The sickly girl is killing her way through the weird world

To avoid wasting time, I came straight back.

As for the man in red and that encampment?

Once found, they were all killed.

Without any hesitation or doubt, there was no one left in that settlement, just like the previous Fanghuang Village, except for some corpses and lotus flowers growing on them.

As for those who are parasitized and controlled by the blood-red lotus? They can hardly be called people anymore, since killing a person wouldn't grant them a strange lifespan.

Inquire about intelligence?

It's not necessary.

Since we've agreed to kill them all, let's just do it. What's wrong with asking so many questions?

After returning to Changcheng Mansion with Lingxi and Pei Huan, they bought three bags of steamed buns. They ate two bags on the way and left most of the remaining bag for Bai Yao.

"Did Pei Huan buy this outfit?" Bai Yao gently tapped Bai Qian's blue dress with her finger before sitting down seriously in front of Bai Qian.

"Mmm." Bai Qian nodded quickly, but a slight sense of foreboding crept into her heart.

"This outfit looks quite nice." Bai Yao rubbed Bai Qian's cheek, taking the opportunity to do so. Normally, if she wanted to rub the girl's face, she would resist.

"I won't ask you what you did last night, as long as nothing happened." She picked up a steamed bun, put it in her mouth, and took a small bite. It did taste quite good, but she couldn't let it go just because of that.

"I went outside the city last night and caused trouble for some demons," Bai Qian answered without Bai Yao having to ask.

It's not something that can't be talked about.

"It's already spread throughout the city, it spread yesterday." Bai Yao sighed after hearing Bai Qian's words.

"Everyone says that yesterday, a demon stirred up a huge wave outside the city, and then a peerless sword immortal cleaved it in two with a single sword strike, cutting the demon in half along with it."

"Some even say that this sword immortal and the one from Bai Fengcheng's side are the same person, and now people are probably setting up a memorial tablet to worship him."

"The demon's corpse was lying on the city wall yesterday, but it should have been taken away by the government officials by now."

"Right? My Sword Immortal?" Although it was a question, there was no need to ask; everyone knew that it must be related to their master.

The giant python didn't look like an ordinary demon. Although it had no head, its aura alone was more than that of an ordinary demon. Bai Yao hadn't seen the towering waves that the people outside were talking about, but judging from the descriptions, they were probably no less powerful than the raging tide.

Is there anyone in Changcheng Mansion who can deal with this demon?

Bai Yao wasn't sure, but even if they could handle it, no matter who it was or how powerful they were, they definitely wouldn't be as good as Bai Qian. This wasn't about blind confidence; it was pure trust.

But if possible, Bai Yao still hopes that her sister can be safe and sound. Perhaps in her heart, she will still subconsciously regard Bai Qian as the sickly, pitiful, and weak younger sister she used to be, even though that is not the case anymore.

Ultimately, he wanted to stand in front of Bai Qian to protect her.

Bai Qian blinked her eyes cutely, but before she could say anything, Bai Yao stuffed a piece of snowflake cake into her mouth.

"You eat first. Don't worry about this matter for now. It's all in the past anyway." Looking at Bai Qian, who had a pitiful, innocent, and dazed look on her face, Bai Yao still couldn't get angry. No one could get angry at her when they saw her like this.

My only worry is that if things continue like this, I might get scammed.

"Oh," he answered honestly, picked up the teacup next to him, took a sip, swallowed the snowflake cake, and then carefully pinched a piece and put it in his mouth.

Looking at Bai Qian's beautiful face, Bai Yao had a headache on her face, for reasons unknown.

"What do you want to eat for lunch?" Bai Yao asked, relieved.

"Fish slices." The fish slices I ate by Tianhe Lake before tasted pretty good, even though they were poisonous.

"I'll go out and take a look later." Bai Yao nodded. Unlike Bai Fengcheng, Changcheng Prefecture had the Chenghe River, so there was no shortage of aquatic products. Dishes like boiled fish slices were common and considered local specialties.

Bai Qian was holding an orange, still thinking about how to peel it, when she saw Bai Yao hand her a piece of paper. Looking at Bai Yao, she blinked blankly.

"A diary," Bai Yao replied succinctly.

"You need to write about yesterday's and the day before's."

Bai Qian stared at the paper handed to her in silence for a moment, then decided to go find Pei Huan later.

“Ghostwriting is not allowed. I hope to see it when I get back,” Bai Yao continued.

