Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

Mo Hanshang was stunned and looked at the child in front of him with surprise and suspicion.

How does his brain work? Is this the time to ask people?

But the child just looked at him quietly, waiting for his reply.

"...My younger brother." Mo Hanshang still answered.

Qin Xiao understood and nodded.

It seems that he is the one who took Mo Hanyu away.

Qin Xiao sighed, seeming a little helpless.

"Give him my regards."

Before he finished speaking, lightning flashed in his hand, smashing the blade behind him into pieces in an instant.

The feeling of the attribute was reflected on the man, and he trembled all over and looked at Qin Xiao in surprise: "Evil cultivator?!"

Before the man could make any move, his back suddenly sank, and someone approached him without him noticing!

Liu Mu was shocked. He was about to cut Qin Jiuyuan's throat, but someone held it tightly. He turned back suddenly, but met a pair of black and white eyes. The next second, he felt a pinching pain at the back of his neck, and with a "crack", blood spurted out. He had no time to react at all. His perspective turned suddenly and he saw his own bleeding neck, and -

...a body without a head.

Qian broke the man's neck and then tore his head off. Blood spurted out from the headless body, staining half of Qian's white skirt red.

Qin Jiuyuan saw that the attributes on her chin suddenly disappeared and her body also improved. She was happy at first, but then she fell suddenly. She was not prepared for a moment and fell backwards uncontrollably after landing on the beach.

A cold hand embraced her from behind and helped her stand steadily.

Qin Jiuyuan was about to turn around to thank him, but the man covered his eyes.

"Children shouldn't see these." The girl's voice without any fluctuations sounded in Qin Jiuyuan's ears.

Qin Jiuyuan immediately smelled a strong smell of blood.

The crowd burst into sharp screams, and some even rolled their eyes and fainted.

Qian covered Qin Jiuyuan's eyes with one hand, and held the man's still bleeding head with the other hand. She looked at the stunned Mo Hanshang, raised her hand and threw the head over.

The black head drew a bloody parabola in the air, fell to the ground and rolled several times, finally stopping in front of Mo Hanshang's feet.

Qin Xiao didn't expect Qian to do such a bloody thing, and he strode over there.

Qin Jiuyuan's body was inevitably stained with blood, and her originally beautiful little skirt suddenly looked a bit scary, like a little skirt that suddenly appeared in a haunted house in a horror story.

Qian's body was covered in large patches of blood, some of which even splashed onto her face. Combined with her expressionless face, she looked particularly eerie.

Qin Xiao ran up to the two of them, bent down to wipe the blood off their faces, then followed Qian's hand and held Qin Jiuyuan in his arms.

Qian looked at the blood on her body and seemed a little guilty. Before Qin Xiao could say anything, she suddenly disappeared in front of him.

【sister?】

Qin Xiao immediately called out in his mind.

【…Yes.】 Qian replied reluctantly.

Qin Xiao sighed and glanced at Mo Hanshang who was collecting the head, feeling that the situation was a bit tricky.

He finally used his attributes. He didn't want Mo Hanshang to see it...

[Are you not hurt? ]

【No no. 】

Ji Meng, who was watching the fun from the side, was speechless.

Didn't you see that she looked like she might get hurt? How could she get hurt in that part?

The headless corpse suddenly fell to the ground, and the spurting blood seeped into the gravel, staining it a bright red.

The onlookers saw the bloody scene and immediately dispersed, fearing that they would be involved in the scandal. Some of them secretly took out a metal block and just as they were about to point it at this side, they were blown away by the wind.

Mo Hanshang waved his hand and cut all the metal blocks into pieces: "No one is allowed to spread what happened today."

Some people wanted to object, but Mo Hanshang took out a dark golden token and flashed it to the crowd. The crowd immediately dispersed like a sand table.

"Jiu Yuan!"

Qin Jinyi arrived breathlessly and was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.

Qin Xiao held Qin Jiuyuan in his arms, looked at him, and walked towards him.

Qin Jinyi was stunned for only a moment, then frowned uncomfortably. The strong smell of blood made him feel a little nauseous.

Mo Hanshang waved his hand, and the corpse was instantly cut into hundreds of pieces by the wind blades, flying into the air and thrown into the sea.

Qin Xiao checked Qin Jiuyuan's body again and was relieved when he saw that there was nothing unusual.

Mo Hanshang looked at Qin Xiao deeply. Even though the girl came and went suddenly, he could still see that all this was related to this child.

Qin Jinyi had a complicated expression and a bit of a headache.

Qin Yingying, who was standing behind him, was also stunned when she saw this scene.

"Jiuyuan, are you okay?" Qin Yingying hurriedly went up to her and asked with concern.

Qin Jiuyuan only felt a little pain in the wound on his neck, but nothing else. When he heard Qin Yingying's question, he shook his head and said, "Nothing."

