Chapter 117 Not for killing, but for protection

"What's wrong?" Bei Qianning asked, and tried to wake Lin Xinze, but before she could get close, Lin Xinze woke up.

Awakening from a nightmare, Lin Xinze's face was streaked with tears, his expression terrified and extremely insecure. Almost as soon as he woke up, he looked around, and when he saw Ling Yi, he immediately got up and threw himself into her arms: "Sister, sob sob..."

Bei Qianning and Dongfang Jibai looked at the scene before them with some worry, but since Ling Yi didn't speak, neither of them said anything.

Ling Yi reached out to pull Lin Xinze, who was in her arms, to make him stand up straight. However, the little boy clung tightly to her clothes and refused to let go. The harder she tried, the more he resisted. Finally, she had to stop: "It was just a nightmare. What's there to cry about?"

"Waaah..." Hearing this, Lin Xinze cried even more bitterly: "But my sister is dead..."

Upon hearing this, Bei Qianning and Dongfang Jibai both looked at Ling Yi. Under their gazes, Ling Yi casually replied, "Just a dream."

Lin Xinze was still crying, and Ling Yi forcibly pulled him away, making him stand up straight: "Look at me, am I dead?"

Lin Xinze's face was covered in tears. He met Ling Yi's eyes and shook his head, sobbing.

"Why are you crying if I'm not dead?" Ling Yi took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears on his face. "If you want to cry, wait until I'm really dead."

Lin Xinze looked at Ling Yi and felt the pressure of Ling Yi wiping his face. The fear brought by the nightmare finally dissipated a little.

After wiping him clean, Ling Yi looked at Dongfang Jibai and said, "I will not return to the Dongyang Empire for the time being."

Dongfang Jibai nodded: "In that case, I will speak with my father."

"Hmm." Ling Yi responded without saying anything more, but Bei Qianning asked softly, "Xinze, besides dreaming about your sister, what else did you dream about?"

Lin Xinze glanced at Ling Yi and said, "Besides my sister, there are many other black things..."

The black things flew towards his sister, and he saw them enter her body. His sister closed her eyes, and he was terrified.

Ling Yi paused slightly upon hearing this.

She thought Lin Xinze's nightmare was another past life where she died, but now it seems that's not the case.

"Something black?" Bei Qianning and Dongfang Jibai became uneasy at the mention of something black. "Is it the same as the black mist we saw before?"

Lin Xinze nodded: "The same."

Upon hearing this, Bei Qianning and Dongfang Jibai exchanged a glance, both seeing worry in each other's eyes.

As Ling said, Xinze was just having a dream, nothing more. They shouldn't have cared about it, but... in this place, right when they discovered the demon, Xinze had that dream. You know, Xinze wasn't even awake when they were talking about it. How could it be such a coincidence that he dreamed about it?

Bei Qianning continued, "Xinze, besides the black things, what else is there?"

Lin Xinze shook his head: "No more."

He saw those black things enter his sister's body. His sister didn't move. The black things enveloped his sister, and he couldn't see her. He was very scared.

After listening, Bei Qianning and Dongfang Jibai both became serious and remained silent.

The igloo fell silent. None of the three people and the child slept until Baijiu woke up.

After waking up from the slumber, Baijiu learned that he had come up from the crack. He was silent for a while and then said, "I want to go down again. You don't need to come with me. I can go by myself."

Bei Qianning agreed.

Aunt and Bai Qingjue are buried here. They will be leaving soon, and it is only right for Jiu Jiu to go and say goodbye or pay her respects.

When the baijiu was used to heal the cracks, Dongfang Jibai and Bei Qianning immediately contacted their respective fathers and informed them of the situation in the snowfield as much as possible, especially regarding the demons and the Fengzhou Grand Array.

Upon learning this news, Emperor Dongyang said to Dongfang Jibai, "Let me speak with Ling Yi."

Ling Yi didn't want to get involved and instinctively refused, so Emperor Dongyang had to change his strategy and asked, "Ling Yi, has the source of the strange ice spirit disappeared?"

"Yes," Ling Yi replied, "It disappeared back then."

Emperor Dongyang asked, "Will it appear again?"

Ling Yi: "I don't know."

Perhaps yes, perhaps no, but since there isn't one among the younger generation of the Dongyang Empire, we can only hope for the next generation, but... there might not even be a next generation.

After all, besides the demonic aspect, the capital of the Eastern Yang Empire also has a prophecy of destruction.

Given Emperor Dongyang's actions, he would not abandon the capital; he would live and die with it. While other members of the royal family might not know the details of the emperor's departure, Emperor Dongyang's lineage would certainly not back down.

"Since you said you won't be coming back for the time being, could you tell me where you're going and when you'll be back?"

Ling Yi replied indifferently, "Your Majesty, I will not interfere in matters concerning demons. It is useless to come to me."

"Alright." Emperor Dongyang sighed, "I will not force you if you do not wish to, but I still want to say, come back soon."

Ling Yi didn't respond, and Emperor Dongyang didn't expect a response either, so he continued talking to Dongfang Jibai.

Although Dongfang Jibai said that there are demons beneath the lands of the four great empires, the Dongyang Empire has not yet made a move. Even if the Dongyang Emperor wanted to investigate, he couldn't possibly dig up the earth to find the demons. The Dongyang Empire can remain peaceful for a while, but the Beiming Empire is not so peaceful.

Upon learning the news from Bei Qianning, Emperor Beiming immediately ordered the snowfield to be sealed off, the people of Snow Village to be relocated, and troops to be stationed in Qianshuang City in preparation for what was to come.

After they finished talking, Baijiu returned. Without delay, the group immediately set off, riding the little golden tiger towards Snow Village.

On the way back, Bai Jiu noticed that Bei Qian Ning seemed preoccupied. After asking him, she learned what had happened during his coma.

After learning the situation, Baijiu remained silent for a moment before looking at Ling Yi and asking, "Ling Yi, can I come with you?"

Bei Qianning was somewhat surprised to hear this: "Jiu Jiu?"

Baijiu continued, "Lingyi, I want to be with you."

Ling Yi looked up at him: "I refuse."

Bei Qianning asked, "Jiu Jiu, why do you want to be with Ling Yi?"

Baijiu did not answer Bei Qianning's question immediately.

In their minds, demons were dangerous beings, and he possessed demonic blood, but... he was more concerned with his ability to kill demons.

He can deal with demons, and if those demons appear and do evil, he can protect Qianqian and her uncle.

He wanted to protect them.

Ling Yi knew Bai Jiu's purpose and chuckled, "You want to learn how to kill them from me, but you have demon blood in you. You are the same kind as them. Have you thought about that?"

Bai Jiu looked at Ling Yi, her tone firm: "I want to know the method, not for killing, but for protection."

Not for killing, but for protection.

Ling Yin laughed as he read those words: "Baijiu, you want to protect your uncle and the others, and your uncle wants to protect the people of the Northern Underworld Empire. From another perspective, you are protecting the people. If the demon commits evil and the people find out your identity and demand that your uncle execute you, what will you do?"
