The sickly girl is killing her way through the weird world

These were all things she couldn't fight against on her own; she had to rely on external aids. She couldn't quite figure out how Xiaoqian would deal with those demons...

It's not that she couldn't think of it, but when Bai Yao recalled the way those monsters died, she subconsciously skipped over it. It was too brutal. It must be that her memory was flawed and there was something wrong with what she remembered.

Of course, compared to that, she still felt that Bai Qian was a bit too... reckless?

After all, no one knows if there are traps or anything like that over there, or if those monsters have already prepared how to deal with Xiaoqian.

What if Xiaoqian ends up being taken advantage of?

The sky was just beginning to lighten, and the moon was gradually disappearing from the sky.

The people in the courtyard came out.

They were staying at the village landlord's house, which was the only landlord in the village. However, the landlord was still much less powerful than the young lady of the Pei Lin Chamber of Commerce.

"Miss Bai, just woke up?" A middle-aged woman wearing an apron walked out of the house next door carrying a broom and looked at the yard.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yao, who was lost in thought, shook her head and rubbed her sleepy eyes.

"Hmm." She didn't bother to explain and waited in the courtyard all night.

But Xiaoqian still didn't come. Although Xiaoqian told him she would come back in the morning, how could he possibly fall asleep?

"Master also asked me to ask you all what you want to eat today... It seems that people from Black Valley Manor next door came over last night, saying that all the pig demons are dead. I wonder what's going on." The middle-aged woman asked while sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard.

"Those pig demons are quite intimidating. Everyone around is afraid of them, fearing that they might snatch us up and eat us at any moment. Last night, someone found that all the pig demons were dead, and their deaths were quite gruesome."

Bai Yao, who was in a daze, was taken aback when she heard this. She suddenly remembered something and opened her mouth to ask for the specific details.

The courtyard gate was gently pushed open, and the dim yellow sunlight of the sunrise shone in the air, illuminating the dust and rising dust. The girl in red quietly entered the courtyard.

The burnt-brown light shone on her delicate, beautiful face, which was expressionless and somewhat dazed, her hair drifting in the translucent dust.

Bai Yao snapped out of her daze and hurriedly ran to Bai Qian.

He carefully examined Bai Qian, who had just pushed open the door and entered.

Bai Qian looked at Bai Yao who had run up to her and blinked twice in confusion.

Bai Yao reached out her fingers and pinched the dark red bloodstains on Bai Qian's cheek, which had now turned into mere traces.

"Are you alright?" He gently pinched the girl's cheeks twice; they felt as soft as before.

“It belongs to someone else.” Bai Qian took two steps back, but she certainly couldn’t break free from Bai Yao’s fingers.

Her cheeks were kneaded into a ball.

Bai Yaozai carefully checked twice to make sure that the blood on Bai Qian's body was someone else's and that she was probably not injured before he felt a little relieved.

"What about those fox demons? Just teach them a lesson so they won't dare to mess with us. Don't worry about them too much." Bai Yao helped Bai Qian tidy up her slightly messy long hair. Hair stained with blood was not easy to manage.

Although Bai Qian went to cause trouble for those fox demons, it seems she returned empty-handed. Bai Yao may be inexperienced, but she knows that it is the fox demons' stronghold and it is not something that can be dealt with so easily. It is good that she returned safely.

"Kill them all," Bai Qian said succinctly.

“It’s okay to kill them all…kill them all?” Bai Yao blinked and repeated.

Bai Yao, who was tidying Bai Qian's long hair, paused for a moment, wondering if there was something wrong with her hearing.

Speaking of which, is the fox that Bai Qian mentioned the same thing?

"What are we going to eat later?" Bai Qian ignored her and sat down next to the water bucket in the courtyard, gently touching the clear water with her finger.

The blood smeared the water's surface, reflecting the girl's expressionless face.

Bai Yao didn't reply. She sat in front of Bai Qian and carefully examined her.

Then he asked very seriously, "Xiao Qian, tell me the truth, are you some kind of reincarnation of a god or something?"

