A splatter of blood appeared on the ground, the narrow trail of blood appearing as if it had erupted, scattered across the ground. The bloated demon's body lay shriveled on the ground, its brain matter flowing out from its shattered skull, leaving only a corpse as thin as firewood.
The half-body had actually been embedded in the ground in pieces due to Bai Qian's actions, with its body parts shattered all over the ground.
Seeing this, Bai Qian withdrew her hand, and blood dripped gently from her fingertips. Her sleeve covered her still-dripping fingers.
After doing all that, she looked up at Nian Qi opposite her.
When Nian Qi saw Bai Qian looking over, he also jumped in surprise.
The hand gripping the wooden stick tightened even more.
Although this person saved her, for some reason, she became even more afraid.
Bai Qian glanced at her, then walked past her into the house. Nian Qi stood there, not daring to move, and could only watch Bai Qian pass by her. After wandering around the house for a while, she returned to the courtyard.
Then he found a chair in the yard and sat down, the bamboo chair making a 'creak' sound as he sat on it.
Only then did he look at Nian Qi.
"Don't you have any food at home?" she asked, tilting her head.
I just wandered around the house looking for something to eat. It wasn't that I was hungry, although I wasn't exactly full either. But I mainly wanted to be able to judge the other party's situation based on what they were eating, and even see what was going on in Taiheng City.
While you're at it, check out what kind of snacks Taiheng City has, like those in Changcheng Prefecture. Although Taiheng City isn't the capital of Changhe County, judging by its size, it doesn't seem to be any smaller than Changcheng Prefecture.
She came to Taiheng City with Bai Yao. Pei Huan and Ling Xi did not come with her. Pei Huan said she was going to carry out her plan, but she did not tell Bai Qian what the plan was. As for Ling Xi, Taiheng City was too far away, and it was inconvenient for her to come. She also needed to recover from her injuries, so only she and Bai Yao came.
Last night, after roughly clearing out the demons in Changcheng Prefecture and gaining about 150 years of demon lifespan, I came here early this morning with Bai Yao.
As soon as I arrived here, Bai Yao separated from me, saying that it would be faster to separate and that she wanted me to take the initiative to try to find information and communicate with people.
I don't understand, but I basically won't object to Bai Yao's words. I don't need to worry about Bai Yao's safety either, as I left something protective on Bai Yao before.
After parting ways with Bai Yao, Bai Qian wandered around the city for a while and then got lost.
Taiheng City is no smaller than Changcheng Prefecture. The more critical issue is that this place has inexplicably built many dead ends. There is not a single main road in sight; it is full of all sorts of narrow alleys and lanes.
There were also some nonsensical things inside.
It seems that the creatures that appeared right after the door was opened had already been killed three or four times in the alley, so it wasn't surprising to see them after the door was opened.
As for now, there's no idea to gather intelligence as Bai Yao suggested.
If all else fails, just keep crashing through the wall, tearing it down wherever you see it. That way, you'll eventually find some useful clues.
Upon hearing this, Nian Qi was still somewhat wary of Bai Qian and unsure of what she wanted to do, but there was nothing he could do; he couldn't just refuse, could he?
"No, there's been such a long famine in the city, where would we find any food left? I haven't eaten for two days," she replied helplessly.
As she answered, she glanced at the black-haired girl sitting opposite her. The girl's fair and rosy skin was so delicate that it seemed like she was not someone who often went hungry. Of course, judging by her size, she seemed to be about the same size as her, or even a little shorter.
She was already short enough. According to Cheng, she hadn't eaten much nutritious food since she was a child, and she was always a head shorter than her peers.
Upon hearing this, Bai Qian blinked, then her eyes snapped open.
too horrible.
For Bai Qian, this was probably the most terrifying thing in the world: having nothing to eat.
Looking at Nian Qi opposite her, Bai Qian was immediately filled with awe.
Two days without food was unimaginable for Bai Qian.
Even in my previous life, although I was trapped in that icy white hospital room, at least I still had three meals a day.
Although sometimes they only use intravenous infusions instead, and the food they eat is bland and tasteless.
But at least they ate something.
Let alone not eating for two days, even not eating for one day is unimaginable for Bai Qian.
