The sickly girl is killing her way through the weird world

They wriggled in the puddles like worms, showing no sign of stopping.

That's right, even if the strange creature is chopped into mincemeat, it won't die.

However, it may take time to recover.

Bai Qian's arm was a little sore, so she didn't continue cutting.

She walked up to the earthenware jar next to her and casually kicked it, smashing it to pieces.

Just as she had done in the temple before, the crawling, writhing flesh slowly turned into blood, merging into the curtain of water that filled the sky.

[Defeat the Bizarre [Zhi Gui·Can Que] and gain forty years of its lifespan.]

[The remaining lifespan of the demon is 103 years, and the remaining lifespan of the strange entity is 51 years.]

The strange lifespan given by the pig demon is quite large, but Bai Qian just consumed a considerable amount of strange lifespan as well.

Whether using [Lianyun Leg - Ghost] or Liu Xian's incense, both ultimately require consuming the Ghost's lifespan.

The battle with the Boar Demon alone consumed thirteen years of his bizarre lifespan. Without these forty years of bizarre lifespan to replenish it, he would actually have suffered a loss.

It should still be alive.

Bai Qian does have this thought; it's not a misconception, but rather a fact.

This is probably only most of its power, but perhaps some of its power is hidden in some corner. Although it is barely surviving, it is still alive. If it doesn't show itself, Bai Qian won't be able to find it.

The strange creature is indeed quite difficult to kill. I wonder if it will be easier once I level up Liu Xian.

Looking at the sky where rain was still falling, Bai Qian sheathed her sword.

I stepped into the rain through the dark red blood.

----

Bai Yao sat blankly in the courtyard. The rain was still falling, but she still seemed not to have come to her senses.

The woman's image was still vivid in my mind's eye.

My body was still trembling as I sat under the awning, watching the torrential rain outside.

What kind of emotion is that...?

It must be fear; seeing that dirty thing must have made them afraid.

but......

Bai Yao lowered her eyes.

It wasn't fear, but rather relief.

Watching it walk towards me, watching it get closer to me.

I wasn't afraid; I was simply relieved.

I'm glad I'm about to die.

After all, there's no responsibility to bear for the dead.

Bai Yao was indeed afraid, afraid of what she would have to face when she returned to Liang.

Is it fear of death?

I don't think so. She's just afraid of the responsibilities she'll have to take on.

The direct descendants of the Bai family are almost all dead. The Bai family members still in Liangdu are just barely hanging on. Rather than saying they need so-called direct descendants, it would be more accurate to say they simply need an answer.

Die fighting against those demons, or give up and watch as the Great Liang is completely corrupted by the demons, or even jump into this bottomless demon cave and be assimilated by them.

The answer lies with Bai Yao. As one of the few remaining direct descendants of the Bai family, her thoughts can determine the future of the Bai family.

That's why she was afraid. She knew very well what her family wanted, but she was more afraid of it than of death, or rather, she loathed it.

Do I really have the right to decide this?

If I died on the way, it might be a relief for me, so I wouldn't have to face Liang Du's affairs or Him.

With my head down, I had no idea what emotions were flowing through my mind; those complex emotions were impossible to express.

Lost in thought, she didn't even notice Bai Qian walking up to her without her noticing.

She gently tugged at Bai Yao's sleeve.

"Are you alright?" he asked.

Did the Zhigui attack Bai Yao? But it's good that nothing serious happened.

Bai Yao's eyes were somewhat misty as she looked at Bai Qian in front of her.

Those clear, bright eyes remained as spotless as a mirror, like flowing, clear spring water.

An awkward smile appeared on his face.

"It's nothing." Although he answered like that, he suddenly stepped forward and hugged Bai Qian.

Bai Qian was a little confused, but after thinking about it, she stood still and let Bai Yao hug her.

Bai Yao is much taller than Bai Qian, so hugging Bai Qian like this is like suffocating her with his chest. Plus, the hug is a bit tight, so it's not very comfortable.

"What happened?" Although she knew it was probably related to the pig demon, she still asked.

Zhi Gui can no longer cause trouble for Bai Yao, so Bai Yao shouldn't need to be afraid.

"It's nothing, I was just in a bad mood, but I'm much better now." Bai Yao's tone was lighter.

It was probably because after seeing Bai Qian, hugging her, and feeling her presence, he felt much more at ease.

Thank goodness I didn't die.

Thinking back to what would have happened if she had died just now, Bai Qian didn't know what to do.

She didn't have much desire to live, but even if she died, she should make sure Bai Qian was taken care of.

Otherwise, given this girl's lifestyle, she'd make a complete mess of her life.

Bai Qian pushed Bai Yao away, feeling a little breathless from being hugged so tightly.

Bai Yao released Bai Qian and let out a soft sigh of relief.

Although I still have to keep it to myself, it's still a little better.

Bai Qian raised her head, glanced at Bai Yao, and confirmed that she should be alright.

He opened his mouth, just as he was about to say something.

"Speaking of which, if you were presented with two choices, one is to let a group of people die willingly as they wish, and the other is to let them live, but they don't want to."

