Yulai Nuxaren

Mingzhi caressed Yulai Nuxaren's back continuously, knowing she was mourning them for the first time ever since she had been captured and kept in a cellar.

The worst thing was- she knew this kind of situation was commonplace in the cultivation world. Many people get killed easily, their lives are worth nothing, and orphans are left, which a sect might pick them up and nurture them if they were lucky, or they would get captured and sold to some shady person.

She had met many cases like these while she was traveling the Loret Empire in order to catch up to Davis. That place was war-torn after the Loret Empire nearly fell, after all. There were many war orphans. It chilled her heart, and she couldn't take care of them, so she looked the other way, but now, she felt some regret, knowing every child would've suffered like Yulai Nuxaren.
