Before her lay the mangled remains of a corpse, seemingly torn and gnawed by a hungry wild beast, marked with the marks of sharp teeth.

Under the moonlight, it resembled purgatory.

QAQ, I got carried away, I'm so sorry everyone (bowing), there's more to come.

I like you guys, please keep reading! (??w??)

Volume 1: Chapter 261, Collapse

Bai Qian and Nian Qi sat together on the steps, glancing at the girl next to them who was covered in blood.

When she and Bai Yao entered the house and saw this scene, Bai Qian didn't feel anything. After all, she was used to it. She often got covered in blood herself and didn't feel anything was wrong.

Neither Bai Yao nor Bai Qian directly asked why this happened in the house.

Nian Qi's condition is not right. Judging from the situation in the room, it looks like Nian Cheng has been eaten by Nian Qi.

Logically, it should have been Bai Yao who inquired about Nian Qi's condition and state, but Bai Yao pushed him out instead, while Bai Yao investigated the situation inside the house.

She also said that she and Nian Qi are the same age and should have common topics.

Bai Qian felt something was off.

If you add up your age from your previous life to your age after transmigrating, you are actually older than Bai Yao.

She should be calling herself "older sister".

Besides, we do have things like shared topics.

How do you break a person into pieces so that the resulting flesh, blood, and fragments look good?

Does this count? Bai Qian felt she was quite good at this.

But Nianqi probably has no interest in discussing this with me.

Tilting his head to look at Nian Qi beside him, he could see that Nian Qi's eyes were vacant, as if he had completely lost his soul.

He poked Nian Qi's cheek, which was still stained with blood, with his finger.

"Bai Yao asked me to ask you what just happened."

Upon hearing this, Nian Qi, who had been staring blankly, turned his eyes and looked at Bai Qian.

"I don't know..." she whispered, her voice so faint it was almost inaudible.

"I only remember going to bed with my sister. We've been sleeping in separate rooms since I grew up. I was thinking of asking her what happened." Her voice was very anxious and even so weak that it was almost inaudible.

“You must also be quite concerned about what happened to my sister…” Nian Qi didn’t want Nian Cheng to get hurt, but she also knew very well that Bai Qian and the other two brought Nian Cheng back because they wanted to get some useful information from her, and it couldn’t be just for their own sake.

So I wanted to help out.

A range of emotions, including self-blame, slowly surfaced in the girl's voice.

“Then…then I can’t remember anything.” Nian Qi said in silence.

He did not deceive Bai Qian; she had no recollection of these events.

I have absolutely no recollection of what happened afterward; it's as if my brain short-circuited halfway through.

When she woke up, this is what she looked like.

as well as......

The stomach, which had been like an insatiable ravine and perpetually hungry, seemed to experience a faint sense of satisfaction.

It's a feeling that almost drives you to the brink of collapse.

Bai Qian thought about it seriously after hearing this.

Then it stopped.

I don't understand.

It's a bit much to ask Bai Yao to figure this out on his own.

However, even though we've figured this out, one thing is certain: there's something wrong with Nian Qi, and it's a serious problem.

If it were an ordinary demon, Bai Qian would not have been able to escape based on her senses. Just like when Nian Cheng was hiding in a corner, Bai Qian immediately noticed her presence.

"Where is she?" Unable to figure it out, she stopped thinking about it and asked about other things.

It was somewhat like an encrypted call, but Nian Qi managed to understand Bai Qian's meaning.

"As for my sister, she should be no different from before."

"In my memory, she was always quiet and reserved, rarely speaking. I originally wanted to lighten your burden by asking about what happened to my sister, so as not to put you in a difficult position," she explained softly.

No need to ask now.

Bai Qian gently shook her head, already realizing that there was most likely something wrong with Nian Qi.

Although his brain wasn't working properly, he could still roughly deduce that Nian Qi's problem was either related to the Hundred Demon Pavilion or the hungry beast that Fu Yue had mentioned earlier.

At this point, a problem arose.

That is, how to handle the annual prayer.

Bai Qian hadn't come up with a solution yet and planned to leave it to Bai Yao to figure out.

Do the simple things yourself, and let Bai Yao think about the complicated things.

While Nian Qi was explaining to Bai Qian, Bai Yao came out of the room and glanced at Nian Qi.

However, they dwelled on this matter for too long.

"Let's leave it at that for now. This matter should be related to the Hundred Demon Pavilion. They must have left some tricks on Nian Cheng to cause this situation. Let's go there with Xiao Qian tomorrow to take a look." After coming out, he immediately set the tone for the matter.

I had thought that once we found Nian Cheng, we might be able to find out about Nian Qi's situation. Now that we've found him.

However, it disappeared before we could even ask. But based on the current situation, we can roughly guess what happened. Next, we just need to find the location of the Hundred Demon Pavilion.

"We'll know when the time comes."

---

It was rare to have a legitimate reason to hold Bai Qian while sleeping, but what happened last night still made him feel a little uncomfortable, which resulted in him not sleeping well.

When Bai Yao woke up the next day, not only Bai Yao, but Bai Qian was also a little drowsy. However, Bai Qian was used to being drowsy, and every morning when she woke up, she looked sleepy and felt like anyone could kidnap her.

