Becoming a wet nurse is not the end of the story.

With a soft sigh, Lin Xueyin said, "Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, go where you belong."

With a slight lift of her delicate hand, the cloud of blood mist let out another mournful howl of resentment.

"No... Lin Xueyin, you can't do this to me! I'm immortal! I won't fail... No..."

"Immortality? Perhaps many people are pursuing immortality, but who knows that immortality itself is a curse? When everything returns to dust, who will live forever for whom?"

The pure energy completely purified the negative emotions within the blood mist, leaving only a trace of pure energy, so pure that it was devoid of any good or evil. Furthermore, the original soul of Mohand within it was completely erased by Lin Xueyin.

“Maca, its energy should be similar to yours, right?”

As they were both winged races, Lin Xueyin thought that Mohand's fighting spirit was similar to that of the Feathered Clan princess, Maca, but she saw her shake her head helplessly.

“My fighting spirit is different from his, but I think his fighting spirit is similar to that of Aria and Grand Duchess Pendelina. Perhaps we can let them use it.”

"Aria and Grand Duchess Pandelina?"

She turned around in surprise to look at Aria, who had been hesitant to speak, and Grand Duchess Pandelina standing beside her. She hadn't expected their fighting spirit to be so similar to that of the Eagle Clan.

"Aria, you guys use this. It should greatly enhance your power once again."

Although she really wanted to give it to Grand Duchess Pendelina, Lin Xueyin was afraid that if she spoke up, she would be hurt by the other party's cold gaze, so she could only ask Aria.

Based on her understanding of Aria, she knew that Aria would not accept it immediately, but would instead ask her teacher, Pendelina. In this way, she would know Pendelina's thoughts. If she wanted it, she would naturally give it to her first; if she genuinely didn't want it, then it could be given to Aria.

It's not that Lin Xueyin didn't want to give it to Ailiya, but rather that she hoped Ailiya could obtain her power through her own cultivation, as such energy is inherently very stable, rather than relying on this method for quick results.

As expected, Pandelina also hoped that Aria could improve her power through her own efforts and did not want her to obtain energy through this method, so she also spoke up to refuse this good opportunity for her.

"Hmm, who should I give this energy to? If I had known it would be this troublesome, I would have just cleaned it up completely."

An energy ball left behind by a Saint-level expert. The energy contained in this energy ball is extremely powerful. Although it cannot make one a Saint-level expert overnight, it can still allow ordinary people to obtain Spirit-level power. However, none of them wanted it, which made Lin Xueyin, who was holding the energy ball, somewhat embarrassed.

Volume Nine: The Demon Clan's Journey - Chapter Eight: The Caravan

Mohand died just like that. The Eagle Clan's Saint-level, the one who defected from the Eagle Clan and had been a fearsome Saint-level who had roamed the continent for decades, was killed right before her eyes, and in such a thorough way. This made the Blackwing Clan princess feel extremely incredulous.

Mana wanted to ask where these people came from and where they were going, but the words stuck in her throat. She could only keep her questions to herself for the time being.

"Haha... We're done playing, let's wrap this up. Let's discuss what to eat tonight. Just so you know, no chicken or any other poultry tonight, absolutely no."

Amused, Ailiya patted Lin Xueyin's head. Although she didn't quite understand why Xueyin refused to eat poultry, she figured if Xueyin didn't want to, then so be it. After all, there were plenty of meats to eat, not just poultry.

"Then let's grill tonight..."

Just as Ailiya was about to suggest barbecue, Lin Xueyin stopped her with her finger again, pouting as she said, "Don't even think about it. Barbecue is out of the question. Today I'll cook vegetables."

"Huh? Why? Isn't it good to eat some meat? Look at all these children. If they don't eat meat, they won't grow tall."

Upon hearing that Lin Xueyin refused to eat meat tonight, Ailiya couldn't remain calm. What was wrong with this girl today? She was eating meat with gusto just before, so why did she suddenly want to abstain from meat?

"Hmph, what I say goes. If you have a problem with that, you're not eating tonight."

Showing off her girlish arrogance to the fullest, Lin Xueyin dusted herself off and walked to the side. The fierce battle had left her feeling somewhat tired, and her stamina was almost at its lowest point.

