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

Black robes? This familiar attire brought back some unpleasant memories for Lin Xueyin, especially when these people were dragging the poor girl towards the street, which made Lin Xueyin feel even more uncomfortable.

"Sister Xueyin, let's save her."

"Okay." Looking at Lilia pitifully, her eyes were already filled with tears, which made Lin Xueyin feel a little sorry for her and pat her little head.

"Let go of that woman, let me handle this..."

Ariel...

Lilia...

The girl who kept crying for help and begging for assistance was the same...

The black-robed men who were pulling at the struggling girl were doing the same thing...

"Sister Xueyin, are you sure you're trying to save someone?"

"Of course! How can I help her up if I don't let them let go? My job is to save her."

Lilia's innocent expression made her brow furrow with embarrassment, while Ariel continued eating her snacks, completely ignoring the shameful woman.

"What the heck, what's with all those faces? Didn't you all tell me to save people? Now that I'm about to save someone, why are you still making these faces?"

With her hands on her hips and a coquettish expression, what everyone saw was this cute and charming girl angrily scolding two little girls.

"I never expected to see such a stunning woman. It seems the great Demon God hasn't abandoned us after all, and has brought us such a wonderful gift."

"A gift? A gift for you? Ha, do you have some misunderstanding about the current situation?" He crossed his arms and glanced sideways at the two clueless men.

"Release that girl, and I might spare your lives. But if you remain stubborn, you'll only face death."

"Ha, little girl, aren't you afraid the wind will blow your tongue?" One of the cloaked men was still speaking when another launched a surprise attack. Black gas burst forth from his black robe.

Although it was a sneak attack, Lin Xueyin remained calm. A golden light shot out from her slightly raised hand, intertwining with the black energy. They devoured each other until they vanished into nothingness.

This familiar black aura... it really is them. But didn't Nana say she had wiped them all out? How come we still see them openly committing atrocities in the Eagle Clan?

"Little girl, you're quite capable. But do you think that's all we're good for? My final piece of advice is to leave and stay out of this mess, or you'll die."

Clenching her fists tightly, Lin Xueyin's eyes already revealed her answer: since they had fallen into her hands, she might as well settle both the old and new scores.

"If you want me to leave, we'll see if you have the ability."

Her azure pupils were now filled with murderous intent. She had initially thought it was just a cheap trick of abducting a woman, but after seeing these men in black cloaks, her opinion changed. This matter was definitely not simple.

Without a staff, they could already sense a terrifying aura emanating from her, and the danger of death loomed over them. In terror, the two frantically tried to escape in any direction.

"Run! You can't escape!"

She clasped her hands together in prayer. A holy light emanated from her, which greatly surprised the eagles around her who were accustomed to dark energy.

Using holy magic so openly in demon territory, aren't you afraid of being captured by the demons? After all, this kind of magic has a natural hostile relationship with the demons.

"You're actually a holy priest? Damn it, how did a holy priest end up here?"

The two men in black robes, who had just emerged from their terror, were still trying to figure out why they had suddenly felt fear towards the girl in front of them when they were shocked by this unexpected discovery.

"You're meddling too much."

Lin Xueyin opened her palm, and a beam of light shot out rapidly from the open palm, surrounding the two people who had been fixed together by some inexplicable force, tightening and completely rendering them unable to move.

“Let her go! Do you know who we are? This woman is a slave we bought. You have no right to stop us from doing anything to our slaves.”

"No right? I never said I needed that right. If I beat you to death, wouldn't she no longer be your slave?" Hearing the word "slave" and seeing the trembling girl's terrified and desperate face, Lin Xueyin felt her heart clench with pain.

Anyway, Nana would take responsibility, so she did it anyway, to see what anyone could do to her. Lin Xueyin didn't believe Nana could do anything to her; at worst, she'd be bedridden for three more days next time she went back. Besides, Nana probably wanted her to act this way, giving her all sorts of excuses, didn't she?

"Damn it, let us go..."

