The sickly girl is killing her way through the weird world

The water ghost's skin and skull were crushed by slender white fingers. Then, the ugly head shattered like a watermelon, cracking inch by inch under that palm, with fragments falling one after another into the clear river.

White and red splattered on the water ghost's corpse.

The headless corpse sank into the water, leaving behind a mixture of blood and white debris floating on the surface of the river.

Bai Qian then turned around.

I'm thinking about whether I should ask some more people about this.

Turning my head, I saw a girl in coarse cloth clothes carrying a wooden bucket not far away.

She was holding a wooden bucket, and her pretty face still had some grime on it.

He was staring blankly in this direction when he noticed Bai Qian looking over and the bloodstains on his clothes. The wooden bucket he was holding wobbled and fell to the ground.

Then, ignoring the fallen barrel, he hurriedly turned around and ran away.

After running a couple of steps, he saw the black-haired girl slowly turn around in front of him. Her cold, indifferent black eyes were fixed on him, and her beautiful profile was adorned with a touch of bright red.

It’s over.

The girl in coarse cloth had only this thought in her mind.

Volume 1: Chapter 183, The Fox Demon Beauty Bai Qian (?) (Fourth Update)

Xi felt that she had been having a lot of bad luck lately.

First, her grandmother, who had raised her for over ten years, passed away these past few days. Then, she was chosen by a group of people in the village to be a "river maiden," and now she's encountered this kind of situation.

She could accept the passing of her grandmother, after all, the grandmother was already very old, and living at that age would be a suffering. Moreover, most importantly, she was smiling when she left this world.

But she was chosen by the village to be a river maiden...

They are called river maidens, chosen by the river god, but in reality, everyone knows they are first offered as sacrifices to the river god.

Xi was well aware of this, but she couldn't resist it.

She had lived in Cheng Village since she was a child and was completely unfamiliar with the outside world. Even if she wanted to escape Cheng Village, she didn't know where to start.

Moreover, since there were some signs or premonitions about this before, and I grew up in this village, this is also my responsibility.

It's nothing more than going into the river and drowning.

That's what I was thinking, but I was definitely a little reluctant.

However, there was still some time before the sacrifice. She didn't want to escape, but she felt that she should just enjoy the remaining days she had left to live.

Although life became difficult after my grandmother passed away, and I often couldn't get enough to eat, I was still alive.

Then, when I was fetching water, I saw this scene.

I don't know who this person is, but I did see the scene of him crushing that monster to death with one hand.

Anyone would be scared, but as soon as he turned around, he saw this woman, who looked like a ghost, standing behind him.

He instinctively collapsed to the ground.

She didn't even dare to look at the person in front of her, even though this person was as beautiful as a female ghost.

I had heard the village elders mention before that some fox spirits could transform into beautiful women. I didn't really understand what that meant before, but now I have a better idea of ​​what those beauties looked like.

However, a beautiful woman transformed from a fox spirit shouldn't be so indifferent, right?

The old folks in the village say that the beautiful women who are actually fox spirits are very warm and friendly, so they can't be fox spirits, right?

Or is it really a female ghost?

Xi kept her head down, still thinking about all sorts of random things.

Although I was a little scared, I just couldn't stop my wandering thoughts.

Bai Qian stood in front of the stream, her eyebrows furrowed as she looked at it.

What kind of nonsense is this person thinking?

The premise of mind reading is that the other person is thinking about what they need. But if the other person is thinking about some inexplicable things, it is indeed impossible to read out useful information, just like in the current situation.

"Name?" Bai Qian asked.

Xi, with her head down, seemed not to hear, lost in her own thoughts.

I've already thought of the fox demon as a princess of a fallen kingdom.

"name."

There was still no response.

Bai Qian then squatted down, pinched the other person's chin, and forced her to look into her eyes.

"name?"

Xi was perhaps jolted awake by Bai Qian's slightly cold fingers, or perhaps she was snapping out of her reverie.

"Xi," she answered softly, but still dared not meet those beautiful yet chilling eyes.

"here it is?"

"Cheng Village." Although her mind was still filled with all sorts of random thoughts, she was finally able to hear Bai Qian's question.

"The Cheng River is right next door? What about Changcheng Mansion?"

"The river next to us... should be called Cheng River, but everyone in the village usually calls it River Goddess. As for Changcheng Mansion... I've never heard of it." He answered honestly, looking carefully at Bai Qian in front of him.

It was only then that I realized that the incredibly handsome person opposite me wasn't very tall either.

If you compare them, they might even be a little shorter than yourself?