"You're still okay?" Qin Jinyi lifted him up from Qin Xiao's hand, frowning, "Your neck was scratched and the flesh is almost exposed, and you're still okay?"

Qin Jinyi got a headache when he saw Qin Jiuyuan’s bloody neck.

"...That's yours, second brother." Qin Jiuyuan smiled ingratiatingly.

Qin Jinyi was angry and helpless: "Didn't I tell you to follow your third brother closely? What about you? You run faster than anyone else when you're not paying attention. Although Yingying told me that it was your third brother who proposed it, how could I not know you? It must be because you ran around as soon as you arrived at the market, and Qin Xiao couldn't keep up with you, so he told Yingying, right?!"

Qin Xiao: ...

Qin Jiuyuan: ...

Qin Jiuyuan turned her face away guiltily.

Qin Xiao wanted to explain: "That's right——"

"Third brother, shut up! Don't protect her. You should teach her a lesson!" Qin Jinyi became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. His eyes were as sharp as torches, as if there was thunder hidden in them, and he said angrily.

Qin Xiao shut his mouth.

Although Qin Xiao shut up, Qin Jinyi still pointed the gun at him: "Let's not talk about her first, let's talk about you? What if you are held hostage by so many people in the market? No matter how confident you are in your own abilities, you are only a ten-year-old child. What would you do if you encounter such a thing?!"

Qin Xiao wanted to refute. He had seen many people with this kind of strength. Although he had never experienced such a thing as hostage-taking, he felt that if he encountered such a thing, he would be able to handle it by himself, and it would not take that long at all...

But looking at Qin Jinyi's expression, Qin Xiao swallowed his rebuttal.

Qin Jinyi's face showed anger but also a hint of fear.

Qin Yun'an, who was following behind Qin Jinyi, had a strange look on his face. He stared at Qin Xiao in surprise, as if he had discovered some new world. Then he looked at Qin Jinyi again, feeling that he was joking.

With his strength, who can hold him hostage?

But seeing the atmosphere, Qin Yun'an tactfully did not speak and stood quietly behind Qin Jinyi as a background board.

Qin Jiuyuan nodded timidly, lowered his head and dared not utter a word.

"What is your relationship with that girl just now?" A voice suddenly came in. Qin Xiao turned around and found that it was the young man named Mo Hanshang.

Mo Hanshang was looking at him, his black pupils were deep, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"...I don't know him." Qin Xiao's expression remained unchanged, "I'm surprised too."

Surprised? Mo Hanshang smiled with his face but his heart was not smiling. It was clear that he was not surprised at all just now, and he was even very calm.

"Then why did she save me?" Qin Jiuyuan raised her head curiously, then lowered her head after meeting Qin Jinyi's gaze.

"...I don't know. If I can see her again, I should be able to thank her." Qin Xiao turned his head and spoke in a steady tone.

If you only listen to what he says and watch his expression, you might really be fooled.

Unfortunately, except for Qin Jiuyuan, no one else present could be easily deceived.

But smart people always understand the atmosphere very well, and know what to say and what to do at the right time, and what to ask and what not to ask.

So Qin Yun'an stood aside in silence without saying a word. Qin Yingying kept staring at Qin Jiuyuan and didn't seem to notice their strange atmosphere.

Qin Jinyi hesitated to speak, glanced at the bewildered Qin Jiuyuan, and sighed in his heart: "Yingying, take Jiuyuan with you first. If you want to play, go around. If not, go home. Uncle, please take care of them. We have something to do here."

Qin Yun'an agreed immediately. Maybe it was because Qin Jinyi's call of "uncle" touched his heart, but he couldn't help but smile.

Qin Xiao glanced at him with some disgust.

Qin Yingying was stunned for a moment, then agreed and took Qin Jiuyuan's hand.

Qin Jiuyuan asked weakly: "Second brother...can't you help me recover——"

"No." Qin Jinyi refused coldly, his face sullen, "Just think of it as a lesson for you, so that you don't walk around like a lunatic next time... Speaking of which, you've been awakened for more than two years, how come your cultivation is so bad? You actually-"

Qin Jiuyuan trembled all over, and pulled Qin Yingying to run away: "I, I know, I'm sorry, second brother... I will definitely remember this time."

As he said this, he thought of something and smiled sweetly at Qin Yun'an behind him: "Uncle, can you wait for us to bandage it before you come out?"

Qin Yun'an's heart melted when he heard Qin Jiuyuan's soft and pitiful voice, and he agreed in one breath: "Of course, I'll go with you..."

Looking at their figures gradually walking away, Qin Xiao's mind was racing, thinking about how to explain to Qin Jinyi.

"You know, there is a secret technique among the Corpse Binders that requires taking the bodies of children under ten years old, hollowing out their internal organs, and forcibly attaching their souls to their bodies to create dangerous puppets." Mo Hanshang suddenly spoke, his voice ringing only in the ears of the three of them, "That person just now, was not a living person, right?"

