The sickly girl is killing her way through the weird world

Perhaps we'll have to continue dealing with Zhang Wu and his group.

"I remember there were four people in that group. What about the last one? Was he eaten by a demon?" The carpenter's eyelids twitched as he looked at the broken wooden sword in Huang Qi's hand.

He seemed to have thought of something, but dared not think about it further.

"do not know."

"do not know?"

Upon hearing the carpenter's question, Huang Qi's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, unsure of how to respond to the carpenter.

The last one was found, but... we can't figure out how it died.

After all, they had become a mass of flesh and bones, buried under the earthen wall, like flies swatted flat in the summer.

"Anyway, those three people were killed by this wooden sword. I heard you've made a few wooden swords recently?"

The carpenter didn't say anything.

He suddenly recognized the origin of the wooden sword in Huang Qi's hand.

After all, she was taken away by that girl surnamed Bai yesterday, completely intact.

"Did anyone slaughter a pig in the city yesterday?" he asked, puzzled.

Huang Qi was taken aback when he heard the carpenter's question.

"Why are you asking this? If you want to eat pork, can you help me find out where this wooden sword came from? I'll have someone send you three pigs." He said impatiently.

It's about finding, not grabbing.

He needed to give those fox demons an explanation, but only an explanation.

Anyone who saw the miserable state of those four people would not want to provoke the person behind it. He just wanted to get some relevant clues so that he wouldn't be caught off guard by the foxes asking questions and he wouldn't know anything.

If you want to find trouble for the murderer, let those foxes do it.

"Pork prices are really high lately; it's not easy to get a bite to eat," the carpenter said, glancing out the window.

"If you don't know, I'll ask someone else." Huang Qi understood what the carpenter meant.

"I'm not sure," the carpenter shook his head.

"Oh." Huang Qi simply put away the wooden sword and was about to leave.

He paused as he was about to leave.

"Speaking of which, the two neighbors next door only moved in within the last year, right?"

The carpenter understood Huang Qi's underlying meaning.

It's nothing more than asking yourself whether Bai Yao and her companion have any powerful backers.

In this world, if you want to live peacefully, you either need to have someone to rely on, or you need to be strong enough yourself.

"I'm not sure." The carpenter maintained the same attitude.

Even if he hadn't seen that sword, he wouldn't have explained the matter clearly.

Moreover, they saw the sword.

He vaguely remembered that the girl had asked him where Zhang Wu lived.

He answered casually at the time and didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that she was just asking casually.

The carpenter felt a little uneasy as he watched others slaughter pigs.

Killing three people with a wooden sword? To be honest, he couldn't imagine it.

"That's all you know." Huang Qi waved his hand.

"I've gone to check other places. If you have any useful information, remember to report it to the authorities."

---

Standing in front of the door, Huang Qi looked at the door still covered with old Spring Festival couplets and patted it twice without any hesitation.

The door was opened a crack, and Bai Yao opened it, seeing Huang Qi standing outside. She frowned slightly.

Every day, all these people are just a jumble of random junk.

Huang Qi glanced at the scene in the courtyard.

He had met Bai Yao before, and vaguely remembered her as a rather pretty girl.

In the courtyard, besides Bai Yao, there was a black-haired girl sitting on a low stool peeling scallions.

"Tell her to stop peeling it; it's a waste of grain." Huang Qi couldn't stand it after just one glance.

The scallions were thicker than two fingers, but after peeling them, they were no thinner than a finger. If anyone ate like that, they would starve to death.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yao glanced at Bai Qian with a hint of helplessness.

"Is there something you need, sir?"

"Have you seen this wooden sword before?" Huang Qi asked, taking out the wooden sword.

"What is this?" Bai Yao's eyes flickered.

"If you haven't seen it before, then forget it." Huang Qi didn't ask any further questions.

“Next month, either of you should choose one to come to the Huang family,” he continued.

Bai Yao's usually calm eyes flickered slightly.

"For what?"

"It's been quite unsettled lately, and with the two-year drought... the elderly in the city feel that it's because they haven't been worshipping Lady Bai Feng much, so they plan to hold another ceremony for her next month."

"However, we are still missing someone to preside over the sacrificial ceremony. Ideally, the person should be an unmarried woman."

Bai Yao's expression hardened.

Who should preside over the sacrificial ceremony?

It was probably meant to be used as a sacrificial offering.

"At that time, all the unmarried women in Baifeng City will go there. If you are chosen, the Huang family will give you one hundred taels of silver." Huang Qi gave these instructions and then left without saying anything more, watching Bai Yao go.

Bai Yao was left alone, closing the door with a worried expression.

She walked up to Bai Qian, who was still entangled with the scallion, and her first words were...

"Why don't we leave Baifeng City and go to other counties or even the prefectural city?"

