Luo Ning stared at Lilulu's face. Lilulu's tone was very calm as she silently picked up the remains of her kin on the ground.

"The eye of the one-eyed toad, 10 gold coins.

The fangs of the hellfire wolf, 30 gold coins.

The claws of the White Feather Dragon, 100 gold coins..."

Lilulu said softly.

Her voice was very small, as if she was speaking to herself.

"Do you know how much these are worth?"

Lilulu raised her hand, which was stained with blood, and touched her own horn.

Her demon horn was round and not very long, with a slightly curled tip.

"The horn of the Demon King can be traded for a city in the Empire."

She smiled, her face filled with helplessness and self-mockery.

"Just because I am too strong, even if my magic is weakening, they still can't defeat me. Otherwise, their goal wouldn't be just to exterminate my forest."

After Lilulu finished speaking to herself, she packed up the items and stacked them together again.

She was not in a good mood and wanted to angrily question Luo Ning about why he let those humans go.

But what's the use? It was just because she wasn't strong enough. If she wasn't strong enough, she would be beaten. Even if she killed those humans to vent her anger, it would be in vain. The humans would come back, and there would be even more hunters hunting her kin.

Races always oppress each other for their own benefit. Lilulu couldn't invade the human continent or bring disaster to them. She could only shrink back in her own demon territory, that's all. It was her own fault.

Moreover, she didn't have the mood to get angry right now.

Lilulu found a clean place and lay down.

Luo Ning sat by the bonfire, skewering rabbit meat on a stick.

The damp wood crackled as it burned. He silently roasted the meat and thought it was almost done. He leaned in, blew on it twice, and then took a bite.

Maybe his cooking skills had declined. Luo Ning felt that the meat he roasted today wasn't as delicious as the previous days.

It tasted like chewing wax, and his throat felt tight. His stomach seemed to resist swallowing the food.

"Do you want to eat?" He glanced at Lilulu, who was sleeping on the ground.

Lilulu ignored him.

"... It's roasted quite well today, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It even releases oil when you bite into it."

Lilulu still ignored him.

Luo Ning put down the roasted rabbit and walked over.

He crouched beside Lilulu.

Lilulu lightly closed her eyes, her broad bat wings wrapped around her shoulders. Her fair face was a little soft, and her curled and thick eyelashes trembled slightly.

As if sensing Luo Ning's approach, Lilulu raised her wings to cover her face.

She didn't want Luo Ning to see.

Luo Ning reached out and poked her.

Through the thin bat wings, he could feel Lilulu's soft face.

"Now I understand."

"I was wrong. I won't interfere in these matters next time." Luo Ning sighed lightly.

"I know they were probably here to hunt monsters, but I didn't know they were indiscriminate killers... And, we are of the same race. Humans are foolishly sentimental, and I am foolish because it's the first time I've encountered something like this. I can't bear to see my own kind die in front of me."

"The enmity between the human race and the demon race on this continent may have long been muddled. The changes in history for thousands of years, what kind of conflicts have occurred between you? To rashly take sides and portray black as white without understanding the situation..."

"I know I acted holier-than-thou this time. Just consider it as me not adapting to the life here for a moment."

Luo Ning squatted beside Lilulu, with Lilulu's back facing him.

Although he said a lot, Lilulu still ignored him, just silently raising her small wings to cover her ears.
