Qiu Sha's gaze drifted into the distance as she continued, "I should have turned into a pile of bones, and after rotting, a beautiful Udumbara flower would have grown. Those ordinary giants who died poured their resentment into their bones, making the originally unremarkable Udumbara flower extremely poisonous."
Qiu Sha gave a mocking smile at this point, "Miss Lan, let me tell you a story."
Lu Yulan looked at the other person, unsure of what to say. She nodded slightly, feeling that Qiu Sha's next words might reveal a hidden side of the giant.
"Thank you, Miss Lan, for listening to my rambling."
Qiu Sha smiled, her whole demeanor as gentle as when they first met.
"Among the giants, the Boro Stone holds an important position. It is a sculpture of the giants' mother goddess. It can not only guide the giants when they come of age, but also show some signs during their childhood. As for me, I am someone who did not show any signs during my childhood, but I am naturally intelligent. Even though I was bullied by the giants of my generation when I was young, Henry would always appear to save me."
Qiu Sha's gaze held a hint of nostalgia. Although she always worried about whether she would really be a cripple during her childhood, her childhood crush, coupled with the fact that death seemed so far away, meant that she wasn't particularly looking forward to combat skills.
"Everything changed with the arrival of Tasha. As soon as she was born, the Bharadvaja made the instruction that she would be the wife of the next chieftain of the giant race. She was the center of attention, while I was just a mushroom growing on my own in a dark corner. I never thought anything of it until my coming-of-age ceremony at sixteen. I was really just an ordinary giant. At that time, there was no ordinary giant in the giant race who could live to adulthood. I was a miracle and an anomaly."
Qiu Sha thought that perhaps dying in childhood was a blessing for her. Her childhood was not very happy. Her only friend, Henry, was someone she had embellished countless times. Perhaps he only took care of her because he was the eldest son of the clan chief.
I was such a fool back then, actually liking someone like me.
“I was supposed to die, but adult Titans can live freely, and their life and death are not decided by their tribes. Plus, I… liked him, and I thought he liked me too, and that we could overcome everything. So, I didn’t care about the strange looks from my tribe and lived cautiously all the time.”
She believed that Henry would choose her one day.
"As you can see, he chose Tasha and casually abandoned me to someone I didn't like."
As Qiu Sha finished speaking, she clenched her fist, while Lu Yulan looked at the stone tabletop that had already developed cracks.
She frowned slightly and comforted him, "Qiu Sha, there's no need to say anymore. You deserve better. We'll leave after the assessment, so you don't need to be so sad."
That being said, Lu Yulan touched the Boro stone placed in her sleeve. Was Qiu Sha wrong, or did she remember it wrong? Boro stone is shaped like a sculpture, so what is this stone in her hand? Didn't Qiu Sha say that this is indeed a Boro stone?
"Miss Lan, you are truly wonderful. It's a pity that I will never have the chance to visit the human realm."
Qiu Sha looked at Lu Yulan with regret, "My story isn't finished yet."
"I was terrified that night, but I was still... I hated it so much, so I tried to lie low and persuaded the giants to become independent."
