Shi Hengan lay in the cage, glanced sideways with difficulty, and saw the girl's heartless back as she left.
The real pain and magma-like hatred seemed to have minced him into a pulp. Blood kept flowing from the corners of his lips. The seemingly pitying eyes of the people around him made him want to crush the entire world to ashes.
Time loses its measure at this moment.
"Is that the monster from the Shi family?"
"Oh my god! He has three eyes!"
"How scary! Stay away from him!"
"All monsters deserve to die!"
"Mom, this monkey is so big!"
"Is he really Miss Shi's brother? Miss Shi looks like a fairy from heaven, and he...he is scarier than a wild boar..."
As the ground shook, words of disgust, fear, curiosity, and hatred began to be heard from all around.
Blood slowly began to flow from Shi Heng'an's eyes.
But even so, he did not close his eyes.
"Hit him!"
“So disgusting!”
"Beat him to death!"
The troublemaking crowd was stopped by the guards, but the noise could not be stopped.
Shi Hengan heard it safely.
There is not a single loophole in a single sentence.
Red flames burned from the palms of his hands, perhaps for a second, perhaps for an hour, engulfing his entire body.
He could no longer bear the pain, and raised his head and let out a loud roar. Flames filled the sky and overflowed from the cage, and the cage turned to ashes in an instant.
"Ah——" the crowd screamed in horror.
But Shi Hengan didn't even look at them, and his figure disappeared in an instant.
…
After arranging the guards to follow the plot points, Shi Wuqing turned around and walked into the mansion.
The wind has died down, but thick fog is gradually rising in the sky and the temperature is getting lower. I wonder if it will rain later.
As she walked, she couldn't help shivering.
"I told you to wear more clothes." Xiao Xi said coldly, but at the same time, a heat spread from it to Shi Wuqing's whole body.
Shi Wuqing curved her eyes and said, "Thank you, Xiaoxi."
She felt cold as she just walked out of the house, but because she had to finish the plot before the male protagonist gained power and it had to be completed in the early morning, she didn't reply to put on clothes.
Because the male protagonist became powerful so quickly, she had to complete this task in advance, because if she waited until that point in the plot... then she would not be able to complete this plot point at all.
Shi Wuqing didn't let her maid follow her out, so she was alone at the moment.
She held the lantern and walked slowly forward.
The morning mist made everything around us glow with a rich white, and every step we took seemed like we were stepping on clouds and then falling from a height of ten thousand meters.
Some houses in the mansion already had lights on. Shi Wuqing looked up and the wind blew her long hair up. Her eyes were bright, clear, and empty.
Xiao Xi transformed into a human form.
The white-haired girl tilted her head. She could feel the body temperature of the people around her, but for some reason, in this morning covered by thick fog, she felt that the girl named Shi Wuqing was so far away.
It is so far away that it seems as if it will turn into a part of the white mist at any time and disappear in the world.
"Xiao Xi, what's wrong?"
The human lady looked at her, half of her face hidden in the darkness where the candlelight could not reach.
"You are unhappy." Xiaoxi said lightly.
"Cough cough..." She seemed to be feeling unwell. She covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves and coughed twice before she said in a hoarse voice, "I'm fine...I'll be fine eventually."
Xiaoxi didn't quite understand what this meant. She vaguely felt that this meant more than just what it seemed.
But what exactly it meant, maybe she would have to wait until later to understand.
"It's because of Shi Hengan." Xiaoxi already knew the name of the "monster" that everyone was talking about. He was of the same kind as her, a demon clan member, but Xiaoxi didn't care.
What makes her more emotional is not the other person's injuries, but the sadness caused to the people in front of her every time the other person is injured.
Shi Wuqing smiled.
Xiao Xi knew that she didn't want to talk more, so she changed the subject: "I'll help you carry the lantern."
Shi Wuqing handed it to her.
Xiaoxi took it.
In the heavy fog, visibility gradually decreased and the road seemed to have no end.
A little fairy with white hair and rabbit ears was holding a lantern, and a lady with black hair and thin clothes followed behind her.
Xiaoxi gradually developed a sense of stability. She thought that it would be okay if her life continued like this forever and she didn't return to the tribe.
They walked forward.
In a higher dimension, the system looked at the two in silence.
"I'm fine...I'll be fine."
Xiaoxi might think that Shi Wuqing was saying that things will always get better.
But it knows more and understands what this means.
——For Shi Wuqing, no matter what happens, no matter what kind of emotions she has, in the end, it will always become "nothing."
She was sad, confused, sympathetic, frightened, and self-blaming.
She has no emotions.
——She will be fine.
Perhaps such a person is also a monster to some extent?