"What would you choose?" Bai Yao suddenly asked.

Bai Qian tilted her head when she heard Bai Yao's question.

Bai Yao blinked and looked at Bai Qian. Although it was despicable to let others make choices for her, she really didn't know what to do.

"I'm hungry," Bai Qian replied.

Volume 1: 39. You chose or

"What is this sword?" Bai Yao sat opposite Bai Qian, watching Bai Qian bite into the freshly heated ribs.

In her hand was the long sword that Bai Qian had taken from Pei Huan, a gift from Pei Huan when Bai Qian left.

"It was a gift from someone," Bai Qian mumbled, biting into a rib.

"A gift from someone else?" Bai Yao looked at the longsword in her hand with suspicion.

Although she said she rarely got involved in martial arts, she still had some basic observation skills.

For example, the longsword in his hand at this moment is clearly not an ordinary weapon; you can tell just by looking at the scabbard.

As for drawing the sword...

It also had some dark red bloodstains on it.

This alone was enough to make Bai Yao wary.

"Xiao Qian is so beautiful, some people might have their eyes on you. Don't fall for their tricks." Bai Yao said meaningfully.

She didn't plan to take Bai Qian to Liangdu. Liangdu was a godforsaken place full of demons, especially the Bai family she was in. Bai Yao wasn't even sure how many days she could last after returning to Liangdu.

That's not Bai Fengcheng. There aren't any demons that have taken human form in Bai Fengcheng, but in Liangdu... you can wander around the streets and you might end up in the territory of a demon that has taken human form, and there are demons of even higher forms everywhere.

There's even a so-called Demon King. To be honest, Bai Yao doesn't know why, up until now, the humans and demons in Liangdu have been able to maintain a balance, and why the balance in Liangdu hasn't been broken.

Therefore, Bai Yao planned to wait until he arrived in the county town, then find his family and ask them to take care of Bai Qian.

Therefore, Bai Qian needs to be more vigilant towards outsiders, as there are quite a few bad women out there.

"She gave it to me."

"Send it?" Bai Yao frowned slightly.

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

"I helped her kill a demon." Bai Qian's answer was very calm.

Upon hearing Bai Qian's words, Bai Yao's head became slightly unable to move.

What does it mean to kill a demon?

He looked at Bai Qian very carefully.

Since Bai Qian had just returned in the rain, I made her change her clothes before we ate.

Bai Yao did not immediately question what Bai Qian said.

"A little demon?" he asked after thinking for a moment.

Given Bai Qian's current situation, at most she can only kill a minor demon who hasn't even entered the realm.

Bai Qian only started practicing martial arts a few days ago, less than a week in total.

If it were me, I probably wouldn't even be able to remember the moves. As for the demons that have entered the realm, that's definitely impossible. They could only be some low-level demons.

"I guess so," Bai Qian replied after a moment's thought.

That dog demon, it certainly qualifies.

As for smaller ones... Bai Qian had never encountered any. In any case, they were all killed with a single sword strike. Dog demons and rat demons were definitely considered minor demons.

We can't exactly say that the little mice we encountered in the temple before also count, can we?

"That's still amazing. Are you alright?" Bai Yao's first concern was Bai Yao's safety.

"No." Bai Qian shook her head.

"That's good." Bai Yao fell silent after saying that, resting her chin on her hand as she watched the black-haired girl nibble on the ribs, one small bite after another.

"Judging from this, Xiao Qian should be considered a genius." Let's not talk about that hammer technique. That thing is not suitable for Bai Qian to practice at all. She should just learn the Snow Willow Sword in the next few days and be able to kill a little demon with it.

It's fair to say that Bai Qian is a genius.

"Do you want me to demonstrate it once?" Bai Qian asked. She wasn't particularly interested in this kind of thing, but to put Bai Yao at ease, demonstrating it once wouldn't take too much effort.

"No need, I don't understand this stuff either. Even if you demonstrate, Xiaoqian, I won't be able to see anything." Bai Yao shook her head. She had taught Bai Qian martial arts simply so that Bai Qian could practice and improve her physical fitness.

But for now, I won't mislead anyone. Once we get to the county town, I can use the Bai family's connections to find some martial artists to teach Bai Qian.

Finding a martial artist with open meridians to teach Bai Qian would definitely be better than me teaching her haphazardly here.

"Oh." Bai Qian nodded indifferently; she didn't seem to care.

Martial arts are not for performance; in her view, they are for killing demons and killing people.

Thinking of something, she lightly tapped the air with her finger.

"The most troublesome thing right now is that we haven't found a convoy yet. There haven't been any convoys leaving these days." Bai Yao tapped his head in frustration.

"She said she could take us with her."

"Her?" Bai Yao glanced at the longsword in her hand.

"That bad woman?" She finally voiced her true feelings.

“Call him Pei…” Bai Qian thought for a moment.

She didn't quite remember, since everyone called her Miss Pei. As for her full name... Bai Qian didn't have much of an impression. Perhaps her full name was just Miss Pei?
