I am Guhuoniao, not an umbrella demon, please do not disturb me.

Sorry for the late update.

Volume 1: Chapter 54 Malicious Intent

As if he had seen a savior, Li Zhou knelt down on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly to the true angel while weeping bitterly, his cries so moving they touched heaven and earth.

"Bird, do you still remember me? I was the one who brought you down the mountain, and I took care of you day and night and fed you. Have you forgotten? I also told you many stories and made a birdcage for you by hand."

He knelt on the ground, his legs shuffling forward as he kowtowed repeatedly, crying out, "Save me, Bird! This female ghost wants to kill me! I'm innocent, Bird!"

His forehead was bruised from hitting the ground, leaving a red mark. With snot and tears streaming down his face, anyone who didn't know better would think he was the one who had been dumped in the wilderness. With this acting talent, he would definitely win an award. Bai Qingyu was even worried that Zhen Tian would be moved by his performance.

Fortunately, Zhen Tian was not moved at first glance, but instead frowned. Li Zhou took a step forward and she took a step back. If she were not gentle, she would have already cursed him and looked disgusted.

In Li Zhou's eyes, Zhen Tian's beauty was no longer important. What mattered was that he needed Zhen Tian to save his life. He knew from the beginning that Zhen Tian was a demon and had been trying to manipulate her. In the end, he played the hero and saved the beauty, all for the sake of Zhen Tian bringing him various benefits after she transformed into human form in the future.

Therefore, at this moment, the only savior in his eyes is Zhen Tian. Since Zhen Tian can transform into human form, it means that her strength must be considerable. She can scatter that female ghost, right? And then drive away this woman in black, and he can survive, right?

Zhen Tian is so gentle, she will definitely save him.

Is his relationship with Zhen Tian really inferior to that of these two outsiders?

Li Zhou had an inexplicable confidence; he believed that Zhen Tian had feelings for him.

Otherwise, why would she have waited for him all the way to the back of Kangshan Town while being chased all the way? Isn't this the three-year agreement from back then? She promised to come find him after three years, and now she's back.

Since she's back, she must still have feelings for him.

However, even after Li Zhou kowtowed until his head was bruised, Zhen Tian didn't say a word. He took one step back after another until he finally retreated behind Bai Qingyu.

It's absolutely impossible for Zhen Tian to kill Li Zhou, but it's also impossible for her to save Li Zhou at this time.

He had wronged Zhang Yan and owed her his life. At this moment, even if Zhang Yan killed Li Zhou directly, Zhen Tian wouldn't say a word against it.

Seeing that Zhen Tian was hiding behind Bai Qingyu, Li Zhou was truly desperate.

I don't know where he got the courage, but he gritted his teeth and stood up, his face contorted in extreme pain.

Perhaps it was because he felt that after preparing for so many years, the heavens didn't believe him but trusted an outsider instead, and now they were even leaving him to die. This extreme sense of imbalance caused Li Zhou, who was already terrified, to unleash a force that was hard to understand.

"You traitorous bastard, I should have let you die here back then. If it weren't for me, would you be where you are today? You would have been skinned alive and had your tendons pulled out long ago. You deserve to die a horrible death!"

Zhen Tian was puzzled when she heard this. She hadn't been in any danger back then. She stayed by the stream undisturbed, and there were no wild beasts in the forest that could threaten her. How did it become that she saved her in Li Zhou's mouth?

Clang!

A flash of sword light, and Li Zhou's arm was severed. Bai Qingyu opened the wooden umbrella just in time to block the splattering blood.

After closing the umbrella, Bai Qingyu ignored Li Zhou's wailing and said calmly, "I'll talk to you about Zhen Tian's matter later."

With a wave of his hand, the marriage certificate flew into Bai Qingyu's hand. "By writing the marriage certificate, you have already informed Heaven and Earth. You have not only betrayed this woman, but you have also deceived Heaven and Earth. Your sins are heinous and will not be tolerated by Heaven and Earth!"

"Today I will act on behalf of Heaven and make you give Zhang Yan an explanation."

Bai Qingyu said these words deliberately. After all, Li Zhou was a court official. Who knew if killing him would bring a lot of negative karma? In any case, he wanted to bring up the name of Heaven and Earth first.

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words were spoken, a muffled rumble of thunder suddenly echoed through the clear sky, as if the heavens had granted Bai Qingyu's request.

"Furthermore, you say you've been so good to Zhen Tian, ​​but let me ask you, was Zhen Tian's life bad before you? After you brought her back, didn't you immediately imprison her and deprive her of her freedom? Also, there are people outside chasing her, can you say that this has nothing to do with you?"

Li Zhou gripped his severed arm tightly, his face deathly pale.

