It's not just because of the fear of death.
What struck me most was their indifference towards humans.
They see humans as food and show them no pity or mercy.
It's just like the pork and mutton we usually eat.
At that moment, Zhang Wu saw the same feeling in the black-haired girl opposite him as he did in those demons.
The difference is... demons also eat people.
Zhang Wu felt a deep-seated indifference emanating from Bai Qian opposite him.
How does she see herself and others?
Fear surged through Zhang Wu's heart, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "If you kill me like this, the fox demons will definitely not let you go."
This is the only card he has left.
Revolt?
He obviously couldn't do that. Putting everything else aside, Bai Qian just killed her three subordinates with only three sword strikes.
Take a broken wooden sword.
If Zhang Wu had any doubts before, he had none after seeing the wooden sword being snapped in two.
"A fox demon?" Bai Qian tilted her head slightly.
I became interested in what Zhang Wu was talking about.
There was no other reason; it was simply because, in Bai Qian's mind at that moment, demons were equivalent to demons' lifespans.
She just tried it; killing someone doesn't grant lifespan.
Regret.
Looking at it this way, all that's left is to kill demons and monsters.
As for the bizarre lifespan... to be honest, Bai Qian wasn't too comfortable with it, since the description was rather strange and there were odd consequences to using it.
Therefore, at this moment, what is most valuable to Bai Qian is naturally the lifespan of the demon.
"Talk about it."
Zhang Wu lowered his head and knelt on the ground without making a sound.
Bai Qian understood what he meant.
"I promise you, if I tell you this, I won't draw my sword on you," he promised.
Zhang Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
He wasn't worried about Bai Qian's promise.
Just as humans wouldn't deceive ants, since this gentleman has made such a promise, he probably wouldn't break it like this.
“Those fox demons are monsters from Xihong Mountain outside the city,” Zhang Wu quickly said.
“They asked me to capture some young girls of marriageable age and send them to them. If you let me go, I promise I won’t bother you again, nor will I tell those foxes,” he continued.
Bai Qian nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.
"What's the use?"
Upon hearing Bai Qian's words, Zhang Wu was also taken aback. After racking his brains for a while, he replied, "It seems that the foxes want to transform into humans by eating some young women of marriageable age?"
"I heard it from some rumors."
"Didn't you send me over before?" Bai Qian asked again, a question that made Zhang Wu break out in a cold sweat.
He cautiously looked up at Bai Qian.
Is it okay to say that your height is not up to standard?
If those foxes want to transform into humans, they definitely need to find a suitable one.
"When will they come?" Bai Qian continued to ask.
"It's the end of this month, but if we get the people ready and send them over in advance, they probably won't come."
Bai Qian nodded.
"Should we capture Bai Yao next?"
"Of course not, of course not." Zhang Wu couldn't possibly reveal the plan.
"Hmm." Bai Qian didn't intend to ask anything else and casually threw the broken wooden sword on the ground.
It's broken like this, it's definitely unusable. I'll just go back and ask the carpenter for another one.
Zhang Wu glanced cautiously at the wooden sword lying on the ground, a hint of joy rising in his heart.
"My lord, if you need anything from now on, you can come and give me your orders at any time," he continued, expressing his loyalty.
Of course, as soon as Bai Qian steps out the door, he will run away.
Tell that group of fox demons about this.
"I understand," Bai Qian replied indifferently.
He subtly traced two lines on the ground with his toes.
"I promise you, I won't cut you with my sword."
Zhang Wu was stunned, not understanding Bai Qian's meaning.
However, he found out the next second.
Watching the girl lift up her small shoes.
His pupils contracted, and he suddenly realized something, so he quickly tried to sit up.
late.
The toes stopped in front of Zhang Wu's head.
Zhang Wu's pupils went unfocused, staring at the toes in front of him as if he were about to stop breathing.
He seemed to be imagining what it would be like to get kicked in the head by a shoe.
A watermelon burst open?
Bai Qian retracted her foot.
Fortunately, it was done in time.
If blood splatters out like that, the white clothes I just changed into will probably be unwearable.
Bai Qian quite liked this outfit; it was also quite comfortable to wear.
"Grandma, we can talk this over properly." Although he was terrified, Zhang Wu was relieved.
Bai Qian ignored him.
