Chu Xinqiao decided to go out for a walk to clear her head.
The border has changed dramatically.
At least it's no longer a deathly still place, with wounded people everywhere.
As she walked down the street, she lost all her stunning beauty and charm, becoming just an ordinary passerby.
Chu Xinqiao saw several groups of people dressed in the same clothes.
They may come from a certain faction.
Some were taciturn, some looked worried, and some had eyes full of sorrow.
War is no good.
But on the eve of peace, war is inevitable.
She seemed to see countless familiar figures, their spirits high, just like her own in the past; some had deep eyes, just like them now.
It's nothing like the carefree days of youth.
Chu Xinqiao, who was wandering aimlessly, suddenly trembled.
She saw a dirty-looking girl.
She has two horns on her head and is a child of the demon race.
She huddled in the corner, ignored by everyone, her head bowed, too afraid to look at anyone.
She was just like... when she first met Xinyu.
Chu Xinqiao squatted down in front of her and slowly asked, "Child of the Demon Clan, who let you in?"
The formidable human stronghold is home to the offspring of an enemy.
Her dirty body trembled even more, and she dared not lift her little head, burying it deeper into the ground, helpless, powerless, and terrified.
"I...I don't know, please...don't kill me...please."
She slowly raised her head, revealing a pair of... emerald green eyes.
Her eyes are beautiful and clear.
A child of demons and elves.
At the same time, a person suddenly walked towards Chuxin Bridge.
He was dressed in magnificent clothes, clearly a member of a prominent clan.
“This fellow soldier, I am Gai Chun, the second prince of the Undying Dynasty. She is a half-demon and half-elf, and I find her quite intriguing. I brought her in here, and I left her here to temper her wildness so that I can take her as a slave in the future.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Xinqiao slowly shifted her gaze to Gai Chun.
An immortal dynasty, no wonder.
The Undying Dragon Emperor is a true immortal powerhouse, and it's understandable that his offspring are here, and that the Scepter of Heaven brought in a demon girl.
Gai Chun felt uneasy for some reason as he was looked at by the woman who appeared to be nothing out of the ordinary.
It seems that her ordinary side is just a disguise.
Gai Chun quickly added, "My father is currently at the front lines. Please, my comrade, be rational."
Soon, Gai Chun was dumbfounded.
The disguised Chu Xinqiao simply floated over with one sentence: "I've taken a liking to her. Name your price."
Upon hearing this, the dirty little demon girl on the ground trembled again, wishing she could bury her head in her arms.
She had no home, she was so cold, so hungry, so full of hatred...
Gai Chun frowned slightly. The person in front of him actually knew that his father, the Undying Dragon Emperor, was on the front line, and even wanted to snatch him away.
Although he was slightly annoyed, he did not lose his manners: "I wonder... what do you want her to take it for?"
Chu Xinqiao immediately snorted coldly.
"What are you going to do with her? Sell her to Yichun Garden. Once she's rotten, kill her, use her flesh and blood for alchemy, her bones for dogs, and her hair and skin for carpets. Remember, she's a demon, so don't treat her like a human..."
The little girl heard it.
She seems to know what her future holds.
So cold... So hungry... This is really cruel.
Upon hearing this, Gai Chun's expression changed.
"Impossible, I won't sell her. She's still somewhat useful to me."
Chu Xinqiao simply sneered, "Truly utterly foolish. When the demons breach the fortified pass, do you expect them to show any pity for your wife and children?"
Upon hearing this, the boy looked down at the demon girl who was curled up on the ground like a young beast.
The hatred between demons and humans...
Not to mention him, even his father was helpless.
But what does all this hatred have to do with this little girl?!
His gaze was resolute as he stared intently at Chu Xinqiao: "Does she have to die simply because of her background?!"
...
Their argument quickly attracted the attention of many people around them.
The onlookers didn't reply, but were deep in thought.
These words struck a chord with all of them: just because they were born into the demon race, did they have to die?
A fierce glint flashed in Chu Xinqiao's eyes: "Truly utterly foolish. If she were born a human, wouldn't she be destined to die in the eyes of the demons? You are more saintly than a woman. Your father fought for the human race, yet you adopted the enemy's child out of a shred of pity. Does your saintly heart do justice to your father? Does it do justice to your race?!"
Hatred...
Not only did the little demon girl harbor hatred in her heart, but even the onlookers around her also harbored hatred.
Before the Human King's Palace, the demons treated humans like sheep, slaughtering and raising them!
Gai Chun immediately retorted, "No, this isn't about being a saint. Are we supposed to direct our hatred at a little girl?!"
He felt utterly terrible.
I should have known better than to leave the little girl here.
There were already quite a few people gathered here, and soon a member of the Human King's Palace came out.
"Gentlemen, she is considered a prisoner of war. The prisoner-of-war camp has not yet been built, so there is no need to argue."
And it dispersed the crowd of onlookers.
However, such a situation has prompted many people to reflect deeply.
That is...
Should we remember the hatred and exterminate them all, or should we have mercy and leave them a way out?
