The sickly girl is killing her way through the weird world

White, slender fingers pressed against its face, and its entire body was pushed into the ground.

Volume 1: Chapter 128, Taking Care of It

It was the strange thing about the Lotus Life Sect that Bai Qian knew about when she was outside the courtyard.

After all, they are completely undisguised and so clearly exposed to the air; it would be strange not to notice them.

The creature in red, its body twisted and contorted, disappeared into the ground, while Bai Qian pinched its face.

I could have slapped him to death, but I didn't.

When faced with strange words, the ability to read minds is not as useful, or rather, it is because something is blocking the ability to read minds.

The power of lotus mother?

Bai Qian is not easy to talk about.

It struggled desperately, but to no avail against those five slender, white fingers that resembled mountains.

A vivid red aura boiled within it, but to no avail, like water trapped in a glass bottle, unable to break free no matter how much it was shaken.

Those eyes, reflecting the lotus blossoms, were fixed intently on the white-clad girl before him.

But Bai Qian remained unmoved by its strange gaze, instead observing it with considerable curiosity.

Bai Qian killed the previous monk too quickly, so she didn't get to ask many of her questions. Now that another strange creature from the Lotus Sect has appeared, Bai Qian definitely has to ask it all.

"Name." If you're not in a hurry, you can ask slowly.

Bai Yao, standing at the door, watched this scene with a strange expression. Instead of disturbing Bai Qian, she went around to the house to tidy up the bed for the night.

The woman in red didn't react at all to Bai Qian's question; she just stared intently at Bai Qian.

It was as if they wanted to devour Bai Qian's flesh and blood directly.

Bai Qian didn't care at all, pressed her palm against its face, and waited for a while.

Seeing that it made no move, the moon-white mist transformed into a blade and gently sliced ​​down.

It was as if the flesh and blood of tofu were easily cut open, revealing the dense, bright red muscle lines inside, the strange lines resembling the eerie beauty of a lotus flower.

"If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it." Bai Qian loosened her fingers.

The red-clad monster, which had been thrown to the ground, regained its mobility and watched as the white-clad girl turned around, leaving her pure white back to it.

It paused for a moment, and then without hesitation, it pounced on Shi Siba.

A pale white fire, as clear and elegant as moonlight, quietly rose, and the eerie red-clad figure crashed headfirst into this layer of clear mist.

His body was shrouded in white mist and disappeared without a trace.

----

The man in red noticed that the creature he was controlling had stopped responding, and his expression hardened.

Although I had anticipated this situation from the beginning, I was still thinking of seeing if I could gather some intelligence.

He had only recently learned of Bai Qian's existence, after she had killed one of his sect's stewards.

He was killed in front of so many people. Although he didn't have a good feeling about that monk, he was still a member of the Lotus Life Sect and had contributed a lot to the sect's spread.

Furthermore, this is a crucial time for the sect, and these matters cannot afford to go wrong, let alone something that could challenge the sect's authority.

This matter must be dealt with cleanly and efficiently. He is only here to gather information. As for who will deal with them later, it would be better if the sect sent someone else.

He tried to sense the strange creature again, but found that there was no reaction. So he stopped trying and turned to leave.

Upon seeing the white-clad girl standing behind him, her sleeves drooping, raindrops falling in fine threads, wetting the hem of her white dress, she stood in the rain, her hazy yet exquisite face seeming to exist only in a dream.

However, those eyes were so deep that they involuntarily drew people's attention.

The man's eyes narrowed, not understanding when Bai Qian had appeared behind him, but he still reacted.

Subconsciously, I raised my hand, and a wisp of red rose from my fingertips.

Then I felt a piercing pain, and my outstretched hand fell into the puddle at my feet, the blood staining the murky mud.

The man endured the pain and raised his other hand, but before he could even lift his palm, it was cleanly sliced ​​off and fell into the muddy water, rolling twice.

Suddenly, the man's two hands were inexplicably lost.

He gritted his teeth, opened his mouth, and tried to chant a spell.

The tongue fell into the muddy water.

Raindrops continued to fall from the sky, splashing onto the pool of blood on the ground.

The man opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Who is this person?

As Bai Qian slowly walked up to him, he still wanted to resist, but looking at the three things on the ground, he gave up the idea.

"Name," Bai Qian said calmly, continuing her previous strange conversation with the woman in red.

The man said nothing.

“Name,” Bai Qian continued.

"Purpose."

But seeing the man's open mouth, yet no sound coming out, reminded her of something.

It's true that you can't speak if your tongue is cut off.

If you can't speak, you should at least be able to write.

Bai Qian glanced at the palm on the ground, then looked at the man, who was staring at her with a slightly ferocious expression.

Just like the strange red-clad creature from before, it seemed completely unafraid of Bai Qian at this moment.

Mind reading is useless, and he doesn't seem like he'd like to talk.

Actually, there's no need to ask anymore. It's already obvious that they're from the Lotus Life Cult. It's probably revenge for killing that monk. I'll just ask Pei Huan tomorrow.

However, judging from Bai Qian's current situation, the Lotus Life Sect should be much more powerful than Bai Feng Niangniang. Putting aside everything else, just from the perspective of incense offerings, Bai Feng Niangniang's influence is limited to Bai Feng City, while the Lotus Life Sect is spread throughout an entire prefecture.

"Never mind." Bai Qian tiptoed and patted his shoulder, then ignored him and turned to leave through the rain.

The man watched Bai Qian's departing figure, still somewhat bewildered, unsure of her intentions.

His body shattered like tofu, as if a terrifying force had burst forth from his body in an instant, and his fragile body was completely unable to withstand this force.

