The sickly girl is killing her way through the weird world

Even I would shake my head at the phrase "more educated than myself."

Pei Huan blinked, wondering what Bai Qian wanted to ask.

Using "爷" (ye) to address someone you respect is a common practice among the people of Daliang, and this term is gender-neutral.

Bai Qian glanced at her, then turned and left again.

No interest.

Pei Huan wanted to follow behind Bai Qian.

But after being glanced at by those cold, clear eyes, he obediently stayed where he was and watched the girl leave.

She still wanted to go over, but thinking about the scene she had just witnessed, which was so exaggerated that it was almost unimaginable, she stopped.

If it were someone like him, he probably couldn't withstand even a single sword strike or a blow from a stick.

She had only ever seen martial arts of this level among some grandmasters in the county town.

To be able to kill an invading demon in one fell swoop, one must at least be a martial artist at the Meridian Opening stage. Martial artists of this level are big shots in Changcheng Prefecture, and you can hardly see them normally.

Not to mention, looking at her age and height...

At the very least, they certainly wouldn't be unknown in this county.

Pei Huan was a little scared at night, so she decided to wait until daytime to prepare a generous gift to visit him. Even if it was just to repay a debt of gratitude, that would be perfectly acceptable.

Pei Huan watched Bai Qian disappear gently from his sight and thought to himself.

[In the seventy-fourth year, you successfully integrated 'divine' into the sword, focusing your mind and spirit on it, thus redefining [Cloud Willow], and advancing [Cloud Willow] to a Grade C martial art.]

[Comprehending Sword Intent: [Yun Liu]]

[Currently Mastered Martial Arts: [Cloud Willow] (Category C), [Continuous Cloud Leg - Deceptive] (Category E)]

Bai Qian had just stepped out of the courtyard when this message came from here.

After killing the dog demon, he gained thirty-five years of demon lifespan.

Bai Qian didn't hesitate at all; when she was talking to that person just now, she had put all of the demon's lifespan into it.

The simulation was completed without taking too long.

Both Lianyun Leg and Liu Dianxue have been merged into [Yunliu], leaving only [Lianyun Leg·Ghost] whose situation is unknown.

Perhaps it's because normal martial arts and martial arts derived from strange lifespans are two different things?

Bai Qian was too lazy to figure this out for the time being. Even if she wanted to figure it out later, she would have to wait until she had learned more martial arts and gained more of her strange lifespan.

Open your eyes.

A strange light flowed in his dark eyes.

She gripped the iron rod in her hand, looking slightly bewildered.

It's like he's forgotten how to use a sword.

Although she had never even touched a sword—after all, a wooden sword probably couldn't really be considered a sword; at most, it was just a toy or something similar.

Bai Qian had this feeling before, but it wasn't clear at the time.

This feeling is becoming increasingly clear now.

She raised her 'sword'.

Following his intuition, he lightly tapped the iron rod out, as if a gentle breeze were blowing and a willow branch was swaying casually and lightly.

It was dotted on the gray brick wall.

Air currents swirled and danced.

From the gray tile wall in front of Bai Qian to the dilapidated brick house in the courtyard, nothing remained.

----

The gray-haired man sat at the foot of the shed, his legs crossed, looking coldly at the two trembling thugs in front of him.

Beside him, a grayish-white rat lay on the ground, but its eerie green eyes were also fixed on the two thugs, as if it wanted to be swallowed whole by them.

"Tell me what happened," Rat said coldly.

"What's wrong with that girl?" His tone was clearly angry.

No one would be happy if someone suddenly showed up at their door and killed their own doorman while they were at home.

The death of Rat Three could perhaps be explained as an accident, but Rat Four and Rat Five were killed in the blink of an eye by someone wielding a broken wooden stick. If I hadn't reacted in time, my second brother would probably have been killed as well.

If I still don't feel angry at this point, I'll probably become a wooden doll.

"This...this is the person that Master Rat wanted to eat before," the thug said tremblingly.

“When we went to her residence to arrest her, she didn’t resist at all and just followed us. We really didn’t know she wanted to…” The thug stopped midway through his sentence.

He met those eerie green beastly eyes and felt a chill run through his body, daring not to continue speaking.

"What do you want? You want to kill all my brothers?" Rat laughed angrily.

"I've only ever heard of demons killing and eating people, I've never heard of anyone coming to kill demons on their own initiative." He glared menacingly at the two thugs opposite him, his face covered in gray-black hairs.

"The Demon Slaying Division of Daliang was only established a few days ago when a powerful demon from my clan stormed their headquarters and wiped out most of the Demon Slaying Division members. Those warriors are now practically blinding themselves and pretending they know nothing. They can eat people right in front of them and they can pretend they don't see it." It moved closer to the thug, its sharp, thin claws gripping the thug's neck.

"You're telling me now that there's a martial artist who's actively looking for trouble with us? And she's just a little girl?"

