Reincarnated as a goblin, but her mother is a white-haired elf?

The blade flashed like lightning across the night sky, and in an instant, blood splattered like a fountain.

However, in that breathtaking moment, he—the Goblin Knight Shu—miraculously emerged unscathed.

His eyes flickered with doubt and astonishment.

Immediately afterwards, a familiar figure came into his view.

That was Ye Yan, his expression was as cold as frost, and his eyes revealed a deep light.

Goblin Knight was stunned; he could hardly believe his eyes.

The young king is still alive!

Feeling the gentle blood gushing from his back, Goblin Knight Mu slowly raised his eyes, his gaze meeting Ye Yan's.

In that instant, an indescribable emotion flashed in his eyes: astonishment, joy, and a hint of disbelief.

"You're still alive."

"You're still alive."

Ye Yan's tone was cold and his face was expressionless, but Goblin Knight Mu still felt a trace of warmth.

Is Xiao Wang showing concern for him?

His eyes were only for "mother," a kind of "family" that neither he nor the goblins saw.

There will never be a day when he will be cared for.

Even the smallest gesture deeply moved the Goblin Knight.

"Me, me"

The goblin knight opened his mouth, as if to say something.

But Ye Yan beat him to it.

"Why protect them?"

As he spoke, Ye Yan's gaze fell on the children behind the Goblin Knights.

"No, don't kill me!"

"Waaaaah"

The children cried out in anguish at the sight of the corpse lying on the ground.

"We...we don't know why Xiaotong is like this..."

A slightly older child sobbed as he spoke, his eyes filled with fear and confusion.

"Waaaaah"

Ye Yan ignored the crying children and focused his gaze on the goblin knight, who was standing there in a daze. He asked the question again.

"Why protect these children?"

Why protect these children?

Upon hearing Ye Yan's question, the Goblin Knight lowered his head.

His gaze fell on the trembling children behind him.

He didn't know why he was doing such a foolish thing.

Perhaps it was just an outlet for frustration.

To vent their frustrations, these adventurers destroyed his lair, killed their general, and put up a little resistance.

Answer me.

"Would you risk your life for something like this?"

Ye Yan's voice revealed a rare anger as he stared into the eyes of the Goblin Knight, as if trying to discern something from them.

Goblin Knight looked up at Ye Yan, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.

Is this still the same Xiao Wang he knows?

That little monarch, who cared about nothing but his mother, actually said such a thing to him.

He couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

"I, I..."

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know where to begin.

He knew that his actions might seem foolish to many people.

But he couldn't explain himself.

I don't know what to say.

"If you keep going like this, you'll die."

"You helped me."

Ye Yan recalled the moment when he learned that his mother was about to die and was surrounded by goblin knights.

It was the Goblin Knight who stepped forward and allowed him to leave the goblin castle safely.

Ye Yan remembered this incident.

He also thought that Goblin Knight Shu died after that incident.

I never thought I was still alive.

Since he is still alive, Ye Yan will not let him die so easily.

For Ye Yan, the simplest solution was to kill.

This was the simplest and most direct method he could think of, given his training as an assassin and killer.

Although his emotions are slowly returning, he will not waver in the slightest when it comes to killing.

I may regret it, I may feel remorse, but I will never hesitate.

Thinking of this, Ye Yan's gaze fell on the child behind the Goblin Knight's cloak, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

"Waaaaah, Mommy, I want Mommy..."

The child's innocent cries echoed through the silent forest, carrying with them endless sorrow and terror.

"No, please don't come any closer..."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Then another child's voice rang out, filled with deep despair.

As if sensing the children's fear, the wind grew even fiercer, rustling the leaves.

"My lord, please wait."

The goblin knight hurriedly stepped forward, blocking Ye Yan's path. His eyes revealed deep worry and helplessness.

"Sir, you don't need to handle these things personally, lest you get your hands dirty."

As he spoke, he turned around and roared at the children behind him:

"You brats, get out of here!"

"Otherwise, when I get hungry, I'll eat you all one by one."

"No, don't."

The children were trembling with fear, and some of them ran away as fast as they could, afraid that if they were too slow, they would be caught by the Goblin Knights.

However, some children remained frozen in place, too frightened to move.

Among them, a boy named Xiaochun mustered up his courage and glanced at the Goblin Knight.

He took a deep breath, pulled his little companion aside, and whispered:

"Hurry up and go."

"Let's go quickly, don't trouble Uncle Mu anymore."

Xiaochun grabbed one of the other children in each hand and led them away, their figures gradually disappearing into the forest.

However, there was one girl who remained motionless, the only child who dared to look Ye Yan in the eye, named Xiao Qiu.

Xiao Qiu gripped the hem of her skirt tightly, lowered her head, and dared not look at Ye Yan and the Goblin Knight.

Tears hung from the corners of her eyes, and one tear silently slid down, landing on the cold ground.

"Uncle Mu, I...I'm leaving."

Faced with Xiao Qiu's farewell, Goblin Knight Mu did not respond, his gaze fixed on Ye Yan, trying to squeeze out his spirit from his already exhausted body and concentrate fully.

Despite being born in the same nest.

Despite knowing the young king's identity.

Although we spent a short time together.

Although the young king saved him, he held the young king in high esteem.

Goblin Knight never truly understood Ye Yan.

Knowing so much, yet feeling as if knowing nothing at all.

For example, he didn't know what the young king was thinking at that moment.

Was that murderous aura really meant to kill those children?

But didn't the young king never kill other harmless races on his own initiative?

he does not know.

Just like he didn't know why he was protecting those brats.

He didn't know why he was so worried at this moment, as if the young king had killed those children.

Fortunately, the young king did nothing, but just watched silently until the last child, Xiao Qiu, left.

No.

Or perhaps, the young king never took those children seriously.

To kill or not to kill.

It's like deciding to crush that ant today.

Is this the king? (End of Chapter)
