”Are...are they a [demon race]?” Di Yana asked cautiously.

”No, just the opposite, [White Magic Race] is the sacred race that represents pure and holiness. They are a race blessed by the [Creator G.o.ddess. Ke Li Xi Ya]. Miss, have you heard of the toxin in the [Demon Continent]?”

Taking a few steps away from me, Lei Yi continues to speak, her tone has lost her energy from the beginning, as if she was talking about a story of hers.

”You are saying... the incident where the air, land ,food and water source in the [Demon Continent] emitting a kind of toxin where normal people could not withstand?”

”Yes, but the actual truth behind the toxins are just chaotic mana without a master, if too much of it is absorbed, it will lead to an overabundance of mana, presenting a reaction similar to poisoned. That is why in every squad that are traveling to the demon continent, there must be one party member with a job that uses holy magic, which is [Priest] or [Paladin], so as to cleanse these deadly toxins.”

”What does that have any connection with the [White Magic Clan]?”

Unable to comprehend the connection, the village girl from the eastern village asked, full of interest towards my race.

This makes me feel... a bit difficult to bear.

”[White Magic Clan] is a race that are blessed, they have a racial trait called [Consume Magic], it has the ability to absorb the surrounding chaotic mana through breathing. Having the racial advantage, they can replace the need of having a holy occupation party member, this allows a free slot of occupation in a standard 5 man adventurer party, making them extremely popular in the demon continent.”

What Lei Yi said was basically correct, but the truth differs...

”However, things aren't so simple.” As if she was reading my thoughts, Lei Yi continued.

”There's one more method which further simplifies things, which is a [White Luminous Lantern] —— by imprisoning a kid from [White Magic Race] into a small box, restricting them from growing in size and carry them on the shoulder. From the looks of it... I'm afraid... xiao ge was...

After having heard the words, Di Yana gasped, as a chill went up her spine, using a glance of sympathy, she stared at me that was cowered against the wall.

I don't need it...

This kind of sympathy...

It will only make me feel more in pain.

The atmosphere became quiet, even the undisciplined Wu De shut his mouth in this moment.

At least I can't hear the sound ”Jie Jie ” , at least this is the fortunate part out of all the misfortunes~

Haha~

...

There's no laughter coming out.

”Eh...Sorry, this is my fault, that really wasn't a merry topic...” Lei Yi gently sighed, her small shoulder drooped. With light steps, she came to stand beside me and took off her own cap.

A gentle breeze followed after the motion of removing the cap, reflected in my pale white pupils was a small and exquisite tanned face.

And...

A pale white hair of shoulder length and a complementing snow white pupils that looked like gla.s.s beads.

”Let me introduce myself again...” The girl cupped both her soft hands onto my cheeks, rested her forehead that emits a sweet fragrance on my forehead and gently whispered.

”I am Lei Yi. Xi Ge Li Ya, a mixed blood of [White Magic Clan]... I one of your companion yo.”

I was stunned, from experiencing this warmth of zero distance between us. In the interweave of our breathing, she uses her sweet voice to melt the cold of anxiety within my heart.

”It's okay... It's all okay now... The past is forever gone, it will not happen again.”

Finally, as if she was a G.o.ddess that was born from a potato, she left a faint mark on my forehead.

Lei Yi softly jumped away from me with a mischievous smile and blus.h.i.+ng cheeks and used her slender finger to wipe her soft lips.

While watching this girl, my eyes unknowingly became wet.

Unable to hold back the tears, I scolded my cowardliness inwardly, my fossilized body once again regain back its mobility.

d.a.m.n it...

Living... Ah...It sure is nice to be alive.
