I saw someone in white standing in the shadows.
She subconsciously tugged at the hem of her clothes, unaware of what was happening.
But the man next to him, who seemed to be wholeheartedly devouring the heart and liver, reacted instantly. His bushy beard transformed into reddish-brown fur in an instant, and a fierce glint flashed in his beastly eyes.
A deafening roar exploded in the room, and blood streamed from the portly man's ears.
The man's upper body had transformed into a reddish-brown lion, its ferocious face lunging at the man in white.
Bai Qian looked at the lion demon rushing towards her and casually stretched out her white palm.
The lion demon's ferocious pounce froze instantly.
Pressed to the spot by that fair, delicate finger, the beast's eyes, as big as copper bells, stared intently at Bai Qian.
Bai Qian met its gaze calmly.
The next moment, its body exploded.
Like an inflating balloon, its body reaches its limit at a certain moment, and then bursts open in that instant.
The seemingly thick skin was now floating around the room, thick blood mixed with hair was splattering everywhere, blood foam and fragments of internal organs were scattered in every corner of the room, and bone fragments were casually embedded in the wooden planks next to it. In just an instant, the room had become a scene that looked like hell.
The maid beside her stared blankly at the scene, and after realizing what was happening, she instinctively wanted to cry out.
However, when those slightly cold eyes looked over, not a sound came out.
Bai Qian didn't intend to pay her any attention. After glancing at her, she turned her gaze to the side.
That is, in wealthy men.
The portly man was stunned for a moment, before he could figure out how to treat Bai Qian, or how to escape the fate of being turned into mincemeat like the demon he had just encountered.
Looking into those cold, icy eyes, eyes that sent chills down your spine, deep and clear like an abyss, seemed capable of swallowing your soul.
Consciousness swayed in this sinking black sea, like a small boat constantly rocking and swaying.
In the end, the swaying black sea completely swallowed up people's minds.
The portly man was completely plunged into the sea of chaos, and everything was submerged in the boundless black sea.
The man lay motionless on the ground, and Bai Qian then withdrew her gaze.
He glanced at the maid beside him, but didn't make things difficult for her, and left the room with light steps.
There were quite a few demons we saw during the day, so we need to hurry.
Volume 1: 130. Has it dawned on you?
Everywhere you look is bright red—blood. Thick, flowing blood permeates the space and overflows the ground.
Red lotus flowers floated on the blood, and people dressed in red robes walked slowly in the blood pool.
Faint whispers of distress came from the bright red blood. An arm covered in blood emerged from the blood and twitched as if pleading for help.
It only emerges from the blood, but in the end, it silently disappears back into the blood without causing the slightest ripple.
The red-robed man passing by didn't even bother to cast a glance at it.
The red-haired woman squatted in the middle of the blood pool, intently carving a wooden statue with a knife. Her long, crimson hair drooped in the sea of blood, while several red-robed figures stood beside her with their heads bowed.
"So, another butler has fallen?" A magnetic voice came from her lips.
One of the men in red robes, who had his head down, quickly replied, "That should be it. Yu Gu has disappeared without a trace. He's most likely perished there, probably killed by people from Baifeng City, just like Elder Zhi."
"Oh." The red-haired woman simply nodded casually upon hearing this.
"Shall we send some more men to retaliate?" the man in red robes asked cautiously.
Upon hearing this, the red-haired woman looked up at the man in the red robe.
"We're not quite enough manpower." She shook her head in denial.
"The church is short-handed in dealing with Him. Now is the critical time to deal with Him. Since someone has been killed, we don't need to worry about her. Let's deal with the most important thing first."
"If you really want revenge, go find the Qinglang Gang. Didn't she kill those snake demons? Go find those snakes. Aren't they the best at revenge? Go find them."
"The primary goal now is to remove His divine position so that Mother Lotus can bestow blessings."
"Do you know?" Those blood-red eyes stared at the red-robed man in front of him, as if two eyes were superimposed, pupils within pupils giving people a terrifying feeling, not to mention the crimson lotus trajectory flowing in those pupils.
"Yes." All the red-robed men bowed their heads in awe as they faced those double pupils that resembled lotus flowers.

"You're back?" Bai Yao opened the door and saw Bai Qian, who was soaking wet. Although she had a smile on her face, her eyes didn't look very friendly.
Bai Qian's robe was completely soaked by the rain, and clear raindrops dripped from her long eyelashes. Her wet black hair hung down her back.