Lin Xueyin has always been stationary and attacking, because she knows that her stamina is not enough to sustain a high-intensity tug-of-war. Therefore, she can only place herself in a dangerous position to attack from a stationary position. Only in this way can she successfully defeat the enemy.

Just as Aria was about to continue speaking, Maca pulled her back with a look, preventing her from speaking further.

Watching Lin Xueyin slowly leave, Maca rolled her eyes at the carefree girl before saying, "Don't you see what Xueyin just did? You even made her cook meat for you. If you want meat, look at that Eagle Clan Saint-level being burned alive."

Only then did I realize that Xueyin had just burned that Eagle Clan Saint-level cultivator with her Holy Fire. She had said she didn't want to eat poultry because she hoped I could understand, which was a wake-up call for me. But I was still foolishly chasing after Xueyin to try and persuade her. Was my brain really fried?

"I'm sorry, I..."

"You shouldn't have told me this apology. You should have told Yukine instead." Maca glanced at the somewhat uneasy girl who had made a mistake, then turned and left.

Knowing she had caused trouble, Aria didn't dare say anything and could only watch helplessly as Maca turned and left.

"Sister Aria, it's okay. Sister Xueyin knows you didn't mean it and won't be angry."

Lilia obediently held Aria's hand, her large, expressive eyes quietly watching the remorseful Aria, hoping she could think things through.

"I know Yukine won't blame me, but seeing her like this makes me feel even more guilty. She always carries everything on her own shoulders, both before and now. The more I interact with her, the more I feel I owe her."

"That's why Aria is trying so hard to catch up with Yukine, so that she can stand next to her."

With a sweet smile, Aria looked into the other person's eyes, and her previously heavy mood eased slightly.

"Yes, that's why I work even harder, striving to one day stand before Yukine as her guardian and protect her safety."

"I believe that Sister Aria can definitely do it."

Although she saw Arya shake her head with a wry smile, she still looked at her with a firm gaze, believing that Arya would definitely keep her word.

Lin Xueyin had no way of knowing what Ailiya was feeling. After a fierce battle, her physical strength was almost at its limit, so she could only rest as soon as possible to recover her strength.

"Yukine, are you feeling better?"

Just as she boarded the carriage, Orichils appeared beside her. Seeing the somewhat tired girl, he handed her the water bottle he had prepared beforehand with a touch of heartache.

"Have some water and rest for a bit. We'll take care of dinner tonight."

"Is the dinner you prepared okay?" A light laugh slightly dispelled the girl's fatigue. She opened the water bag and drank the water inside.

"Slow down, be careful not to choke."

Just as he finished speaking, Lin Xueyin was heard coughing incessantly, clearly because she had choked from drinking too fast.

"I told you to slow down, but you really are a handful."

While patting Lin Xueyin's back, he spoke to her with a touch of indulgence, which made Lin Xueyin playfully complain.

"It was an accident, not intentional, so why are you saying that about me?"

"Yes, yes, then who are you saying deliberately choked on their water?"

Clatter, Lin Xueyin was a little unsure how to answer. She sat down in the car angrily, rolled her eyes at Olihirs dozens of times, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"You're still laughing..."

"Alright, stop laughing. Look, those caravans are coming over. They're probably here to thank us. You handle it yourself. I'll just watch from the side."

"Huh? Don't be like that, I'm not used to this kind of occasion."

Previously, there were always people helping me, so I felt a little uneasy about handling it all by myself.

He looked pitifully at Olihils beside him, who was watching the commotion with amusement, hoping she could help him deal with the caravan.

From a distance, the members of the caravan could see the pale-faced black-winged girl, Lin Xueyin thought. "Her name should be Mana."

However, since the distance wasn't very far, and Lin Xueyin didn't have much time to think, Mana and several members of the caravan had already appeared beside Lin Xueyin's carriage.

Stop.

Besna raised her arm, preventing the group from moving forward. They could only watch the girl on the carriage from afar. Although her face showed great fatigue, her body was free of any injuries.

Volume Nine: The Demon Clan's Journey - Chapter Nine: The Koma Trading Company

Somewhat weary, Lin Xueyin sat in the carriage, leaning against the frame, looking at the men and women in front of her, all stained with blood, but her face remained expressionless.