"Furthermore, you took Zhen Tian's golden feather and lied to her that you were going to the capital to take the imperial examination. Is this true?"

"Hmph, the so-called three-year agreement is just an excuse. Your real purpose is to have Zhen Tian hunted down, and then step forward to pretend to be her savior. Let me guess, since you've done all this, you must know that Zhen Tian is a demon."

"All of humanity is hunting her down, and you're the only one protecting her, is that what you mean?"

"Let the demon Zhen Tian stay by your side forever, because there are people chasing her outside, tsk tsk tsk."

Li Zhou's intentions were truly sinister. He knew that Zhen Tian was a demon, so he wasn't afraid of her getting into trouble. He spread the word that hunters would hunt her down. Whether they succeeded or not, he would achieve his goal. If someone successfully captured Zhen Tian, ​​he would be the hero who rescued her. If they failed, they would agree to a three-year agreement. By then, Zhen Tian would be exhausted from the hunt and would naturally stay by his side because she would feel safe.

Pain combined with the twisted feeling in his heart, Li Zhou gritted his teeth and said, "So what if I am? You are a demon too. I am a high-ranking official of the imperial court, blessed with the fortune of the nation. If you kill me, you will also die. May you be struck by lightning and die without a burial place!"

"Oh my, you know about this too. Looks like you've studied demons quite a bit."

"Let me down the mountain, and I promise we'll be even!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, is this what you really think? What you really want to say is, let me go down the mountain, and I'll find a master to take care of you."

"Li Lang..." Zhang Yan stepped forward, wanting to hug him, but she only managed to hug empty air.

Bai Qingyu couldn't bear to watch any longer and kicked him back to Zhang Yan's remains. "I gave you a chance long ago. Now, bury Zhang Yan's remains."

No one expected that as soon as Bai Qingyu finished speaking, Li Zhou stood up and started stomping on Zhang Yan's sun- and wind-exposed bones. The already fragile bones were trampled into a mess by his stomping.

"I'll teach you to pester me! I'll teach you to pester me!"

Bai Qingyu fell silent, and Zhen Tian also fell silent. No one expected this guy to suddenly have a relapse.

"My beloved Li Lang!" Zhang Yan cried out in anguish. The man she had sworn eternal love to had not only failed to bury her but had also desecrated her remains.

Volume 1: Chapter 55 She's really a yandere!

The remains were left unburied, and after three years of exposure to wind and sun, they had long since decayed. How could they withstand such destruction by an adult man?

Narrowing her eyes, Bai Qingyu gripped the umbrella, her last bit of patience finally exhausted. This man was utterly despicable; his heart was probably black inside, a belly full of evil, two-faced, and despite his respectable appearance, he was capable of such chilling acts.

It turns out that there is no worst, only worse. There is nothing these people are incapable of doing, only things they can't imagine. They have no bottom line and are capable of anything.

puff!

The sharp tip of the umbrella easily pierced the man's back. Bai Qingyu's eyes were filled with disgust. "I didn't even want to kill you in front of Zhen Tian. It makes me look like some kind of yandere. Do you really think that just because you're a so-called high-ranking official, I wouldn't dare to kill you?"

"If killing someone like you would make me bear a lot of karma, then God is too blind. You deserved to die. Even if there is karma, so what? I'll bear it."

Bai Qingyu wasn't particularly concerned about whether killing Li Guanren would bring karmic retribution. What did karmic retribution matter? It wasn't something that couldn't be offset.

She would never hesitate to kill a scumbag, even if it meant bearing some karmic burden. Not to mention just one scumbag, she killed over a hundred people in Peach Blossom Town without hesitation back then.

Of course, it would be best to avoid karmic burdens, as being entangled in negative energy is quite annoying.

Compared to karmic obstacles, Bai Qingyu was more concerned about the yandere attribute. To chop up the man she once had feelings for with an umbrella right in front of Zhen Tian was strange no matter how you looked at it, especially considering her relationship with Zhen Tian. Think about how she had been telling Zhen Tian almost every day these past few days, "You should stay by my side from now on."

But I couldn't hold back any longer. He's a bastard, a complete bastard, there's no reason not to kill him.

An umbrella pierced the man's heart. Bai Qingyu pulled out the umbrella and swung it horizontally over his head. The hard umbrella surface hit the fragile skull, and half of Li Zhou's head almost instantly collapsed. Blood splattered as he was sent flying.

Not far away was a cliff, so there was no need for a burial. Li Zhou's body fell off the cliff and landed right in front of a bear den. A bear came out, sniffed the scent, and carried Li Zhou's still warm body into the den. Soon, a tooth-grinding chewing sound came from the bear den.

On the mountain, Bai Qingyu shook the blood off her umbrella. "This kind of man isn't worth waiting for. Instead of waiting for him, go see your parents."

