The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 615

"Ahhhhh!!"

Yan Xiaofang's screams rang in her ears.

Jupiter's consciousness, which was already in the "universe", was instantly pulled back to the current body. Jupiter once again felt the unbearable pain of Lingchi, but the pain was lessening.

It turned out that my mother's "hug" relaxed.

Those slippery and sharp little tentacles left Jupiter's body, retracted into his arms with a rustle, and returned to a pair of ordinary female arms in the blink of an eye.

Yan Xiaofang's bleeding from all her orifices mixed with the tears all over her face, forming a distorted face of despair, unwillingness and confusion.

Jupiter will never forget this face as long as he lives.

Two seconds later, Yan Xiaofang fell down with a muffled sound and died at Jupiter's feet.

Jupiter's clothes were torn and he was covered in blood. He was breathing heavily and was shaking in place.

"Boy, are you dead? Just say something if you're not dead." A man's voice came from behind.

Jupiter endured the pain and slowly turned around. The person coming was a middle-aged man dressed as a farmer.

He wore a broken straw hat, covering most of his face, shirtless, blue linen trousers, bare feet, dark skin, lean, and carried a hoe stained with yellow dried mud on his shoulder.

"No, not...dead..." Jupiter's voice was trembling, and he was in a trance. He thought he was having a nightmare.

"I didn't expect you to awaken at such a young age. Your mother is the Devourer. She was about to kill you. I saved you. You are lucky."

Jupiter looked blank, completely unable to understand what the man was talking about.

The man put down the hoe: "Don't blame your mother, it doesn't want to. Humans and beasts are incompatible. You will know later."

"It's not my fault..." Jupiter's eyes were broken, his voice was sad, and two lines of hot tears fell down his face, "It's all my fault. If only I could let my mom be with my dad forever..."

"Ha." The man smiled half-heartedly: "Boy, how old are you and what's your name?"

"Five years old, Jupiter." Jupiter answered honestly.

"What a miserable boy." The man sighed: "My surname is Yan, so you can call me Uncle Yan. You can't live alone now, so come with me."

Jupiter shook his head and looked down at his dead mother at his feet: "I want to be with my mother."

"From the moment you used your talent on your mother, it was already dead. What's the use of guarding a corpse? Now that the weather is so hot, it will soon stink, grow worms, and turn into a pile of carrion. Finally, There are only a few bones left..." Uncle Yan spoke directly, not treating Jupiter as a child at all.

Jupiter was silent.

"Your mother is dead and no longer exists, do you understand?" Uncle Yan continued.

Jupiter was silent for a few seconds, then raised his head: "Will I never see her again?"

"No, one day, you will be reunited with your parents again." Uncle Yan said, "All of us can be reunited, so you don't have to rush."

"Really?" Jupiter's eyes became hot again.

"Of course, I never lie to people." The dark-skinned Uncle Yan nodded and showed a smile: "So, are you leaving?"

"Where are we going?" Jupiter asked.

"Go home..." Uncle Yan paused for a moment and shook his head: "No, that's not home, but we can go find it."

"Looking for...home?" Jupiter seemed to understand.

"Yes, find a real home, a home where everyone can be reunited, hahaha!"

Uncle Yan laughed loudly, walked away with his hoe, and sang happily: "The river flows eastward, and the stars in the sky join the Big Dipper..."

Jupiter looked at the man's leaving figure, then looked at his mother's body at his feet, clenching his fists with a look of pain and struggle on his face.

Soon, the man's singing gradually became quieter and was about to disappear into the woods.

Jupiter still released his fist.

He raised his hand, wiped away the tears and blood on his face, stepped over his mother's body, and ran after her. …

Feiyang District, Lijiang Middle Road, Blue House Psychological Clinic.

Qilin opened his eyes from the single sofa in the consulting room. He remained in a leaning position, placed his hands clasped on his lower abdomen, and did not get up immediately.

Every day after lunch, Qilin would sit on the sofa like this and take a nap for 10 minutes. He would always wake up on time without an alarm.

Today is the third day of the wanted seven shadows.

Qilin unexpectedly slept for a while longer and dreamed.

About ten seconds later, Qilin sat up straight and looked at his watch. Sure enough, he had slept for 4 more minutes.

He reached out to smooth the bangs on his forehead, picked up the glasses hanging in his breast pocket, put them on, and stood up with a cane.

Qilin walked out of the consultation room and came to the front desk.

Sitting behind the front desk is a young girl with short brown hair and a gentle face. She is the receptionist Miss Qin.

She crossed her legs and held her mobile phone, as if she was chatting with someone. She typed text quickly with her fingers, making a crisp "click-click" sound.

"Miss Qin." Qilin's voice was soft.

"Here!" After being caught fishing during working hours, Ms. Qin took back her phone in a panic, "Su, what do you want Dr. Su to do? Do you want to order some coffee, get express delivery, or pay the property fee?"

"No." Qilin smiled: "Cancel all future appointments for me."

"Oh, okay." Miss Qin nodded and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with Dr. Su recently?"

"Yes." Qilin nodded, "Then you can clean up and leave."

"Ah?" Miss Qin was confused, "Doctor Su! I, I know I shouldn't look at my phone during working hours, but I've finished my work..."

"Ms. Qin, you do an excellent job and you are considerate and decent in your treatment of others. I am very satisfied with you and can't find any fault with you." Qilin interrupted with a smile: "It's not your problem, it's my own."

"Dr. Su, you..." Miss Qin couldn't believe it, "Don't you plan to be a psychiatrist?"

Qilin nodded: "I want to take a good rest for a year and rethink my life plan, otherwise, I will have psychological problems."

"Oh." Miss Qin had a complicated mood and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I will pay you three more months of salary." Qilin said, and took out a black velvet gift box from his pocket: "This is a small personal gift from me."

Miss Qin was flattered: "Doctor Su, this is so polite..."

"Just accept it." Qilin smiled and said, "Don't embarrass me."

"Okay, thank you!" Miss Qin took the gift box and opened it immediately. Inside was a pair of beautiful and exquisite emerald earrings made in the shape of Jupiter.

"Wow! So beautiful! So unique!" Miss Qin really liked it.

"That's great." Qilin breathed a sigh of relief, "I was worried that you wouldn't like it."

"How could it be? Dr. Su has good taste. I like it very much and will wear it often."

Miss Qin was very moved for a moment: "Thank you Dr. Su. I won't say anything nice, but Dr. Su, you are really the gentlest and most charming man I have ever seen. I wish you all the best in the future and all your dreams come true!"

"Thank you, and best wishes to you." Qilin responded with a smile.

Miss Qin finished her work, completed the resignation procedures and left.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the clinic was completely quiet. Qilin returned to the consultation room, dug out a classical record from the cardboard box in the warehouse, turned on the record player, and listened to the passionate and tragic pure music while grinding coffee beans with his hands. Time, Everything around him slowed down completely.

Qilin leisurely brewed three cups of hand-ground coffee, and the mellow fragrance floated in the air.

"Ring-ring--"

The wind chimes rang and people came.