Vibrant lotus patterns appeared on its body, but the next second the skin on which the lotus patterns depended was shattered by a strange force, and its body tore apart like a rag, with blood, flesh, cloth, and meat paste covering the entire alley.

The raindrops continued to fall, washing away the bloodstains in the alley.

Back in the courtyard, Bai Yao was tidying up the room. When she saw Bai Qian return, she simply smiled gently at her.

"Is everything okay?"

"No."

"Then help me make the bed, I'll be sleeping in it tonight. I looked around the room, and we'll probably have to squeeze into one bed tonight." He didn't ask what the strange red-clothed figure from earlier was.

"I'll tidy up the house first, then have a meal and go to sleep."

"Mm." Bai Qian nodded slightly, offering no objection.

I walked into the house and stared blankly at the somewhat empty space, not knowing what to do.

She was completely clueless about housework, to say the least.

Bai Yao glanced at Bai Qian but said nothing, patiently tidying up the room. Bai Qian sat by the oil lamp watching, the dim light illuminating their beautiful faces and silhouettes.

Raindrops fell in a continuous line from the sky, hitting the well and creating ripples in the clear water.

It pelted the paper window reflecting the dim yellow light, washing away the dust in the yard.

Fourth update!

Then I'm asking for monthly votes to help stabilize my ranking on the new book chart. I've considered offering a reward, but I haven't dared to because I'm worried that I won't be able to repay it and that I'll let everyone down. However, I will try my best to update as much as I can. Thank you all!

Volume 1: Chapter 129, The Search for the Demon

The night in Changcheng Prefecture was far from peaceful, or rather, there was never any peace in this city shrouded in mist and rain.

The city was still lit up with twinkling lights at night, and people were walking slowly along the streets.

There is a curfew in Changcheng Prefecture at night. The purpose of the curfew is actually to protect ordinary people, since if you wander around at night, you might encounter ghosts.

Like it is now.

A man wearing a dark blue cloak walked down the road, carrying an umbrella and a lantern.

My boots slid across the wet, slippery flagstones as I pondered what the head of the household had said during the day.

The leader's intentions are quite clear: although the Lotus Life Sect is being aggressive, there are government officials protecting them, so there's no need to worry about the Lotus Life Sect for the time being.

Compared to the Lotus Sect, the Chenghe God in the city is the one we need to be more careful about.

Although it didn't know what the River God needed to be careful about, decades ago it might have been hard to say, but now it was this time.

The river god hasn't shown his face for who knows how long due to the lack of incense offerings. All the temples in the city have been smashed to pieces, so what's the point of caring?

After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't figure out what my boss was thinking, so I stopped thinking about it.

A lot of people came into the city today. It's been a long time since I've tasted human warmth, so now I can give it a try.

The group of refugees outside the city can't be touched for the time being. The boss specifically instructed us to just keep an eye on the people entering the city. Those who can enter the city on the first day are either rich or noble, so we can take advantage of that to make some extra money.

That's what the man in the blue cloak was thinking.

Carrying a lantern, I walked down the dimly lit street and bumped into a girl in white walking towards me.

I subconsciously perked up, just about to observe the other person to see who they were and if they were an easy target, I would take advantage of them.

The next second, a bright sword light pierced through the rain curtain, instantly tearing through the curtain of raindrops. By the time the man realized what had happened, his heart had already been ripped open.

One after another, bluish-black scales appeared on its body, and its pupils turned into dark gold vertical pupils. It must be trying to fight back at the last moment.

But in reality, the moment it saw the girl in white, it was already dead.

Red blood tinged with a light green dripped down the peach blossom branches and onto the ground, rolling into the cracks of the bluestone slabs along with the rainwater.

Worthless items.

Bai Qian glanced at the man, or rather, the snake demon's corpse had already been sorted.

Without an umbrella, light, fine raindrops fell on her long, jet-black hair, wetting the strands and sticking to her robes.

Bai Qian didn't care much about these things. She looked around and confirmed the location of the demons she had sensed during the day.

When people arrive in a new city, they usually familiarize themselves with the environment and determine their next destination.

Bai Qian was the same, except that what she needed to confirm was somewhat different.

She wasn't too worried about things like the Lotus Sect and the Green Wave Gang. Although she had only been there for a day, Bai Qian could vaguely guess what these two forces were.

We can check the situation again first, clean up some small things, and let the [furnace core] rise before making any further decisions.

The rain washed the ground, and Bai Qian disappeared into the rain as she stepped on the muddy ground.

"Master, look, this is also top-quality liver and heart, taken from those refugees outside the city, just taken today." The wealthy man in the brocade robe was rubbing his slightly greasy hands as he watched a trembling maid carry a basin of bloody, mangled human liver to the naked man opposite him.

The man had a fierce appearance, with a thick beard and slanted eyes that gave him a menacing look. He didn't stand on ceremony when the bowl was brought to him, and then picked up a piece of liver and put it in his mouth.

"You're really something, managing to get so many livers and hearts without being noticed by those reptiles from the Green Wave Gang, right?" he asked vaguely while gnawing on the livers and hearts.

“I bribed the manager of the Qinglang Gang, and he turned a blind eye to this matter.”

"Not bad." The man nodded.

"I don't know why the Qinglang Gang has gathered so many refugees. Just feeding them every day must cost a lot of food," the well-to-do man muttered.

The man didn't speak, focusing intently on eating the heart and liver in the bowl in front of him.

The well-to-do man looked at the man, sighed slightly, and turned around, about to instruct the maid to prepare some more meat.
