“Miss, please do me a favor and give me some water to drink.”

Qu Yao’s thoughts were suddenly interrupted. A white-haired, bony old man crawled on the ground and begged in a hoarse voice.

What was the taste of water? Qu Yao had never drunk water since she entered the devil world. The water in the devil world was poisonous, so were all the flowers and plants.

“I don’t have any water.”

The old man’s eyes were cloudy, and there was a layer of faint mist floating in them. His lips were dry and trembling.

“Is the wine okay?” She handed the last pot of wine to the old man.

“Thank you…Thank you…”

Qu Yao didn’t say a word and left quickly without even saying a word of courtesy.

She couldn’t stand that kind of miserable scene.

In the past, when the devil world went on a killing spree, they had never given those evil spirits and demons a chance to beg for mercy, not to mention that the devil world didn’t have such a thin and weak old man.

Looking at the bustling pedestrians at the city gate, Qu Yao felt as if a lifetime had passed.

In the crowd, a man stopped with an indecipherable smile hanging on the corner of his mouth. He was holding a pot of wine in his hand as he quietly watched Qu Yao’s back.

Qu Yao always felt that the entire city was a little strange. During the day, there were always immortals patrolling back and forth.

She was not worried about provoking anyone. On the contrary, she hoped that someone would interfere in her revenge so that she could kill everyone in a logical manner.

Before nightfall, the bustling Tongcheng had already fallen into a dead silence. The people on the streets seemed to have evaporated without a trace. She was like a thunder that fell from the sky and landed in the courtyard after fifteen years.

The layout of the courtyard did not change. A man wearing coarse linen clothes came out from the small house on the side to check.

He stretched out his body with a panicked expression. When he saw Qu Yao, he was so scared that he quickly retreated into the house. When the door was about to close, she teleported in front of the servant and grabbed his neck.

Before she could ask, the man was so scared that he fainted. Warm liquid flowed out from his legs and wet the floor along with his pants.

“…”

Qu Yao threw the unconscious man aside and covered her nose with her hand, trying to block the sudden smell of urine. She frowned and left, kicking open another room.

She remembered that her sister had stayed in the first room on the south side of the atrium. That room had the best location. When the door was kicked open, a woman’s scream came from inside.

A man roared, “Who are you! How dare you disturb me?!”

The man sat up from the woman’s body and covered her with the quilt. When he saw a strange woman rushing in from outside the door, and it turned out to be a beauty, he instantly lost his previous anger.

He picked up a piece of clothing from the ground and put it on his shoulder. He asked playfully, “Who are you? Which matchmaker sent you here? Why are you so…rude.”

Before the man could finish his words, Qu Yao had already grabbed his neck. Her eyes were red. “Where’s Qu Yue?!”

“I, I… I don’t know. I really don’t know.” The man’s eyes were wide open. He struggled and shouted in fear.

“Ahhhhh…” one of the man’s arms flew out in an instant and landed on the bed. Blood spurted out, splattering half of the man’s face. The woman, who was originally unhappy, let out a heart-wrenching scream along with the man’s painful scream.

“Hurry up and tell me! Where’s Qu Yue?!”

“She’s dead!” The man’s eyes widened and his face turned pale.” She was haunted by evil spirits after marrying me for less than two days!!”

“Impossible!” Qu Yao’s voice shattered all the vases in the room. The doors and windows were on the verge of collapsing, and the echoes reverberated in the room. “If you don’t tell me now, I’ll chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs!”