"We are a caravan from the Koma Merchant Guild. I am the captain of this caravan, Yu Mana. Thank you very much for saving us. Otherwise, we would very likely have been killed by that traitor from the Eagle Clan..."

"Why would a saint target an ordinary caravan? Even if he's a bandit, shouldn't he at least have some basic dignity as a powerful person? He wouldn't just rob everything."

Lin Xueyin didn't let the other party finish speaking before asking her own question. After all, this was indeed a strange thing. It was odd that a Saint-level expert would rob an ordinary caravan.

Seemingly not expecting Lin Xueyin to ask so directly, Mana and the armless man behind her exchanged a wary glance before speaking.

"We're taking a lot of financial resources with us to the Eagle Clan for this transaction, so..."

"Please tell the truth. I don't believe that some mere valuables would warrant the personal escort of your merchant guild's young lady, or even the Blackwing Clan's princess, with a Berserker-level expert hidden among them. Please tell me the truth."

Caught off guard by the woman's blunt exposure of her lie, Mana could only turn to her Uncle Lekmo for help. She only saw him shaking his head with a helpless, wry smile.

“Your Excellency, we did not mean to conceal this from you. It is just that this item involves His Majesty the Demon King, and we dare not make a decision on our own. So please forgive us again.”

Oh? This is about Nana. Lin Xueyin pondered for a moment, then looked at Besna on the side, only to find that her expression had not changed at all from the beginning, as if she knew about this.

"Since it's about the Demon King, let's just leave it at that. We just happened to be there. Now that we've seen it, we'll naturally stand up for what's right."

Since it was related to Nana, Lin Xueyin didn't say anything more. She just gestured to Besna with her eyes, and sure enough, she understood and told Mana and the other members of the caravan to leave first.

However, Mana was unwilling to leave like this, because the caravan was at its weakest point. Since the Eagle Clan's Saint-level members already knew about this news, it proved that the originally confidential information had been leaked, and they were all unsafe.

"Your Excellency, I wonder if you have any destination in mind for this trip?"

With a slight frown, Besna already knew what the other party wanted to say. However, since this matter concerned the princess's safety, she did not want to have any contact with these caravans.

However, Lin Xueyin knew what the other party was thinking, but she was worried about the return gift that Nana gave to the Eagle Clan. If it was lost, the one who would be most embarrassed would probably be herself, the Demon King.

At this point, all I could do was help her protect the items that needed to be escorted.

"We originally planned to travel around, without any fixed destination."

"I see. The Eagle Clan's Sky Cliff is very unique, and it preserves many ancient customs. It's a great place to travel."

It seemed like she was recommending and describing some of the characteristics of the Eagle Clan, but Lin Xueyin saw through her true intentions, though she chose not to say anything.

"Since that place looks nice, let's go check it out."

Although she was speaking to Mana and the others, her eyes were fixed on Besna, which made the female guard commander inwardly spit on the little girl.

Honestly, you clearly want to join this caravan, but you still make me say it out loud. Why don't you just say it directly? Are you afraid that these people won't trust you?

Of course, that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that after learning that the Queen of the Eagle Clan had arrived at the Demon King's Castle, she specially made a light armor for her using the wings of the Eagle Clan. This light armor is said to be able to withstand a head-on attack from a Berserker.

Therefore, the Demon King was happy and bestowed a treasure upon her. She had mentioned all of this in her secret reports to the Demon King.

This whole thing is related to this little girl, so if you just reveal your identity, it's like putting something in one pocket and taking it out another. Besides, even if something is lost, you can personally go and return the gift. For the Eagle Queen, that return gift is much better than that inanimate object.

"Miss, let's go to the Eagle Clan first, and then travel to other places."

He calmly helped Lin Xueyin smooth over her idea, and sure enough, he saw a fleeting hint of smugness in her big eyes.

This girl really has the mentality of a child. Bessna secretly labeled Lin Xueyin with a mentality that she would never admit.

"In that case, why don't we go together? Our caravan has a lot of supplies, and we can properly thank you for your help this time."

She really dared to speak her mind. However, Lin Xueyin could also tell that the Blackwing Clan princess was indeed very grateful to her, so she didn't voice her complaints.

"In that case, let's do it together."

"Yukine, what do you mean by 'together'?"
