The Holy Maiden of the Soul Devouring Clan quietly looked at the middle-aged man before her, a resolute glint in her eyes.
She took a deep breath and slowly said, "Jiuli, the current situation is extremely unfavorable to our side. If you continue to stay here, you will inevitably be implicated."
“Therefore, you must leave here immediately!” Her voice was firm and decisive, leaving no room for argument.
Jiuli looked at the Holy Maiden of the Soul Devouring Clan with a complicated expression, his eyes revealing endless sorrow and helplessness.
He sighed softly and said in a low voice, "Yes, I should have left long ago... After all, I am of no use to you anymore... Liu Ruyan, take care!"
After saying that, he resolutely turned around, transformed into a dazzling stream of light, and instantly disappeared into the horizon.
Liu Ruyan gazed in the direction Jiu Li had left, her brows furrowing slightly as she murmured softly, "I am not Liu Ruyan, but the Holy Maiden of the Soul Devouring Clan—Lingxi!"
Her eyes shone with a resolute light, as if she were declaring her identity and determination to the whole world.
"Jiuli, thank you for your companionship and support all this time. If it weren't for you, my son and I would not have survived to this day."
"I will forever remember this kindness. If we are fortunate enough to meet again in the future, I will repay it with the greatest gratitude I can!"
...
The Ice Spirit Palace's residence.
At this moment, Qin Feng, Lin Qianqian, Feng Li, and Yu Hongying, having nothing to do, stepped out of the formation and strolled around.
As he walked, Qin Feng suddenly stopped and stared intently into the jungle on his left.
He seemed to sense something was amiss, and the other three followed his gaze.
The next moment, a seven or eight-year-old boy emerged from the jungle, his appearance surprising everyone.
The little boy's eyes sparkled with a bright light. When he looked into Qin Feng's eyes, there seemed to be an inexplicable connection between them, which made Qin Feng feel a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had seen this little boy before.
Lin Qianqian and the other two women were all taken aback, their beautiful faces showing surprise and curiosity.
"How come there's a little boy here?" Lin Qianqian asked softly, her voice as melodious as heavenly music.
Feng Li carefully observed the little boy, her brows furrowing slightly: "This little boy is rather strange. He is neither human nor belongs to any race I know."
Yu Hongying continued, "What's even stranger is that he simultaneously exudes the aura of a human and a peculiar aura, yet he is definitely not human. It's truly perplexing."
Lin Qianqian and the other two girls gathered around, staring curiously at the little boy, trying to find more clues from him.
The little boy seemed a bit nervous under the scrutiny of the crowd, but he remained steadfast and unwavering.
Qin Feng slowly walked forward, squatted down, and smiled at the little boy, saying, "Little friend, what's your name? Why are you here?"
The little boy blinked his big eyes, remained silent for a moment, and then answered softly, "My name is Xiaolin, and I'm here to find my father."
Qin Feng asked, "Little friend, can you tell me your father's name?"
Xiao Lin blinked her innocent big eyes, staring curiously at Qin Feng, but instead of answering his question, she asked in return, "So what's your name?"
Qin Feng was slightly taken aback, not expecting the little guy to ask him his name. He then answered frankly, "My name is Qin Feng!"
Xiao Lin nodded and then said, "Oh! So your name is Qin Feng!"
Then he added, "But I don't know my dad's name." "Not only that, I don't even know my dad's last name!"
Qin Feng and the other three were stunned when they heard this.
They couldn't imagine that a child didn't even know his own "father's" name; it was truly pitiful.
Qin Feng asked in confusion, "Do you have a full name?"
Xiao Lin shook his head and replied, "As far back as I can remember, my mother has always called me Xiao Lin, so I don't have a full name."
Qin Feng and the other three looked at each other in bewilderment. If they were not mistaken, Xiao Lin's mother must hate Xiao Lin's father very much.
Otherwise, why wouldn't they have told Xiao Lin his full name?
Clearly, Xiaolin's mother didn't want Xiaolin to have any connection with Xiaolin's father.
However, this woman is far too selfish and cruel!
"Where is your mother?" Qin Feng asked curiously. "Did you run away from home secretly?"
Xiao Lin appears to have no cultivation level; he's just an ordinary little boy, and he's alone in such a dangerous place.
Therefore, he deduced that Xiao Lin had secretly run away.
Xiao Lin nodded and replied, "Yes, my mom is over there!"
“She wouldn’t let me come out to look for my dad, so I secretly ran away by myself.”
Qin Feng and the other three looked in the direction Xiao Lin pointed, and then they were all stunned.
Xuanling Mountain Range!
Could this little guy have run away from the Xuanling Mountains?
That place is the stronghold of extraterrestrial demons!
Could this little guy's mother be an extraterrestrial demon?
Qin Feng and the other three looked at Xiao Lin with flickering eyes, wondering if he might be a spy sent by the extraterrestrial demons. After all, the little guy's appearance was too strange.
Xiao Lin felt uneasy under the gaze of Qin Feng and the other three. He couldn't help but shrink back and said timidly, "Why...why are you staring at me like that?"
Hearing this, Qin Feng's lips curled into a wry smile. How could such a tiny little thing be a spy sent by the extraterrestrial demons? Moreover, Xiao Lin had no cultivation and did not possess the slightest aura of extraterrestrial demons.
So he smiled and said to Xiao Lin, "Don't be nervous, we just think you're cute and want to take a second look!"
Xiao Lin's expression relaxed upon hearing this, but he still snorted with some dissatisfaction: "Hmph, I'm a man, you can't describe me as 'cute'!"
Qin Feng and the other three exchanged smiles, finding the little guy utterly adorable. Then, Qin Feng looked at Xiao Lin and asked, "Is your mother in the Xuanling Mountains?"
Xiao Lin nodded. "Yes!"
Qin Feng then asked, "Is that great formation located where your mother is?"
Xiao Lin nodded again. "Mmm!"
Qin Feng frowned slightly and pressed for an answer. "Is your mother an extraterrestrial demon?"
Xiao Lin blinked, looking puzzled. "What are extraterrestrial demons?"
"I've never heard of it!"
"My mother is a Holy Maiden of the Soul Devouring Clan, her name is Lingxi!"
Qin Feng and the other three were stunned. Xiao Lin's mother was actually the Holy Maiden of the Extraterrestrial Demons?
Isn't he their biological child?
Otherwise, why would Xiao Lin not have any aura of extraterrestrial demons?
Moreover, instead of the aura of extraterrestrial demons, it also contained the aura of humans and a peculiar aura.
