Let the Villain Go

This short fairy tale quickly shattered, and Shennai evacuated there, leaving behind countless half-demons. Only then did the villagers know that they were fooled. They started to smash the churches in anger, toppled the idol, and destroyed the laboratory. But anger didn’t change anything.

The sky darkened, and it began to rain. It was still the same familiar street. A demon with a human face and a bird’s body slowly moved through the rain, letting the pouring rain wet her black feathers.

A door opened in a room. “It’s Xiaoyan,” the little friend’s familiar voice sounded.

He was quickly pulled back by the family, and the door slammed shut.

“Don’t talk to her, she is already a demon,” there was such a word from inside the house.

The old woman in the grocery store, who had always been amiable to her, had a gloomy face and peered at her behind the curtains. When she saw her, she closed the curtains in panic

She staggered to the door of her house and knocked on the door for a long time. There was silence in the house. Her father, mother, elder sister and younger brother didn’t seem to be at home. The answer to her was always the immobile door.

“Go, go back, you no longer belong here.”

A young man stood at the entrance of the alley while holding an umbrella. He had golden hair and a face that was perfect to be human.

His umbrella stretched out to shield Xiaoyan from the wind and rain, and stretched out cold hands to hold her wings.

“Brother Ah Xiao, they all say that I am a demon. I am not a demon, I am obviously a human, I am really a human. Ooo.”

“Don’t cry, they say we are demons. That’s because our number is too small. When I turn all people into our partners then we all will be humans, they will be demons,” Ah Xiao smiled. His smile was so beautiful. Even in the dark rainy night, it was also covered with a layer of light, “If we get many partners, won’t you be happy?”

“Really? Will there really be many partners?” Xiaoyan looked at him.

“Really, I swear to you that there will be our own town, which will be full of our partners,” Ah Xiao stretched out his arm. The black blood left from his white wrist, landed on the ground, and fell into the rain. The whole world was covered by that piece of black water.

The eye closed in the sky and suddenly shed a long tear of blood.

The earth began to shake, the streets cracked, the rain poured back like waves, and countless houses were destroyed. The huge vortex swept everything into it. The surrounding scenery collapsed, and the world built by spiritual power began to get destroyed.

Chu Qianxun was on guard, and the huge wind blade was scraped in the rain, arranging all the cracks that followed the collapse of the space.

There was a dazzling white light in front of her eyes, and she grabbed Xiaoyan in front. They both drilled into the flashing gap and rolled back into the real world.

As soon as Chu Qianxun returned to the real world. She turned over and held Xiaoyan, and raised a knife.

“Sister Qianxun, are you going to kill me?” Xiaoyan recovered from the illusion. She was lying under Chu Qianxun, but she waa not struggling. Her dark eyes looked at Chu Qianxun and asked quietly, “Do you want to kill me because I’m a demon?”

Chu Qianxun looked at the clean and immature face and thought of what she did, “Xiaoyan, do you know what you did?  You poisoned the water well like that. Don’t you know how many people got killed?”

She was a very simple child, and could easily be shaped into pure white or pure black under extreme circumstances.

“I saw it.” Xiao Yan lowered her eyes, “A lot of people died, and many people became demons like me. They and their families were in pain and cried so loudly. I think it may be my fault now.”

There was a trace of confusion in her eyes, “We are demons and are not qualified to live in this world. Ah Xiao said that unless there are many, many companions and everyone lives together, no one will think we are demons anymore. Sister Qianxun, I know we are wrong, but Ah Xiao may not be willing to change. I can’t change him. You kill me.”

“You are not a demon, you are the same as me. You have the qualification to live in this world. No matter who it is, as long as it is a life, no one has the qualification to deny its existence. You… just did something wrong,” Chu Qianxun’s tone revealed an unprecedented gentleness, with sadness in her eyes that she did not know.

Her hands were stained with blood.

“Maybe one day, whether it was a child like you, or a human being, a saint, or even those demons, everyone will be able to live in peace in the sun.”

Xiaoyan was confused by the unreachable dream. She looked at the long black knife that pierced into her chest and gently asked, “Really?”

The black feather suddenly burned like a flame. The hot temperature forced Chu Qianxun to let her go. The feathers in the flame spread its wings, and disappeared out of thin air.

“She applied fire-burning potions to her body and escaped by burning herself,” Xin Ziming caught up from behind.

Chu Qianxun looked down at her blood-stained hands. When the knife tip pierced the child’s chest, she hesitated.

She let her run away with an injury.