"Are you out of your mind? I caught you and you're going to let me go? Are you out of your mind? Come with me obediently... Who are you?"

A faint halo of light emanated from the sacred shield, vigilantly protecting the girl and the two little girls, while scanning the surrounding onlookers. However, it found no one suspicious.

"Sister Xueyin, those two people are gone."

Ariel watched in horror as the two bound men in front of her turned into ashes and vanished without a trace.

"They all turned to ash and disappeared."

He clung tightly to Lin Xueyin's clothes, hoping to gain some sense of security from her.

Lin Xueyin, who also felt very strange, glanced at the situation in front of her. The golden rope of light had disappeared because it had lost its target.

The other party left—no, they should be said to have been killed. According to Ariel, both of them turned to ashes and were blown away without leaving anything behind. It seems that the person who just ambushed her did it in the dark. But why didn't she notice anything?

"Girl, you're safe now. Can you tell me who you are and why they arrested you?"

"I...I..."

However, after speaking for a long time, I still couldn't make myself clear or reveal any useful information. My eyes were still full of wariness, as if I didn't trust the person in front of me either.

"Fine, since you don't want to talk about it yet, let's leave it at that for now. Tell me when you're ready to talk about it later."

She gently helped the girl up and led her slowly toward the Queen's castle. She had originally planned to come and go secretly, but when the eagle soldiers suddenly appeared in front of her, Lin Xueyin knew that she was in trouble again.

Someone just said there was a fight here, was it you?

The stern-chief looked at the injured girl in front of him, then at the young woman supporting her as they prepared to leave, and frowned slightly.

The Eagle Clan does indeed buy slaves to work, which is probably why the fight broke out here. It's likely that the girl couldn't stand the Eagle Clan members beating and scolding her, which led to the conflict.

"You can only leave after we come back with you to investigate."

“Go back with you? To investigate? No, if there’s a problem, go find me at the castle over there. I have things to do right now.”

The other person's eyes clearly indicated that he was a criminal suspect, and as a human, he would probably find it difficult to receive fair treatment in this place.

Left with no other option, they could only point to the Queen's castle, hoping to temporarily suppress the soldiers through this threat.

But people have to believe what you say, right? The sergeant had a "you're kidding me" look on his face, and he knew that what he had just said was completely pointless.

"Hmph, a human, yet he dares to dream of living in our Queen's castle. Why don't you just say you live in the Demon King's castle? Guards, seize all of these people!"

"Let's see who dares."

The eagle soldiers obeyed and advanced, only to see Lin Xueyin stomp her small foot heavily on the ground. In an instant, a wall of holy light separated the two sides.

"Holy Priest? Hmph, I didn't expect humans to be so forgetful. It seems we still need to make more of these unruly races into slaves. Only in this way will they know who their masters are."

"It's really laughable. Back then, who was beaten and forced to flee in all directions, and finally had no choice but to submit to the demon race? I never thought that in just a few hundred years, someone would forget their ancestors completely and really think of themselves as a pure demon."

"You sharp-tongued little girl, I'd like to see if your mouth can still be this sharp when you're under the whip."

The sergeant stared fiercely at the human woman. Although he knew it was wrong, he still decided to sentence her to slavery and sell her to the nobles.

"Go get them, and try to capture them alive if possible."

"yes...."

The soldiers shouted in unison, their crossbows already nocked, and the front-line swordsmen and shieldmen slowly advanced, their synchronized steps sending a chill down everyone's spines.

Although she had participated in wars and witnessed casualties, Lin Xueyin still couldn't help but feel a little nervous when facing such a group of elite soldiers.

Volume 9: The Demon Clan's Journey - Chapter 15: Caught in the Act

The two sides were already locked in a fierce confrontation, and the situation had reached a point of extreme tension. Lin Xueyin would absolutely not back down an inch. At the very least, the fate of the girls around her if they fell into the hands of these people was self-evident.

However, the eagle warriors on the other side also believed that they were facing a sinner who had spoken arrogantly and insulted the entire eagle clan, and they would not let her off easily.

