Protecting Her Brother

Suddenly, space distorted, and two people appeared in a secret room. 🐍👹 🍭🐍

The two were none other than Qian Ye and Little Nannan.

The room was completely silent.

A crystal chandelier illuminated the wall, allowing a general view of the interior.

Qian Ye glanced around and saw a crystal coffin in front of him. He walked over, pushed the lid open, and sure enough, there was a boy lying inside.

It's normal for a secret room used to hide a body to be quiet.

There was no one guarding inside, only someone outside the door.

With Qian Ye's current strength, they wouldn't be able to detect him entering or leaving; he could enter this secret chamber silently.

The gatekeepers outside hadn't noticed a thing.

Qian Ye glanced around; the boy inside the crystal coffin was young, tall and thin, and was now lying motionless.

"Big brother, is my brother in here?" The Little Nannan asked, looking at the dimness of the secret room with some fear.

Although she had never seen anything like it before, she was brave and strong because she wanted to see her brother.

Qian Ye reached out and picked up the Little Nannan, letting her see the people inside. "Brother, it's brother... Brother, the Little Nannan has come to see you. Big brother brought me to see you. Brother, can you see the Nannan? Brother?"

"Big brother, is brother asleep? Why aren't you answering Nannan's question?" Seeing that he didn't respond, Little Nannan looked up at Qian Ye.

Qian Ye shook his head. "Yes, asleep, forever asleep."

"Brother, it's me, Little Nannan! Why are you ignoring Nannan? Brother, wake up! Please don't ignore Nannan!" Little Nannan continued to call out.

Qian Ye patted her head. "Your brother is dead. He was killed by those people."

Since we've brought her to see her brother, we have to tell the Little Nannan the truth.

Make her understand the fact that her brother is dead.

They are now separated by life and death.

"No... Brother won't abandon Little Nannan, brother, please open your eyes and look at Nannan! Brother... Brother, I want you, please don't ignore Nannan, okay? Brother, I've always been a good Little Nannan, please get up and come home with Nannan..." The Little Nannan was crying her heart out.

If Qian Ye hadn't shielded the inside from the noise, the gatekeepers outside would probably have heard her cries.

Qian Ye could say nothing, nor did he know how to comfort her. He could only leave with her and her brother's bodies.

Go back to your lodgings.

We'll deal with the rest as we see fit.

"How could someone who was perfectly healthy just suddenly be gone!"

"Who says otherwise? I originally thought her brother would become a big shot after being taken away by those people, but I never expected it would lead to his death."

"Honestly, I don't think those people had any good intentions taking him away. What a pity! This child has been an orphan since he was little, and he's finally grown up, but..."

"Do you think he was captured by those people Sacrifice to death? I've heard that some sects like to use living people to Sacrifice gods, especially things like Sacred Physique."

"Yes, very likely. Because of his Sacred Physique, they never intended to nurture him in the first place. They just deceived us, deceived him and Little Nannan, and actually used him as Sacrifice to fulfill the wishes of some of them, or to be used Sacrifice the gods. So this whole thing is a huge conspiracy from beginning to end!"

"Sigh... I can only say that these siblings are unlucky to have encountered such a thing. It was supposed to be a good thing, but it turned out like this. -(••÷[ ]÷••)-"

"They're so evil, they really did it!"

"What can we do? The Ascension God Dynasty is Houyi of the Heavenly Court, and it's even more powerful now. Even if they killed him, Little Nannan just a little girl; she can't even protect herself. We can't possibly reason with them. We can only swallow our anger."

"These damned things are not human, they're beasts, no... they're even worse than beasts!"

"Well..."

When the clan chief and villagers learned of the Little Nannan's brother's death, they all came to her house to watch and discuss the matter.

The Little Nannan remained kneeling beside her brother, refusing to get up. Her small figure was already covered in tears.

As darkness fell, the villagers dispersed.

Only Qian Ye remained there with the Little Nannan.

Qian Ye prepared some food, pulled the Little Nannan aside, and offered her something to eat.

