Xiao Qi lowered her head and gave an answer with a sad expression.

"Feel sorry……"

When Ye Chen heard this, he apologized softly without any surprise, and at the same time sighed deeply in his heart.

At this point, he can already confirm that the mother and daughter who maintain the restaurant are the mother and daughter who Ye Chen saved from the abyssal giant ape.

And Xiaoqi's father, the proprietress's husband, is Baishuang who hunted apes with Yechen back then, and his name is Lloyd.

Although he is an ordinary person, unlike Yechen who has an invulnerable body and strange and powerful abilities, the worry and deep love Lloyd showed for his wife and daughter before he died is enough to win Yechen's heart. Inner admiration and touch.

Such an innocent and brave ordinary person should not be killed by the abyss, but should live happily with his family forever...

With this in mind, Ye Chen's eyes flashed with complicated emotions.

However, Xiao Qi quickly cheered herself up, and then showed Yechen an innocent smile again.

"It's okay, Mom said that Dad died for the sake of everyone in the village. This is a very honorable thing, so I shouldn't be sad, but I should be proud of him!"

Ye Chen was speechless after hearing this sentence.

When the proprietress at the back heard that the topic had progressed to this point, her eyes turned red, her nose felt sore, and she quickly covered her face with her hands.

But Ou Ke couldn't help reaching out and touching Xiao Qi's head, and then responded in a gentle voice:

"Well, you are so strong, I believe your father will be proud of you in heaven."

Xiao Qi nodded and agreed with a smile, and then Ou Keji switched to chatting with her about other household topics, making the atmosphere among everyone change from sad and depressed to relaxed and cheerful.

Ye Chen was listening to the girly daily chat between Ou Ke and Xiao Qi, but his inner emotions had become mixed.

Like this girl, he lost his only two family members because of the abyss, so naturally he can empathize with her experience, and thus resonate greatly in his heart.

Moreover, the voice that helped the Baishuang people at the last moment may have come from the Holy Light itself...

However, before that, the golden light that helped the Baishuang people from being swallowed by the abyss undoubtedly came from his teacher...

Everyone is grateful to the benevolent Holy Light, but they don't know that there is such a man who once saved everyone in the Baishuang tribe in the dark...

Except for the bloodsmith hunter, none of the Hoarfrost people knew this, let alone remembered it, and they couldn't even detect it...

Therefore, Yechen is the only one who can remember Lyle's contribution and sacrifice...

"call……"

With this in mind, Ye Chen couldn't help but exhaled softly.

Then, two bowls of steaming noodle soup topped with sliced ​​meat, green vegetables, and chili oil, and two cups of warm milk tea with sugar, were delivered by Xiaoqi to Yechen and Ouke's table.

"Then, brothers and sisters, please enjoy slowly~"

Xiao Qi, who had regained her spirits, then politely and enthusiastically said this to the two of them.

Yechen and Ouke smiled and nodded together, responding to the girl's kindness.

Immediately afterwards, she followed her mother's new round of instructions and hurried to entertain the other diners who had just walked into the store...

"Hmm...the taste is really good~"

After sending the elastic noodles into the mouth with the fragrant soup, Ou Ke couldn't help covering his face and said with emotion.

"..."

However, Ye Chen, who was sitting on the opposite side of her, did not move his chopsticks in a hurry, but continued to observe Xiao Qi's busy back when entertaining other guests for a while.

Then, he turned his head to look at the Baishuang passers-by coming and going outside the window, observing their expressions of being in a hurry, sometimes at ease, and sometimes leisurely.

These are all survivors who bid farewell to the Eternal Winter Hidden Realm and survived the catastrophe just like Yechen.

Now, they have settled down, and they are all running for their lives.

Although ordinary, it is also peaceful.

But anyone who has experienced it can understand how hard it all is.

Chapter 0506 The Farewell Gift

Observing the ordinary and peaceful scene of the Hoarfrost survivors, Yechen concentrated his attention and remained silent.

However, at the same time, such a question couldn't stop popping up in the back of his mind...

A question capable of affecting the direction of the entire world in the future.

"Hey, if you don't eat it, the noodles will be soft~"

Ou Ke noticed that Yechen's bowls and chopsticks were intact, so he reminded him softly.

Ye Chen slowly shifted his gaze to Oke's face.

At this moment, the bewilderment and perplexity that occupied the blue eyes made him no longer look like the hunter who faced life and death without fear in the past, but like a hunter who was deeply trapped because of ignorance and ignorance. Confused child.

"Oco..."

Next, Ye Chen ignored the noodle soup on the table, but asked Ou Ke such an abrupt question.

"You feel……"

"Assuming that one day, the abyss can really be wiped out..."

"At that time, will the peace and tranquility in front of us...can be maintained forever?"

After hearing this, Ouke's face was slightly moved.

The doubt raised by Ye Chen made her fall into silence for an instant.

Then, the cherry-haired hunter put down the chopsticks in his hand, and stretched out his hand to hold the palm of the bloodsmith hunter.

