The sickly girl is killing her way through the weird world

Bai Qian was taking small bites of the apricot blossom cake that had just been served when she heard Pei Huan's words and blinked her dark eyes to look at the list.

Then I looked away.

She didn't know what Pei Huan was talking about, and she couldn't understand it.

"Is it expensive?"

"Yes, there are some, but it's not just because they're expensive; the main reason is that they're hard to find."

“The Spirit Offering Token is considered a hard currency for trading with demons and monsters; they have a great demand for it.”

"What's the use?" Bai Qian blinked, having no recollection of it.

She rarely loots the spoils after killing a demon.

"Hmm, if we're talking about its uses, I've heard it can help them increase their strength?" Pei Huan wasn't quite sure.

"Anyway, it's quite rare."

"Does that mean there will be demons and monsters?"

"That's not necessarily true; it depends on the monster."

"I'll take care of that."

If there are demons, things will be easier.

"It will take some time to purchase these things. Did you say when?" Pei Huan asked. She had already figured out that Bai Qian probably didn't need these things.

"As soon as possible?"

"Then I'll head out to get ready in a bit." Pei Huan nodded.

I haven't planned to tell Bai Qian about my family matters yet. It's ultimately my own business, and there's no need to trouble Bai Qian. I can handle it myself.

"I'll go with you," Bai Qian said after thinking for a moment. She still had nothing to do.

Bai Yao was away from home, as was Ling Xi. They went to prepare the items on the list themselves, as Ling Xi seemed to have some things to prepare as well.

If we're looking for demons, it's daytime now, so it's not easy to find them. After thinking about it, I guess they'll just wander around the streets like they did yesterday.

Then I might as well go with Pei Huan.

“Okay.” Pei Huan nodded, without objection, and even seemed a little excited.

"Is that the person Fourth Sister found?" The woman in the red dress stood in the shadow of the eaves, watching Bai Qian and Pei Huan leave the Pei residence, and frowned slightly.

"Aside from being pretty, there's nothing particularly special about it."

The man standing behind the woman said in a slightly hoarse voice, "The deacons of the church have fallen into her hands."

"The church's current instruction is not to provoke her, but if we can deal with her without using the church's resources, we should be able to gain the church's favor. Haven't you always wanted to join our church?"

The woman in the red dress simply squinted at the departing figures of the two men.

"I just want you to help me get the position of family head. The old man's attitude is very clear. He still favors this girl. He has caused such a big disaster and he doesn't care."

"Do you have a solution?" She turned to look at the man beside her.

The man didn't speak, gazing into the distance.

"Yes, but it depends on how you look at it."

It was still raining. Ever since Bai Qian and her companions arrived at Changcheng Mansion, it had been raining almost every day. The misty rain seemed to have no intention of stopping.

"Well, we've bought all the basic food and supplies, but the rest might be a bit more troublesome." Pei Huan and Bai Qian walked down the street, Pei Huan holding an oil-paper umbrella for Bai Qian while looking at the list in his hand.

"The rest are all props used for daily rituals, which are not easy to find. Let me think about where I can buy them." She lowered her head and pondered.

Bai Qian was carrying a bag of chestnuts, just like before; she was buying food on the street anyway.

Pei Huan basically handled all the purchasing, so Bai Qian didn't need to do much.

The cool raindrops hitting my face felt quite nice.

"I remember some of the old shops in the city might still have some left?" Pei Huan muttered to himself.

Bai Qian suddenly turned her head.

I saw a man wearing a straw hat on the street.

The man in the bamboo hat was startled when Bai Qian suddenly turned her head to look at him, and then turned to leave.

Turning around, I saw a black-haired girl.

He subconsciously drew the long sword from his waist.

Raindrops pelted the blade as he drew it.

Her slender white fingers touched the blade, and the long sword, forged from fine iron, shattered into fragments along with the rain.

His panicked expression was reflected in those dark eyes.

Pei Huan, who was not far away, blinked when she saw this, but didn't seem to care. She was used to her master Qian's elusive nature. Instead of worrying about this, she should think about how to buy the things later, preferably by the end of the day.

As she was still thinking this, a pale hand quietly landed on her neck.

A woman in a tattered white dress appeared beside him without his noticing.

The cold air seeped into the body.

The woman wore a chilling smile, her hands just about to close.

Even faster than her was Bai Qian, who had somehow appeared behind her.

Just a quick shot.

Blood and raindrops fell everywhere, bones shattered, and flesh was crumpled into a ball, like a tattered tissue that was first crumpled into a single piece and then completely torn apart, with fragments scattered all over the ground.

She did not die; on the contrary, her flesh and blood were healing rapidly. Although she was swatted on the ground like a mosquito, the shattered flesh and blood were trying to come back together.

Bai Qian lowered her eyes and looked at her, casually waving her long sleeves.

She lifted the curtain of rain, and the raindrops seemed to swirl together like a vortex, as if the air itself was distorted by the rain.

Fall.

Like a meat grinder, the freshly gathered flesh and blood were evenly smeared on the ground, blending in with the rainwater.

