Bai Qian tilted her head as she looked at them and sensed a slightly different aura.

Incense?

Without making a sound, they used the furnace fire to directly refine the incense.

Pei Huan stood next to Bai Qian, watching the girl turn to the side as if in a daze, without saying a word, patiently waiting in place.

I felt the ground tremble twice.

Before anyone could react, the stone-paved ground shattered, and a giant, dark blue python emerged from the ground. In an instant, it opened its enormous maw and lunged at Bai Qian.

Bai Qian, still with her body turned to the side, looked down as if in a daze, not even glancing up at the giant python charging towards her.

Pei Huan opened her mouth as if to remind him.

Before he could even utter the words of warning, he saw the girl extend her slender hand.

Before the giant python arrives, get ahead of it and touch its ferocious head.

The dense, bluish-black scales flowed like ripples in water. Its mouth was open, but its ferocious and incomparable aura suddenly froze.

The other half of the body, lying on the ground, was twisted like a pretzel, with layers of flesh and blood splattering outwards from its interior. A muffled thud could be heard coming from the giant python's body.

Then Pei Huan saw a burst of blood and flesh fireworks, and the giant python exploded like a balloon.

Blood clots fell to the ground like raindrops, snake scales mixed with flesh and blood, indistinguishable and impossible to sort out.

A huge, vertical eyeball rolled at Pei Huan's feet.

Pei Huan watched as Bai Qian gently withdrew her hand and continued to stare blankly.

He silently swallowed back what he wanted to say.

Pei Huan felt somewhat relieved, realizing she had made a mountain out of a molehill.

I'll start writing as soon as I wake up tomorrow. I was too sleepy today. I slept from 10 pm to 3 am and I was still sleepy. I'm so sorry (bowing). I've only written three chapters so far.

Volume 1: 180. It's not that you can't hit someone's head, it's just that hitting their chest is more cost-effective.

The heavy rain continued to fall in Changcheng Prefecture, and the bluestone slabs on the ground were already covered with muddy rainwater.

Bai Qian stood at the door, gazing at the heavy rain outside. She paused for a moment, but didn't seem to be in a hurry to go out.

However, just because she's not in a hurry doesn't mean that the people with her aren't.

Perhaps it was because she was really scared, or perhaps she was scared of the building that was now practically empty, with not a single demon left after Bai Qian killed it, or perhaps she was scared of someone, but as soon as she saw the curtain of rain outside, she hurriedly ran out.

Of course, before running away, he thanked Bai Qian again.

However, Bai Qian didn't care about this matter and watched them hurriedly run out into the rain.

Pei Huan stood behind Bai Qian, looking at these people with a hint of dissatisfaction on his face.

"I feel like their respect for you, Master Qian, is only superficial; it doesn't seem like they really respect you much." She wasn't very satisfied with this group of people. Not just Bai Qian, she could also tell that these people were actually afraid of Bai Qian.

It was all for nothing.

Pei Huan's thinking was simple: anyone who opposed Bai Qian was wrong, including anyone who had a problematic attitude towards Bai Qian.

Regardless of what they're thinking, if their attitude is problematic, then there's a problem.

Is this what they mean by... not being absolutely loyal, or being absolutely disloyal?

In Pei Huan's opinion, these people didn't really need saving.

But since we've already come out, we won't say anything more.

Pei Huan opened the oil-paper umbrella to shield the two of them, and looked at the dense, continuous rain outside.

"Master, what's next?" he asked in a low voice.

"..." Bai Qian looked at the rain and remained silent for a moment.

To be honest, I'm not entirely satisfied.

The original goal of this trip was to find Qinglang, but now...

They killed several demons, but the most crucial Qinglang was still missing.

Of course, the lifespan of the demon obtained is actually quite large; it is estimated to be enough to deduce two more martial arts techniques.

Bai Qian still has quite a few martial arts techniques at hand, which she can try to deduce after returning.

In other words, it's become somewhat troublesome to identify martial arts techniques.

Perhaps when I get back, I'll have to seriously start learning to read?

"Are you going back?" Pei Huan asked next. She could tell that Bai Qian probably didn't have any ideas about what was going to happen next, so she asked immediately.

Bai Qian pondered for a moment after hearing this before shaking her head.

"Let's not go back yet."

I should say that I still miss Qinglang.

Since she couldn't find Qinglang here, Bai Qian planned to see if she could find it elsewhere later.

I forgot to leave any survivors.

Before we knew it, all the demons on Qinglang Gang's side had been wiped out.

Even if you wanted to find Qinglang, it wouldn't be easy to do so.

"Hmm... shall we wander around the city?" Pei Huan followed Bai Qian into the rain and shielded her with an oil-paper umbrella before the raindrops fell.

"No, let's go find her directly."

"Her?" Pei Huan blinked upon hearing this.

Bai Qian didn't answer and walked into the rainy alley. Pei Huan saw Bai Qian like this, but didn't ask her anything more.

