As an official, what's wrong with raising a few monsters?

Chapter 36: Shameful Butterfly
"Little friend, I'm giving you a chance now. Take this and kill him!"

"One of you two can survive!"

……

"Ok?"

The intoxicating smell of blood on the battlefield dissipated in an instant.

No one knows when, but the place where the two armies were fighting, whether real or fake, disappeared.

A biting cold wind blew, and broken sunlight hit my face.

Ling Yu shook his body and came back to his senses.

Staring blankly ahead,

The handsome young man handed the tattered military flag to the strange and silent child with a smile.

The child, who was just as tall as the waist, held the military flag in one hand, which was half a body taller than an adult. It looked like a strange contrast.

What did Mingchen do while she was stunned?
What just happened?
Mingchen has many secrets.

Ling Yu knew it.

Mingchen is very mysterious. Since they met, strange things often happened. Mingchen would say strange things and also have some strange things.

For example, those incomprehensible words Mingchen said in front of the Yang family’s gate, and the strange and gloomy wind that suddenly blew.

For example, Mingchen's small wine gourd that he drank from for so long but was still not empty, the psychic bird, and the jade stick that could be extended or shortened at will.

For example, just now, that was a truly fatal hallucination.

However, Mingchen didn't tell Lingyu, and Lingyu didn't ask any more questions.

It was enough for her to know that the other party had no ill intentions. Everyone has secrets, just like she had never said that she was a girl.

She knew that one day their secret would no longer be a secret.

……

Mingchen handed the military flag to the child and pointed at Zhou Bin who was looking terrified.

Zhou Bin was also pulled into Guo Chongyun's war illusion, but he was not Mingchen or Lingyu. He was completely frightened by the murderous military momentum and felt that he was crushed by the war.

Even after the illusion disappeared, he still stood there trembling.

"W-what? Me? Me?"

When he heard Mingchen's words, his eyes widened and he pointed at himself blankly, hoping that he had heard it wrong.

Who was that ugly, stupid kid... He seemed to have some impression of him.

He and his brothers probably captured it from a nearby village.

That kid is holding a broken flag, can you kill him?
Do not……

What matters is not whether the little devil can kill him, but Mingchen’s attitude.

"Yes, it's you! Is there anyone else here?"

Zhou Bin laughed dryly and asked Mingchen as if to remind him, "Sir, you... didn't you say you wouldn't kill me?"

Mingchen tilted his head and looked at him with some confusion: "Did I say that?"

"You said before that you wouldn't kill me!"

"Yes, that's right! I said I wouldn't kill you yesterday, but I didn't say I wouldn't kill you today."

"I said I won't kill you, but I didn't say others won't kill you, did I?"

"Any questions?"

Zhou Bin: "You!"

He finally realized that this moody man had never intended to leave him alive from the beginning.

No matter how you flatter him or praise him, he doesn't want to live.

In that case, why not give it a try!
His face turned grim and he clenched his fists as he rushed towards the stupid kid.

He couldn't beat that killer no matter what, but could he not deal with this stupid kid?
But the next moment,
His whole body trembled violently, his eyes widened, and he lowered his head in disbelief.

At some point, the broken flagpole pierced through the flesh, shattering the internal organs. Blood flowed along the flagpole to the other side and fell into the palm of the demented child.

too fast.

too fast.

He didn't see it, he didn't feel it.

In front of him was an ugly little face with no expression and dull eyes.

The little devil appeared in front of him, and the blunt, tattered military flag pierced through his body directly.

This...how is this possible?

These two people are monsters, and this little devil is also a monster.

Why? Everyone he met was a monster. "If you become a monster yourself, you can't blame everyone you see for being a monster."

Mingchen didn't mind that the child was ugly or dirty. He touched her withered hair and watched with a smile as the unfortunate girl lost her life bit by bit.

The little kid raised his head woodenly, staring blankly at the man in front of him with a smirk.

He is not a good person. He instigates children to kill people and he associates with evil spirits.

But he was much more lively and bright than most people she had met.

She didn't know what had happened just now. There was a nagging old man hidden in the tattered flag. It looked very heavy, but it was very light in her hand. She seemed to have gained strength, accumulated all her anger, and killed the enemy who destroyed her life.

"What's your name?"

Mingchen looked at the child and asked with a smile.

He looks just like the weird uncle who flirts with kids at the kindergarten gate.

However, he is much younger and more handsome than that weird uncle.

"..."

"How did you get here?"

"..."

"Where do you want to go next?"

"..."

Mingchen asked the child several questions in succession, but the other party just looked at him without saying a word.

This time, there was no vow fulfillment reminder on the other party that only he could see, but since he could see the old ghost Guo Chongyun, there must be something special about it.

Mingchen felt that this kid had some value, at least much better than the uncontrollable naughty kid before.

"Okay, dear disciple, you don't need to ask anymore. This child is mute."

It seemed that the old general no longer had any of his former pride and arrogance, and he came up happily and called his good disciple.

This kid had been his first choice, but unfortunately he was too dumb.

"Is that so?"

Mingchen touched the child's head and waited for her for a while.

But the child still didn't say anything. Mingchen shook his head: "Then I have to go~"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

Of course, he seemed to have forgotten to ask for the tattered military flag in the child's hand, which contained the soul of his cheap teacher.

Then, before Mingchen could take a step, someone gently grabbed the hem of his clothes.

The force was very small, and Mingchen could pull it open with just a little effort.

"Ugly bug."

A mumbling voice came.

Mingchen turned around and looked at the child.

The child's face was ulcerated, yellow, and covered with pimples, and he looked ugly.

Perhaps it was because of this face that the bandits felt disgusted even to look at her for even a moment, so they threw her into the forest and left her to fend for herself.

Gray eyes looked at Mingchen and said, "They call me ugly bug."

Guo Chongyun: ...

I feel humiliated by this brat.

Mingchen looked at the child who had spoken and asked, "What do they call you? What about your own name? What about the name your parents gave you?"

The child was silent: "..."

Mingchen paused and asked, "Do you want me to get one for you?"

The child nodded slightly.

"Ugly insect, ugliness is hidden in shame. The insect turns into a butterfly. How about you call yourself the Shameful Butterfly?"

"Shame... Dad?"

Mingchen: ...

It was a mistake. I wanted to show off my literary talent, but ended up becoming a father.

"It's not Daddy, it's Butterfly. Butterfly, your name is Shy Butterfly. Ugly insects will eventually break out of their cocoons and become butterflies~"

The child stared at Mingchen blankly, as if trying to imprint his appearance into his mind, and nodded gently: "Yes."

From today on, her life starts anew.
