.
The continuous downpour in the sky finally came to a stop.
The Qiu Clan had suffered disastrous losses in this Genesis Demon invasion.
The situation in the outermost area was the worst, and the casualties were the most disastrous.
The entire Fengling Town had a total population of only thirty to forty thousand. Initial estimates suggested that at least ten thousand people had died in this battle, most of them mortals.
Under the wanton attacks of the Genesis Demons, all the buildings in Fengling Town, with the exception of the Qiu Clan's territory protected by a spiritual formation, were destroyed.
Houses collapsed and were in ruins.
Gullies were split open on the streets, and blood mixed with mud flowed through them...
It was incomparably miserable.
Qiu Changqing walked over to Lu Qingshan and Ji Chuan and thanked them gratefully, "Many thanks to the two upper cultivators for coming to our rescue and saving our Qiu Clan from the abyss of suffering."
"I'll have to trouble patriarch Qiu to find a room for Miss Qiu." Lu Qingshan waved his hand, not intending to claim credit. He glanced at Ji Chuan beside him and said to Qiu Changqing.
Ji Chuan had already put the little beggar down when the Genesis Demons had been wiped out and there was no longer any danger.
However, the unconscious Qiu Shiyin was still in his arms.
There was a very interesting psychological phenomenon called compensation psychology.
Ji Chuan seemed to have fallen into this psychological phenomenon.
Because of his previous misunderstanding with Qiu Shiyin, he felt guilty towards her. Now, he couldn't help but pay special attention to Qiu Shiyin as compensation for his previous mistake.
Lu Qingshan thought to himself.
Qiu Chang Qing's eyelids twitched when he heard this. He glanced meaningfully at the pale Qiu Shiyin and Ji Chuan, who had a worried expression on his face. He said respectfully, "I will arrange it now."
.....
Qiu Shiyin slowly opened her eyes and found herself in an unfamiliar environment.
She was lying on a big, soft bed.
"You're awake."
A slightly hoarse voice sounded.
Qiu Shiyin looked in the direction of the voice and saw a familiar figure.
"Ji Chuan …" For a moment, Qiu Shiyin was in a trance. Soon, her memory gradually became clear, and the scene before she fainted appeared in her mind.
"Those children …" Qiu Shiyin's voice trembled slightly.
Ji Chuan naturally understood what Qiu Shiyin meant. He sighed, "When I arrived, only the child you were protecting was left. The other children have already … so …"
Qiu Shiyin fell silent.
She closed her eyes slightly, and scenes flashed through her mind.
Countless ferocious monsters roared as they rushed into Fengling Town and rushed towards the children.
The children were in a daze and did not sense the danger at all. It was not until the Origin Demons tore these unlucky children to pieces and slaughtered them without restraint.
She tried her best to stop the Origin Demons and save the children from their mouths, but it was all in vain.
One child after another died in front of her just like that.
The painful screams of the children before they died still reverberated in her ears, lingering in her ears.
She felt a stuffy feeling in her chest, and she felt a little nauseous. Her breathing became heavy.
At this moment, a warm hand covered her cold palm.
A wave of warm spiritual energy flowed through her body, turning into a warm current that flowed through her entire body.
"Don't think too much …" She heard Ji Chuan's voice.
After a long time, she finally recovered and opened her eyes again. She looked at Ji Chuan's chiseled face, then glanced down and stared blankly at her own palm.
Ji Chuan was tightly holding her hand.
Seeing Qiu Shiyin look over, Ji Chuan hurriedly let go of Qiu Shiyin's hand.
However, seeing Qiu Shiyin put her hand under the blanket, for some reason, he felt an inexplicable sense of reluctance.
"In my heart, I've always treated those children as my little brothers," Qiu Shiyin suddenly said.
"Little brother …" Ji Chuan muttered.
This was the second time he heard Qiu Shiyin mention her little brother.
"My little brother is also a 'toad'," Qiu Shiyin said slowly.
Ji Chuan nodded slightly. Qiu Shiyin had mentioned this before, so he naturally remembered.
"But he's different from the other 'toads'." Qiu Shiyin's eyes flashed with memories. "The other toads only look like monsters, but they're still humans, but …"
Qiu Shiyin paused before continuing, "My little brother is really a monster."
"Monster?" Ji Chuan's heart suddenly tightened.
"He's a monster," Qiu Shiyin said very calmly as if she was talking about someone else's story. "When he came out of my mother's stomach, he was small and thin, but his body was covered in dark green scales. His eyes were strange yellow. He was just born, but his mouth was already full of sharp fangs."
Ji Chuan didn't know what to say.
This was the first time he heard that a human could give birth to a monster.
"Moreover, his birth caused my mother to lose her life," Qiu Shiyin continued, "He grew too big. My mother risked her life to give birth to him. She didn't even have time to look at him before he died."
"But that's good. That way, my mother wouldn't know that she risked her life to give birth to a monster." Qiu Shiyin smiled.
"And then … what happened?" Ji Chuan asked in a hoarse voice.
"I wanted to kill him because he was a monster," Qiu Shiyin's voice gradually became low, as if she was crying and complaining, "But when I was about to do it, that little monster … he suddenly opened his eyes. Those yellow eyes looked at me motionlessly, then he moved. He stumbled on the ground and rolled to my feet …"
Speaking of this, Qiu Shiyin showed a bitter smile, "He was just born, but he could walk on the ground. What is he if not a monster?"
"He rolled to my feet and stretched out his claws with all his strength," Qiu Shiyin's voice became more and more complicated, "He hugged one of my feet tightly and shouted happily at me."
"Yes, I didn't understand the meaning of his shout," Qiu Shiyin affirmed, "But I could feel his joy."
"I grabbed its neck and lifted it up. It didn't resist at all and just let me do whatever I wanted. At that time, I wanted to break its neck." This time, Qiu Shiyin paused for a long time.
Ji Chuan didn't urge her, but waited patiently.
Finally, Qiu Shiyin continued, "At that moment, my eyes met its eyes.
I thought that the eyes of this monster must be cruel, cold, and ruthless.
But at that time, I clearly saw human emotions similar to admiration and nostalgia in its eyes. "
"It seemed to know that I was its family, its … sister."
