My sister is Luna

Chapter 191 The Village of Demon Seeds

After a hearty meal.

"Burp~ It feels so good to be full..." Agudo patted her slightly bulging belly and let out a long, contented sigh.

"Speaking of which, why were you wandering alone in the mountains? Where are your family, Agudo?" Cain asked, puzzled.

"Everyone's in the village, I just ran away to play by myself," Agudo said, lying on Qiuqiu's furry body.

Cain immediately realized that there was human habitation.

"Ah, it's getting late, I have to go back to the village, or I'll get scolded again." Agudo looked at the sun hanging in the sky and stood up.

"Hiss~" Just then, a small lizard ran out and stuck its tongue out at Agudo.

"I know, I know."

"Don't rush me, I'll be right back, you go first."

Agudo said casually. The two little ones were chatting back and forth, and this strange scene made Cain find them quite adorable.

It was able to communicate with bears and lizards before, so it seems to have the ability to communicate with different animals.

Kain guessed.

This is Agudo's magical ability, or perhaps it's something she honed by spending years in the mountains—she can communicate with wild animals and understand how to get along with them.

The mountains are treacherous, but the kind-hearted Agudo always helps injured animals, and the animals she helps become her good friends.

"Sister, do you want to come with me?" Agudo patted the dust off her clothes.

"You should call me brother. Can I go to your village? I hope it won't bother you?" Cain tapped Agudo's forehead in an annoyed tone.

"Of course not, I am the king, what I say goes. Let's go, sister." Agudo ignored the first half of the sentence, Qiuqiu hugged her, and then rolled away.

"Then I'll go visit them."

They walked and stopped along the way, and when they got tired, they would sit down and Agudo would tell the legend of Xulin—a moving fantasy forest.

"Let me tell you, back in the day in Xulin I kicked tigers, punched black bears, and even wild boars weighing several hundred pounds couldn't overpower me. I became the king of beasts..."

"Look, this glowing seed I got in Xulin back then is proof. How about that? Impressive, right?"

"This is an affirmation of me, the Great King!"

"Ah-guh-guh..."

Agudo boasted about her glorious past when she set foot there, while Qiuqiu nodded in agreement, completely ignoring her disheveled appearance back then.

They continued their journey, chatting about all sorts of things.

But the further Cain walked, the more uneasy he felt, because there were more and more trees, and it felt like he was heading deeper into the mountains.

With doubts in his mind, Cain soon arrived at Agudo's village.

The moment I stepped into the village gate, a loud voice rang out:

"Agudo, where have you gone to play again?!"

"Village Chief!" Agudo called out.

Demon Seed?

Cain was taken aback; he hadn't expected this to be the village of the demons.

A panda with a long white beard walked out, and his eyes sharpened when he saw Cain behind Agudo.

He pulled Agudo close and whispered:

"How could you bring outsiders here without permission?"

“Chief, Cain is a good person. He even cooks delicious food for me!” Agudo said.

“Even if someone gives you good food, they might be a bad person. You can’t judge a person’s character so simply…” The old village chief rubbed her head.

"Little Agudo, he didn't do anything to you, did he?" the old village chief asked seriously.

"No, how about roasted mushrooms or roasted bamboo shoots?" Agudo thought for a moment and said.

……

Cain ultimately stayed in the village.

Although the villagers were initially wary of Cain, they quickly became enthusiastic.

"Oh my, Cain is such a pretty girl, look at that long, flowing black hair!" Bear Ball's mother said with a smile, looking her up and down. She was even more robust than Ball.

“Yes, big sister is so pretty,” Agudo chimed in.

“I’m a man,” Cain said, patting his chest.

He felt that after his hair turned black, and with the added advantage of long hair, he was often mistaken for a woman.

Is this the price to pay? I should get a new hairstyle sometime, Cain thought.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I misjudged you." Qiuqiu's mother thought it was because of poverty, and apologized awkwardly.

“It’s Big Sister!” Agudo exclaimed.

"You naughty child...!" Qiuqiu's mother rubbed Aguduo's little head.

"whee……"

Afterwards, the old village chief gathered the villagers for a simple meeting, with Cain sitting on the sidelines listening.

"There's going to be another war soon," the old village chief said.

"Are we going to move into the mountains again? How many times have we moved already?"

"I wonder how big a battlefield and what kind of supply line they're going to open up this time..."

The villagers immediately started discussing it.

"Fighting, fighting, fighting all the time! Why do they fight? Is it fun to see dead people? Those guys from Yicheng and Weidu are really despicable!" Agudo grumbled in dissatisfaction.

"Can't we all just live a good life together like we do?"

"Because neither of them is willing to submit to the other, the only way to force them to submit is through violence." Then the village chief stroked his beard and sighed.

"We will be moving deeper into the mountains the day after tomorrow, so everyone should get ready."

Deep in the mountains, the further you go, the more dangerous it becomes. Although the environment is better, the land is fertile, and the scenery is pleasant, there are many ferocious creatures there. Only the beastly demons dwell there, enacting the cruel and primitive laws of nature. The mountains are both dangerous and gentle, embracing life.

If you don't move, you'll die; if you move, you might not die. Both are dangerous, but the latter offers a better chance of survival.

Humans won't tolerate demons and other beings like mountains do; at least, most people won't.

The old village chief had witnessed firsthand how humans treated demons, which is why he led the villagers to live deep in the mountains.

"Why should we back down? This is our home, why should we leave?!" Agudo said indignantly.

“If we don’t move now, we’ll have to move when the army comes to develop the land. The army doesn’t care about our lives. Besides, food is scarce recently, and winter is coming. We need to go to the mountains to find fertile land to cultivate.”

"Kain, Qiuqiu, let's go to Yicheng and grab some delicious food!" Agudo decided immediately.

"What are you going to do? Those people outside kill without blinking an eye. If they catch you, they'll eat you alive. You're not allowed to go!" the old village chief threatened, glaring at him.

He didn't want anything to happen to Agudo. Over the years, they had long regarded this little guy that Qiuqiu had picked up as family.

"I understand, Village Chief. I was just saying," Agudo said obediently.

"Good to know." The old village chief nodded.

So that noon, while everyone was taking a nap, Agudo called Cain and secretly slipped out with Qiuqiu.

"Agudo, have you forgotten what the village chief said?"

"There's not much food left in the village. If we don't survive the winter, everyone will starve to death," Agudo said with a serious face.

"You went to steal food, didn't anyone ever catch you?" Cain didn't think Agudo was very smart; in his eyes, she was just an innocent and mischievous child.

"Of course not, this great king has been there six times, and every time I've returned unscathed. I know the way like the back of my hand." Agudo stammered, trying to appear calm.

His attempt to cover up his embarrassment made Cain somewhat suspicious.

"And now it's the seventh time, let's go!" Agudo waved her hand, and Qiuqiu carried her forward.

Agudo had made up her mind, and Kain couldn't dissuade her, so he had no choice but to go along with her.

"Alright." Cain assumed she was just joking, and besides, he was watching over her, so there wouldn't be any major problems.

I could also go into the city with her to see where I was.

So wild, what will she be like when she grows up, Agudo... Cain always felt like an old father worrying about her.