Volume 1: 146. Without lungs, can one still speak?

Pei Huan only managed to regain consciousness when the cool raindrops fell on her skin.

I looked blankly at what had just happened.

Thinking things through was somewhat difficult.

To put it simply, it's not too difficult to figure out what just happened.

It's probably like something suddenly attacked him and Asahi, and Asahi quickly... well, even more simply, killed them with two slaps.

My consciousness was a little hazy just now, which I guess must have been the other party's trick.

The only thing that's puzzling right now is where these two came from.

The woman in the white dress is best left alone; these shredded pieces of flesh are probably good enough to make dumplings. She's unlikely to survive.

That's the other one.

The man in the straw hat was trapped in place by the water curtain, which had turned into a cage.

Bai Qian only crushed the knife in his hand and then used the water curtain to trap him; she didn't kill him with a slap.

The main reason is that it's unnecessary. Men are neither demons nor monsters, so even if you slap one to death, it won't bring Bai Qian any benefit.

Pei Huan carefully stepped over the evenly smeared meat sauce at her feet, strode up to the man, and sized him up a few times.

"Who is he? From the Lotus Life Sect?"

The man in the straw hat stared in terror at the black-haired girl outside the transparent, flowing water cage beside him, as if she were some kind of terrifying monster.

Of course, for him, it might be even more terrifying than a monster.

"Sent by the government," Bai Qian replied casually.

The man's expression turned even more terrified as he looked at Bai Qian.

I don't know how Bai Qian found out.

"The government?" Pei Huan was taken aback.

"That can't be right." She was a little puzzled, as she shouldn't have offended the government.

It would be strange if the government took action against them.

"Pretend to be a member of the Lotus Life Sect," Bai Qian said, glancing at the man in the bamboo hat.

"We must provoke conflict between them and the Lotus Life Cult."

The man in the straw hat looked rather grim; how did the other party know so much?

Upon hearing this, Pei Huan glanced at the man in the bamboo hat, pinched her fair chin, and thought that although she didn't quite understand what the government was thinking, upon closer examination, it might be more reasonable.

As for the government, although their voice is relatively low, they are still the legitimate rulers of Changcheng Prefecture, so they are generally not the first to be considered when something bad happens.

But given the current state of the government, they might actually be capable of doing such a thing?

“Right now, the government is the one with the most tense relationship with the Lotus Life Sect in the entire Changcheng Prefecture.” Pei Huan suddenly remembered this.

As for the reason, it is because the Lotus Life Sect is actually doing things that are similar to rebellion, and even wants to overthrow the rule of Liang Kingdom and establish the Lotus Kingdom on Earth.

This is also because the Liansheng Sect's influence is not in Changcheng Prefecture. The government cannot tolerate the Liansheng Sect's ideology and has previously organized forces to besiege and suppress the Liansheng Sect several times.

Of course, things ended rather anticlimactically in the end.

Bai Qian ate the last chestnut in the bag and glanced at the man in the straw hat.

"We'll just have to go over and ask about the specifics."

Do what you want to do without so many second thoughts. When faced with a fist, why have so many doubts? Being a riddle-maker is a disease; one punch will cure it.

"Now?" Pei Huan blinked.

"Ah."

The man in the brocade robe paced back and forth, while the old man with a goatee next to him, who was fanning himself with a fan, simply sighed when he saw the man's behavior.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Just wait for their news."

Upon hearing this, the man in the brocade robe stopped in his tracks, his face showing visible anxiety.

"How could I not be anxious? It's not easy to find an opportunity like this."

"These merchants in the city are all driven by profit. Even though the Lotus Sect is in such a state, they still stand in the middle, neither helping the other, and even secretly provide assistance to the Lotus Sect."

"If we don't find a solution soon, once the Lotus Sect gains power, Changcheng Mansion will definitely be breached by those demons."

"The Pei family is just the beginning. Let them side with me, and then slowly get other merchants and aristocratic families to join me, so that we can unite our forces to fight against the Lotus Sect."

I think it's difficult.

"As long as everything goes smoothly..." The man in the brocade robe said with some anticipation.

The next second, the door collapsed with a crash.

The man in the brocade robe stopped speaking abruptly and looked towards the door.

The guards who were supposed to be protecting the door were lying sprawled on the ground.

The sturdy gate looked as if it had been kicked down. It was specially cast and so solid that it was comparable to a city gate. The perpetrator simply withdrew his foot.

The girl in white walked into the courtyard, followed cautiously by Pei Huan, who was now feeling somewhat guilty.

Upon hearing Bai Qian's suggestion, she naturally agreed without hesitation.

After all, according to her underlying procedures, she would unconditionally support any suggestions made by Master Qian, regardless of whether it meant going through fire or water.

It wasn't until she saw Bai Qian walk to the prefect's house, knock out all the guards with a single blow, and then kick down the massive iron gate that must have been at least three or four meters high and impossible for dozens of people to push open, that she realized what they were doing.

According to normal thinking, shouldn't they be considered to have rebelled?
