The sickly girl is killing her way through the weird world

“Your health isn’t good to begin with, and you got caught in the rain last night, so you’re very susceptible to catching a cold,” she said.

"What medicine?" Bai Qian asked warily.

I don't like taking medicine.

Bai Qian disliked this kind of thing from her previous life. After all, being confined in a hospital room and receiving IV drips and medicine every day would make anyone feel resistant.

"I'll serve it to you later." Bai Yao didn't answer.

"I won't drink it." Bai Qian found the medicine Bai Yao had mentioned in her memory.

It was a strange, dark lump, somewhat like sesame paste, but it tasted much worse than sesame paste. It wasn't bitter; instead, it was both sour and spicy.

"If you don't drink, then you won't eat anything later."

"I won't eat it." Bai Qian said firmly.

Bai Yao's eyes narrowed slightly.

This isn't the first time this girl has acted this way. Come to think of it, I've only had her for about half a year, so I don't know her personality very well.

"If you want me to tell you what this book is, then drink your medicine in a bit."

Bai Qian hesitated for a moment upon hearing this.

She took out three more thin books from behind her. None of the three books were thin; when stacked together, they were just thicker than Bai Qian's palm.

“I’ll drink, but I still have these three books.”

Bai Yao glanced at the poor-quality paper on the three books; this kind of paper probably wouldn't last more than three years.

"Where did you get this thing?"

"I bought them at a bookstall when I passed by just now, three books for ten coins."

"Do you really believe that ten coins can buy three martial arts manuals?" Leaving aside the question of why this girl suddenly wanted to practice martial arts, she felt she needed to strengthen the girl's awareness of scams.

"I bought it." Bai Qian replied confidently.

Bai Yao remained silent.

"Take your medicine first, and after you finish eating, I'll tell you about these four books." Without nitpicking, Bai Yao finished speaking and walked outside towards the stove.

Bai Qian took a small bite of the cornbread.

It's still too hard; I chewed for ages but couldn't get it through.

The gate to the courtyard was knocked on twice more.

Bai Qian glanced towards the kitchen; Bai Yao seemed not to have heard.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Qian took the initiative to go and open the door.

The door opened, revealing a shirtless man with a smug look on his face.

However, this sense of smugness vanished without a trace after seeing Bai Qian open the door.

He took a few steps back, as if Bai Qian, who was struggling to bite into a cornbread, was some kind of monster.

In fact, he retreated in a panic, fell backward, and landed hard on his bottom in the mud.

The finger was still pointing at Bai Qian.

"You...you...you..." He stammered, unable to speak.

Bai Qian stood there, biting into a cornbread, watching him until he caught his breath.

"Is it a human or a ghost?" This was the question he asked after he had calmed his breathing.

Without waiting for Bai Qian's reply, he quickly stood up and ran away as fast as he could.

Bai Qian watched his departing figure, as if she had thought of something.

"Who is it?" Bai Yao, perhaps having heard the commotion outside the door, poked her head out and asked.

"It's nothing, he's just an idiot," Bai Qian replied.

Suddenly she thought of something.

What was I thinking about doing in the temple?

Kill them all?

So, if you kill someone, can you gain more lifespan?

It must be this matter, right? After taking a nap, Bai Qian couldn't quite remember.

"Come and take your medicine."

"Okay." Let's cook after we finish eating.

Volume 1: 7. Willow Points in Snow

Bai Qian dipped a spoon into the dark, gooey substance in front of her.

The smell wasn't too bad, but... not smelling bad doesn't mean it doesn't taste bad.

At least Bai Qian didn't really want to put this in her mouth.

The black-haired girl next to him sat quietly in the chair, looking at the book in her hands.

"How is it?" Bai Qian asked.

Bai Yao didn't answer the question, but glanced at the medicine in Bai Qian's hand.

The meaning is obvious.

Bai Qian sighed helplessly and scooped up a mouthful of the dark paste with a spoon, putting it into her mouth.

It didn't have the nauseating taste I expected; instead, it had a slightly sweet flavor.

"I bought some honey from Aunt Huang. After adding it, it won't be as bitter as you think. It will just slightly affect the medicinal properties, but it's better than you not taking it at all." As if knowing what Bai Qian was thinking, Bai Yao replied calmly.

"Oh." The taste was faintly sweet, but the texture was sticky and cloying.

However, for Bai Qian, being cloying wasn't too unpleasant; at least it was better than suffering.

"What is the content of this book?" Bai Qian glanced at the book she had picked up from the temple in Bai Yao's hand.

Where did you get this thing?

"Inside the temple."

“No wonder. This thing is called a book, but it’s actually a story, the story of Lady Bai Feng.” Bai Yao closed the book and shook her head.

"As for that temple, I remember hearing from others that it was abandoned a few years ago, so try not to go there in the future."

"What story?" Bai Qian appropriately expressed her curiosity.

"The story of praying for rain tells of a method of worshipping the White Phoenix Goddess. Do you want to know?" Bai Yao blinked, a wicked thought forming in her mind.

"The specific method of praying to the White Phoenix Goddess for rain is to cut off a person's limbs, turn them into a human pig, and seal them in a huge earthenware jar. This method of praying to the White Phoenix Goddess for rain is considered a form of live sacrifice."

Bai Qian bit her spoon, remaining unmoved by what Bai Yao was saying.

