My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel - Chapter 187
187: Chapter 187: Qing 187: Chapter 187: Qing “Miss?!”
Gu Xing turned his head stiffly, his gaze shifting back and forth between Qing Shuang and Fei Yue.
If this Ghost Race member called them ‘Miss,’ that would imply…
The person before them was likely related to Qing Shuang and Fei Yue’s father!
It was even very possible that this Ghost Race member…
was a subordinate of their father!
Qing Shuang and Fei Yue clearly realized this as well.
Their beautiful eyes were locked onto the Ghost Race member kneeling on one knee, their pupils trembling slightly.
Father?!
That term had become so distant for them.
In their memories, “Qing” was the strongest among the younger generation of the Ghost Race, bearing the responsibility of guarding the entire clan.
During their childhood, the days they spent with their father were countable.
At this moment, suddenly being addressed so respectfully by a member of the Ghost Race…
even the usually calm Qing Shuang stood there stunned.
“Miss!
Lord Qing thinks about you both all the time!”
The eyes of the Ghost Race member were filled with excitement as he looked at the two of them.
As the right-hand man of “Qing”-Shan, he knew his leader’s longing all too well.
Countless days and nights, he had seen that powerful man sitting alone, his gaze filled with unending yearning.
When that upheaval occurred back then…
Qing had just broken through the Monarch Peak.
Facing the coercion of several Ghost Race elders, he had no choice but to compromise.
The more important reason was…
The death of his beloved wife made his heart die along with her.
That’s why he willingly accepted the punishment of exile to the Forbidden Land.
But now-
Qing’s two daughters were right in front of him!
He firmly believed this would reignite Lord Qing’s fighting spirit!
But this was clearly not the place to talk.
“Miss, it’s too dangerous here,” Shan’s expression suddenly turned stern, “Please follow me and leave quickly!”
The golden pillar of light that shot up to the sky not only attracted them but also a large number of the Demon Race.
At this moment.
The leader was leading the Ghost Race elites in intercepting the Demon Race army, and they must have already engaged…
“Boom–!!!”
The deafening sound of an explosion suddenly erupted, and a violent shockwave swept over.
Shan’s face changed dramatically.
This was the Demon Race’s territory, and the longer they stayed, the more Demons would gather!
They must return to the residence quickly!
Just as he was about to lead Qing Shuang and Fei Yue away…
he suddenly seemed to realize something, his eyes widening sharply.
He had been too excited upon seeing the two young ladies to notice something earlier.
His young lady…
seemed to have become the contracted beast of this human!
Shan’s gaze suddenly turned cold, fixing on Gu Xing.
You must understand, they were not those old-fashioned traditional Ghost Race villagers.
As Qing’s direct subordinates, they never cared about such matters.
In their eyes, Qing Shuang and Fei Yue were Qing’s daughters.
They were their young ladies!
But now…
Their two young ladies had been contracted by a human.
Without much thought, he assumed…
the two young ladies must have been coerced by this human into signing a contract.
After all, the two young ladies had very low talent, and the purpose of this human contracting them…
Shan’s fingers clenched suddenly, a trace of killing intent in his eyes.
But then…
Qing Shuang and Fei Yue noticed the hostility in the Ghost Race’s eyes and immediately stepped in front of Gu Xing.
Qing Shuang’s icy blue eyes glinted sharply, and even Fei Yue’s small face turned unusually stern.
To them, Gu Xing was not only their savior.
He was also their master, whom they would protect for a lifetime!
He not only healed their defects but also elevated Qing Shuang’s talent to Myth Five Stars.
Such kindness, they had no way to repay.
Therefore, the moment they sensed the Ghost Race’s intent, they immediately stood in front of Gu Xing.
“He is our master!
He will always be our master!”
Fei Yue spoke word by word, her voice filled with unprecedented determination.
Qing Shuang did not speak, but the same thought was reflected in her eyes.
When the Ghost Race member saw Qing Shuang and Fei Yue’s actions, he was momentarily stunned, but quickly realized he had misunderstood the human.
After all, being so supported by the young ladies meant the human had not mistreated them.
He might even have been a benefactor to them.
Thinking of this, a hint of regret flashed in Shan’s eyes.
It was then he realized that his earlier attitude had been too rude.
“My deepest apologies!”
He bowed solemnly, his voice carrying genuine remorse.
But Gu Xing waved his hand dismissively, not minding it.
He understood the mindset of these top-tier races too well.
To these top-tier races…
having a member contracted by a human would elicit the same reaction.
Moreover, Qing Shuang and Fei Yue held a high status.
It was no surprise the Ghost Race had reacted the way he did.
“Let’s leave here first!”
Shan nodded in agreement.
In the next moment, he waved his hand.
An intense power of space surged like a tide, enveloping everyone.
As silvery light flickered, their figures gradually became transparent and eventually disappeared.
…
At the same time.
Not far from Gu Xing and the others.
Qing stood with his hands behind his back, his dark robe billowing in the Demonic Qi.
In front of him, three corpses of Monarch Level Demon Monarchs slowly turned into black mist and dissipated.
“Leader…”
Cai slowly stepped forward.
As the second-in-command of the Forbidden Ghost Clan’s residence, her amber eyes carried a trace of worry.
“The Demon Race is still reinforcing without end, we should retreat.”
She paused here, lowering her voice a bit:
“The third has already sent word back, saying that those who entered the Forbidden Land have safely returned to the residence…”
“He also specifically mentioned having a surprise for you.”
However, hearing these words, there was not a trace of emotion in Qing’s eyes.
Surprise?!
Since the day his wife fell and his beloved daughters were expelled from the Ghost Race, it seemed his heart had been forever frozen.
Even his closest subordinates found it hard to see any emotion in his eyes.
“Hmm.”
With a brief response, Qing slowly raised his right hand.
In an instant, a vast amount of Ghost Qi surged out like a tsunami, clearing all the Demons within several miles.
Then, he slowly turned and stepped into the space rift behind him.
Cai watched the leader’s back and sighed silently.
As one of Qing’s earliest followers, she understood better than anyone the brilliance this Ghost Race genius once had.
But now…
“Withdraw.”
With Cai’s command, several spatial rifts opened in the void.
A few Monarch Level Ghost Race members fled into them, all casting glances back at the direction where the Demon Race gathered before leaving.
Those hideous faces were looming in the demonic fog.
Cai was the last to leave.
Before departing, she noticed the emergence of several unfamiliar powerful presences among the Demon Race, causing her delicate brows to furrow slightly.
Over the years, the Demon Race’s strength had grown too abnormally…
Though with Qing’s strength, the entire Ghost Race’s territory remained unscathed to this day.
However…
If the Demon Race’s strength continued to grow, one day…
They, the Ghost Race, would be annihilated by the Demon Race!
Thinking of this, a shiver ran through Cai’s heart.
She must advise the leader to leave here!