"It seems like none of them are open." Bai Qian looked at the roadside stalls. She had noticed this when she arrived; none of the food stalls on the street were open.

“The Qinglang Gang did something like this, so the locals who run food stalls are bound to be a little scared,” Pei Huan explained.

"I reckon it won't be open for the next few days. But since you've already taken care of most of the Qinglang Gang, it should reopen in a few days once you find there are no problems."

"Oh." Bai Qian was slightly disappointed.

"That steamed bun is really delicious."

Pei Huan blinked, unsure which family Bai Qian was referring to, but it didn't matter; she could just look it up herself later.

"Speaking of which, I suddenly remembered that in a few days it seems to be a festival in Liang Kingdom called the Sun Worship Festival. I wonder if there will be any celebrations or anything like that at that time."

"What's good to eat?" Bai Qian blinked and asked.

"...It seems like we were supposed to fast for a day that day."

"Oh." Bai Qian immediately lost interest.

......

Pei Huan couldn't recall who she was at first, but the route Bai Qian took reminded her.

The "she" that Bai Qian was referring to was naturally Ling Xi.

Finding Qinglang on your own is unrealistic. As for the demons and monsters that Qinglang helped, Bai Qian wiped them all out, leaving no survivors.

Finally, the giant python that emerged from the ground could not be traced back to its origin, since Bai Qian couldn't possibly dig underground to find out.

In the entire Changcheng Prefecture, the only person who could probably find Qinglang is probably Lingxi.

However, it's still the same cave. I encountered a water ghost outside the cave before, but now it seems much more peaceful.

Even the Chenghe River next to it looked very calm.

Although it was raining heavily, the river appeared exceptionally calm.

Upon entering the cave, one immediately sensed something was amiss.

The cave was filled with dense moisture, which was to be expected, given that the entire cave was located near the river. However, if one were to add a faint, almost imperceptible, smell of blood...

Almost as soon as I entered the cave, I could smell the blood in the air.

At first, the smell of blood was faint and not very noticeable.

But once inside the cave, the unusual thing became very obvious.

The smell of blood grew stronger and stronger, as if one were being immersed in a pool of viscous blood.

Within this pool of blood, it seemed as if a hand was stirring it back and forth, or as if some eyes were intently watching the two people walking in the cave.

Pei Huan instinctively followed closely behind Bai Qian.

"Something seems off," he whispered to Bai Qian.

Bai Qian continued walking forward with her head down, not answering Pei Huan's question.

The air grew increasingly viscous, as if something was subtly stirring within it.

Bai Qian suddenly stopped, and Pei Huan stopped as well.

Immediately afterwards, the girl, still feeling somewhat worried, looked at the scene ahead.

A thin blanket of blood and flesh was laid out in front of them, the vivid red color instantly giving people a strange sense of horror.

The flesh and blood seemed to be alive, wriggling faintly, as if tiny insects were crawling underneath.

The moment she saw it, Pei Huan felt a wave of nausea, as if she were about to vomit. She was quite tolerant of gore, having seen many similar things before.

But for some reason, the moment she saw these blankets of flesh and blood, she felt only a physical aversion.

Bai Qian paused slightly, gazing at the fleshy carpet opposite her, but didn't seem to feel anything.

He tilted his head slightly, gazing at the object, still observing it.

A slender figure materialized from the fleshy blanket; it was the silhouette of a delicate woman.

Those malicious gazes had just focused when they landed on Bai Qian and the other person.

Before it could even say anything...

A slender, white hand slapped its chest.

It wasn't that Bai Qian didn't want to pat her head, it's just that she couldn't reach it, and jumping up would make her feel a little uncomfortable.

Before its form could even fully materialize, a huge hole appeared in its body, and then its entire torso twisted and shattered, with a violent current of air blowing in from outside the cave.

Pei Huan seemed to hear a sharp whistling sound in the air, and then her black hair danced wildly.

Looking at that white dress standing not far in front of her, and in front of her.

Whether it's the figure of a woman or a bright red carpet of flesh.

It was slapped clean.

Volume 1: 181. Aren't you trusting me too much?!

Whenever Pei Huan watched Bai Qian make her move, he could only sigh in admiration.

This is really a bit unfair, Master Qian.

At least so far, Pei Huan has never seen Bai Qian fail to achieve her goal.

Basically, what we're seeing is that demons have appeared.

The demons are laughing wildly.

Master Qian slapped his hand.

The demons could no longer laugh.

After all, how can you laugh when you don't even have a body anymore?

Thinking about it this way, these demons really have lost all face...

Without thinking too much about it, Pei Huan continued to follow Bai Qian into the depths of the cave.

While walking along the road, you can still see some fragments of flesh and blood, which look like they were just hit by the punch, but were not completely shattered.

The deeper one goes into the cave, the worse the situation becomes than imagined. It is filled with fragments of flesh and blood, and the sight of these bright red pieces of flesh and blood is enough to make one's heart pound with fear.