Bai Qian tilted her head.

"What is that?" The clear, bright eyes remained unchanged.

"Bai Feng Niangniang? Lifespan?" She thought for a moment and added, based on her current understanding, this is the connection: the deity is Bai Feng Niangniang, and Bai Feng Niangniang is the mysterious.

Therefore, gods are equivalent to unpredictable lifespans.

Bai Yao was certain that her man probably really didn't understand what she meant, so she gently rubbed her temples.

"Speaking of which, how long has Xiaoqian been practicing martial arts?"

"...Five days?" Bai Qian wasn't quite sure. She looked up at the glow of the sunrise.

"Six days." That's confirmed.

Bai Yao remained silent for a while, watching Bai Qian touch the clear water in the bucket with her finger, watching the crystal-clear water droplets slide off the girl's fingertips.

"Xiao Qian, what do you think of our Great Liang Emperor?" she suddenly asked quietly.

Volume 1: 77. Conditions for Advancing to Divine Will

The owner of the courtyard prepared a very lavish breakfast for the group, even making several eggs, which in some ways are probably more expensive than meat, showing how much thought the owner put into it.

"So, is our business over here?" Pei Huan glanced at Bai Qian and asked cautiously.

Bai Qian had already taken a bath and changed her clothes, still wearing a white robe. Bai Qian didn't really care what she wore, but Bai Yao quite liked seeing her in white.

Although she didn't do anything herself, it seems that everything has been resolved.

Master Qian has resolved everything.

They said it wasn't a proper solution, but since everything was gone anyway, the corpses scattered all over the ground could be considered a solution, or even a more thorough one. They were afraid the demon would retaliate, afraid the demon would come back.

The dead demon wouldn't have such concerns. They're all dead, how could they possibly take revenge?

Bai Yao scooped up a spoonful of rice porridge, put it in her mouth and sipped it. The slightly rough texture of the rice porridge didn't taste very good.

"Probably," Bai Qian said, unsure.

Of course, logically speaking, everything here should be resolved by now. The original purpose of coming here was to find Tong Hui and ask him about the method to advance to the Meridian Opening stage. If that was the reason, then the matter can actually be considered resolved.

The pig demon and fox demon that followed, as well as the Yin Gate, are all superfluous.

Of course, it's not entirely superfluous.

She is still pondering how to use all that extra lifespan of the demons.

"Then I'll arrange a carriage, and we can head straight back," Pei Huan said.

Bai Qian glanced at Bai Yao, who was lost in thought.

After asking that question, she just stood there in a daze, and no one knew why.

What did the emperor think?

You can watch it sitting down, but I've heard that in the imperial court, ministers have to kneel before the emperor, so you watch it while kneeling?

Bai Qian did not refuse. She had nothing else to do here, and in fact, it would be easier to go back now.

She's currently mainly thinking about how to allocate skill points, following a set path, which should be feasible, but it seems that the improvement is a little off.

Everything's stuck. On this side, there's a lack of prerequisites. The demon's lifespan has been depleted, but there's basically no reaction or splash. As for the energy from the other direction...

The sheer number of people who have gone completely mad makes it hard to have any confidence in this direction.

As before, it's probably the same as before; you need to find out the direction for future promotions before you need to consider promotion.

A man dressed in coarse cloth hurried in. He looked around the room and took out a yellowed booklet from behind his back.

“Gentlemen, an elderly man with one arm just came by… He’s Grandpa Tong from our village. He asked me to bring this to you, saying he won’t be coming to see you himself,” the man said as he approached.

After leaving the yellowed booklet, he left the room.

Pei Huan was closest to the booklet. She picked it up, glanced at the cover, couldn't tell what it was, and then handed it to Bai Qian.

Bai Qian took the booklet and glanced at it.

"What is this?" Pei Huan curiously craned her neck. She knew it was Tong Hui's gift to Bai Qian, so she handed it to Bai Qian immediately without looking at it.

Bai Qian held the yellowed pages of the book in her fingers without saying a word.