After all, she didn't go out with an umbrella. Of course, Bai Qian didn't really like using umbrellas. Although she could use the fire in the stove to protect herself from the rain, she didn't think getting wet was a big deal.
In fact, she quite enjoys being in the rain. In her previous life, she spent most of her time in a hospital ward and rarely had the opportunity to come into contact with rain.
"Mm." Bai Qian nodded, not really bothered by Bai Yao's unfriendly gaze.
I went out to find some demons. I basically explored all the demons I sensed during the day. Unlike Bai Fengcheng, the demons in Changcheng Prefecture seem to prefer living in the homes of wealthy merchants in the city.
The demons that Bai Qian found all lived in the homes of wealthy merchants in Changcheng Prefecture, and their daily food was provided by these merchants.
As for why these wealthy merchants supported these demons, Bai Qian was too lazy to find out. After killing the demons, she also dealt with the humans.
In Bai Qian's eyes, there wasn't such a clear distinction between them and demons; in fact, they had a lot in common.
One punch would shatter everything into pieces, leaving no room for speech. Bai Qian only needed to know this much.
Bai Qian wasn't too concerned about being soaking wet, but Bai Yao clearly didn't think so.
In the misty room, Bai Qian sat in a wooden tub filled with cool hot water, while Bai Yao sat behind her, patiently tending to her wet hair.
"Did you find anything after taking a walk around?" He asked, carefully smoothing Bai Qian's delicate hair while gazing at the girl's fair nape.
Bai Qian, who was sitting with her legs drawn up, thought about it seriously for a moment after hearing this.
"No, I don't think so," he replied, shaking his head.
Although I wandered around the city for a long time and visited some demons, I didn't actually make many discoveries.
If we don't calculate the lifespan of the demons we obtained, we can only know from the demons themselves that they like to hide in the city.
Reading the minds of those wealthy merchants didn't yield much useful information; it only gave a vague idea of what the Green Wave Gang in the city was looking for.
"So, what do you think of this place?" Bai Yao gazed at the girl's snow-white back in front of her, gently applying water to her delicate skin.
"I don't know." Bai Qian's answer was exactly what Bai Yao expected.
“Perhaps a little better than Bai Fengcheng,” Bai Qian replied after a moment’s thought.
It would be better if there were more demons. Her thoughts were probably the opposite of ordinary people. While others were afraid of too many demons, she was the opposite.
"That's better, that's good. You might even stay here from now on. Speaking of which, do you need me to find you a tutor, Xiaoqian? Someone to teach you to read and write. I might not be a good teacher." Bai Yao smiled gently and then asked.
"No need." This time, Bai Qian clearly shook her head and refused.
If it weren't for Bai Yao's request, Bai Qian might not be interested in learning to read at all.
"Then let's leave it at that for now." Bai Yao shook her head, not insisting. This kind of thing definitely depends on Bai Qian's opinion. Since she doesn't want to do it, there's no need for her to make Bai Qian do something she doesn't like.
"I should go out early tomorrow morning. Miss Pei might come over. If she has something to do, Xiaoqian, you can decide what to do yourself." After Bai Yao tidied Bai Qian's long hair, she helped her put on her inner lining.
Bai Qian stood barefoot on the ground, her eyelids still dripping with tears, letting Bai Yao put clothes on her. She nodded when she heard Bai Yao's words.
"I'd like to go check out the martial arts gym tomorrow."
The amount of lifespan of the demons obtained tonight is quite substantial, and this is only a small part of Changcheng Prefecture. If all the demons in Changcheng Prefecture were included, the number would be staggering.
You can start learning new martial arts now, and then transform those new martial arts into a bizarre incarnation.
"It's up to you, Xiaoqian." Bai Yao nodded, not caring much.
"It's getting late, you should go to sleep. What do you want to eat tomorrow? You should be able to eat it when you wake up in the morning."
"Steamed fish." Bai Qian swung her long sleeves, water droplets from her hair dripping onto the ground.
"Hmm, I'll take a look tomorrow morning. Fish should be easy to buy here, since it's close to the Cheng River, there should be plenty of fish." Bai Yao nodded.
"Here, take this with you when you go out tomorrow morning." Bai Qian stretched out her palm, and a pale white peach blossom appeared on her fair and pink fingertips. It was not large, and the color was not bright. Instead, it was like a snow lotus, giving off a cool and aloof feeling.