"Oh." Bai Qian lost her appetite for the orange.

After giving his instructions, Bai Yao left immediately.

Sitting in the room, watching Bai Yao leave, Bai Qian stared blankly at the paper.

----

After leaving the courtyard, Bai Yao headed towards the south of the city.

In the early morning, the air in Changcheng Prefecture was crisp and refreshing, but the streets were bustling with people, almost too lively. It was said that the Qinglang Gang, the largest gang in the city, had disappeared for some unknown reason.

The air was filled with the sounds of vendors hawking their wares, and there were many more roadside stalls than before. She even saw people celebrating during the day with lanterns lit up.

Bai Yao didn't know much about this matter, nor did she know what was going on. Ever since she arrived at Changcheng Mansion, she had been doing one thing, and now that thing had finally come to a head.

The south of the city is much quieter than other places. Most of the buildings here are quiet alleys or stalls run by vendors in the evening. It is noticeably quieter in the early morning, with fewer people.

As Bai Yao walked, she was clearly lost in thought and barely noticed what was happening around her.

For example, the figure in blue robes following behind her.

Bai Qian took out four copper coins and handed them to the stall owner next to her. She took two candied hawthorns, casually bit into a candied hawthorn ball, and threw away the yellow paper left over from the sugar-coated fried dough.

Watching Bai Yao walk into a narrow alley, he blinked gently.

There aren't many food stalls along the alley, but inside...

It seems there are some snacks.

The demonic aura was as clear to the senses as a candle flame in the night.

I'm so sorry for the late update. I had a lapse in writing today QAQ. I'll try harder tomorrow!

Then this part of the plot was skipped a bit. The previous part of the plot would have been a bit boring and repetitive if it had dragged on, so it was skipped after the killing.

Please continue reading, love you all!

Volume 1: Chapter 225, Raising Bai Qian into a Well-Behaved Young Lady

Bai Yao entered the house, where a woman dressed in martial arts attire with her hair tied in a ponytail was sitting. Just by looking at her posture, one could sense that she was a very serious, even rigid, person.

Upon seeing Bai Yao enter the house, she quickly went to greet her.

When Bai Yao met her, he didn't waste time with pleasantries and went straight to the point.

"Master Wu, about what we discussed before?" Bai Yao asked directly.

The woman she called Master Wu nodded in agreement.

“I’ve almost finished making preparations on my end. Bai Xing contacted me yesterday, and we’ve already arranged a meeting place,” Wu Ning replied.

“However… I personally feel there’s something wrong with him,” Wu Ning continued. This wasn’t speculation; it was simply a martial artist’s intuition.

Bai Yao was not surprised upon hearing this; she simply nodded.

"It's okay, let's meet him first. As for whether there are any problems, we'll talk about it after we meet him."

---

The weather in Changcheng Prefecture remained gloomy, as if raindrops would fall from the inky sky at any moment. Under such conditions, disasters such as drought were simply nonexistent; at most, there would be floods.

Bai Qian squatted in the corner of the alley with a candied hawthorn in her hand. She had already finished one of the candied hawthorns. Her arches were slightly bent, and her heels, covered by white socks, were almost about to jump out of her shoes. The white socks held her smooth, slender legs together. She tilted her head and looked at the house that Bai Yao had entered.

She blinked, and a white mist instantly enveloped her, disappearing into the corner of the wall.

Bai Yao and Wu Ning walked out of the house without observing their surroundings, and headed towards the other end of the alley.

As the two left, Bai Qian, who had been squatting in the corner, appeared. Looking in the direction they had gone, she ate the last piece of candied hawthorn.

I stood up and stomped my feet a couple of times. My legs were a little numb from squatting, but thanks to my excellent physical condition, it was only a little numb.

I stretched out my palm, and cool raindrops fell into it; it started raining again.

Bai Qian previously thought that the heavy rain in Changcheng Prefecture was due to Qinglang, but now it seems that it probably has nothing to do with Qinglang.

She walked in the direction Bai Yao and the other had left, her shoes stepping into the puddles. Her green dress was soaked by the rain in the breeze, and then, with another gust of wind, she vanished in a flash, along with the gentle breeze.

...

The withered wood creaked, and as Bai Yao and Bai Yao pushed open the wooden gate to the courtyard, the man lying on the deck chair in the courtyard, who was gazing at the gloomy sky with his eyes closed, turned his head to look in their direction upon hearing the noise.

Upon seeing the two people enter the courtyard, his previously somewhat melancholy face immediately brightened.