"No way."

She smiled in a gentle tone, just like a mother educating a child.

"The abyss is just the primary factor that threatens the peace of the Holy Light Pure Land today."

"Besides it, there are many, many things in this world that may destroy the peace you see before your eyes."

"The gap between the rich and the poor, crimes, racial discrimination, class struggle..."

"Even if the abyss can be completely erased, there will always be countless conflicts in our society."

"It's as if... at the moment we are enjoying the delicious food at the table, there will always be people suffering and dying in other places in the Holy Light Pure Land."

"As long as human desires exist, peace will never be enjoyed by everyone at the same time..."

"The iron of the world has always been like this."

"And all we can do is to choose to accept it, isn't it?"

After carrying these sharp and realistic remarks to the end, Ou Ke immediately asked Ye Chen a rhetorical question with a smile on his face.

Yechen's azure blue iris showed a few traces of dark colors, and then he couldn't help scratching his temples with his fingers.

He took a deep breath gently, and asked Oke even more strange questions.

"if……"

"I just don't want to accept this rule..."

"Do you think... it's possible to change all this?"

After listening, Ou Ke subconsciously raised his hands to support his face, tilted his head thoughtfully, and then showed Ye Chen an intriguing smile.

"If you insist on thinking this way, there is indeed a simple and crude answer."

"As long as people can be completely destroyed, or people's minds can be manipulated forever..."

"Then, when that time comes..."

"All the struggles and tragedies...all the injustices and injustices..."

"Can't it disappear forever?"

Hearing this, the bloodsmith hunter's face froze for an instant.

At this moment, there seemed to be a black light penetrating into his chaotic thinking, showing a strange inspiration that was enough to make his hair stand on end.

Then, Yechen's eyes diverged, his lips opened, and he began to talk to himself with a voice that only he could hear.

"This……"

"This approach..."

"is not it……"

Ou Ke saw Yechen's mouth move silently a few times, and immediately asked subconsciously:

"Huh? What did you say?"

Ye Chen's expression froze for a moment, and his bewildered thoughts were brought back to reality.

He didn't know why he suddenly raised those questions just now.

However, a certain intuition in the subconscious told Ye Chen...

This topic should not be pursued any further.

So, while reaching out and rubbing his stiff face, Yechen gave Oke his own answer:

"No, nothing, nothing..."

He exhaled in fear, looked at the bowl of steaming noodle soup in front of the table, and then reminded Oke:

"Okay, that's all for the gossip, let's finish eating the noodles first, it won't taste good if it's soft."

"Isn't this the first line I told you~"

Ouke pouted his lips in response, picked up his chopsticks again, and then, as if he had forgotten the conversation just now, he continued to enjoy the fragrant soup and chewy noodles with such a contented face...

A short but happy ten minutes passed by, and after finishing the noodle soup and milk tea on the table, Yechen went to the counter to pay the bill.

"Fifty-two coppers in total, sir."

The proprietress told him with a smile on her face.

Yechen stood there thinking for a while, then shook the hunter's black ring on his wrist, and summoned a palm-sized bag out of thin air in his hand.

Seeing this scene happening, the proprietress was dumbfounded.

Since both Yechen and Oke were wearing warm gloves, she couldn't detect their expensive tattoos and hunter identities.

However, the strange trick that Yechen has displayed now is enough to make the proprietress realize that this man is definitely not an ordinary tourist.

To be able to walk in the streets of Yirendu in such an upright manner, if it is not a member of the Holy Light Church, it is probably a member of the Orion Hunting Group!

"You...you are..."

After realizing that something was wrong, the proprietress was so stunned that she couldn't speak, and immediately began to recall whether there was anything wrong with her hospitality just now, so as to apologize to these two distinguished guests in advance.

After all, it is an existence that even the nobles dare not provoke. If the other party really makes trouble, how can ordinary people who do business like them bear it?

However, contrary to the proprietress's expression, Ye Chen calmly placed the bag on the counter in front of him.

"keep the change."

He said this to the proprietress in a friendly tone, all he revealed in his words and deeds was that he was approachable, without any faults or difficulties.

"Okay...understood..."

The proprietress nodded in agreement with a dazed expression, not daring to have the slightest opinion on it.

Seeing that Ye Chen and Ou Ke were about to leave, the girl Xiao Qi immediately waved goodbye to them with an innocent smile.

"Goodbye, brother and sister, come and play more when you have time!"

"Well, see you later."

Ye Chen and Ou Ke smiled at Xiao Qi, waved to her as well, and then turned and left the shop.

Seeing the rare guest who treated her so kindly leave just like that, the girl Baishuang couldn't help showing a little bit of loneliness and reluctance on her face.

At the same time, her mother nervously picked up the bag that Yechen left behind, and tiptoedly opened it slowly.

In the next second, the proprietress froze on the spot, as if she had turned into an ice sculpture, standing in place, motionless.

"Huh? Mom, what's the matter with you?"