"Is it always like this?" Bai Qian continued to ask.
She had heard Bai Yao mention the famine outside before, and had a vague impression of it from some fragments of memory. But no matter how many times others told her, it was never as good as seeing it with her own eyes.
“It was better before, but ever since the Lotus Sect took over the city, it’s become like this.” Nian Qixin calmed down a bit and sat down opposite Bai Qian to say in a low voice.
"That one just now?" Bai Qian looked at the corpse at the door.
“It’s Aunt Liu from next door. I remember she was perfectly normal before…” Nian Qi glanced at the corpse and shrank back as he answered.
"Before?" Bai Qian tilted her head.
Nian Qi felt a little guilty because she didn't know how long ago that "before" was.
"My sister should know more about these things than I do," she said softly, glancing cautiously at Bai Qian across from her as she spoke, her thoughts swirling within her, yet she was afraid of being seen through.
Bai Qian didn't notice her little actions, but even if she had, it wouldn't have mattered.
"Is it related to the Lotus Cult?" she asked, standing up.
"Mm." Nian Qi nodded quickly, as if he wanted to say something more.
"Let's go."
"what?"
Nian Qi was taken aback upon hearing this, watching the black-haired girl gracefully stand up and casually pat her clothes.
"Weren't you going to find your sister?"
That's true, but I haven't said it yet; I'm still thinking about how to find a reason.
Seeing the girl in white walk to the door, she quickly followed, carefully stepping over the corpse on the ground beside her.
"So, are we going to the Lotus Altar?" Nian Cheng was going to the Lotus Altar to collect food. If we were to look for her, we should go to the Lotus Life Sect.
Bai Qian shook her head upon hearing this.
"Let's go eat first, then we'll go," he said earnestly.
It's a very simple principle: of all things, eating is the most important.
“But it seems there aren’t many places in the city with food left.” Nian Qi raised a question. Perhaps because the two were about the same height, he was no longer afraid of Bai Qian, even though they had only been in contact for a short time.
"Aren't they everywhere?" Bai Qian tilted her head and asked back.
----
I failed (T▽T) It took me three or four hours to write one chapter. I'm such a useless author. I'm sorry everyone.
The plot also jumped a bit. Continuing with the Changcheng Mansion storyline would have been a bit drawn out, so at most we would have just written some more about daily life. Therefore, we jumped to the main storyline.
I'd also like to ask for everyone's thoughts on this, specifically regarding daily life. Do you prefer more or less of these things? QWQ Feel free to share your opinions!
Please continue reading! Love you all (??????)
Volume 1: 232. A trap? So what if I step on them all?
For Bai Qian, if there really was no food, it didn't matter; she would just go find some.
In her eyes, the entire city of Taiheng was probably no different from a hunting ground.
Demons can only be divided into two types.
Edible and inedible, the inedible ones are naturally those that were just mentioned, demons transformed from humans, which are somewhat disliked, so naturally no one would try them.
As for edible things, anything that isn't a demon transformed from a human can be eaten.
Poisonous or not? Bai Qian didn't really care about that; all she cared about was whether it tasted good or not.
I haven't eaten these demons much before, mainly because I can't cook them well myself. I can still remember the fox demon I ate before, but there's no need to care about that now.
Nian Qi sat nervously to the side, watching Bai Qian deal with the corpse next to her. The corpse was a bull demon that the two of them had just encountered when they went out.
The bull demon, who was wandering the streets in its true form and whose body was almost as tall as a wall, charged straight at Bai Qian and her companion as soon as it saw them. The force of the wind and the gust of wind it brought almost made Nian Qi fall to the ground.
The stone bricks paving the street were all shattered by the bull demon's stomping. Just the aura of its seemingly intent to smash everything made Nian Qi feel a little scared when he thought about it.
Of course, what follows... The bull demon, which looked taller than itself and the person next to it combined, was blocked by a hand. Its head was lowered, and it struggled desperately, but could not get past the girl's slender white palm.
The bull demon was lifted up by force.
I was wondering if my eyes were playing tricks on me, or if my memory was faulty, but I definitely remembered being lifted up at the time.
