Chapter 313 She really didn't dare to say it
"Junior Sister, come quick!" Bai Ye called out hastily as he watched the Fire-Eating Beast's corpse sink into the lava.
Si Nansheng leaped up and stood behind Ye Yanqing.
"Fifth Senior Brother, this is for you." Si Nansheng called out and tossed the red inner core to Mo Yu.
"What is this?" Mo Yu took it and examined the bead.
"This inner core contains the earth's core fire. Go back and absorb it properly; it should help you with your alchemy," Si Nansheng replied with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Mo Yu looked at Si Nansheng with emotion. So, his junior sister wanted this for him.
Mo Lie controlled the spirit sword to fly down and picked the five-colored fairy lotus, handing it to Si Nansheng.
Si Nansheng didn't look at it that much and threw it directly into the small world.
I don't know if it's because the fire-eating beast died, but the temperature here is gradually decreasing.
"Let's leave here first." Ye Yanqing looked at his junior brothers, and together they controlled their spirit swords to fly up.
Wen Luoya stopped halfway through the flight.
"Senior Brother, turn left." Ye Yanqing turned directly and headed left.
Before long, they saw a stone wall and flew upwards. Above the stone wall was a stone pillar.
There's still a long way to go to the bottom of the crevice, no wonder Wen Luoya said before that he couldn't smell the stench anymore halfway there.
Everyone jumped off the spirit sword and walked forward. The stench that Wen Luoya smelled grew stronger and stronger, and even Si Nansheng and the others could smell it.
Bai Ye, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped: "Senior Brother..."
Everyone quickened their pace and stood side by side with Bai Ye. Seeing the scene before them, they all fell silent.
"These beasts!" Mo Lie clenched his fists.
Bai Ye turned around and pulled Si Nansheng into his arms, preventing her from seeing those things.
But Si Nansheng had already seen it, and saw it clearly.
Swaddling clothes were scattered everywhere, some tattered and worn, others still intact.
Around those swaddling clothes were the remains of many infants. Because of the lava below and the dry air, many of the remains did not turn to skeletal form but instead became mummies.
"Third Senior Brother, I'm fine." Si Nansheng stepped out of Bai Ye's arms and walked towards the remains, followed by his senior brothers.
"Is this a fish tail?" Upon closer inspection, they saw that many children's legs resembled fish tails, and some even had their fingers and toes connected together, like webbed feet.
“They are just ordinary children. They only suffer this fate because their parents committed sins.” Ye Yanqing frowned.
Si Nansheng squatted down and looked at a child's shriveled chest, where a patch of fish scales that had lost their luster grew.
"So, the people in this village really did divide and eat that woman?" Mo Yu said, then immediately covered his mouth.
A wave of nausea washed over me. Although the woman wasn't human, she had still interacted with these villagers. How could they bring themselves to eat her?
"It's not surprising that they would do anything for their own selfish desires." Si Nansheng stood up and slowly spoke, looking at Mo Yu's expression of wanting to vomit but being unable to.
"Then what should we do? Expose the disgusting things they've done, or..." Wen Luoya asked, frowning.
“Weren’t those villagers looking for their children? Now that we’ve found them, how can we not take them back? To be honest, I also want to hear what they really think.”
Ye Yanqing gently patted Si Nansheng's head, and Wen Luoya took out a storage ring and put all the swaddling clothes and children's remains into it.
"You're back?" Nan Qingfeng, who had been anxiously waiting in the courtyard, rushed to greet Si Nansheng and the others when he saw them return.
"What's wrong?" Nan Qingfeng could tell at a glance that their expressions were not good.
“All those children have been found,” Ye Yanqing said softly.
"Found them? Is the child safe and sound?" The silence among the crowd filled Nan Qingfeng with a bad feeling.
Everyone sat in the courtyard, listening to Mo Yu recount what they had seen and the remains of the children they had found there.
Of course, they didn't mention the Fire-Eating Beast or the Five-Colored Immortal Lotus.
"If they had gone any further, I'm afraid the children's remains would have already turned to ashes, and we wouldn't have been able to find them."
Hua Lianyi sighed, feeling sorry for the child and disheartened by the villagers.
"They probably didn't expect there to be an underground magma pool in that crack, did they?" Meng Feifei muttered softly.
The truth of the matter was already in everyone's minds, and the entire courtyard fell into silence.
With a loud 'bang!', the courtyard gate was violently kicked open.
Si Nansheng and the others turned to look, and the one who led the way in was Yang Pengkun.
He paid no attention to the gazes of others, his fierce gaze fixed on Si Nansheng.
"Is there something you need?" Ye Yanqing's voice was cold.
"Si Nansheng, hand over what you took." Yang Pengkun said to Si Nansheng.
"Huh?" Si Nansheng was full of questions. Was this person seriously ill?
They barged in out of nowhere and then inexplicably demanded that she hand over her things.
What should we hand over?
Did she steal something that didn't belong to her?
"What are you talking about? What did my junior sister take from you?" Mo Yu stood up and shielded Si Nansheng behind him.
"Si Nansheng, you little JR, did you break into the cave that Junior Sister found and take the things inside?" Shen Jingyuan pulled Liu Xuewei's hand and walked in.
Shen Jingyuan cursed at Si Nansheng without any politeness, and Si Nansheng raised an eyebrow and looked at Liu Xuewei.
"What do you mean your junior sister found the cave? What do you mean I stole her things? Tell me, what did I take that would make you rush over here to find me?"
Si Nansheng crossed her arms and looked at Liu Xuewei with a half-smile. Liu Xuewei hid behind Shen Jingyuan.
"Second Senior Brother, we just came to ask, please don't scold Nan Sheng like that." Liu Xuewei tugged at Shen Jingyuan's hand and said sweetly.
Si Nansheng smiled and said, "You've already brought people here, why are you still pretending?"
"Nansheng, did you go to a cave by the sea? There's... there's..." Liu Xuewei looked at Si Nansheng cautiously, wanting to ask something, but not daring to say directly that she was looking for someone.
"What is it? Liu Xuewei, can you explain yourself? Tell everyone, what did I steal from you this time?" Si Nansheng pulled up a chair and sat down, looking at Liu Xuewei with a smile.
Liu Xuewei fell silent. She truly dared not say that she had found a child, or rather, a mermaid's child.
"Maybe...maybe I'm mistaken, Second Senior Brother, Senior Brother Yang, let's go back first." Liu Xuewei felt uncomfortable under Si Nansheng's gaze and decided to leave first.
When I have the chance in the future, I'll sneak back to take a look. He's a living, breathing person, and Si Nansheng definitely can't just hide him away and ignore him.
"Wait, you rushed over here, berated me without any explanation, and you think you can just leave like that? Aren't you being too naive?" Si Nansheng said sternly.
