Chapter 286 Can we wait a little longer? (Epilogue of Volume 2)
The sky was faintly crimson, and the east was already turning white.
On the campsite in front of Qingshuitai, a woman in an apricot-colored dress held the hand of a half-demon boy, looking at the sky gradually brightening in the distance.
"Xiao Sheng, take your younger brother and sister inside first!" Gu Yuan glanced at the little boy she was holding.
The little boy slowly raised his head: "Sister, I want to see my mother..."
He turned to look at the children behind him: "They...want to too."
Gu Yuan gently patted his head: "Don't worry."
The little boy nodded and smiled softly.
Although it was a bizarre half-human, half-demon creature, its smile was like the purest snowflake in the world, softening Gu Yuan's heart.
As the two were talking, a female disciple from the Jiangyun Sect walked up behind Gu Yuan: "Senior Sister Gu, the sect's flying boat has arrived, and everything is ready. As long as those women come along, we can set off to return to the sect immediately."
Those women suffered a lot of torture at the hands of the demons in the desolate region. Even if they were rescued, they could not be immediately released back to the mortal world.
Therefore, after discussion among the elders, it was decided that the Jiangyun Sect, which consisted entirely of female disciples, would take in these women.
"Yuanyuan."
A gentle voice came from behind her, and Gu Yuan knew that Yin Shishi had arrived.
In addition to bringing those women back to Jiangyun Sect, Yin Shishi will also travel to Jiangyun Sect by flying boat at the behest of Xuanji Zhenren of Xuanhuang Sect to recuperate the women's health.
"Senior Sister Yin." Gu Yuan bowed to Yin Shishi, a faint sadness on her face.
"What's wrong?" Yin Shishi looked at the sky that was gradually brightening in the distance. At the junction of heaven and earth, a faint light of magic was rapidly approaching.
Gu Yuan sighed, her voice filled with regret: "If we hadn't been so careless, those women wouldn't have..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Yin Shishi interrupted her: "Don't you dare imitate Long Siyin."
"The human and demon races and the demon race in the Yuanming Realm have been at war for ten thousand years. The current situation is the most prosperous in ten thousand years."
"Both the human and demon races are doing their utmost for the current situation, disregarding their own lives. If you truly care about those women, you shouldn't be blaming yourself here..."
"Instead, I will personally cut off the heads of those demons, making those who have scorned the beings of my Yuanming Realm pay for their blood debts."
Gu Yuan was awakened by Yin Shishi's words, and the woman gave a bitter smile: "Gu Yuan is getting stuck in a rut."
"The great battle has not yet ended; we can only move forward."
The souls of those who are still alive and those who have died can only be appeased by the blood of the demons.
The light from afar finally arrived, transforming into a disciple of the Divine Shadow Sect before the two.
As soon as he landed, the man looked at the two of them and shouted loudly:
"Your journey will proceed without hindrance, and the ladies will arrive shortly."
Behind him, two large flying ships slowly emerged.
On one of the airships, a woman dressed in a tattered dress stumbled to the side of the ship and looked at the Qingshuitai not far away.
Her cheeks were sunken, and her eyes showed a deep longing.
A bright, passionate flame reignited in the woman's eyes.
She looked at the woman in blue behind her: "Snow Lone Bird... Sunset Glow..."
The woman had lived in the demon realm for so long that she had long forgotten the tone of her voice. Xue Lan looked at her and nodded: "Ahead is Qing Shui Terrace. You can take a boat from there to return to Luo Xia Mountain."
The woman's lips curled up as she saw the figures standing below from the ship's railing. Suddenly, she gave a very soft, gentle laugh.
"Young lady..." the woman said slowly and deliberately, "I have a child named Xiaosheng... Could you please take good care of him?"
She spoke very slowly and very seriously.
Looking at the woman in front of her, Xue Lan suddenly had a bad feeling.
Having received no response from Xue Lan for a long time, the woman grew anxious: "Miss!"
The woman, dressed in a light blue dress, slowly shook her head: "That is your child."
The woman's voice was filled with a mournful sob: "But I... but I can't go back!"
"I stayed in that place for eleven years!"
As soon as she said that, the women around her burst into tears, like a wave that rose without warning, and they began to surge toward the ship's side.
Then one by one, like birds committing suicide, they tumbled over the side of the ship.
Xue Lan gently raised her hand, and a layer of soft, light clouds appeared beneath the flying boat she was riding, catching the women who were ready to die.
On the other airship, the protective barrier had already been activated, keeping the women at the ship's side.
"Why?" The woman who had just been speaking to Xue Lan collapsed to the ground, completely exhausted, as if all her strength had been drained from her.
The disciples of the surrounding immortal sects flew up into the clouds and rescued the women who had jumped. Xue Lan took a few steps forward and knelt on one knee in front of the woman.
The beautiful fairy gently raised her hand and wiped away the unstoppable tears from the corners of her eyes.
Xue Lan placed one hand on her shoulder, his expression serious and meticulous.
"Why did you come home thinking about dying?"
Xue Lan's voice was gentle, as if she were coaxing a child.
"What do you know...those...those things, those...I can never go back! Miss Xue!"
The woman pushed Xue Lan away and stood up, her voice hoarse, looking as if she had gone mad.
Xue Lan stood up and looked at her: "Don't you want to see them die?"
In short, Xue Lan deliberately cast a spell to amplify his voice, making it resound throughout the entire world.
The woman was stunned.
"Now that we've rescued you, can't you... wait a little longer?" Xue Lan's voice sounded somewhat strained.
"Wait until they die!"
As she said this, Xue Lan slowly walked forward, and the woman who had just gone mad did not retreat.
Her lifeless eyes shifted slightly: "For me..."
For me... would an immortal really do that?
"For you!" Xue Lan said firmly.
“So…” Xue Lan took the woman’s hand again: “I will also try to find a way to help Xiao Sheng’s body. Can we wait a little longer? Some people have been waiting for you in Luoxia Mountain for many years.”
The woman did not resist. She whimpered a few times like a wild beast, then threw herself into Xue Lan's arms and cried loudly.
The cries of the suicidal women echoed around them, like a mournful dirge.
"Sorry……"
Xue Lan spoke softly.
She gently patted the woman's back.
“I will offer you the corpses of those beasts one by one.”
She took the woman's hand and turned around. The flying boat slowly descended, and the woman saw the people below through her tears.
"Welcome home!"
Xue Lan spoke softly.
A deafening roar erupted from below:
"Welcome home!"
From now on, there is no need to fear the invasion of evil spirits. If any of them harm my people, I will offer them their bones.
