"It just stared at me blankly. After a while, it stuck out its tongue and gently licked my hand.
There were barbs on its tongue, but its movements were very gentle, so it didn't hurt. It just tickled. "
Qiu Shiyin continued, "At that moment, I knew that I absolutely couldn't bear to kill it with my own hands."
"I picked it up and threw it back on the bed. Then, I turned and left the room.
Although I couldn't bear to kill it with my own hands, I knew that if the little monster grew up, it would be very terrifying.
Because there was a strong smell of death aura on its body, just like those Source Demons.
So, I prepared to let it starve to death in the room. "
"When I left, the little monster kept crying at me, as if it was crying and begging me not to leave.
I resisted, resisted, and didn't look back.
Because I knew that if I looked back and saw its eyes, my heart would soften and I would change my mind. "Qiu Shiyin said calmly.
"You changed your mind in the end, right?" Ji Chuan asked.
Qiu Shiyin glanced at Ji Chuan with her watery eyes, "Why do you think so?"
"Because you're this kind of person." This time, Ji Chuan didn't look away, but met Qiu Shiyin's complicated eyes, "For these children, you're willing to give up your life. How could you let your little brother die in the room like this?"
Under Ji Chuan's burning gaze, Qiu Shiyin lowered her eyelids to avoid Ji Chuan's gaze and said, "Not long after Mother was pregnant with the little monster, Father had a serious illness and passed away. Mother also passed away to give birth to the little monster. The little monster is my only family left …
I buried Mother and dealt with everything. When I returned home, three days had already passed.
After three days, I returned home again. I felt that the little monster must have died after so long.
When I opened the door, the little monster was lying motionless on the bed. Its eyes were tightly closed, and there was no movement at all.
When I put my finger under its nose, it wasn't breathing at all. "
Speaking of this, Qiu Shiyin inexplicably smiled, "You're right, I was the one who ruthlessly decided to starve it to death. But when I found out that it was really dead, I felt inexplicably uncomfortable."
"I thought about it for a long time and finally decided to bury it with my mother.
Mother, she definitely wouldn't despise her own child for being a little monster, right?
This way, when the little monster goes to the underworld, there will be someone to love it. It can even complain to Mother about me, its sister. "
"I grabbed it, but at that moment, it suddenly moved. Then, it opened its eyes. Those yellow eyes were shockingly big, but very lifeless.
The little monster saw me, and just like before, it stuck out its tongue and licked my hand. Its lifeless eyes were filled with joy.
It raised its ugly head and kept barking at me like a spoiled child. Its voice was not pleasant to hear and it was very weak, but it was soft and harmless. "
"How would this idiot know that the sister in its eyes had never treated it as a younger brother? She was even prepared to starve it to death." Qiu Shiyin's voice began to choke. "It was at that time that it suddenly stopped being ugly in my eyes.
I rubbed its head and it squinted its eyes, looking like it was enjoying it. It kept rubbing its head against my palm, just like a puppy asking for attention. "
"If it were you, what would you do? Would you kill your own brother?" Qiu Shiyin suddenly asked, "Even if it looked like a monster."
Ji Chuan was stunned. He was silent for a long time and thought for a long time. Finally, he shook his head, "I wouldn't."
Qiu Shiyin got the answer and hid her gaze in the shadows again. She slowly said, "I didn't want to kill it, so I decided to raise it for the time being.
It was born with sharp teeth and can eat meat, so its body grew very quickly. In less than half a month, it was as big as a seven or eight year old child.
Not only can it walk by itself, but it also has extraordinary strength. It's hard to imagine what kind of terrifying existence this little monster will become in a few years. "
Speaking of this, Qiu Shiyin shook her head again. "Perhaps because of the three days when I threw it in the room and almost killed it, it left a shadow in its heart.
So it was very clingy to me. As long as it couldn't see me, it would go crazy. It was very strong. After tearing down the house once or twice, I didn't dare to easily leave its sight. "
"Because it looked too scary, the surrounding neighbors were very afraid that it would hurt them. They wanted to report it to the cultivators in the clan to kill the little monster.
I took it and a gift and knocked on the neighbors' door one by one, assuring them that it was very obedient and wouldn't hurt anyone.
Under my repeated assurances, the neighbors reluctantly agreed not to report it to the cultivators in the clan. However, they told me that once the little monster showed signs of hurting people, they would immediately report it to the cultivators to get rid of it. "
"I told the little monster that it was not allowed to lose its temper or hurt people again. Once it hurt people, I would throw it away and let it never see me again."
Speaking of this, Qiu Shiyin's face showed a very gentle smile. "The little monster was very scared. It tightly grasped the corner of my clothes, rolled its big eyes, and cried sadly, as if it was telling me that it would not hurt people and that I would not throw it away."
"I touched its head and promised it that as long as it didn't fight with others or hurt people, no matter what happened, I would not throw it away."
"The little monster got my promise and smiled at me for a long time."
Ji Chuan was silent.
Now, the little monster was no longer around Qiu Shiyin.
Although he didn't know what happened after that, Ji Chuan knew that it must not be a very good thing.
Qiu Shiyin continued, "I practiced the mining technique and was responsible for the exploration of the mineral veins in the clan. I often needed to find Source Stone Orchids in the mineral veins.
The little monster was too clingy to me. The first time I went out to the mine, because it was inconvenient to bring it with me, I let it wait for me at home.
That day, it was raining heavily.
When I came back, I saw the little monster standing in front of the door. It didn't know how to hide from the rain, and its whole body was wet.
The moment it saw me, it immediately let out a cry of grievance. It rolled and jumped in front of me, and tightly grasped my trousers.
It turned out that after I left home, this fool had been waiting for me at the door ….
I never gave the little monster a name because I knew that once I gave it a name, it would mean that I truly recognized it as my brother.
Although I already thought so in my heart …. "
"Until that time, the little monster came out of a mine with dirty clothes. It ran in front of me and cried happily. Its big yellow eyes were full of joy.
It was holding a piece of Source Stone Orchid in its hand. "
"This fool," Qiu Shiyin's tone was helpless and doting, "it actually thought that I was looking for this ore because I liked it.
So when it found a piece of Source Stone Orchid, it quickly handed it to me as if it was presenting a treasure.
Looking at its eyes full of joy and expectation, I knew that it was expecting me to be happy.
So, I decided …. "
"From then on, no matter what the little monster looks like, it will always be my brother.
I said to the little monster, in the future, you will be called Qiu Ning, Ning as in peace. "
"I hope that it can live a peaceful life without illness or disaster."