This is a fact, a fact I witnessed with my own eyes; Rat just can't understand it.

I can't understand how my third, fourth, and fifth babies died in just two days. Just the day before yesterday, they were discussing where to move. I was about to transform into human form and take them to a better place.

Its head exploded, and Rat turned to look at the remaining thug. Its pair of eerie green, blood-red beastly eyes made the thug's heart tremble. Its entire body was covered in gray-black fur, and it had become a half-human monster.

"Mercy, Rat Lord! Mercy, Rat Lord!" The thug kept kowtowing, his head hitting the ground, creating wave after wave of bloody splatters.

“I know where she lives, I know she has family, I’ll take you there.” Her words saved his life.

The rat, who had originally intended to smash the thug's head with a slap, stopped and looked at the man.

"Now... take me there." He spat out each word through gritted teeth.

Volume 1: 17. Divide her into eighteen sections

Bai Qian originally wanted to go directly to Pengzhai.

I was thinking of killing all those rats first.

But after walking around, we found that this place was too far from Pengzhai.

The most important thing is that I'm hungry.

It wasn't that I was hungry, but I was thinking that Bai Yao should have already gone back by now.

It's getting late, maybe we should head back.

Bai Yao said she was going to make dumplings and asked me to peel garlic, but the garlic wasn't peeled yet.

Let's be gentlemen this time and not hold grudges overnight. It's not too late during the day; we can go after we've eaten dumplings.

It's best if it's not filled with chives, as Bai Qian doesn't really like it.

Pengzhai is a bit far from here, but my home isn't exactly close either.

The place where Bai Yao and Bai Qian lived was actually a bit remote. After all, although Bai Fengcheng was a small county town, it was still divided into areas.

The closer an area is to the center of Baifeng City, the more expensive it is, naturally.

The reason it's expensive isn't anything else, it's simply because of safety.

Bai Fengcheng has no city walls, and the courtyard where Bai Qian lives is actually just closer to Bai Fengcheng than the villages scattered around it.

Half of Bai Fengcheng is dilapidated, and the other half is bustling.

But the place where they lived was probably not exactly lively.

There weren't many people around. Bai Qian was thinking about what reason she should give, or rather, what she should tell Bai Yao, when she returned and saw him later.

Lost in thought about this, I slowly walked to the fork in the road.

From the other side of the road, the demon's shadow stretched very long.

At the crossroads.

The two met unexpectedly and collided head-on.

---

The rat was wondering if this was a trap.

Just now, when it saw its two brothers being stabbed to death with wooden sticks in Pengzhai, anger dominated its mind, and it naturally wanted to rush over and devour that girl's flesh and break her bones.

But after calming down, it sensed that something was wrong.

After all, there are no random enemies out of nowhere; this is most likely a trap.

A trap specifically designed for oneself.

There might be something wrong with the Lai family.

But that shouldn't be the case. Now that the Demon Slayer Division has been wiped out, those warriors don't dare to breathe loudly. Even a small demon from a remote border town like myself knows about this.

Besides, we've already said that in front of others, so it wouldn't make sense for us to back down for no reason.

Even though there are only a few of his own brothers left now.

While Rat was still thinking about what to do next.

Under the gentle moonlight, a petite figure dressed in white suddenly appeared in sight.

She seemed completely unprepared, walking on the bluestone floor towards the place illuminated by the moonlight.

They didn't see the one person and two demons on their side.

The cloth shoes clicked on the bluestone floor, making a crisp sound.

The rat paused for a moment, then made no move.

But next to him, Rat Two rushed out.

"Don't rush," it wanted to say, but it couldn't stop the second rat from killing its three younger brothers.

Rat Two was closer to its three younger brothers than to itself, and if its three brothers were killed, the anger it felt would be no less than that it felt for itself.

In addition, there was what just happened in Pengzhai.

Its impulsive action was not unexpected by the rat.

But something's not right.

Rat Big wanted to say this to Rat Two, who was charging forward like a bull seeing a red cloth.

But it's too late.

However, seeing Rat Two rushing towards Bai Qian, Rat Big felt a little relieved.

It should be fine. Back in Pengzhai, Rat Two and this girl were evenly matched.

The outcome cannot be determined in a short period of time.

We can't exactly say that this girl has undergone a transformation in less than half an hour, can we?

Humans are prone to thinking about these things, but that's all they ever do.

It is precisely because they only think that they have ended up in this predicament.

The only change from before was that she now held an iron rod.

But what good can an iron rod do?

In other words, even if Rat Two is no match for this girl, he still has himself.

The confrontation in Pengzhai had already made it clear that this girl was no match for him.

Mouse Two's eyes were only on that small, delicate figure.

It was devoid of any other emotions; it was nothing more than hatred and anger.

Open your mouth and bite her in half; that was Rat Two's only thought.