But she just wouldn't speak.

Qian Ye couldn't do anything about her either.

Despite her young age, she is more mature and sensible than other children her age.

This is also related to her childhood experiences.

Orphaned and without parents, she and her brother could only survive by their own strength, begging and wandering, enduring all kinds of hardships.

Having already experienced the harsh realities of the world and the wickedness of human nature, their personalities naturally mature much earlier than those children who are well-fed, clothed, and protected by their parents.

Seeing that the Little Nannan refused to eat, Qian Ye suddenly thought of a good idea; only in this way would the Little Nannan be willing to eat.

"My Nannan, your brother is dead, and his body will decompose, leaving only a pile of bones. So, are you willing?"

"No... I don't want my brother's body to rot. Nannan want to stay by his side forever and watch over him," the Little Nannan cried.

Qian Ye smiled and said, "Well, big brother has a way to prevent your brother's body from rotting. Do you want it?"

Upon hearing this, the Little Nannan immediately pleaded, "Big brother, please help me, okay? Please!"

Qian Ye: "Then you need to eat first. If you're starving too, you can't keep watching your brother, and then I can't help you."

"Big brother, I'll eat it." The Little Nannan immediately grabbed a chicken leg and started eating.

Qian Ye smiled and started eating as well.

After the two had a hearty meal, the Little Nannan ran off to keep her brother company.

By midnight, the Little Nannan couldn't resist the urge to sleep and fell asleep.

Qian Ye walked over, picked her up, and then disappeared from the spot along with the crystal coffin.

Inside the crystal coffin lay the body of the Little Nannan's older brother.

When the Little Nannan woke up again, she found herself lying under a big tree.

The tree is golden; it's golden from the trunk to the crown and the leaves.

Since she didn't know where she was, she looked around aimlessly.

But all she could remember was her brother.

"Brother... Brother!" The Little Nannan rushed forward when she saw the crystal coffin, and only felt relieved when she saw her brother lying peacefully inside.

Just then, someone appeared behind her and reached out to pat her head.

The Little Nannan turned around and looked back. Seeing that it was Qian Ye, she felt relieved. "Big brother, where is this place?"

Qian Ye smiled and said, "My home."

She probably wouldn't understand if it was described as a small world within the All Things Storage Ring; Qian Ye could only describe it as his own home.

He casually took out two tents and placed them under the Heavenly God Tree: "From now on, this is my home, and it's your home too. If you stay here, you can be with your brother forever."

Qian Ye spoke, he took some water and food and put them inside the tent for the Little Nannan's daily meals.

Once we get back to the Perfect World, we can prepare more food for them.

"Oh, oh." The Little Nannan nodded, believing it was her home. "Big brother, won't my brother rot in your house?"

"No." Qian Ye shook his head and pointed to the large pile of soil under the tree. "Can you tell that this soil is different from the other soil?"

The Little Nannan immediately looked over, her eyes lighting up. "Mmm, they're so pretty with all those colors!"

"That's right." Qian Ye casually picked up a handful of soil and introduced it to her, "This soil is also called the Myriad Things Soil. It can bring withered trees back to life and nourish all things. If your brother is buried in this soil, he will never decompose or decay."

"Great!" The Little Nannan exclaimed happily, grabbing a handful of soil, but suddenly couldn't lift it. "Big brother, this soil is so heavy!"

Qian Ye: "Hmm, this soil is no ordinary soil; it's extremely heavy. Let me handle it."

With a single thought, all the Myriad Things Soil seemed to come alive and flew into the crystal coffin until it was full.

Then put the lid on and place it on the Heavenly God Tree so it will never rot and will always be with you.

"Thank you, big brother." The Little Nannan rushed forward, hugged one of his legs, and burst into tears of joy.

Although her brother is dead, she feels that he will always be there to protect her, so she is very happy. Now her wish has come true, and she can be with her brother every day. In her eyes, her brother is just asleep and will wake up one day.