As far as I can remember, I only saw someone next to it grab its horns and then suddenly lift it up.
One, two, three... it's impossible to count how many times it happened. It was like being whipped and lashed at the ground. The bull demon's enormous body was the whip in her hand. The first lash might not have caused any damage, but instead, it created a huge crater in the ground.
And with the second, third, fourth...
The terrifying-looking bull demon fell to its death, its body transforming into the sticky meat paste that can be seen everywhere on the street, smeared on the ground and walls, like a scene that only appears in nightmares.
The remaining half of the body, which was relatively intact compared to other corpses, was brought back.
Bai Qian squatted on the ground, her white socks stained with blood, and her fingers and face were not very clean either. She had been processing the beef for half a day, and Nian Qi didn't dare to look over. Her beautiful, fair face was almost smeared with blood.
But this half-corpse... it looks like it hasn't moved much at all.
She was a little anxious, but dared not make a sound, so she sat quietly to the side and watched Bai Qian prepare the beef.
Bai Qian squatted on the ground, staring at the part of the cow in front of her for a long time, unable to tell which part it was, and blinked.
So complicated.
"How about we eat it raw?" Bai Qian suggested after thinking for a moment.
Nian Qi was taken aback upon hearing this. He looked at Bai Qian and met her gaze into her clear, dark eyes, then suddenly felt a chill.
"Let me try. Otherwise, I saw my sister handle it before," he said quickly.
Bai Qian tilted her head slightly, without objecting.
Seeing Nian Qi pick up the knife, she stepped aside.
"Why don't you go and wash it first?" she suggested cautiously.
Bai Qian nodded upon hearing this, and then Nian Qi saw ethereal and light clouds rising around her. These moon-white clouds made the girl look like a fairy. In just two or three seconds, the clouds dissipated, and at the same time, the bloodstains on the girl's body disappeared without a trace.
Her clothes and beautiful face were clean and white again, which made Nian Qi pause in surprise.
Compared to the way this person killed the bull demon, it was this seemingly celestial skill that left her somewhat mesmerized.
Noticing that Nian Qi was staring at her, Bai Qian tilted her head in confusion.
When Nian Qi saw Bai Qian looking over, he quickly lowered his head and began to deal with the bull demon in front of him.
Bai Qian sat on the edge of the well, which was quite high, so her feet didn't touch the ground.
He stared blankly at Nian Qi's movements.
Before they parted ways, Bai Yao told him to behave himself for now, that she would investigate, and that he should think about what to do next. She would let him make a decision after she got the information.
If you can't do it well, go copy "Fu Lun" ten times. Speaking of which, what is this thing?
Plan? Decision?
I can't think of anything; it's like those two words don't exist in my mind.
Once we get the intelligence and information, we can just attack directly. What if there are traps? I'll just step on them all.
The only question we need to focus on now is what exactly the "Fu Lun" is and how many characters it contains.
It shouldn't be too long, right?
...
Nian Qi then cooked the beef. As for the taste, she thought it was pretty good. Although the beef was a bit fishy because there weren't many seasonings at home, it was already quite good for someone who hadn't eaten for several days.
Bai Qian, on the other hand, only took one bite and then stopped eating.
It tasted even worse than the food in the hospital in her previous life.
They waited for Nianqi to finish his meal before taking him to the Lotus Altar.
“I heard my sister mention that although the adults in the Lotus Life Sect distribute food, they have some requirements that might not be very good.” Nian Qi walked beside Bai Qian past the meat sauce smeared on the street. It was noon, but there were hardly any people on the road.
To be honest, she was a little curious about how that bull demon had come to be.
"It seems that if you accept gifts from those adults, you have to believe in the Lotus Goddess. I wanted to do that before, but my sister wouldn't let me." Her voice was filled with timidity and confusion.
Bai Qian didn't speak and walked ahead. As soon as she turned a corner, she saw a bloated demon lying on the ground with its back to the two of them. It was gnawing on the corpse lying on the ground. The corpse had lost all humanity, and all that could be seen was a bundle lying in the pool of blood next to it.
Seeing this, Nian Qi took a step back, but Bai Qian did not stop.
She seemed not to see the bloated demon and walked right past it.