Volume 1: Chapter 11, Visiting Other Demons

"Where are we moving to?" Bai Qian asked, sitting on a low stool and clumsily peeling scallions.

She didn't dislike peeling onions too much. In her previous life, she had been confined to a hospital ward and had only heard about many things without ever actually doing them, so she was quite interested in it now.

Although some of the things that were peeled out were not very presentable.

"I don't know." Bai Yao's face showed some disappointment.

Where can we move to? This world is full of demons.

"Liang Du?" Bai Qian asked.

These are the only two major cities in the original owner's memory.

One was Changcheng Prefecture, the capital of Changhe County where they lived, and the other was Liangdu, the capital of Liang Kingdom.

"That place? Definitely not." Upon hearing Bai Qian's suggestion, Bai Yao rejected it without even thinking.

"Isn't that the capital of the Liang Dynasty?"

"It's Liang Kingdom, not Liang Dynasty. The term 'dynasty' is usually used after a state ends." Bai Yao raised her slender index finger and earnestly corrected Bai Qian.

"Oh."

“That place is very dangerous. There are probably many, many more demons and monsters there than in Bai Fengcheng,” Bai Yao sighed and continued, her eyes somewhat somber.

"Then let's go to the county town." Bai Qian said indifferently.

For her, anywhere is fine.

Perhaps a place with many demons is even better?

She doesn't quite understand what this thing that can consume the lifespan of demons to increase her martial arts power is yet.

Or rather, it's unclear what to do next.

Hunt down these demons and monsters to improve your martial arts skills?

It seems to have meaning, but it also seems to have no meaning.

Bai Qian didn't have such grand ambitions; in her previous life, all she wanted was to be able to walk freely in the sunlight.

Now that her wish has been fulfilled, it is said that human greed is endless, but she has no other ideas for the time being.

In any case, you can't just say something like, "Let's see how far we can improve our martial arts so that we can slaughter all the demons in this world."

It sounds unrealistic.

However, it's not impossible.

“The county town…” Bai Yao murmured to herself for a while, then gently shook her head.

Let's talk about this later.

"The person who just arrived?" Bai Qian wasn't deaf, so naturally she couldn't have missed what Huang Qi had just said to Bai Yao.

"Don't worry about him. At worst, we can leave before then. In a few days, a caravan will probably pass through Baifeng City. Let's hitch a ride with that caravan to Changcheng Prefecture first. Once we get there, we can see where we can move to." Bai Yao's tone was a little unnatural.

"Mmm." Bai Qian put down the scallion in her hand and licked her sticky fingers.

The tongue carefully retracted.

It's so spicy.

"Speaking of which, if I suddenly disappear later, Xiaoqian won't need to look for me anymore," Bai Yao said after a moment's hesitation.

"Hmm... If you can read well, you can work for a wealthy family or find a job as an accountant in a shop. There are quite a few literate people nowadays, even girls. They should be needed, so you don't have to worry about making a living."

"What are you going to do?" Bai Qian naturally became interested in Bai Yao's whereabouts.

Bai Yao did not answer.

"Wait a minute, peel the garlic. We can make dumplings for dinner. I've already rolled out the dough. I'm going out to buy some things," she said.

"If you're at home, you can look at the words I taught you last night, or maybe you can try writing a diary?"

Bai Qian nodded, thought for a moment about what garlic looked like, and as for a diary? What was that?

She has already forgotten most of the words she learned last night.

She only stopped peeling the scallions when she saw Bai Yao carrying the cloth bag out the door.

Gazing at the gently closed door, Bai Qian fell into thought.

She wasn't pondering what garlic looked like; she was thinking about her next plan.

What needs to be done next.

We weren't eating dumplings, but dumplings are indeed quite delicious.

[The demon's remaining lifespan is thirteen years, and the strange entity's remaining lifespan is twenty years.]

This is the lifespan Bai Qian has left.

Bai Yao didn't plan to teach Bai Qian the last two moves of the Snow Willow Sword for the time being. Instead, she wanted Bai Qian to master the Willow Snow Technique before considering the latter two moves.

Otherwise, you can learn to read on your own first, and then read those books.

This also includes the fact that Liu Dianxue can continue to consume the lifespan of demons to further enhance herself.

But before the upgrade, the lifespan of the demons in my possession will definitely not be enough.

As for the strange lifespan, Bai Qian does not plan to use it for the time being.

The strange lifespan doesn't feel good, and it comes at a price. Before figuring out what the strange thing is, Bai Qian doesn't want to use it for the time being.

Bai Qian was quite interested in improving her martial arts skills, and since she wanted to improve them, she naturally needed the lifespan of a demon.

So, the next thing to do is to find the lifespan of the demon?
