Chapter 492: Chapter 493: Old Affairs 30
He hadn’t lived Kasuo’s life, couldn’t understand his feelings, he had no right to make Kasuo live bravely.
Perhaps for Kasuo, dying with Aqi was the best fate...
Wenjue wiped the tears from around his eyes, his eyes red, he squatted next to Hai Qin, putting a hand on his shoulder.
Hai Qin barely managed to sob in his previous position.
"Ajue, sister... she died to save me... I caused her death."
Wenjue firmly gripped Hai Qin’s shoulder, "It’s not your fault, we were just too careless, we didn’t expect this leader of the Sky Swallowing Python Clan still had a backup plan."
Hai Qin, at a loss, held the cub, tears pouring out, "Ajue, it’s all my fault, my fault..."
Wenjue sighed, "She was happy when she left, and Kasuo was with her, she wouldn’t be alone. You can be sad, you can feel pain, but you know, she wouldn’t want to see you like this, forever. Moreover, she left her cub to you, you have to take care of it well for her."
Hai Qin felt excruciating pain in his heart, but his palm still held the cub securely. The cub, not knowing whether it was hungry or what, cried incessantly.
After a long while, he stood up with determination, "You’re right, I should take care of the cub well. Sister hoped that he would be named Xi, so he will be Xi from now on. He is the cub of my sister, but he is also mine!" 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝙢
He took a Spatial Stone from his neck and gave it to Wenjue, "This is the last gift my sister left for us..."
Wenjue took it with a bitter face, "What are you planning to do next?"
Hai Qin looked at the cub in his hand, "I’m going to take him back to the sea, I want to raise him well. I plan to keep sister’s death a secret from everyone, otherwise my father and mother won’t be able to bear it. I will lie and say that sister insisted on forming a bond with the Beastmen on land, and didn’t want to come back."
Wenjue nodded, "That would be best, when do you plan to leave? I can accompany you part of the way."
Hai Qin looked at the devastation around and the Beastmen watching him suspiciously, he slightly collected his emotions, and whispered, "We can leave now, this isn’t a place for a rest."
Wenjue gave him a helping hand, and the two of them stood up and headed towards the forest outside the tribe.
At this time, the little female Beastman who led Hai Qin to find the cub stopped him.
"Wait!"
Hai Qin turned his head and nodded slightly, "Don’t worry, I’m leaving now. I promised not to harm your people, my word is my bond."
The little female pointed at the crying cub in his arms, "From your appearance, I can tell you don’t know how to take care of a cub. Stay the night, I’ll teach you, and I can give you some Milk Fruit suitable for the cub. Otherwise, I’m afraid you’ll kill him in a few days."
Although what the little female said was harsh, she did have a point.
Hai Qin slightly lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, then I’ll impose."
So they stayed in the tribe for another night. Before they left, the little female gave them a lot of Milk Fruits, unique to the Sky Swallowing Python Clan, which were very suitable for cubs.
With the Spatial Stone given by Kasuo, it was convenient to carry the Milk Fruits.
Afterwards, Wenjue accompanied Hai Qin all the way back to the forest where they had come from.
Because they now had a little cub named Xi, the journey was torturous. Eventually, the two of them parted at the seashore, Hai Qin devoted himself to raising Xi, and from then on, they didn’t have a chance to meet again.