Sharp spears, sturdy shields, the flames in their eyes are ready to ignite at any moment; a small fuse or spark is all it takes for a fierce conflict to erupt.

"Get them..."

"Stop..." A cold shout rang out around the crowd, causing the civilians who had been fleeing in panic to stand still in fear.

A general strode up to Lin Xueyin and the soldiers, saying, "This is a distinguished guest of my king. Who gave you the right to be so disrespectful to her? Apologize to me immediately and then get back to your camp."

"But....."

"But what? Does that mean my words have no effect? ​​Apologize, and then go back to accept your punishment."

The general sternly reprimanded the soldiers before turning to the young woman who was the victim. "Your Majesty... uh, Pastor Lin, I'm sorry, my men didn't know your identity, so there was a misunderstanding. Please don't take it to heart."

Looking at the familiar general, Lin Xueyin couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect to meet you again. It seems your healing skills are quite good. Such a serious injury can be healed in just a few days."

This is the same general who surrounded me before, but now he's helping me out of this predicament. Life is truly full of drama.

"Your Highness, I'm so sorry. They are just ordinary soldiers. There are some things they can't access and they've never seen you before, which is why this happened. Please forgive them."

He knew that if Lin Xueyin handled the matter well, even if it reached the Queen, she would only give him a few verbal reprimands. But if she refused to let go, these soldiers would really lose their lives.

Gently patting the two frightened little girls, he said, "I will talk to the Queen about this matter. But I hope this matter can be investigated and clarified. Just now, they tried to convict me without asking any questions or understanding the facts. I really don't know how I could be so heinous."

"This..." The general himself did not know what had happened, and could only look awkwardly at the angry girl. He originally thought that since she had let him go before, this matter would also be resolved smoothly. However, judging from her words, she did not intend to let this matter go so easily.

Lin Xueyin naturally had her own considerations. Putting aside the fact that these soldiers were trying to attack her indiscriminately, the fact that those two people were clearly from some temple and could appear here so openly already made her suspicious.

Nana said that this Eagle Queen could be trusted, but within her territory, people whom Nana defined as cultists could continue to walk openly, which made Lin Xueyin suspicious.

This incident with the soldiers can be considered a test to see if the woman Nana trusts is a human or a monster.

"Pastor Lin, you..."

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now. There are some things I don't want to explain too clearly, so don't make things too difficult for me. After all, they said they would sell me into slavery. Do you think I'll let this go so easily?"

Holy crap, have these soldiers gone mad? Selling His Majesty the Demon King's queen into slavery? You dare to sell her? Does anyone dare to take her in? If anyone does, wouldn't they just wipe out their entire family?

The general, equally frightened, dared not plead for them any longer. Although he had hoped to send them back to the camp to face punishment and escape repercussions from above, these people had gone too far, and he couldn't control the situation.

Lin Xueyin paid no heed to the general's current mood. With a cold expression, she turned and walked away. The human girl who had been trembling just moments before glanced at the passersby and then at Lin Xueyin's cold face, and obediently followed behind her.

"Sister Xueyin, are you really not going to let those people go?"

Compared to Ariel, Lilia still had a bit of a childlike heart. Seeing that the soldiers seemed to be about to be severely punished, she felt a little sorry for them and wanted to talk to Lin Xueyin to see if they could be let off the hook.

"Little girl, do you know that if we get caught today, our fate might be more miserable than you can imagine? If you don't believe me, look at the woman next to you. Aren't her injuries enough to horrify you?"

"Were the wounds on this woman inflicted by those soldiers?"

Lilia stared in horror at the young woman beside her, whose face was filled with bitterness. Apart from her fairly pretty face, which was unharmed, all the exposed skin of her body was covered in scars.

"We...they are not human, they are demons. Dozens of us girls were sold, and now, only a few of us remain after they have been brutally murdered. If I hadn't escaped while they were off guard, I probably would have..."
