Qin Yan and his group bid farewell to the Old Village Chief and returned to Luo Xuanyi's home.
The Luo Xuanyi family sat together, their faces heavy with worry, a somber expression on each.
Qin Yan watched them silently, not wanting to disturb them. At this moment, they needed to carefully consider their future, whether to stay or leave.
"Husband, what should we do? Should we move from here, or..." Mother Luo asked softly, her face filled with concern.
Father Luo didn't respond immediately. He gently tapped the table with his fingers, his head bowed in thought.
Then, Father Luo looked up, first at Mother Luo, then at their children. Everyone thought he had made a decision, but then they heard him say, "What do you all think? Do you want to stay or leave?"
"We'll listen to you, of course, husband."
"Hehe, Mom's right, Dad, we'll listen to you. I don't care," Luo Fei said, quite carefree.
Luo Fei was lively, active, optimistic, and cheerful. For him, it was all the same no matter where they went.
"What about you two? Xuanyi, Xiao Bei."
"I... I can't bear to leave this place. It's suddenly hard to go, but... but..." Luo Xuanyi was very conflicted, hesitating several times, unable to make up her mind. She wavered between staying and leaving, her brows tightly furrowed,
her face full of distress. Faced with this difficult choice, internal conflict spread across her fair face, revealing a pained expression.
"Uncle Luo, I don't want to go. Xiao Bei doesn't want to leave this place." Compared to the others, Xiao Bei's expression was much calmer. In her heart, she already had an answer. For her, this place was everything;
it held the most beautiful memories and things her Grandmother left her. She wanted to protect all of it, so it was absolutely impossible for her to give up this place and choose to leave.
"Sigh!" Seeing this, Father Luo shook his head and sighed softly, as if he had already anticipated their answer.
"Hm? What's wrong, Luo Xuanyi?" Qin Yan noticed Luo Xuanyi kept glancing at him, as if she had something to say, so he asked.
"I... I want to..." Luo Xuanyi stammered for a long time, unable to form a complete sentence.
"It's alright, just say what you want to say!" Qin Yan gave her an encouraging look.
Hearing this, Luo Xuanyi stared intently into Qin Yan's eyes, took a deep breath, and then said, "I want to ask you, what are your plans next? How long will you be staying here?"
Luo Xuanyi's words made Qin Yan freeze for a moment. Seeing her nervous expression, Qin Yan probably understood what she meant, let out a chuckle, and then told her, "I won't be leaving here for now.
It could be as short as two or three months, or as long as four or five years. So you don't need to rush your decision. I won't leave here for now. If any Demon Race powerhouses come again, I will deal with them myself. You all still have time to consider, prepare, and make arrangements."
"Really?" Luo Xuanyi asked, her face lighting up with joy. She excitedly jumped off the stool, leaning close to Qin Yan's face, looking at him with anticipation, waiting for his reply.
"Hm, really." Qin Yan nodded blankly in response. Seeing Luo Xuanyi suddenly press close to him, he quickly leaned his head back, afraid she might bump into him. She really doesn't need to be this excited, does she?
"Oh yeah, this is great, I love you, Qin Yan!" Receiving the answer, Luo Xuanyi happily hugged Qin Yan, rubbing her cheek against his head repeatedly, which made Qin Yan quite speechless.
"Since Qin Yan said so, then let's stay and see for now, okay, Dad?" After tormenting Qin Yan's head for a while, Luo Xuanyi looked up and said to Father Luo, her eyes full of pleading.
"Alright! Alright! Alright! Dad knows. You child, look at what you've done to Young Friend Qin Yan. Hurry up and let him go."
"It's fine! Uncle." Qin Yan waved his hand, not minding it. It was also because he understood her feelings that she acted this way.
"Pfft pfft pfft!" Hearing this, Luo Xuanyi first stuck out her little tongue, then realized her impropriety and quickly let go of Qin Yan, profusely apologizing to him nearby.
With a slap, Father Luo slammed his hand on the table, then stood up and announced, "Alright! Since that's the case, we won't leave for now. I've thought about it, even if our family hurriedly moved somewhere else,
unfamiliar with the people and surroundings, it wouldn't necessarily be better than our current situation. So, let's take advantage of the time Qin Yan is still here to arrange everything properly! Once we're fully prepared, it won won't be too late to leave then. What do you think, wife?"
"Yes, I'll listen to you," Mother Luo said with a smile, also very happy to stay.
"Oh yeah! We don't have to move!" Luo Fei also jumped up happily, as if moving was an extremely troublesome matter for him.
Xiao Bei, though not as excited, also had a wide smile on her face.
