Although the little apprentice sister is weak, she can fight

Hearing Shen Qiao agree so easily, the man smiled happily and hurriedly walked in front to lead the two of them.

After entering the village, Shen Qiao paid close attention. She could feel many eyes focused on her. This was not just curiosity, but more of hostility.

Interesting sentiment. It seemed as if these people had already considered them dead the moment they stepped into the village.

"Xiaobao!"

After the exclamation, a seemingly young child suddenly rushed out from the alley and bumped into Shen Qiao's leg.

It wasn't a collision, it was a direct pounce. Shen Qiao tried to use quite a bit of force, as if he was going to knock her down. This was definitely not the strength a three or four year old should have.

She held the child's hand, pried it off her leg without hesitation, and held it in place. "Little friend, what's wrong with you?"

The girl's fingers were still pinching Shen Qiao's hand tightly, preventing her from pulling it back. Her eyes were fixed on her, "I'm hungry."

"Are you hungry?" She glanced at the man leading the group in front of her and saw that the man was looking at the situation here nervously, but he was just looking and had no intention of coming up to help.

Shen Qiao smiled and said meaningfully, "Do you want to eat your sister?"

The child's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his hands gripped Shen Qiao's even deeper. He nodded quickly as if he was afraid she would run away, "I want to..."

"I'm sorry! My child is ignorant! I'm going to take him home and give him a good beating!" After that, no matter how hard the child grabbed Shen Qiao, the child's mother simply pulled him away and trotted away without looking back.

"Well..." The man watched the woman take the child away and then made an excuse with a fake smile on his face.

"Sorry, girl, her family is scolding the child! The child always wants to eat before the time. This habit is bad and needs to be changed!"

Shen Qiao glanced at the red and swollen marks on the back of his hand. "This kid is really strong."

"what......"

The man tensed up again, standing there frozen in place, both hands on the hoe resting on his shoulders. Meanwhile, the villagers who had been watching also grew noticeably more tense, some even pretending to approach unintentionally.

The atmosphere suddenly changed, and it seemed that it was only a matter of time before it completely exploded. At the critical moment, Shen Qiao smiled indifferently again.

"It's okay. Children don't listen and they deserve to be beaten."

The sense of crisis suddenly dissipated a little.

The man put down one hand, a smile on his face again, "Yes, yes... well, let's keep going, we're almost there."

She followed him as if nothing had happened, casually plucking a leaf from a roadside pepper tree and chatting, "I remember that your area seems to be under the supervision of Emperor Wenzong. Why haven't we seen any patrolling monks on the way here?"

"Ah? Oh! Are you talking about that? Well, they haven't been involved in the matter for a long time." The man was a little distracted at first, but when he heard Shen Qiao ask him this, there seemed to be a flash of gloom in his originally nervous expression.

"It's been quite a while! They are great immortals, how could they have the time to care about us small farmers?"

Shen Qiao noticed his mood and asked again, "You don't even care about the garrison nearby?"

The man smiled awkwardly. "It's not that I don't care at all. People used to come and ask questions from time to time, but it's only in the past few years that I haven't seen the immortals for a long time. It can't be helped. The location is not good, and who wants to go through the trouble of running back and forth? It's nothing serious, so there's no need to bother them."

Shen Qiao rubbed the Sichuan pepper leaves between his fingers thoughtfully, watching as the leaves showed signs of turning black after just a few rubs.

She looked at the leaf and sneered, "Yeah, if they get involved, it will be hard for you to do anything."

After hearing this, Wang You lowered his eyes and glanced at her.

The man was trying to maintain a smile, but when he heard Shen Qiao's words, his smile froze again, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly.

"I remember that everyone who could move in this area seemed to have moved away, right?" Shen Qiao still looked at him with a smile.

"Why don't you leave?"

The man seemed to be completely stuck, unable to react to her changing emotions, and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"Oh, I forgot. It shouldn't be 'Why don't you leave'."

After he finished speaking, the man suddenly shook all over without any warning.

Time was quiet for a moment, and he raised his hand in a daze to touch his neck, but his hand was covered with brown pus.

"But you shouldn't have come at all."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man who had been standing suddenly fell to his knees with a thud, his head instantly separated from his neck and rolled to the ground. A strong fishy smell instantly "exploded" in the air, like a dead fish that had been suffocated and smelled.

"what!!"

Someone in the crowd screamed first, and then the villagers became agitated, like wasps that had been poked with a stick. They picked up everything they could pick up and quickly surrounded the man and started fighting.

"We can't let them get away! Kill them and eat their meat!"

“Eat meat! Eat meat!!”

Shen Qiao stood still, watching the group of "villagers" rushing towards her indifferently. Just as the nearest one was about to bring down his stick, a powerful spiritual power instantly spread out, cutting everyone in the range in half.

"Meat......"

The one closest to Shen Qiao was still struggling to reach out his hand, but after moving his fingers tremblingly, his hand dropped down and became completely silent.

The ground was littered with chopped-off corpses, and the indescribable smell was nauseating.

"One more to go..." Shen Qiao muttered to himself, turned his head to look at the alley where the child had just run out, turned around and walked straight over.

Wang You followed calmly, and it seemed that he really did not interfere with Shen Qiao's decision at all, just as he said.

As soon as he entered the alley, Shen Qiao saw the woman kneeling on the ground. Her head had long been lost, but she seemed to be holding something tightly in her arms.

"Come out." Shen Qiao narrowed his eyes, and a hint of water-blue light appeared between his fingers.

Suddenly, the thing in the woman's arms moved, and a black shadow suddenly rushed out, leaping into the air without any support and rushing straight towards her.

Shen Qiao stretched out his hand without raising his head and accurately grabbed the thing's neck.

"Let me go! I want to eat meat! I want to eat meat!!"

Snapped--

A piece of talisman paper was pasted on the struggling black shadow, and the black color faded away instantly. It was the little girl who had pounced on Shen Qiao before, but the whites of her eyes were gone, and even her teeth had become sharp and long.

The hand gripping his neck gradually tightened its grip, and Shen Qiao spoke slowly, "My patience is limited. Tell me, where did you take the natives here?"