As for Nian Qi, although he had already taken a shower and changed his clothes, the gloom on his face still wouldn't dissipate.

They ate wontons for breakfast. After finishing their meal, Bai Yao and Bai Qian planned to go to the Hundred Demon Pavilion's location, which they had learned about from Nian Cheng the night before. This time, Bai Yao planned to go with Bai Qian.

Nianqi was left alone in the room, sitting quietly in a chair, gazing at the moon-white flower branch on the table, its shadow flickering faintly in the light.

Outside the window, it seemed as if some evil spirit was throbbing.

Nian Qi carefully touched the moon-white, crystal-clear flower branch with her fingers. Her movements were cautious, as if she was afraid that touching the flower branch would cause it to shatter.

My emotions were like ocean waves, never ceasing, one wave after another surging endlessly.

The shadow beside the bed quietly extended, and a figure completely enveloped in shadow silently appeared, its silhouette standing upside down by the window, gazing at the troubled girl in the room.

It opened its mouth, as if it was about to say something.

The moon-white flower branch placed on the table flew up almost the instant the shadow appeared and it was about to open its mouth.

"Want to know about Nian Cheng's..." Before the words were finished, the moon-white flower branch had already arrived in front of it in an instant.

Without giving it any chance to react, the flower stalk pierced its skull.

Then countless light and elegant moon-white flames ignited from its body, burning away the body that hadn't even been clearly seen to its full appearance.

The shadowy figure disappeared from Nian Qi's sight.

Nian Qi stared at the spot where nothing was left, and slightly opened his mouth.

There was some silence for a while.

They died a little too quickly.

The shadow at my feet twitched twice.

He slowly stood up, but stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Looking at the moon-white flower branch that had gracefully returned to the table, Nian Qi gently touched it.

A faint purple tinge appeared on her slender fingers, contrasting sharply with the jasmine-white skin, casting a shadow that seemed to droop down from the tabletop.

It reflected on her pale face, which was covered with faint purple lines.

This is the third update. From now on, there will be three updates every day: two during the day and one at night. The night update shouldn't be as late as today (probably).

Love you all! Please continue reading!

Volume 1: 262. If you don't attack me, it'll be my turn to attack you.

"Is this the way?" Bai Yao followed behind Bai Qian, looking around with a slightly wary expression.

They are now in a cave located north of Taiheng. The cave entrance is exceptionally wide, large enough for two giant elephants to walk side by side, and the cave becomes even wider as they go further in.

Dark red bloodstains could be seen from time to time on the grayish-white rock surface through the dim light.

A strange stench filled the air, and the sound of crawling could be heard from the shadows, but when the gaze was turned in that direction, nothing was found.

"It should be." Bai Qian wasn't really sure.

There was nothing at the entrance, but the further you went in, the more chaotic it felt, with all sorts of random objects scattered on the ground, and even some human bones mixed in.

Bai Yao walked up to a large pot, which was big enough to hold three or four people. It was placed in the very center of the cave. She stood on tiptoe and glanced at the scene inside the pot, her eyebrows furrowing slightly.

You can clearly see the bones, or rather, human bones, placed in the pot.

It's like soup made by simmering bones in a pot.

"There doesn't seem to be anything here," Bai Qian suddenly said.

"They've all run away." They could barely detect anything, indicating the cave had been abandoned; the information Nian Cheng provided was useless.

"Let's keep looking ahead," Bai Yao said, shaking her head.

There wasn't much at the end of the cave, just a few cages and a few tables.

The cage was smeared with dark red blood, and the iron cage was bent, as if it had been knocked askew by some monster.

“Here…” Bai Yao walked to the table and hesitated for a moment.

It was clear that the people who were evacuating were in a hurry and hadn't packed everything up; quite a few things were still left behind.

I rummaged through the table and found quite a few things that looked like diaries.

But it's more like an experimental log than a diary.

An experimental log of turning people into demons.

With her hair falling gently, Bai Yao frowned as she looked at the experimental logbook she had just found in her hand, which still smelled of damp mold. Bai Qian, standing next to her, also glanced at it from her tiptoes.

He lost interest after realizing he couldn't understand Gui.

"These should be some attempts made by the Hundred Demon Pavilion. They conducted some experiments in Taiheng a long time ago to turn people into demons," Bai Yao summarized, putting away the pages of the book in her hand.

"Bloating Demon?"

"The swelling demon should be a byproduct, not the main thing." Bai Yao shook her head, but did not deny it.

"It should be a product of the [Chen Yao Tong Tian Formation]." Bai Yao had heard people mention it before when he was in Liangdu. Not only the Hundred Demon Pavilion, but many forces in Liangdu were trying similar experiments.

There are many attempts in Liangdu to turn people into demons and monsters.

As for Taiheng City, it might be closely related to the hungry beasts there.

Bai Qian waited for a while until Bai Yao finished reading the pages.

I wandered around the area on my own.

He blinked, then blinked twice more, staring at the stone wall in front of him.

Her slender, white fingers suddenly shot out and shattered the stone wall.

The cave walls, which were as smooth as tofu, were pierced by the girl's five fingers, which then gripped them tightly.