"Cut off all four limbs and you call it a human pig?" I was actually more interested in this, since the monster I had dealt with in the temple before was called a pig monster.

"Another name for pig, rarely used now. 'Human pig' means to cut off a person's limbs and make her like a pig, unable to do anything but eat."

"The temple you went to probably still has a clay pot containing a human pig hidden inside. They might be watching you from the shadows." He just wanted to scare Bai Qian.

Bai Qian's reaction disappointed her somewhat.

"Oh." He gave a curt "oh." No wonder it got kicked to pieces; it really didn't seem like anything powerful, just a pig.

"Anyway, try to go out as little as possible from now on, it's very chaotic outside," Bai Yao emphasized.

"What about the other three books?" Bai Qian continued to ask, referring to the three martial arts manuals she had bought for ten coins when she passed by a stall on her way back to Bai Feng City.

“It’s true,” Bai Yao replied with a strange expression.

"They're just low-class things, the kind of things no one in a small martial arts school would want to learn."

"I want to learn."

"Then you need to learn to read first. I tried to teach you to read before, but you didn't want to."

"I can learn this first."

"Both can be done at the same time." Knowing Bai Qian's stubborn nature, Bai Yao didn't insist on anything.

"Which one are you planning to learn first?" I don't think Bai Qian can master anything, but it's always a good thing that she's willing to exercise. In this world, it's definitely better to be healthy than to be sickly like this.

"I'll learn them all." Bai Qian was very greedy.

"Of these three, two are combat techniques, namely sword and hammer, and the other is footwork. If you want to learn, you should learn sword. Hammer is not suitable for you, but you can learn footwork," Bai Yao suggested.

She had also studied martial arts, so she could still offer Bai Qian some advice, but for Bai Qian, learning martial arts was indeed not very meaningful.

After all, no matter how skilled one is in martial arts, one cannot defeat demons; otherwise, the Liang Kingdom would not be in its current state.

I do have some scattered martial arts techniques in my mind, but I haven't mastered them myself, so I'd better not reveal them and mislead others.

"If you can master this Snow Willow Sword technique within six months, that would be considered good," Bai Yao continued.

Bai Qian blinked, but did not refute.

She'd rather learn how to use a hammer; hitting someone with a three-meter-long hammer would definitely be more powerful than using a sword.

"Then let's learn swordsmanship first."

"Let me see. This technique only has three moves: a right uppercut, a straight thrust, and a downward sweep. The most practical one should be the downward sweep, but it's a bit difficult. You can learn the straight thrust first. This book even has a name: Willow Snow Point."

"Take your medicine first. I'll tell you a story. Just listen to it as a story. Don't rush to learn it. Learning martial arts is a long process. Just persevere."

---

Bai Qian put down the spoon, looked at the empty medicine in the bowl, and breathed a sigh of relief.

It was fine at first, but after eating a lot, it felt very greasy, like it was stuck in my throat. Drinking a few sips of water didn't help.

[The remaining lifespan of the demon is 23 years, and the remaining lifespan of the strange entity is 20 years.]

Skills Mastered: Continuous Cloud Leg (Ding - Limit), Continuous Cloud Leg - Deceptive (E), Snow Willow Sword - Incomplete (E).

It was probably after Bai Yao finished explaining Liu Dianxue that Bai Qian learned this sword technique called Xue Liu Sword.

It's much easier than taking medicine here.

After some thought, I decided to invest ten years of a demon's lifespan into it.

[In the first year, the Snow Willow Sword, though simple, was perfectly suited to your situation. It didn't require physical strength, only agility and comprehension. In just one year, you've already mastered it to a minor level.]

[In the second year, although you only learned the "Willow Snow" move, your outstanding talent allowed you to master it. Because of your experience with the "Cloud Leg" technique, you also have a clear understanding of how to further improve "Willow Snow."]

[In the fifth year, although it was only one move, you managed to master it to a state of unparalleled perfection, as serene as willow leaves fluttering in the snow, and leaving no trace as your sword passed.]

[In the sixth year, you perfected Liu Dianxue, reaching the level of a grandmaster. However, due to the incompleteness of your swordsmanship, you know that it will still be difficult to progress further and generate internal energy like the Lianyun Leg technique.]

[In the ninth year, you successfully generated internal energy through Liu Dianxue, reaching the pinnacle of this martial art.]

Bai Qian raised her fair fingers, and her slender fingertips twitched slightly.

"Do you have a sword at home?" Bai Qian suddenly asked.

Bai Yao was taken aback when she heard Bai Qian's question.

"There's no need to rush." ​​Although that was her answer, she thought about it for a moment.

"No, the blacksmith shops in the city probably don't sell these kinds of things either, since they're contraband. At most, you can buy hammers or butcher knives at the blacksmith shops."

I always said practicing with a hammer would be better. A three-meter-long hammer, a blacksmith shop should have one, right?

“However, we can go to the carpenter next door and get a wooden sword. Anyway, we’re practicing swordsmanship, so any sword should be fine,” Bai Yao said, gesturing with her chin.

"I'll get it."

"There's no need to rush. The meatball soup should be ready soon. You can go over after you finish eating. Anyway, Cao the carpenter's house is quite close to us."

"We can eat it when we get back."

Bai Yao frowned slightly as she watched Bai Qian leave the courtyard.

Does this child seem a little strange?
