The Hero in Exile

"Thank you very much for your help, sir. You two should come here quickly to thank my sister."

"Thank you sister."

"Thank you sister."

As soon as I returned to the tribe, I saw an old lady getting ready to go out. When she saw Chu Xin and Yu Mo, she was delighted and ran over hurriedly, hugging them and almost crying.

After Lingyu explained to the aunt, he scolded the two children and then pulled them together to thank her. However, it was strange that his father and Chu Xin did not say that Yu Mo was not his biological sister.

"Auntie, let me ask you, why didn't their fathers see it?"

When the old lady heard this, she was stunned at first, then she looked embarrassed and sighed repeatedly, as if she had asked something she shouldn't have asked. Lingyu already vaguely regretted why she asked this.

"Chu Xin's father is my husband. He never came back after joining the army. Then Xiaoyu's parents were captured after the Demon King's City was breached. We now know where they are. Our family used to have a good relationship with their family. After they escaped, we raised them as our own children."

"You'll be back." Lingyu could only comfort her in this way.

"Girl, my house is already on fire. How about we have a meal together?"

"Is it okay? It's not a good idea to let a weirdo like me go to your house. If others see us, they might start gossiping."

I don't know why, but talking to this lady gave me the feeling of being back home. She gave me an involuntary sense of familiarity, a rare feeling of warmth since I came here.

"Although you are always wearing a cloak and I can't see what you look like, I think a girl who is willing to offend the snake tribe for these two children wouldn't be that bad. If God gives you a chance, come to my house for a meal so that I don't feel so guilty."

"Thank you, ma'am. I will obey your command."

"I'm so tired. Lingyu, what a coincidence that you look like you just got back. I missed you so much."

What was this guy saying in front of others? Lingyu had no choice but to turn around and pretend not to know this embarrassing guy.

"Master Demon, so this girl's name is Lingyu. She just promised me that she would like to come to my house for dinner. How about you come too?"

"Then please add more bowls and chopsticks."

Why did you bring this family along as well? It’s really infuriating that he just said such words but now he doesn’t care at all. Lingyu walked faster and faster in anger.

Moran couldn't help but smile as she watched Lingyu walk faster and faster with her head down. What she just said made her shy. Moran also kept silent and sped up to follow behind.

"Alas, the girl has passed by."

The house is not big but all the rooms are well-equipped, which is enough for an adult and two children. Moran sat in the living room and played with the two children.

Lingyu is responsible for helping in the kitchen, washing, cutting and preparing vegetables.

"Really? I asked you to come for dinner, but you asked me to help you."

"It's nothing to get used to. It's faster with two people."

The two children also gathered around Moran. After all, their king was telling them stories about his battles in front of them, which would make people envious if they told them about it in front of their friends.

"I just told you so much about my story. You should also tell me where Sister Lingyu took you to play this afternoon."

"Sister Lingyu is so amazing..."

……

"That's really awesome."

Although children often exaggerate and their words are not particularly clear, I can still get the general idea. The snake tribe really wants to die. Although they are not as strong as before, they have to be dealt with since they appear in front of me.

"Girl, if you get married with this skill, your future husband will be very lucky."

"You...are you kidding? I think it's pretty good to be single for life."

"Young lady, you are joking." The old lady leaned close to Lingyu's ear and said, "What do you think of the Demon King?"

Lingyu didn't say anything but washed the vegetables faster and faster.

"Okay, stop playing and sit down and eat."

Lingyu and the aunt brought bowls of food and placed them on the table. Chu Xin and Yu Mo returned to their seats. The meal was simple but they enjoyed it very much. When the door was opened, the moon shone like pearls sinking into the sea, and the stars were dotted like grains of sand.

"Lingyu where are you going?"

After the meal, Lingyu scolded Moran for eating for free and asked him to clean up the dishes.

"I'll go out for a walk and be back soon."

Lingyu was walking around to digest what she had just eaten. At some point, she felt a strange wind blowing by. This strange wind seemed to be avoiding her and was more like a human?

Plop-

Suddenly I heard the sound of something falling into the water. I turned around and looked towards the place where there was water, which was a well, but there was no one around.

"Did you encounter a ghost?"

However, I don’t seem to be afraid of ghosts. It should be said that ghosts are afraid of me. But after thinking about it, I feel scared and go back quickly.

"It was a close call that we were almost discovered." Wen Si, who was standing in the corner, panted heavily and watched Lingyu walk away.
