Little Dragon Girl turned to leave, but the aroma of roast chicken made her pause, her nostrils twitching and her stomach growling.
"..."
……
After finishing the whole chicken, Li Mochou let out a satisfied sigh, wiped her mouth, and stood up, saying, "I'm full."
Ling Chi nodded and asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
"Whether I say it or not is no longer important." Li Mochou smiled slightly and said, "After I die, who cares about the deluge?"
To be honest, Li Mochou's smile is quite beautiful. No wonder, she's only thirty years old now, still in the category of mature young ladies. In terms of looks, she can't compare to Xiao Zhao or Zhou Zhiruo, but she can rival Ren Yingying and Yilin.
It would be a shame to kill him.
"It's good that you think that way." Ling Chi drew a kitchen knife from his waist and raised it high: "Don't worry, I'll be quick, it won't hurt."
Li Mochou closed her eyes.
"Stop!" A clear, cold voice rang out. Ling Chi turned his head and saw a fairy-like girl in white robes walking through the air and landing in front of him in the blink of an eye.
The young girl, sword in hand, stood in front of Li Mochou, looking at him warily: "Who are you? Why did you kill my senior sister?"
Li Mochou opened her eyes, saw the girl, and a deep emotion flashed in her eyes: "Long'er."
"Senior sister, let's talk later!" Little Dragon Girl didn't dare to turn around, fearing that Ling Chi would suddenly kill her.
Although Li Mochou was deeply moved, she sighed and said, "Long'er, there's no need. I'm already content to die just to see you one last time before I die."
"You won't die!" Little Dragon Girl said resolutely.
"..." Li Mochou opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say. She could only give Ling Chi a pleading look: My junior sister is innocent, please don't kill her.
Ling Chi sized up Xiaolongnu.
Her face was very pale, and her clothes were also white. Although she looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old, she was tall and well-developed, with perfectly proportioned features. Standing there with her sword in hand, her face was as cold as ice, which added to her aloofness.
She was as beautiful as an angel.
He had to admit that among all the women he had ever seen, the Little Dragon Girl before him was the most beautiful, even surpassing Zhou Zhiruo and Xiao Zhao by a slight margin. Perhaps only Zhu Fei, with her own noble bearing, could rival her.
She truly deserves the title of Little Dragon Girl; perhaps she is the most beautiful woman in Jin Yong's novels.
Ling Chi pulled out something with a round head, smiling broadly: "Little girl, would you like a lollipop?"
"..."
Chapter Four: Are You the Devil?
Seeing Xiaolongnu staring coldly at him, Ling Chi scratched his head and handed the lollipop to Lu Wushuang: "Wushuang, here you go."
"Thank you, big brother."
Lu Wushuang licked the lollipop with delight: "So sweet."
Ling Chi patted her head, turned to look at Xiaolongnu, and said, "Little girl, do you want to save your senior sister?"
“Not bad!” said Little Dragon Girl.
"Heh..." Ling Chi chuckled and said, "Have you ever heard the phrase 'a life for a life'?"
Little Dragon Girl nodded: "Of course I've heard of it."
"Then why are you still going to save a female demon who has killed countless people?" Ling Chi stroked Lu Wushuang's hair and said calmly, "Do you know that not long ago, your senior sister just killed Wushuang's entire family?"
These words made Lu Wushuang's eyes redden, and tears fell: "Father, Mother..."
"!?!" Little Dragon Girl was utterly shocked, turning to look at Li Mochou: "Senior Sister, you..."
Li Mochou smiled bitterly: "That's right, I did it."
"..."
"Now..." Ling Chi raised the kitchen knife: "Are you still going to stop me?"
"..." The little dragon goddess had a complicated expression and was speechless.
"Little girl, move aside!" Ling Chi said, "Everyone has to bear the consequences of their actions. You don't need to bear the consequences of your senior sister's actions."
Little Dragon Girl remained silent.
"Long'er, step aside!" Li Mochou sighed softly, "This is a debt I owe myself, and I will repay it myself."
Xiaolongnu was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Master... left you a stone coffin."
Li Mochou's delicate body trembled, her eyes reddened, and tears fell: "Is that so... Master..."
Little Dragon Girl watched her silently.
After a moment, Li Mochou wiped away her tears and smiled, "Long'er, I'll trouble you to help me with the burial from now on."
Little Dragon Girl nodded: "I will."
Seeing Xiaolongnu step aside, Ling Chi looked at Li Mochou and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Li Mochou thought for a moment: "Could you leave me a complete corpse? I don't want to die covered in blood."
"Quite a few demands." Ling Chi smiled faintly: "When you kill someone, do you ever consider leaving them a complete corpse?"
