The Good for Nothing Seventh Young Lady
Chapter 2710: This Isn’t Despair (4)

Little Tiny knew that Yao Ji's special attention came from the relationship between Du Lang and Vicious Wolf.

The moment she returned to the city, Vicious Wolf was the first person she looked for. She was worried that the familiar embrace would disappear completely from her world.

Fortunately, god was not so cruel.

Little Tiny was lucky, but not many fortunate things happened in the war.

The younger brother lost his elder brother, the son lost his father, the parents lost their son. Parting happened all the time in the decisive battle. Even under the resurrection array of the undead, many people who were reborn still died in the end.

The largest number of them were Knights.

The losses suffered by the Knights had exceeded the total losses of several other professions.

The Knights who came back alive took their horses to rest, and all of them had the best sleep.

They knew that when the next battle started, they would continue to take the lead, and when it was time to come back again, many of them might not be able to return.

But even so, none of them wanted to escape the war.

Before the war began, Shen Yanxiao had said in front of everyone that if anyone could not stand the war, they could leave at any time, and she would not hold anything against them.

Only, Shen Yanxiao's words did not get any response.

No one left The Rising Sun City; no one escaped from the war.

In the Barren Land, there were only souls that died in battle; people who fled from war simply didn’t exist here.

The Rising Sun City's defensive shield was the strongest in the whole Barren Land. Under the frenzied attack of the devil army it remained extremely tough, protecting those in The Rising Sun City.

After Xiu had finished speaking, everyone stayed in the City Lord Residence for a while to rest and prepare for the next round of battle.

Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise, White Tiger, Azure Dragon and Qilin also returned to their masters.

However, after numerous magical beasts returned, Li Xiaowei's heart was empty.

A magical beast who had signed a blood contract lived and died together with its master. At the moment of Li Xiaowei’s death, the other side involved in the contract... the Eight-headed Serpent suffered the repercussions of this contract.

If it weren't for Vermillion Bird’s group of Holy Beasts that desperately tried to protect the core of the Eight-headed Serpent, he would have died by now.

But even so, the Eight-headed Serpent had still suffered a huge blow. When the army of magical beasts returned, Eight-headed Serpent was nowhere to be seen. Together with Little Phoenix and Mini Dragon, he was left behind and not brought into The Rising Sun City until after the retreat.

Now, although Eight-headed Serpent’s life was preserved, his level had fallen greatly. From a mighty and domineering Holy Beast, it turned into an ignorant, low-level magical beast.

Li Xiaowei lowered his head and looked at the small black snake hidden in his sleeve. The sadness that had been hidden for a long time slowly overflowed.

He was now an undead and could no longer sign a contract with the magical beast. His Eight-headed Serpent had turned into a low-level magical beast because of the blood contract between them. It might have already forgotten everything about itself and Li Xiaowei.

But Li Xiaowei remembered clearly.

Before he met Tang Nazhi, after the death of his master, he was accompanied by this Eight-headed Serpent. Although Eight-headed Serpent’s character wasn’t that good, he was a comrade that kept Li Xiaowei company at every step.

"If I can survive this time, I will accompany you in your growth. The undead have a long life; we can take things slowly." Li Xiaowei gently stroked the black snake. The black snake spat out its red tongue; whether it understood what he said or not was unknown.