"Lord Bai Yao, I'm so glad to finally meet you." He quickly stood up and walked over, his voice tinged with excitement, and a hint of excitement also appeared on his face, which was covered with some knife scars.

"Before, I could only contact you through Master Wu. It's so good to see that you are safe and sound in person."

Bai Yao sized up the man before nodding and saying in a gentle tone, "I heard from Master Wu that your name is Bai Xing, right? Aren't you from the Liangdu clan?"

She had no recollection of the man in front of her. Although there were quite a few people from Liangdu's clan, if she had met him before, it was impossible for her to have no memory of him at all.

“I am Bai Qihong’s grandson. You should know Bai Qihong, right? Our family has not lived in Liangdu before. We lived in Ningping Prefecture, the county seat of Ningshan County,” Bai Xing said quickly.

Ningshan County is a county next to Changhe County. It is named after Ningshan Mountain within its territory, which is considered the largest mountain in the entire Liang Kingdom.

“He’s Fourth Master’s grandson, I understand.” Bai Yao nodded without raising any questions.

"I've been trying to contact you because of the situation in Liangdu. You probably already know about the family's situation; there aren't many direct descendants left, which is why we need you to come back with us," Bai Xing explained his purpose.

But contrary to his expectations, Bai Yao only pondered for a moment after hearing Bai Xing's words before speaking.

"Please tell your family that I won't be going back to Liangdu, and they don't need to wait for me."

Bai Xing, who had been wearing an excited smile, froze upon hearing this.

"why?"

Bai Yao glanced at it upon hearing this, but did not offer any explanation.

The real reason is simple: given the current situation, if I were to go to Liangdu, Bai Qian would definitely have to go with me, as Liangdu is too dangerous.

As for her, she was quite restless. She had killed Lady Bai Feng in Bai Feng City, and now in Chang Cheng Prefecture, the largest local gang, the Qinglang Gang, was defeated by this girl in just a few days.

In this situation, if we were to take Bai Qian to Liangdu...

It's hard to say whether to worry about Liang Du's group of demons and monsters or about Bai Qian, but facing demons would definitely result in injury, and Bai Yao didn't want Bai Qian to take that risk.

According to her ideal, she would definitely find a quiet place and live peacefully with Bai Qian. Although her idea seemed a bit strange, Bai Yao's initial plan for raising Bai Qian was to cultivate her into a well-bred young lady.

Although it seems now that things are far from the plan.

Thinking of someone's crooked handwriting and their ignorance of basic agricultural knowledge and physical labor, Bai Yao sighed subconsciously.

The excitement on Bai Xing's face had vanished, replaced by confusion.

“The family needs you right now, you can’t…” He wanted to say that, but Bai Yao stopped him.

Bai Yao looked at Bai Xing and answered calmly.

"The main reason I came to meet you is to talk to you about this matter. Otherwise, even if we rely on Master Wu to relay the message, my family might not believe it."

"To be honest, my family needs me now, but I can't do anything about it. Even if I go there, it won't help. After all, I've never learned martial arts, and I really don't know anything about how things work out at home."

"Please tell your family later..." Before she could finish speaking, the man interrupted her.

"No." Compared to before, his tone was noticeably more agitated, and his face visibly darkened.

"The family needs you." His expression even became somewhat distorted, and he even displayed rather exaggerated body language.

Seeing this, Wu Ning frowned and stepped forward, blocking his and Bai Yao's path.

"You two, come out here. Since Lord Bai Yao doesn't want to go home, then we'll have to take him back ourselves," he said coldly.

As he finished speaking, two gaunt men dressed in brownish-red leather armor walked out of the house, their brownish-golden beast-like eyes staring in their direction.

“Demons from the Hundred Demon Pavilion.” Wu Ning recognized the two men almost immediately upon seeing them.

Bai Yao, standing behind her, didn't speak, but merely furrowed her brows slightly.

As expected, they've gotten involved with the Hundred Demon Pavilion.

It seems that the Hundred Demon Pavilion is the one that wants me to return to Liangdu.

Bai Xing's expression softened when he saw the two demons walking out of the house. He stood still and let the two demons pass by him.

"Don't want to go back? Or do we have to come and invite you?" he said sinisterly.

"Don't even think about running away. Let me tell you, there aren't just these two demon guards here. There's also a demon overseer in this alley right now. You..." As he spoke, his black eyes turned into a deep green beastly eye.