Qin Xiao turned back suddenly, his eyes cold: "Do you suspect that I am a corpse binder?"

"There is no sound of heartbeat from that girl. I think you know better than me." Mo Hanshang looked at him with an unchanged expression. "Whether it is or not, do you know Yuhua's attitude towards the Corpse Binder?"

Qin Xiao tightened his fingers slightly and his eyes darkened.

"What do you want to do?"

For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.

"I'm just reminding you, kid." Mo Hanshang suddenly said with a fake smile, and he actually stepped back a little from his tone. "If anyone noticed the girl's abnormality just now, they could report that your family is hiding a corpse binder. Yuhua's attitude towards corpse binders has always been to kill them without mercy. Anyone who has any connection with them will be caught."

Qin Xiao fell silent, his bangs drooped, and the expression in his eyes could not be seen clearly.

[…Have I gotten into trouble?] Qian was a little uneasy, she realized something was wrong.

Qin Xiao did not answer, but stared at Mo Hanshang in a gloomy manner.

[Or I can come out——]

[No need.] This time Qin Xiao interrupted her before she finished speaking.

Mo Hanshang looked at him and said, "I know you just came from that place. You can do whatever you want in that place, but it's different here. Once you use such means, you will be labeled as a corpse binder, and the person who reports you will not care about why you did it."

Qin Xiao didn't say anything, and his heart gradually calmed down.

Mo Hanshang had no intention of delving into the matter further.

Qin Jinyi obviously heard it as well. His originally uneasy heart was half relieved, but he still stared at them with a knotted brow.

"I will convey your words to you." Finally, Mo Hanshang responded, "But you'd better be careful. Even if people know that you are an evil cultivator, it's better than a corpse binder."

Qin Xiao nodded silently.

Mo Hanshang said nothing more and looked at Qin Jinyi. Facing Mo Hanshang's gaze, Qin Jinyi paused and whispered to Qin Xiao: "You go first, be careful and don't go too far, I will find you later."

Qin Xiao's eyes swept between the two of them, said nothing, and turned and left.

[…Is the problem solved?] Qian asked timidly.

[It should be.] Qin Xiao turned around and glanced at Mo Hanshang, [He had no intention of pursuing the matter.]

Qian took a deep breath [That’s good. ]

"...Senior." Qin Jinyi retracted his gaze and looked at Mo Hanshang, "What's the matter?"

"I'm sorry about what happened this time." Mo Hanshang knew that this incident was caused by his own mistake, so he bowed his head and apologized.

Qin Jinyi looked at the bustling crowd, his eyes fixed: "I'm afraid we can't hide what happened today."

Mo Hanshang didn't reply.

"What's so special about Liu Mu that you can't catch up with him?"

"It's nothing special." Mo Hanshang mentioned this, his face turned cold, "I raised a demon beast, and it pestered me for a while when I was trying to escape. In just a moment, I let it slip away."

"World of Warcraft?" Qin Jinyi was puzzled.

"It's a specialty of Dead Hill, the Tiger Claw Eagle."

Qin Jinyi's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't respond.

"Although I don't know if it's someone from their side... but if someone from Wangqiu is really involved in Liu Mu's plan, it will definitely not end well." Mo Hanshang said, and he was a little gloating. "If this is true, Wang Ji will have a lot of work to do."

Qin Jinyi glanced at him unexpectedly: "You seem quite happy?"

Mo Hanshang was aware of this: "I am just gloating over someone else's misfortune."

Qin Jinyi laughed, shook his head gently, looked around, and didn't want to be the monkey being watched, so he pulled Mo Hanshang to find another place to talk.

"You came here this time... Liu Mu is dead, isn't it time for you to leave too?" Qin Jinyi had just finished speaking when he felt an arm around his shoulders. When he turned around, he felt a furry touch beside his ears.

Mo Hanshang leaned against Qin Jinyi's face and rubbed it intimately twice. Noticing that his body was a little stiff, he could only restrain himself helplessly: "Have you thought about what I asked you before?"

Hearing this, Qin Jinyi's eyes darkened and he fell silent.

"…Senior, I am a man, and so are you. Let's—"

"Of course I know about this." Mo Hanshang glanced at him, raised the hand hanging on his shoulder and pinched his face, "So I said at the time, I also thought about it for a long time before I confessed to you."

Hearing this, Qin Jinyi couldn't help but frown, feeling a little uncomfortable, and asked softly, "Can't we really just be friends like before?"

Mo Hanshang smiled: "What do you think?"

Qin Jinyi lowered his eyes and did not answer.

The atmosphere stagnated, and after a moment's silence, Mo Hanshang spoke first.

"Forget it, I'll give you some time to think about it." As he spoke, he stroked Qin Jinyi's face with his finger, and his tone was a little more ambiguous, "You can tell me anytime when you have thought it through."

Qin Jinyi pursed her lips and didn't reply.
