"That's good!" After hearing Ye Fengdu's words, Cui Zi turned her head to look at the monster who was hugging her. She felt that her body wasn't as weak anymore, but she knew that it wasn't because her injuries had healed, but because she had reached the final moment.
She also understood all the changes that the Dark Dao Stone had caused just now. She did not know why this demon would save her. After all, she was a human and a witch. She was destined to be irreconcilable with the demon. However, she could not see any hypocrisy in this demon's eyes.
"Monster brother! You have a way to save Master, right? Please save Master!" Cuizi's words sounded like she didn't care about this at all, but Ziyuan was different. After experiencing life and death separation from her parents, she cherished her current feelings even more. When she heard Ye Fengdu's words, it was as if she had grabbed onto a life-saving straw.
"Ziyuan, be good! People were destined to die! You must learn to be strong! When Master returned, he would see a strong Zi Yuan!!”Cuizi extended her jade-like hand and gently stroked Ziyuan's hair, her eyes glistening with tears of love.
"Yes! Zi Yuan…Zi Yuan will definitely work hard!!”Ziyuan saw the tears in Cuizi's eyes. She did not want Cuizi to be sad. She wanted to prove to her master that she was no longer that timid little girl.
"I'm…so…so tired! I think I'm sleeping." Seeing Zi Yuan's strength, Cui Zi was finally at ease, but her voice was getting weaker and weaker, and she had used up the last bit of her strength. Ye Fengdu could feel that her life force was gradually disappearing, and it was close to being exhausted. Ye Fengdu silently watched all of this, and he felt the fragility of life. However, he believed that he was definitely not that fragile person.
"Do…do you know? I…never…never thought that I would die…die in the arms of a monster!! No…but it's not bad…”With the last of her strength, she finished her last words. Her hand slowly fell, verifying the disappearance of her life. Cuizi walked the last part of her life with a charming smile.
"Master!"
"Lord Cui Zi!"
On this day, the weather was very gloomy. Perhaps it was to pay tribute to this legendary woman who sacrificed herself to protect humanity, whether it was Zi Yuan or the surviving villagers of Harano Village, they all shed tears because of Cuizi's death.
Three days later, because the villagers knew that Cuizi still had a chance of survival, under Ziyuan's persuasion, Ye Fengdu took care of the corpse and the Dark Dao Stone, while the Jade of Four Souls was handed over to the villagers of Yuanye Village for safekeeping. In the end, under the unified decision of the villagers, the Jade of Four Souls was worshiped like Cuizi, and it was taken care of by Cuizi's disciple, Ziyuan.
In three days, the village held a grand memorial ceremony for Cui Zi, and buried Cui Zi's sword as a cenotaph. During this period of time, Ye Fengdu found out the reason for the demon attack. Due to the war in the demon world of the Country of the West and the destruction of the demon city, regardless of whether they belonged to the leopard cat clan or the dog demon clan, the surviving demons had nowhere to go, so they began to plunder the surrounding villages.
This was also the reason why the monsters attacking Purple Garden on Yuan Ling Mountain knew Ye Fengdu. They were the monsters that the Leopard Cat Clan had luckily survived on the battlefield. Ye Fengdu might not be famous in the demon world, but in this battle, he was one of the most feared names of all the monsters.
That night, Ye Fengdu sat alone on a tree trunk with his back against the tree. He raised his head to look at the starry sky and the moon at night. In the past, he always liked to stand high up and look at the scenery below, but now, he realized that looking up at the starry sky, the milky way, and the bright moon was more peaceful than before.
One had to know that in the original world, because of the heavy pollution, the earth was too bright at night. It was rare to see such a scene. As he was admiring the beauty of the night sky, he suddenly heard light footsteps behind him.
"Big Brother Monster! You're looking at the stars! Ziyuan wants it too!" The person who came was Ziyuan. When she saw Ye Fengdu sitting leisurely on the tree, she immediately asked to admire him together.
Ye Fengdu naturally wouldn't object. He put down the tail on his shoulder, then wrapped it around Ziyuan's waist and gently placed her on the tree. Then, he draped it over his shoulder again and continued to look at the sky.
"So beautiful! Big Brother Monster! Do you like stars too?" Ziyuan was already used to Ye Fengdu's personality. She followed Ye Fengdu and looked up at the starry sky, involuntarily exclaiming in admiration. Ye Fengdu couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that girls still liked shiny things, whether it was stars or diamonds.
"Monster brother! What are your plans for the future?" Although Ye Fengdu might not answer, Zi Yuan didn't give him a chance to answer. She looked at him and asked. When she said this, her eyes revealed an obvious reluctance.
"Big Brother Monster! The villagers had already decided that the village would be relocated to another place tomorrow. Zi Yuan had to carry on her master's will to protect them, but…but…Wuwuwu!" By the end of her sentence, Zi Yuan could no longer speak. Her face was already covered in tears.
In fact, Zi Yuan was already a pretty capable witch. She was very talented and had learned a lot of Cuizi's witchcraft. Moreover, she had a mysterious exorcism power in her body that could purify all evil. However, because of the trauma she had when she was young, she would be afraid of monsters.
However, during the time she spent with Ye Fengdu, she had already walked out of the shadow, and she was no longer afraid of monsters. Cuizi's death had caused her hatred for those evil monsters to rise to the extreme. Therefore, although she was only ten years old now, she was indeed a witch who could take charge of her own affairs.
Therefore, she had to inherit Cui Zi's will and protect the remaining villagers from the demons. She also had to protect the Jade of Four Souls because Ye Feng had told her that the Jade of Four Souls had a very mysterious power and could not fall into the hands of the demons. However, not long ago, the villagers had made a decision. They wanted to move this sad place not only because this place had been destroyed by the demons, but also because too many of their relatives and friends had died here. They didn't want to stay in this sad place.
As Cuizi's disciple, Ziyuan naturally had to leave together if she wanted to inherit her master's will. However, she knew that Ye Fengdu wouldn't do that because she knew that if Ye Fengdu wasn't injured, he definitely wouldn't have come to this place. She didn't want to be separated from Ye Fengdu, but she also didn't want to carry her master's will. She was really troubled now.
"Do what you want to do!" Ziyuan, who was crying, suddenly heard Ye Fengdu's words and was stunned for a moment.
Ye Fengdu didn't care about Ziyuan's choice. If Ziyuan was willing to follow him, it meant that they were on the same side, and Ye Feng didn't mind bringing her along. If Ziyuan wasn't willing, it meant that she still couldn't give up her feelings for humans, so there was a need to force her. Even if he brought her away directly, he believed that she wouldn't be happy. Otherwise, who could stop Ye Feng if he wanted to take her away?
After a long time, her heart was constantly struggling. In the end, Ziyuan seemed to have made up her mind as she raised her head and looked at Ye Fengdu with appraisal. "Monster brother! I've decided to leave with the villagers to rebuild my home. I want to inherit Master's will and protect them!!”
Towards this, Ye Fengdu gave a smile of blessing. He believed that this little girl who didn't know anything not long ago would definitely become a famous witch in the future and receive the praise of the world.
