Chapter 10: Helping

Only children make choices, adults... had no choice at all.

The battle had begun.

Li Qingjun plunged the silver spear. The spider beastkin didn’t seem to expect that she would break the tacit understanding. It showed an angry look. It raised one arm to block. ‘Clang’, a metallic clash sounded.

The spider beastkin’s other arm pierced toward Li Qingjun’s face like a sword. Li Qingjun just tilted her body slightly, and the spider arm brushed past her hair, cutting off a strand of hair.

Then, the silver spear swept at the spider’s waist, but it blocked again. Both sides took a step back.

Surrounded by 8 human-shaped cocoons, Li Qingjun faced the beastkin with the spear. Her fear had dispelled, leaving only a hint of coldness in her eyes.

In the torrential rain, her long hair scattered and stuck to her cheeks. Her whole body was drenched even more than when Qin Yi drenched her, but her figure was straight and motionless like a spear.

“Where is the taoist in temple?”

The spider beastkin laughed strangely. It actually let out a human voice, “I ate him of course.”

Of course he was eaten. Li Qingjun could already see a pile of bones in a corner of the backyard. There was also a taoist robe on the bones. Gêtt the latest chapters on no/velbin(.)com

She took a deep breath and said coldly, “Even death can’t atone for your crime!”

The silver light rose again, sweeping through the pitch-black taoist temple. The force was deflected by the monster, poking a big hole in the backyard wall.

Li Qinglin also came to the backyard. He carried the spear behind him and stood beside her sister to support her, but he didn’t join the fight. It was obvious that he wanted to train his younger sister.

Liu Su was sighing, “These people obviously offended her, why she still wants to save them? The temple taoist? He was already dead, why bother?”

Qin Yi ignored it. He didn’t think there was anything wrong with Li Qingjun this time, but he admired her faintly. He thought for a while, quietly stood by the exit of the backyard, and simply carved an array on the ground with the sharp teeth of the mace.

Simplified small beastkin binding array. This was used to deal with the tiger beastkin at the beginning, but he didn’t know if this was useful for the spider beastkin. Anyway, he was doing what he could.

Looking at the fierce battle in the field, one side had long hair fluttering, a silver spear like a dragon, graceful movements, and a jade face reflected by the thunder shuttling through the sky full of white silk. Just watching it was a kind of enjoyment. The other side could only be described as terrifying and thunderous roars. As their figures crossed, the extreme sense of visual contrast between them made Li Qingjun look even more like a fairy.

“I didn’t think this reckless girl was so beautiful before. Red flower really needs to be set off by green leaves.” Qin Yi complained in a low voice.

Liu Su laughed.

Looking at the human-shaped white cocoons on the ground, Qin Yi still felt his stomach churning. He asked cautiously, “Apart from restraining, does this monster have any special spells?”

“Poison, most spiders are poisonous.” Liu Su said, “I can’t see what else did it learn. After all, it is just a small beastkin monster. In terms of fighting skills, it may not be comparable to Li Qingjun. But in terms of spells, Li Qingjun may not be able to kill it on her alone.”

In the middle of the battle, Li Qingjun flicked away several white threads with the spear and stabbed at the spider beastkin’s shoulder.

The spider beastkin couldn’t dodge. It let out a roar of pain and staggered back a few steps. A wound was actually inflicted on that seemingly invulnerable body. Green blood flowed out.

But at the same time, the tip of the spear was entangled with spider webs, stopping her from pulling back, then a dark green color spread from the tip of the spear all the way up to Li Qingjun’s hands.

Li Qingjun shook away the spiderwebs and drew back the spear. She looked a little overwhelmed.

Qin Yi hugged Li Qingjun and retreated to the door. When the spider beastkin came here, suddenly stopped moving.

It stepped on something and seemed to be stuck. No matter how it tried, it couldn’t lift its feet. It tried to attack Qin Yi and Li Qingjun, but it was one foot away from reaching them.

As it looked up, Qin Yi grinned and showed his mace.

“Treat me as a weakling? My stick will teach you how to ascend to the immortal.”

...

“Thank you for the life-saving grace.” The wandering artists who were released from the white cocoons were very grateful. “When I return, I will definitely go to the Longevity Temple to lit the incense and pray for benefactors.”

“Hey!” Li Qingjun said dissatisfiedly, “We are the ones who saved you. Why are you going to the Longevity Temple?”

“Although I want to thank benefactors, after seeing the real beastkin this time, I should pay respect to the immortals and gods even more...”

Li Qingjun didn’t know how to refute this. She just silently watched them leave with gratitude.

The 3 of them didn’t stay in the temple anymore. They came to the small pavilion outside the mountain. The pavilion was fresh and clean in the rain, which eased the spirits of the three people who had just left the temple with a rotten smell.

Li Qingjun’s gloomy mood was quickly lifted up. She stretched her arms and said, “I actually killed a beastkin monster that eats people. Am I a fairy now?”

Qin Yi thought she was very interesting. In fact, he really wanted to ask. You have held back your urination for so long, do you really need to release it?

He looked at Li Qingjun with interest; Li Qinglin looked at him with interest, “I really want to thank Brother Qin for helping just now.”

Li Qingjun curled her lips, turned her head to look at the distant mountain, and said nothing.

Qin Yi said, “No such thing. I was just anxious just now. Now that I think back, even if I don’t help, Brother Li will definitely not let anything happens to your sister. This monster is not your opponent at all.”

“All in all, Brother Qin has helped.” Li Qinglin laughed, “And Brother Qin is skillful to be able to detect the presence of beastkin here first.”

Qin Yi was ashamed.

Li Qinglin looked at Qin Yi’s mace and said with a smile, “But I really can’t believe that your seemingly insignificant mace can actually smash this monster’s head.”

“Ahahaha, its head is a human head, so it’s not as strong as steel right.” Qin Yi didn’t want them to ask more about the mace, so he changed the subject directly, “From what I heard from Brother Li’s words before, you seem to not believe that there are immortals in the world. A winged tiger can still be regarded as a mutation, but why is Brother Li not surprised by this beastkin?”

Li Qinglin explained, “Brother Qin misunderstood. What I don’t believe is just the exaggerated immortality. I don’t doubt beastkins, ghosts, or the Taoism of subduing and eliminating them. Because there is no evidence about the former one, but the latter has a lot of facts. It’s not like I haven’t killed beastkin monsters before.”

“Oh...” According to this, the “immortal” in Li Qinglin’s eyes was different from that in other people’s eyes. In the eyes of mortals, one was immortal if he learned some spells, but in Li Qinglin’s eyes, they were just people with special skills. They might not even beat him.

If one couldn’t live forever, he couldn’t go beyond the scope of human beings in essence.

No wonder he had no interest in his sister’s “Looking for Immortals”. Maybe there were a lot of “immortal tracks”, and there were also a lot of “beastkins and demons”, but that wasn’t enough to surprise him.

Li Qinglin added, “Actually, it’s easy to deal with beastkins, but it’s much more difficult to deal with people.”

Qin Yi was taken aback, “Why is that?”

“Because the beastkins are nothing special. There is no burden to kill them. Even if you kill a beastkin who does no evil, everyone will praise you. But if you kill people, there will be all kinds of troubles. No matter what your identity is, it’s hard to do whatever you want.”

Qin Yi was silent.

TL: That shows how helpless he was to not be able to kill the State Perceptor with his own hands...