She looked at Zhang Wu, who was lying on the ground in front of her, panting heavily, and found a new angle.
It's been kicked over.
This time, they found a good angle, and neither their clothes nor shoes were stained with too much blood.
The earthen wall of the courtyard collapsed, and Zhang Wu became silent.
The moment Bai Qian kicked it, it probably shattered into pieces? Or maybe it was a pancake? In any case, it wouldn't have been whole.
It doesn't feel like kicking it; it's easier to kick than a stone.
Bai Qian glanced at the corpse on the ground a few times before slowly leaving the courtyard.
The courtyard fell into a deathly silence.
----
"Take another sword? Take whatever you want, you can take them all." The carpenter, who was patiently polishing the wooden tenon in front of him, waved his hand casually after hearing Bai Qian's words.
I inadvertently caught a glimpse of the bloodstains on Bai Qian's shoes and robe.
"Did you just go watch someone slaughter a pig? Who slaughtered a pig today? I'm wondering if I can go over and mooch a meal," he suddenly asked.
Bai Qian, who was about to leave with three wooden swords in her arms, paused upon hearing this.
"I didn't pay much attention," she said after a moment's thought.
"Never mind then, I'll go take a look myself later. By the way, you can come over here again later. Didn't Xiao Yao say that she was missing a comb and a low table? I should be able to make them in the next couple of days. You can come and carry them yourselves."
"Understood." Holding the three swords, Bai Qian walked out of the carpenter's door.
Back in her own yard, Bai Yao was washing clothes; she hadn't finished washing the clothes from before.
After she saw Bai Qian return, she glanced at Bai Qian.
"Is Carpenter Cao's house very close to us? Did you encounter any bad people along the way?" It's been a bit long; if it gets any later, she'll go out to find Bai Qian.
"No, I was watching someone slaughter a pig."
"Slaughter a pig?" Bai Yao blinked slightly in confusion.
"That family?" Only then did she notice the bloodstains on Bai Qian's robe.
"I didn't pay much attention."
"Never mind then, let's eat first. After we finish eating, I'll teach you to read."
"Once you can read, you can look at these martial arts techniques yourself. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me."
"Can I learn it today?"
"How could that be? Probably one or two months. There's no rush. If you want it to go faster, you could consider writing something every day... something like a diary. That might speed things up."
"Oh."
Volume 1: 10. Leaving Baifeng City?
"Here you are." The carpenter rubbed his eyes and opened the door.
She paused for a moment when she saw the man outside the door.
It's not that I don't know him; which official doesn't know him?
He was a government official, but I rarely saw him in person.
He did know the name of the person opposite him; it seemed to be Huang Qi, a member of the Huang family, a local family in Baifeng City.
In terms of reputation, it's not very good.
After all, the world is so corrupt now, it's impossible that the government is completely innocent if the blame is placed on those messy monsters.
The officials are only concerned with enriching themselves and completely disregard the lives of ordinary people at the bottom of society...
"What is this, Master Huang?" Although he didn't particularly like Huang Qi, the carpenter was still very respectful on the surface.
After all, the Huang family wielded considerable power in Baifeng City, comparable to the Lai family, and neither of them were people he could afford to offend.
Huang Qi didn't say anything, but walked into the house and glanced at the wooden furniture placed inside.
Only then did the carpenter notice that he was holding a wooden sword stained with dark red blood. The sword was broken, as if it had been snapped in two by some strange force.
"Did you make this sword?" Huang Qi asked, taking out the sword, his tone somewhat arrogant and impatient.
"...What is this?" The carpenter hesitated for a moment, looking at the bloodstains on the wooden sword.
“Zhang Wu and his group died yesterday. After the coroner examined their bodies, he found that three of them had been killed with this thing,” Huang Qi said, shaking his head.
His expression was also somewhat serious.
For such a murder to occur in a small place like Baifengcheng...
In previous years, this might have been a serious issue, but in recent years, it has become less of a concern.
The number of people eaten by demons each month is more than this, not to mention those who starve to death.
The problem is that Zhang Wu and his group work for the foxes of Xihong Mountain to the east.
Among the demons near Baifeng City, the foxes and the snake demons to the north are the most troublesome. The rat demons are also quite disgusting, but compared to these two types of demons, they are still slightly inferior.
The dead are fine, but I have to give those fox demons some explanation.