"Is this for me?" Bai Yao blinked, and although it was a question, she quickly accepted the peach blossom branch.
"Ah."
"Be careful, and you can tell me if anything happens." Bai Qian thought for a moment and then added.
Bai Yao, who was about to tidy up the bed, paused upon hearing this. She turned around and looked at Bai Qian's still blank and aloof face, her eyes filled with a hint of doubt, as if she were seeing her for the first time.
It's like a flower blooming from a stone, or snow falling in July.
"I know." Her doubt turned into a smile, and Bai Yao answered naturally and easily, her eyebrows curving slightly.
"Speaking of which, do you need to write in your diary today? You can finish writing before going to sleep," Bai Yao asked immediately.
"Let's go to sleep," Bai Qian replied even faster.

I'll take a break from updating twice today, and I'll try to maintain a three-update schedule tomorrow.
And, thank you so much for all the votes! I feel a little guilty asking for votes without offering a reward, so I'll try to update as much as I can from now on. Thank you everyone!!
Love you all????
Volume 1: 131. [Empty Flow]
"Hmm... this is Miss Bai Qian, right?" Du Xianhua looked at the black-haired girl who was sitting quietly in the martial arts hall, eating rice cake.
Her petite figure sat in the corner of the martial arts hall, nibbling on rice cakes. Her cheeks were puffed up with crumbs, and she looked like a squirrel. Judging from her appearance, she gave off a cool and cute feeling, like a young lady who was naive and innocent.
Of course, from the current perspective, this person is no different from a young lady.
She glanced at the girl in blue in front of her, and the girl in blue coughed in response to Du Xianhua's questioning look.
“One hundred taels of silver! Our martial arts school hasn’t had any income for many days. If this continues, you and I will be eating dirt.” Although He Yu was a little guilty, he still argued his case.
"Besides, there are already very few martial arts schools in Changcheng Prefecture. If we don't teach her, she won't be able to find any other schools. If she encounters some unscrupulous people, she might not even know who we are."
One hundred taels of silver is no small amount. A few taels of silver are usually enough for a family of three to live on for a year. Having one hundred taels of silver basically means that you won't have to worry about food and drink.
Du Xianhua knew this, but out of her conscience, she really didn't want to lie to people.
This girl doesn't seem suited to learning martial arts. Besides, in this day and age, learning some half-baked martial arts is not as practical as praying to the gods.
Although she thought this way, she still sighed slightly when she saw Bai Qian, who seemed completely unconcerned about her and was munching on rice cakes in the corner of the martial arts hall.
Approaching Bai Qian, who was quietly munching on rice cake with her head down, Bai Qian seemed to sense something, raised her head, and looked at the woman in front of her with her clear eyes.
Du Xianhua squatted down slightly and sat on the steps with Bai Qian.
"Miss Bai Qian, do you want to learn martial arts? Is it your own wish or is it something your family requires you to do?" she asked softly.
Judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem to have his own opinions. Perhaps learning martial arts was required by his family?
Bai Qian put the last bite of rice cake into her mouth, puffed out her cheeks, swallowed it, and then took out a handkerchief from her pocket to wipe her hands and mouth.
"Hmm." I don't even know which question I'm answering.
Du Xianhua rubbed her hair and sighed.
"Have you studied martial arts before?"
"I've studied it, but for less than ten days." This answer didn't surprise Du Xianhua. Looking at this person's slender fingers and untouched appearance, she didn't know him to have any martial arts training.
People who have practiced martial arts are unlikely to have such delicate bodies; even girls should have calluses.
"Do you have any favorite martial arts styles?"
"Hammer." Although she is currently most skilled in swordsmanship and palm techniques, Bai Qian still thinks the hammer is quite useful.
At first, Bai Qian wanted to learn how to use a hammer because it hits the ground far, but in reality, she's almost able to develop a flying sword, so things like distance are no longer important. Now it's just a matter of obsession.
The hammer that Pei Huan commissioned the blacksmith in Baifeng City to forge is definitely unavailable now. However, Changcheng Prefecture is different from Baifeng City. According to Pei Huan, it can be purchased directly. As for what it looks like, we can wait until we get there to see for ourselves.
hammer?
Du Xianhua was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, thinking she had misheard. She glanced at Bai Qian again to confirm that the girl had not made a mistake.
