The adults have arrived.

The adult fell down.

The ambush set up by the three-headed, level-three monster successfully caught the young adult.

At this moment, he had no choice but to fight three against one, and he was filled with regret. "Don't pursue a desperate enemy! Don't pursue a desperate enemy!" He had said it countless times, but he still couldn't resist.

Now he's separated from the main force, and his men can't come to his aid in time. Is he really going to die here today?

Just as I was thinking, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a cold light flashing by.

The three wolf-like creatures in front of them were instantly decapitated, turning into cold corpses.

"this……"

The young adult stared in astonishment, then saw a tall figure slowly sheathing his sword.

His breathing was so steady, as if he hadn't expended much effort at all.

But this is clearly a three-headed level three monster!

Master!

This is definitely a master!

Although he didn't understand where the other person came from or why they were there, he was very clear that the other person had saved his life. He immediately knelt down on one knee and thanked them repeatedly!

"I'll ask, you answer."

"Yes, senior, I will definitely answer all your questions to the best of my ability!"

"Where am I?"

"Forehead……"

The young adult was stunned for a moment, not expecting that the other person didn't even know where they were.

He began to explain:

"This is Yunxi Ancient Village."

He then added,

"Leaving this wilderness, if you walk a little further ahead, you will see Yunxi Ancient Village."

Is it Yunxi Ancient Village?

Lu Xingyuan nodded thoughtfully.

It's been almost an hour since I arrived at this platform.

He didn't even know where he was or what he was supposed to do.

Now that the other party has pointed out the direction of Yunxi Ancient Village, we can go and see if we can gain anything from it.

He couldn't believe that there was nothing on this platform and that he would end up with nothing, especially since it had cost him 50 train coins to get to this platform!

If all else fails, I'll just take the villager's cow and steal some vegetables from the field—I figured nobody would want those anyway.

It wasn't a wasted trip.

Our main goal is to ensure that your trip is worthwhile.

Lu Xingyuan is gone.

The young adult stared at that retreating figure, unable to recover for a long time.

"If only I had his terrifying strength, perhaps I could catch the goddess's eye and become her personal guard, so I could see her beautiful face every day..."

"I've heard that the Goddess is facing a great crisis, and the empire is on the verge of collapse. Well, that's beyond my control. All I can do now is to slay the monsters here and stop them from preying on the people..."

After leaving the forest, Lu Xingyuan realized that he had just reached the edge of the forest.

Not far ahead, a village is built along the water.

Lu Xingyuan approached and stood at the village entrance, looking around.

"Who are you? What do you want?"

A childish voice suddenly rang out from behind.

"I'm looking for a cow."

Lu Xingyuan stroked his chin.

No cows were found.

Is this village really that poor?

We've really been fooled.

"Our village used to have a cow, but a few days ago it was slaughtered as a reward for the villagers who stood up to fight the monster."

The little girl with two small pigtails continued speaking.

"My brother was in the team fighting the monster, so he was also given a piece of beef."

"However, my brother didn't keep it all for himself; he gave it to me and my mother."

"This is the first time I've ever eaten beef, and it's delicious!"

As she spoke, the little girl swallowed hard.

Lu Xingyuan squatted down and carefully examined the little girl in front of him.

It looks somewhat familiar.

"Wait, you just said you have an older brother?"

"Yes, I'm ten years old this year, and he's only five years older than me, but everyone says he's very brave. Even that annoying aunt praised him as a man, and I think so too."

"..."

Lu Xingyuan scratched his head frantically.

"You still haven't explained why you're looking for a cow?"

"I'm not looking for cows, I'm looking for vegetables."

"My family grows radishes. My mother and I planted them together, but they're not big yet. If you want some, you can wait a while. They'll be ready when my brother comes back. I'll pick whichever one you want, but you'd better choose the ones I planted because my brother said they're definitely sweet."

Lu Xingyuan: "..."

My head is even itchier now.

"Your brother..."

"Dead?!"

This cruel news did not come from Lu Xingyuan's mouth, but was brought back by other villagers who had survived fighting the monsters on the front lines of the mountains.

Shortly after, the little girl's brother's body was also brought back.

It was the same body that Lu Xingyuan had seen.

That inexplicable sense of familiarity didn't come from nowhere.

The death of her elder brother was a devastating blow to a family that was already broken.

The mother and daughter, who depended on each other for survival, cried so much that they fainted several times.

Although Lu Xingyuan didn't exactly blame himself, he did feel somewhat regretful.

If he had appeared earlier, could he have saved Xiaoyun'er's brother's life?

The little girl's name is Xiaoyun'er, that's what everyone calls her.

At this moment, she was nestled in Lu Xingyuan's arms, crying her heart out.

The scalding tears soaked through Lu Xingyuan's clothes.

The seriously ill mother beside him suppressed her grief.

"Little Yun'er, don't do this, people will laugh at you..."

Another person who spoke up was an older woman.

She is Xiaoyun'er's aunt.

"Xiaoyun, stop yelling. Try to think positively. Remember, your brother is dead, and your family can get a compensation payment."

The compensation that was sent was far more generous than expected.

"How can there be so many?"

Auntie stared in astonishment, a fleeting glint of greed in her eyes that went unnoticed.

"After learning about this, the Demon Exorcist Guardian paid extra out of his own pocket."

"What a kind person! This demon-slaying guard is truly a rare and wonderful person!"

After the onlookers left, the aunt looked at the generous pension and kept rubbing her hands together.

But she soon noticed Lu Xingyuan, who hadn't left yet, and quickly glared at him.

"Where are you from? What are you doing here? Get out of here! We're a family having a conversation, it's not appropriate for an outsider like you to be here."

Lu Xingyuan glanced at her, then got up and left.

Auntie quickly closed the door. In the dim light, her eyes shone with a light that made one's heart race.

"Sister-in-law, listen to your sister-in-law's honest words. Your Shitou is gone, and Xiaoyun is just a girl; once she's married, she'll belong to another family. Where can you spend this money? You might as well use it to help my Xiaohu get married. Anyway, you have nowhere else to spend it, so just consider it helping your nephew. Xiaohu will surely remember your kindness in the future, won't he?"

The mother, who was already suffering from immense grief, was suddenly struck by these words. Overwhelmed with anger, she cried out, "You—" but could not catch her breath and fainted on the spot.

Seeing this, Xiao Yun rushed forward anxiously. Her tears, which had already dried up, now flowed down her face mixed with blood.

"Mother!"

"Mother, wake up! Don't scare me!"
