Chapter 12: Mixed Blood
"Welcome home. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Li Sang happily greeted him, gently wrapping his arms around her husband's waist and speaking softly.
"I haven't seen you for almost half a month, how is everything okay at home?"
The man looked at her with concern, gently stroked her belly, and his eyes were soft with a hint of guilt:
"I haven't been able to take care of you these days, Lissan, you and the baby have worked hard. ”
Lisan shook her head and snuggled into her husband's arms, smiling happily.
"Huh...... Who is this?"
The man's gaze suddenly noticed the strange girl standing by the wall in Lissan's room, staring at him with strange eyes.
"Ah, yes, I'll introduce you. ”
Li Sang took her husband's hand and walked into the room, smiling:
"This is Qianling, when Xiaoguo ran out alone half a month ago, she brought him back thanks to Qianling's help, and now she is alone and has nowhere to go for the time being, so I asked her to stay. ”
"Qianling, this is my husband, Jinhyuk. ”
"You, hello......" After a while, Qianling's somewhat stiff voice slowly sounded.
"Hello. Jin He smiled very gently, "Thank you for Xiaoguo's matter, I haven't been at home for half a month, and thanks to you for taking care of Li Sang and them." ”
"Uh...... You're so polite, I've been taken care of by Lisan and them. Qianling scratched her head a little embarrassed, her amber eyes still staring at him vigilantly.
"Look at the way you look...... It's also a mixed race, right?" Jin Hyuk looked at her and nodded slightly, "Most of the people living in this Yinfeng River Valley are of mixed race, you don't have to be nervous or restrained, just treat this place as your home." ”
Hybrid?
Qianling blinked and slowly breathed a sigh of relief as she watched him.
The man didn't seem to see who she was.
The next morning, he went out with Li Sang, picked some fresh wild vegetables and put them in baskets, and the two of them sat on the green velvet grass by the river to rest.
Qianling looked at the dense black figures on the field, those pitch-black wings gathered behind their backs, and the slender tail spines dangling leisurely...... I felt groggy when I took a breath of cool air.
"Xiaoling?" Li Sang saw that her face was pale and restless, and she looked worried, and probed her forehead with some concern, "What's wrong with you?
Qianling hurriedly shook her head, hesitated or cautiously leaned into Li Sang's ear:
"They...... Are they all residents here?"
Li Sang followed her line of sight and nodded:
"That's right, this river valley was originally the territory of the demon clan, and the largest number of inhabitants here are the demon clan, followed by the orc clan. You don't know it, do you? A long time ago, the exiled half-bloods of the orc tribe were exiled here and accepted by the demon clan, which gradually formed the current Yinfeng River Valley. ”
"Exile?" Qianling looked at her, a little puzzled.
"Orc tribes value the purity of their blood, and those who marry with other races are often executed or exiled. ”
"Why? Children are not wrong, why do you have to kill them......? It's too cruel too. Qianling's voice was low.
"For the orcs with a strong sense of race, it is a great shame for the race with impure blood, and for the shame, it must be corrected and erased. ”
"How do you ...... like this?"
Qianling lowered her head, and suddenly understood why Li Jing and the others never asked her identity, and the people in the Yinfeng River Valley were curious but also tolerant and understanding, and never mentioned a word.
"But here it is different," Risan smiled, "and this place is mostly the descendants of the exiled half-bloods, who work and live together without distinction between them, and there are no narrow racial differences. ”
Qianling turned her head to look at the demons walking around leisurely in front of the doors of each house.
They shed the black clothes they were wearing and put on clothes similar to those of the orcs. The soft and delicate light-colored robe embellished with elegant patterns, and the soft animal skins of various colors dotted between the neckline and sleeves look no different from the people of the orc race. The pitch-black membranous wings were gathered behind him, and the dangerous tail spike had now retracted all its aggressiveness, meekly hanging behind him, swaying slightly leisurely.
They probably hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they talked and laughed with their families, fighting and chasing from time to time, and carrying the orc children around, and the laughter was endless.
Not far away, a man from the Demon Clan was happily teasing an orc child in front of him, his slender tail thorn poked an apple, dangling leisurely around the child, and the child laughed and jumped to catch the apple, causing the people around him to laugh.
Qianling looked at those laughing and struggling demons, and suddenly felt a little trance. Such a scene is familiar, harmonious, happy and pure.
It's a familiar feeling, like walking down the streets of Ellen Is, watching the children laughing and running. No...... Even in Ellens, there is no such joyful scene of a group of adults and children playing together.
Qianling lowered her head and pursed her lips slightly.
"Lisan...... You say that the Demon Clan can take in the half-blood race of the Orc Race, so they are so friendly to all races?"
Li Sang tilted his head and thought about it seriously:
"Not necessarily. ”
Qianling cautiously probed:
"That'...... What about angels?"
"Angel?" Li San's water-blue eyes blinked slightly, "As far as I know, angels and demons have fought and fought for generations, and they are enemies who share the sky. The kind of racial hatred that has been formed for thousands of years and is deeply rooted in the bone marrow is much more profound and lasting than the racial discrimination of the orcs. ”
"Why did you remember to ask this?" said Lisan as she looked at her curiously.
"I ...... I just happened to think of it. ”
"You don't have to think about it so much, angel......" Li Sang looked at the white cloud sky, his voice flowing as softly as a breeze.
"Where can we see such a holy and exalted race?"
Qianling looked at the respect in her eyes and was slightly stunned.
Looking up at the vast blue sky, the breeze gently lifted the chestnut hair in front of the forehead, and a few long strands of chestnut hair gently blew on the cheeks.
The light in her eyes dimmed slightly, and a trace of bitterness appeared on Qianling's lips.
Is it on top......
Grandpa once told her in all seriousness that the Demon Race is the most brutal and bloodthirsty race in the world, and they have great power, but they wantonly destroy and slaughter, and treat life like a mustard. The angels, who were born with the divine light feared by the dark magic, have the greatest mission to fight against demons, expel darkness, and protect the light and beauty of this world.
Qianling stared at the frolicking crowd, her eyelashes falling slightly.
However, even the cruel and tyrannical demon clan will show such a warm and bright smile when they are next to their relatives.
Although she didn't want to admit it, she actually ...... There's a little envy.
Grandpa, although Xiao Ling has lost her wings and is not an angel, she is still unwilling to go against her innate mission as an angel.
She knew that she shouldn't stay here, and if she had known that this place was the territory of the Demon Clan, she would definitely not agree to stay.
It's just that...... She really didn't know where to go or where she could go.
The world is so vast, but there is no place for her.
Qianling looked at Li Sang, who was basking in the sun warmly beside her, and a light smile appeared on her lips.
She loves this new home, these new family members, and the warmth and tolerance they give her are something that her parents have never given her. She wants to stay here and start a new life.
Forget the past, say goodbye to the past, no longer as an angel, but as an ordinary orc half-breed girl in the Bard, and live the rest of her life simply and happily.
