Chapter 495: Chapter 495: The Things You Love Are Worth Protecting

After breakfast, Qin Yi originally planned to go to the Duan Family, but unexpectedly, Duan Yunfan came first.

"Duan Yunfan, what are you doing here?" Duan Yiyi asked curiously.

Duan Yunfan was speechless: "Call me brother."

"Wait until your cultivation surpasses mine."

Duan Yunfan immediately deflated; his talent was far inferior to Duan Yiyi’s, surpassing him was a pipe dream.

"You’re here to find your little husband, huh?"

Duan Yunfan looked at Qin Yi: "Qin Yi, good that you’re here."

"What’s happened? Sit down and tell me."

Duan Yunfan sat down and spoke anxiously: "In the past two weeks, there have been dozens of disappearances in Yinfeng City."

"Yinfeng City, although a third-tier city, has millions of people. Isn’t it normal for several dozen to go missing? Perhaps they’ve been trafficked?" Duan Yiyi leaned over and remarked.

"Go away, I don’t have time for jokes with you." Duan Yunfan glared at Duan Yiyi, then looked at Qin Yi: "Most of the missing are young girls, and some are newborn babies."

Qin Yi’s face hardened.

Duan Yunfan’s expression was grave: "We’ve been investigating for several days and finally found some clues. This might be related to those demons."

Qin Yi’s heart skipped a beat: "You mean the Soul-devouring Demons and Earth Demons?"

Duan Yunfan nodded: "These demons are hard to deal with. My dad sent me to find you to see if there’s any way to track them down."

Qin Yi said solemnly: "We were just discussing this too. This is not only related to the Soul-devouring Demons and Earth Demons, but also some beasts assisting them."

"You mean someone is helping these demons?"

Qin Yi slightly nodded: "Cheng Yongnan, he used to be Zhang Wenhao’s man, but now he’s suddenly betrayed. Go back and tell your father to have someone keep an eye on him, especially at Chen Guang Bar. Let me know immediately if you find any clues."

"Alright, I’ll handle it right away."

After seeing Duan Yunfan off, Qin Yi’s eyes were cold, killing intent flashing.

"These beasts, actually harming infants, truly deserve death." Duan Yiyi was full of rage.

"We must quickly find the Earth Demons and Soul-devouring Demons, or more people might be harmed." Qin Yi’s eyes were icy.

"Husband, those newborn babies are so pitiful, you must find those demons and eliminate them." Even Xia Yanbing was moved to murder.

"Those demons are indeed loathsome, but those helping them are even more despicable." Lin Hongzhuang was furious.

Even the always-kind Qin Wan’er was full of anger: "Dozens of young girls and children, who knows how many families they’ve destroyed. Their parents must be heartbroken. Brother, you must find a way to eliminate these demons."

Qin Yi nodded slightly, eyes filled with killing intent.

"I’ll help you." Yun Mengyao came over.

"Hmm?"

Yun Mengyao’s pretty face was filled with a chilling aura: "I’m not helping you, but those innocent humans."

Qin Yi slightly nodded, indifferent to who helps, as long as those demons are eliminated.

Actually, Qin Yi was filled with regret because the root of all this lay with him. It was he who opened the door to disaster, allowing the demons to come to Earth, causing harm to innocent families.

He was the true culprit who harmed those innocent families.

...

...

Late at night, the starry sky was brilliant.

Neon lights flashed, showcasing the city’s splendor.

In the sky, two figures stood, it was Qin Yi and Yun Mengyao.

Qin Yi had undone Yun Mengyao’s sealing, restoring her cultivation.

The two stood atop Chen Guang Bar, Yun Mengyao’s Seven-Colored Cloud Wings were too dazzling, easily drawing attention, so Qin Yi used a technique to temporarily mask their glow.

Yun Mengyao looked at the intertwined neon lights below and suddenly said: "Earth is truly beautiful."

"Under this beautiful facade, who knows how much sin is hidden." Qin Yi said indifferently.

Yun Mengyao gently flapped the wings on her back, occasionally stirring up a few whirlwinds, softly saying: "Where there’s sunshine, there must be shadows, that’s unavoidable. But, we shouldn’t deny the beauty; instead, strive to protect it."

Qin Yi looked at her: "Why so sentimental all of a sudden?"

"That’s because you’ve never been to the Primordial world. If you grew up in a world filled with war and blood, you’d long for a peaceful and beautiful place too."

"Earth is a sanctuary for me, a paradise, I like it here. What’s worth liking should be protected with all one’s heart."

Qin Yi was silent. He indeed hadn’t been to the Primordial world, but he could imagine it was a world full of blood and terror, just from those demons who came to Earth.

"Once the issue with the Heavenly Defect is resolved, you can stay on Earth."

Yun Mengyao slowly shook her head: "If possible, I would love to live on this beautiful planet. But eventually, I’m the Saintess of the Feather Clan, carrying the future of the Feather Clan. Everyone has their own mission and responsibility."

"Marrying into the Golden Winged Roc Clan’s Saint Heir is probably for the Feather Clan too?"

Yun Mengyao nodded gently.

"I can help you, if you don’t want to, you don’t have to marry him, I promise no one can force you."

Yun Mengyao looked at Qin Yi surprised: "Why help me?"

Qin Yi was stunned, indeed, why did he want to help her?

"You help me protect Earth, I’ll help you escape the abyss, I’m a person who repays kindness."

Qin Yi pondered for a long time and could only think of this reason.

"Thank you!" Yun Mengyao lightly smiled, "But, you can’t help me. The Golden Winged Roc Clan is too powerful, and my clansmen wouldn’t allow me to do something detrimental to the Feather Clan."

"It seems I’ve already killed Jin Wudi, the grudge with the Golden Winged Roc Clan is unresolvable. Sooner or later, we’ll meet, might as well help you along the way."

Yun Mengyao smiled: "Don’t worry! No one knows what’s behind the Heavenly Defect? As long as you don’t say, I don’t say, they won’t know how Jin Wudi died?"

"Behind the Heavenly Defect is this beautiful and peaceful planet, this will be exposed sooner or later."

Yun Mengyao looked at Qin Yi, curiously asking: "Qin Yi, you’re not someone who sacrifices for others. Why guard this planet, bearing the burden for all beings?"

"If I said the Heavenly Defect appeared because of me, and I’m the culprit, wouldn’t that make my actions reasonable?"

Yun Mengyao rolled her eyes, clearly not believing it.

"Do you like that Jin Wuji?"

"What is like?"

Qin Yi looked disdainful: "Are you an idiot? Don’t even know what liking is."

He thought Yun Mengyao would be angry, but she wasn’t. She smiled lightly and said: "Qin Yi, actually, I envy you, carefree, unrestrained, doing whatever you want? Unlike me, the title of the Saintess of the Feather Clan, while giving me ultimate glory, is also a shackle."

"Sitting in my position, I have no right to talk about liking or disliking. Since I can’t choose someone I love, why not choose the best one?"
