Chapter 2501: Demon Clan 33

But it was different for him.

As the elder brother, he bore the weight of responsibilities that came with being the Dao Child of the Demon Clan. These responsibilities prevented him from having the carefree personality of his younger brother. Over time, he developed a more old-fashioned demeanor, reluctant to express himself openly.

His conversations often revolved around the affairs of the Demon Clan. At times, his sister’s impatience led her to chase him away.

Yet, he alone knew that beneath the surface, he was often filled with nostalgia. He longed for the brief moments he spent with his sister, cherishing the feeling of having a family.

The Dao Child of the Demon Clan found happiness in these quiet moments.

Meanwhile, Gu Chaoyan was contemplating when he would leave, feeling a sense of unease. It seemed as though he could discern her true identity at any moment.

Just as she was about to ask him to leave, she caught a glimpse of his expression and paused.

The Dao Child of the Demon Clan’s gaze, usually solemn, now held a unique clarity. There was a hint of dependence and longing as he looked at her—a simple feeling that indicated he truly considered her as an elder sister.

Gu Chaoyan’s heart softened instantly.

Despite his young age and the weight of overseeing matters for the Demon Clan, the Dao Child of the Demon Clan, in that moment, appeared as a youth who had yet to be burdened by the responsibilities of adulthood.

The Second World differed significantly from the Shenyou Continent.

Here, spiritual energy was abundant, allowing individuals to live for a thousand years or more. Having surpassed a millennium in age, the Dao Child of the Demon Clan was, indeed, in the prime of his youth.

Approaching the Dao Child of Demon Clan, Gu Chaoyan gently touched his head, offering comforting words. “Soon, we’ll be returning to the ancient city of the Demon Clan. You’ve worked hard for the past thousand years. We’ll restore things to how they used to be. Don’t worry, okay?”

The Dao Child of the Demon Clan’s eyes glistened with emotion.

In the past, the Clan Leader would occasionally show him this kind of care. Although rare, those moments were cherished deeply.

Time had passed, and the Dao Child of Demon Clan leaned his head gently against her palm, whispering, “Sister.”

“Okay,” Gu Chaoyan responded.

Silence enveloped them, creating a warm and tender moment.

Respecting his vulnerability, Gu Chaoyan allowed him the quiet space he needed.

However, the Dao Child of the Demon Clan, knowing how to compose himself, stood up after a moment. “Sister, I’ll take my leave to prepare for our return to the Demon Clan’s ancient city.”

Gu Chaoyan smiled and nodded.

She observed as the Dao Child of Demon Clan vanished from view.

A sigh of relief escaped Gu Chaoyan as she settled into her seat.

Her emotions often got the better of her, a vulnerability the head of the Undead Race had once warned her about. It seemed he was right; this sentimentality proved to be an obstacle for her more often than not.

Just like now.

Despite everything, she found herself unwilling to abandon them.

Regrettably, she had no alternative.

A sense of melancholy settled over Gu Chaoyan.

However, in the midst of her melancholy, she began plotting her escape.