Bai Yao, standing beside her, glanced at the girl's indifferent face and sighed softly.

They were quite composed, seemingly looking at it seriously. But can they understand it?

I took the book from her and opened it.

What catches the eye are a few lines of hastily written words.

"The above is a message written by that person, saying it was a thank-you gift for what happened before. It contains his insights into practicing the Mountain Tiger Fist, and besides that, there is... information he collected when he was young, about how to proceed after opening the meridians, and information related to divine will."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qian, who had been behaving normally, showed a slight ripple in her eyes, indicating that she had indeed become interested.

She glanced at the words on the page and then withdrew her interest.

Zhao Lin was drinking rice porridge when he listened to what Bai Yao was saying, and he also turned his interested gaze to the pages of the book.

"Follow-up information related to divine will," he muttered a couple of times, but then looked away.

Even if it were information related to divine will, it would have nothing to do with him. He might not even reach the stage of opening the meridians in his lifetime, let alone divine will.

He thought about the girl's behavior last night.

To be honest, if he could achieve even half of what others have done in his life, he would have no regrets even if he died.

“Divine will…” Bai Yao murmured the term, then looked at it carefully.

Then she glanced at Bai Qian, who was clearly interested.

She had never mentioned anything about martial arts to Bai Qian before, partly because Bai Qian had only been learning martial arts for a few days and it would be bad to know too much at this point. Besides, she only had a superficial understanding of martial arts and would find it difficult to teach Bai Qian.

But now... that worry is probably unnecessary.

Based on the martial prowess Bai Qian displayed earlier, within her own family, apart from her few clansmen who worshipped E Nu, there were probably few who could compare to her.

"Are you interested in this?" she asked Bai Qian in a low voice.

Bai Qian nodded.

"I won't go into those insights and experiences for now, as I don't quite understand them. What I do know is divine will," she said.

Upon hearing this, Bai Qian's eyes lit up. Not only her, but Pei Huan and Zhao Lin beside her also became interested.

"Divine Intent is a level after Meridian Opening, but there are relatively few martial artists at this level. There are probably only about twenty in Liangdu. I haven't specifically studied the exact number."

"More than twenty?" Pei Huan, who was standing next to her, was slightly puzzled. This was different from what she knew. In her memory, there weren't many in the entire Daliang.

"Yes, that's right, but they're mostly not well-known." As someone from Liangdu, Bai Yao has a lot of say in this matter.

"Because the primary condition for divine will is to choose a god, become His messenger, obtain His power, and then use this power to advance to become divine will," Bai Yao explained.

This was something she knew, or rather, a consensus among many people in Liangdu: martial artists, in the end, end up cultivating themselves into deities.

“However, in recent years, most of the gods have encountered problems, so many martial artists with divine will have also encountered problems,” Bai Yao said with a sigh.

Our own family is the same.

"I heard that Da Su has developed a way to become a Divine Warrior without going through a god, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"Anyway, if you really want to become a god, you probably need to find a god first, and at least a god who has reached a certain level." This is what Bai Yao knows about the matter of godhood.

Bai Qian blinked upon hearing this.

Looking at her own panel, she gently raised her eyebrows.

God?

I don't seem to lack anything?

----

There will be two more updates, it will be a little late, so don't wait up, you can read it tomorrow morning.

Volume 1: Chapter 78, The Cat Demon

The carriage swayed along the road, with Bai Qian and the other two sitting inside, while Zhao Lin drove.

They didn't stay in that village for very long; they left after breakfast.

In fact, all the villagers knew was that the pig demons of the neighboring Black Valley Village had been killed, but apart from Liu Si and Tong Hui, no one knew who had done it.

The old man wasn't one to cause trouble; he didn't even show himself. Bai Qian could tell that he probably didn't want to be disturbed. He even had the book delivered to him through someone else.

As for Liu Si, he would never casually reveal Bai Qian's information. He had personally witnessed the entire process of Bai Qian killing off the group of pig demons. If you were to ask who in this manor was most afraid of Bai Qian...