Not feeling any karmic obstacles or merits, Bai Qingyu turned to look at Zhang Yan and spoke gently.

This girl is a good girl. Even though her corpse was trampled like that, she didn't break down and become a vengeful ghost. You have to know that the person who trampled her corpse was Li Lang, whom she had been waiting for for three whole years. Anyone would find it hard to accept such a thing happening to them.

The girl is pitiful, and her parents are pitiful too.

Bai Qingyu used his demonic power to seal Zhang Yan inside the umbrella, and then buried her remains before heading down to the town at the foot of the mountain. He took her to see her parents one last time before sending her on her way so she could be reincarnated soon. He only hoped that she wouldn't encounter such a scumbag in her next life.

"Zhen Tian, ​​I... I just think this man is really too much. It would be an injustice not to kill him."

She didn't know how to explain it to Zhentian, and she was worried that Zhentian would be sad because of it.

Zhen Tian glanced back and said, "I actually guessed that you were going to kill him, Sister Bai. I originally planned to bury him after you killed him, which would be considered as ending our grudges. But, this should be the best ending for him."

With such a black heart, how many people will die tragically because of him once he becomes a high-ranking official and gains power?

Don't expect him to be honest and upright. It's terrifying to have such a person in office. Having traveled the world for three years, I have a deep understanding of this.

She liked to linger in crowded places. In the various prefectures and counties, she had seen countless corrupt officials who disregarded human life. Honest and upright officials were few and far between, and there were too many wrongful and tragic cases. After Li Zhou returned to the capital, there would only be more innocent people dying even more tragically than Zhang Yan.

They walked in silence, and Bai Qingyu didn't speak either. It was clear that Zhen Tian was still somewhat distressed, not so much for Li Zhou's death, but for what Li Zhou had done. She never imagined that being hunted for three years was because of this. If Bai Qingyu hadn't mentioned it, Li Zhou wouldn't have admitted it, and she would have found it hard to believe.

The town was like a hornet's nest that had been stirred up, with everyone searching for Li Guanren's whereabouts, and almost every household was being searched.

This is a big deal. An official from the capital has disappeared in their town. If the imperial court investigates, they will surely behead another batch of people. Nobody wants to be the one to be beheaded. Whether Li Zhou is dead or alive is not important. What matters is finding his body or him, and finding out who did it.

Bai Qingyu evaded the investigation and took Zhang Yan to where her parents were currently living.

She always felt that Zhang Yan shouldn't cry for that heartless man. Even if she cried, she should cry for her parents. Her parents had raised her with great difficulty. Who would take care of the two elderly people and see them off after she died?

It's not necessary to rely on sons to support you in your old age; daughters can do it too.

Zhang Yan knelt outside the courtyard and suddenly realized the truth, looking at her elderly parents inside and weeping uncontrollably.

If there is an afterlife, I will definitely take good care of my parents.

It has to be said that the Zhang family elders were also pitiful. They had an eldest son who was killed for arguing with a passing cultivator. Later, they had Zhang Yan and a well-behaved and sensible young daughter. But who would have thought that their youngest daughter would be harmed by an ungrateful wretch? In the end, everything came to nothing.

After crying and expressing her feelings, Bai Qingyu suggested that Zhang Yan meet with the two elders, but Zhang Yan refused.

Seeing that the two elderly people were not in good health, Zhang Yan was afraid that if she went over and found out the truth, they would be devastated and their condition would worsen. So she decided to just take a look from afar.

With a sigh, Bai Qingyu performed a ritual to help Zhang Yan pass on to the afterlife. She was a good girl, and he hoped that in her next life she could be happy and never meet Li Zhou again, and that she could find someone who truly loved her and live a peaceful and ordinary life.

"Let's go." Bai Qingyu said with some emotion. She had only been out of the mountains for a few days and had already encountered so many messy things. It wasn't that she was lucky, but that the world was too chaotic and there were just too many things like this.

"Ah."

"It's a pity we don't have much money, otherwise we could have left something for Zhang Yan's parents. Otherwise, how will they live in the future if no one takes care of them?"

Bai Qingyu sighed, surprised that Zhen Tian's eyes had moved.

Seeing what Zhen Tian was planning to do, Bai Qingyu continued, "You should keep your golden feather for yourself, Zhen Tian. You need to change this habit. Have you ever thought that giving this golden feather to them would actually harm them?"

"How are they going to spend the gold feathers? If they get caught, it will be another tragedy. They'll be guilty of possessing a treasure."

Zhen Tian hesitated, knowing that Bai Qingyu was telling the truth.

"I'm sorry, Sister Bai, it won't happen again."

"Yes, that's a good girl."