"I know I've put you in a difficult position, young hero," Li Mochou pleaded, "but I've heard the saying, 'Respect for the dead is paramount.' Are you unwilling to even grant me my last wish before I died?"
“…” Ling Chi thought for a moment and said, “Alright, killing someone doesn’t necessarily require a knife.”
He put away the kitchen knife and extended his right index finger: "I have a pressure point technique that can strike your fatal point without drawing blood."
Li Mochou breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully, "Thank you very much, young hero."
"No need, can we set off now?"
Li Mochou nodded, pointed at Hong Lingbo, and said to Xiaolongnu, "Long'er, this is my disciple Hong Lingbo. The young hero has decided to spare her life. After I die, please take care of her."
Little Dragon Girl turned to look at Hong Lingbo, and seeing no gloom in her eyes, nodded: "I will."
Tears streamed down Li Mochou's face: "Thank you."
These were her last words before she died. Afterwards, she was killed by Ling Chi's finger. Her death was complete and painless, which can be considered a different kind of peaceful end.
“Master, sob sob sob…” Hong Lingbo cried.
Although Li Mochou frequently beat and scolded her during her lifetime, she was saved by Li Mochou after all, so there were still feelings between them.
Xiaolongnu held Li Mochou's body, gently stroking her delicate eyebrows. Li Mochou looked serene, as if asleep. She was truly beautiful at that moment.
"Little girl, do you need help?" Ling Chi squatted down and asked.
Xiaolongnu looked up at him and said calmly, "No need." She paused, then added, "Thank you for leaving my senior sister with a complete corpse."
"Respect for the dead is paramount. I'm just fulfilling a person's last wish." Ling Chi took out a paper package from his sleeve, which contained several red bean buns.
"Want to eat?"
"..." Little Dragon Girl's eyes were very strange: "Why are you so strange?"
“I don’t think I’m weird at all.” Ling Chi smiled, took a bite of a red bean bun, and said, “I’m just living with a clear conscience. Only with a clear conscience can one be free.”
Little Dragon Girl was silent for a moment, then nodded: "You are a wise woman."
"You noticed?" Ling Chi's eyes lit up, and he scratched his head. "Haha, I'm actually a little embarrassed."
"..."
"Here you go." Ling Chi handed the paper package forward.
Xiaolongnu hesitated for a moment, but finally took one. She hadn't eaten yet when Li Mochou called her out, and she was indeed hungry.
I took a bite of the red bean bun; it was soft, chewy, and sweet—absolutely delicious. For some reason, my previously gloomy mood instantly improved.
"Is it delicious?" Ling Chi asked.
Little Dragon Girl nodded, finished one in a few bites, and then took another.
The more she ate, the tastier it became, and her mood improved accordingly. In the blink of an eye, Little Dragon Girl had finished the remaining five red bean buns, her whole face lighting up with a bright, innocent smile unique to children.
but……
Why am I happy that my senior sister is dead?
Little Dragon Girl was suddenly startled and fell into deep self-doubt.
"Want some more?" Ling Chi pulled another paper package from his sleeve. This package contained small, flower-shaped pastries. "I have some more."
"..."
Are you the devil?
Xiaolongnu felt she couldn't continue like this, otherwise she was afraid that she would forget that her senior sister was already dead before she even prepared her body for burial.
"No need, I'm already full." Suppressing her urge to eat, Xiaolongnu picked up Li Mochou and said to Hong Lingbo, who was still sobbing, "Don't cry, come with me!"
"Yes, Uncle-Master." Hong Lingbo wiped away her tears and walked behind Xiaolongnu.
Little Dragon Girl nodded to Ling Chi, then turned and went back to the ancient tomb.
As the stone door of the ancient tomb closed, Ling Chi withdrew his gaze and presented the snacks to Lu Wushuang: "Little kitten, time for some snacks."
"I'm not a little kitten." Lu Wushuang wiped the tears from her face and said, "Big brother, thank you."
Ling Chi smiled slightly and asked, "What are your plans for the future?"
"..." Lu Wushuang remained silent for a long time, looking completely bewildered.
"If you have nowhere to go, just come with me!" Ling Chi patted her head and said, "At least I won't let you go hungry."
Lu Wushuang thought for a moment and said, "Big brother, can you help me find my cousin?"
"I will." Ling Chi nodded: "But finding your cousin in this vast sea of people won't be easy, so you should be prepared."
"Mm." Lu Wushuang nodded. "Thank you, big brother."
Ling Chi smiled slightly: "You're welcome."
……
Shuang'er had cooked a pot of mushroom and wild vegetable soup. Ling Chi tasted it and smiled, "It tastes good. Shuang'er's cooking skills are getting better and better."
Judging from his advanced blue-level cooking skills, Shuang'er has already reached advanced white-level cooking skills, so she can take care of all three meals a day from now on.
