Chapter 470
by post_apiChapter 470: What Is It Like to Have a Daughter?
After her rank was raised to Class S, the speed of the yellow-haired boy increased to a whole new level.
Very soon.
In the eyes of the two girls, Western Village One came into view.
Indeed, humanoid monsters had invaded this simple little village, and the Ant clan was currently fighting against the humanoid monsters.
“Ah, how could they…”
“I called them to help Western Village One,” Lin Yu said as she turned her head.
However, when she saw the red marks on Jilly’s face that seemed to be made by her own long hair, the white-haired girl couldn’t help but smile slightly.
She quickly turned around again, rubbed her face, to avoid laughing out loud.
“But… but they are monsters, how can you…”
Jilly seemingly did not notice Lin Yu’s strangeness, and at that moment, she was more concerned about—
“Who exactly are you?”
“Now is not the time for chatting,” Lin Yu replied without answering.
During the short time they spoke, the yellow-haired one had already reached the front of the village.
Perhaps because the village was far from the exploding meat mountain, there were not many humanoid monsters attacking the village, and the ants that came to help were able to hold them back, preventing them from attacking the villagers.
However, the two girls were not sure if the humanoid monsters had already been attacking the village before the ants came to help.
At the village entrance, there were no villagers in sight.
“These monsters are more than enough for them; let’s go into the village and take a look.”
Jilly naturally would not disagree with Lin Yu’s suggestion.
The white-haired girl gently patted the giant wolf’s large head.
Hearing the two girls talk, the yellow-haired boy slowed down his pace and ran into the village.
The ground of the village was covered with pools of blood, but it was hard to tell whether it was from the villagers or the monsters.
The adobe houses all had their doors tightly shut, but a few of them had their doors open, and these houses showed varying degrees of damage—some had broken walls, while others had large holes in the roofs.
Upon closer inspection, there were still splatters of blood on the ground or walls of these houses.
The floor of the houses showed signs of being broken open, suggesting that monsters had invaded these homes from the ground.
It was clear that part of the villagers in Western Village One had died.
The population of Western Village One was just over three hundred, with more than a hundred families. Jilly grew up in this small village, and she knew almost everyone living there.
So, when she recognized one of the mud houses with an open door, the girl’s face instantly turned pale, and she quickly jumped down from the yellow wolf’s back.
However, although her ankle had healed, the flesh had only just started to heal. So, when she jumped down, her face turned pale again, and a sharp pain shot through her foot, causing her to lean forward…
Lin Yu, who had been watching her, also jumped down after Jilly and reached out to catch the brown-haired girl before she fell.
With Lin Yu’s help, Jilly entered the mud house. Moments later, the girl came out of the mud house, her eyes red, accompanied by Lin Yu. Inside the house, apart from the messy items scattered on the floor and several pools of blood, there was nothing else. It was clear that the house’s owner had definitely been swallowed whole by that monster. The people inside were the family Jilly had been closest to in her childhood. They often visited each other, and when her mother was poisoned and bedridden, it was this family that frequently took care of both her and her mother. After Jilly’s mother died, this family helped the most with the funeral arrangements. They were gone, leaving Jilly with one less worry in this world.
The brown-haired girl cried with red eyes in that family, and even after exploring the land for more than six years, she was still just a girl of about sixteen years old. Lin Yu was not good at comforting people. Afraid of making things worse, the white-haired girl opened her mouth but couldn’t say a word. “I want to go home and take a look.” After leaving that mud house, Jilly said, her voice still a bit choked with tears. Of course, Lin Yu would agree. At this moment, the monster-like creatures both inside and outside the village had almost been wiped out by the ant tribe. However, the villagers seemed very frightened, and even though there was nearly no sound outside, they did not dare to open the door and look. The journey was very quiet. The village was small, with houses close together. Lin Yu and Jilly did not ride on the yellow horse anymore but instead walked to the familiar little house. The monster-like creatures did not seem to have attacked this place, so the house appeared to be intact. When they pushed open the door, they saw that the yard was already overgrown with weeds. Then they entered the house. Inside, apart from the dust covering the furniture and the spider webs in the corners, everything was as it used to be. Lin Yu waved her hand and used her skill “Clean.” The house instantly looked brand new, just like before. “Thank you…” After Jilly thanked her, she walked straight toward a room in the house. She pushed open the door and immediately saw the wooden bed in the room, where her mother once lay as her body slowly grew cold. The girl’s eyes became wet again; she opened and closed her mouth, but in the end, she couldn’t say anything. She had originally planned to take revenge and then come back… “Jilly…” A voice came from behind her, the voice of the white-haired girl, faintly overlapping with the Psychic Call she had heard before. Jilly turned around suddenly and rushed to Lin Yu, throwing her arms around the white-haired girl and shaking with sobs. Feeling the slight dampness on her shoulder, Lin Yu sighed in her heart. She placed her small hand, which was originally a bit unsure, on the back of the brown-haired girl, gently patting her. “It’s okay, it’s okay… Be good…” She used the same way she usually comforts her daughter.
It was hard to tell how much time had passed. Under her comfort, the brown-haired girl, who was holding her, stopped trembling, and her breathing seemed to calm down. But why did it feel like… she was holding on even tighter? “Little Jilly?” After hearing that name, Jilly clearly shivered again. “Don’t you want to know who I am?” “Who are you?” The girl’s voice shook even more, filled with anticipation and excitement. “Just as you thought in your heart, I am White Feather, well… but my real name is Lin Yu. I’m sorry I had to hide my name from you back then—” “White Feather… are you really Sister White Feather?!” Ignoring the rest of the explanation, Jilly first released Lin Yu and then tightly grasped her arms, her wide eyes staring at the white-haired girl in front of her. “It’s me! I saved you from the goblin; don’t you remember? My daughters were there too, and they can testify.” “It really is my sister! Wait… daughters?!” The girl, who had just been overjoyed by Lin Yu’s affirmation, was stunned again by the other person’s next sentence, standing frozen as if struck by lightning.
