Shen Jiawei looked at Wen Ya and touched the tip of his nose in confusion. His mother had passed away early and his father had brought him and his sister with him. Additionally, he had not interacted much with female elders since he was young.

Shen Jiawei had mixed feelings about Wen Ya. He yearned for a mother’s care and concern, and Wen Ya was the only female elder in the Vermilion Bird Family, so Shen Jiawei subconsciously regarded her as his mother. However, when he thought about what he had done to Shen Yanxiao in the past, even though she had completely forgiven him, he felt that he owed Shen Yanxiao and even the entire Vermilion Bird Family.

“The casualties are smaller than we had estimated. The effect of the undead array is very good, filling up the lack of troops for us in time. Lord Xiu’s decision was timely. Everyone was already exhausted, and now that we’re back, we can rest.” Shen Jiawei lowered his head and spoke, not daring to meet Wen Ya’s eyes.

He had seen such gentle eyes many times. Every time, Wen Ya would look at Shen Yanxiao with such care and concern.

This was probably motherly love.

Shen Jiawei was secretly envious, but he also knew that it was an extravagant hope.

His father was already dead, and his sister’s corpse was nowhere to be seen. Due to what his father had done to the Vermilion Bird Family, Shen Jiawei did not even have the courage to bow down to Shen Feng.

He only hoped that he could work harder to repay the damage that their small family had done to the Vermilion Bird Family.

“That’s good.” Wen Ya breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Shen Jiawei who tried his best to pretend to be mature but could not shake off the immaturity of a young man. She took out a water bag from her space ring and handed it to Shen Jiawei.

“You’re tired too. Drink some water and rest early,” Wen Ya gently said.

Her daughter was independent and capable, so she did not have the chance to display her motherly love as a mother. On the other hand, Shen Jiawei, who was about the same age as Shen Yanxiao, more or less made Wen Ya feel that the other party was a child.

Wen Ya was proud of Shen Yanxiao. Her daughter had grown to the extent that everyone was amazed.

“Thank… Thank you…” Shen Jiawei shyly took the water bag and carefully drank it.

Among the alliance army, humans were the most physically exhausted. Demons and undeads were in a much better state. Many demons did not rest after returning to the city. Instead, they wandered around the city and distributed water and food to all the soldiers.

The demons had also suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, there were not many casualties among advanced-ranked demons in Sun Never Sets.

Exhausted, Evil Wolf leaned against the wall and Xiaoxiao, who was wearing light armor, quietly nestled in his arms.

The high-intensity battle had overdrawn Evil Wolf’s physical strength. Not long after he returned to Sun Never Sets, he quickly fell asleep. It was Xiaoxiao who dragged him here to rest.

Xiaoxiao, who had never experienced a war, felt fearful of what had happened during this period of time. Looking at her familiar demon companions dying continuously on the battlefield, her heart ached so much that she could not breathe. During the battle, there were several times when Xiaoxiao was almost torn apart by enemy demons, but every time, Enchantress would save her at a critical moment.

Without Enchantress, Xiaoxiao would have died many times over.

Demons were different from humans. Once demons died, they were really dead. The resurrection technique of the undeads could not resurrect them..