Afterward, the family became lively again, returning to their usual harmonious atmosphere.
Qin Yan saw that it was getting late and it was almost time to rest, so he said to everyone, "It's getting late. It's almost time to sleep. Let's wash up and go to bed. We can talk about anything tomorrow."
"Mm-hm, indeed, it's late today. Children, get ready to rest!" Luo Fei also stood up and said.
"Okay, then we'll go tidy up the rooms," the two girls said.
"Qin Yan, what's this little girl's name? Leave her to Auntie! She hasn't bathed today, has she? Auntie will take her to wash up." At this moment, Mother Luo looked at Li Ya nearby and asked.
Hearing this, Qin Yan looked at Mother Luo, then at the little one, feeling a bit conflicted. He was worried that Xiao Li Ya might accidentally hurt Mother Luo, but not bathing was also not an option.
Sigh, never mind. Qin Yan sighed, thinking that this step had to be taken eventually. So he made up his mind, but still needed to instruct the little girl.
So Qin Yan said to the little girl beside him, "Xiao Li Ya, you'll go with this Auntie to take a bath later, okay?"
"What's a bath? Can you eat it?" Hearing Qin Yan's words, the little girl tilted her head, sucking her little hand, and asked in a childish voice.
"Hahahaha!" The cute scene of the little girl made everyone burst into laughter.
Qin Yan was also quite speechless; this little girl only thought about eating.
"Alright, I'll do it!" Mother Luo said with a smile, walking over. She then squatted in front of Xiao Li Ya and said to her kindly, "Your name is Xiao Li Ya, right? What a cute child. Bathing isn't eating! It's just taking off your clothes, soaking in water, and getting all clean."
"Oh oh! Okay!" Hearing that it wasn't food, the little girl immediately looked disappointed.
However, she agreed to let Mother Luo bathe her, which made Qin Yan breathe a sigh of relief. He thought that if the little girl didn't agree, he would have to bathe her himself.
"When you go in with Auntie later, don't make trouble, okay? And don't be touchy-feely with Auntie, you know? Otherwise, big brother will get angry!" Qin Yan instructed Xiao Li Ya.
Li Ya looked at Qin Yan, then at Mother Luo. Perhaps because Mother Luo had just cut her some roasted meat, the little girl's gaze towards Mother Luo no longer held the same hostility as before. She then nodded and softly said, "Okay."
"Alright! Auntie Qin, thank you for your trouble. You can take her now." Seeing Xiao Li Ya's expression, Qin Yan felt it was okay, so he said to Mother Luo.
"Haha, alright! What are you saying! No trouble at all, Auntie is happy to. Come, Xiao Li Ya, Auntie will take you over!" The first sentence was for Qin Yan, and the second was for the little girl. After speaking, Mother Luo extended her calloused hand, signaling the little girl to take it.
"Mm!" The little girl looked at Mother Luo, nodded, and extended her tender little hand to grasp hers.
"Haha! How cute. Then we'll go now." Mother Luo smiled and said, then turned and greeted everyone before holding the little girl's hand and walking towards the bathroom.
"Okay!" Qin Yan nodded in response.
After watching them enter, Qin Yan exhaled, finally having settled things. Afterward, he exchanged a few more pleasantries with everyone, and then they all went about their business.
...
Far away in a dark and terrifying Demon Palace in the west, the Demon Kings, who had just dispersed not long ago, were gathered again. However, two of them were now missing.
"Eighth Brother and Ninth Brother are dead too." A deep, sinister demonic voice echoed in the main hall, seemingly suppressing an unknown fury.
Immediately, cold, ghostly lights flashed from pairs of eyes in the surrounding dark space, and the atmosphere instantly became heavy and eerie.
"In less than a day, we've lost three Demon Kings. This hasn't happened in hundreds of years. I think we need to treat this seriously."
Hearing this, the Demon Kings looked grim, realizing that the Demon Race had probably encountered big trouble.
"Damn it, someone is clearly targeting our Demon Race. Who did this?" one Demon King roared loudly, a powerful aura erupting from his body, sweeping through the entire hall.
"Could it be that they made a move?"
Hearing this, the Demon Kings' bodies trembled slightly, appearing somewhat apprehensive.
"Unlikely. They cannot interfere with mortal affairs so casually."
"Alright, everyone, stop making wild guesses. I will decide after I meet Great Demon King Caesar. Before that, do not act rashly. Tell the demon spawn below to behave themselves for a while." The leading Demon King finally said.
"Yes, Big Brother!" The Demon Kings responded in unison, then dispersed and vanished into the darkness.