I'm already short enough; there's no one shorter than me in the whole village except for the children.

From this perspective...

Xi stopped thinking about it. She noticed that Bai Qian's gaze was growing colder as she looked at her.

"What about the Lotus Birth Sect?" Bai Qian then asked.

"never heard of that."

Bai Qian frowned slightly upon hearing this, and looking at the stream in front of her, she had some ideas.

What year and month is it now?

Xi blinked upon hearing this and pondered for a moment.

"I'm not sure, maybe the older folks in the village know?" she replied uncertainly.

Bai Qian shook her head.

"Never mind, let's not worry about this for now." He realized that asking the question would be pointless.

She knew very little about what was happening in Liang. Not to mention identifying the time by the dynasty name, she didn't even know the name of the current emperor, let alone identify it.

Anyway, it's enough to know that it's definitely not that time in reality.

Bai Qian released her grip on Xi's chin and stood up.

Xi breathed a slight sigh of relief, watching Bai Qian withdraw her hand, roll up her sleeves, and hide that slender, long hand.

She was a little scared, afraid that her head would shatter like that monster.

Fortunately, this person doesn't seem to have that idea yet.

“Take me to your village,” Bai Qian continued.

"Mmm." Xi didn't object, obediently stood up, dusted herself off, and carefully glanced at the delicate face of the girl in front of her.

I walked around her in one direction.

Bai Qian followed behind Xi.

"Is there a river god in the river?" Xi walked ahead and heard a clear voice behind him.

"Yes, there is one. I heard from the elders that it has existed for decades. The village holds a sacrifice for it every few years for peace and tranquility."

"Most of the time it's pigs and sheep and the like."

"Is there anyone else?" A faint voice came from behind.

Xi paused for a moment, then said in a nonchalant tone, "That's rare, but it does happen."

What does the river god look like?

"I'm not sure, I haven't heard any of the older folks in the village mention this," Xi shook her head.

"Maybe only the village chief and the river god have seen it?" she replied uncertainly.

The two walked and talked, and soon arrived at the entrance of a village.

The village wasn't very big, but it was full of life. Smoke rose from one rooftop after another from the tiled houses, and vines still hung on the moss-covered walls. Two men stood at the entrance of the village.

When the man saw the two people approaching, his first glance fell on Bai Qian, and a look of doubt appeared on his face. This was the kind of doubt that would arise after seeing unfamiliar faces. However, after glancing at Xi in front of Bai Qian, he only gave the two of them a deep look and did not come over to say anything.

The men turned and left, and Xi stopped at the village entrance.

"Shall I take you to see the village chief?" she asked cautiously.

Bai Qian glanced at the village and narrowed her eyes.

"No need," he shook his head.

"So what do you want?" Xi blinked and asked.

"Go back to your home first."

Bai Qian thought for a moment before answering, then paused.

"Do you have any food at home?" he asked.

"...Yes." Xi nodded after a slight hesitation.

He carefully examined the petite figure in front of him once more.

There is some, but not much; it's barely enough.

But this person doesn't seem to eat much, right?

---

This is the fourth update. I'll adjust my schedule tomorrow and try to update during the day. There will be five updates tomorrow QAQ

?

Volume 1: 184. Why kill in person?

Xi rested her head on her hand, her little mouth open as she gazed at the scene inside the room.

Her little face scrunched up, looking somewhat troubled, but more like incredulous.

After all, the scene at this moment... is somewhat hesitant and even terrifying.

Although her family didn't have much food, it was enough for her to eat for a while. After all, the village's food was stored according to time, usually on a cycle of one or two months. If there wasn't enough food, they would go out to buy it.

After all, Cheng Village doesn't grow grain; the only thing they can sell for money is the fish caught from the Cheng River, but these fish don't actually sell for much.

After all, if you can fish in Cheng Village, you can fish in other villages near the riverbank as well.

Since it doesn't have any unique advantages, it naturally won't sell for much money.

Besides, Xi isn't very good at fishing.

No, now is not the time to think about this.

Watching Bai Qian eat the last bit of bread in her house, Xi felt a little like crying.

That's enough for you to eat for more than ten days, and you finished it all in less than half an hour?

The joys and sorrows between people cannot be generalized; Xi only felt numb.

After all, if the food here is all eaten up, we'll most likely be going hungry for the next few days.

As for hoping that others will share some of their food?

That's not very realistic. Food is usually a bit scarce for everyone, and besides, I don't have a very good relationship with them.

Although she felt like crying but had no tears, Xi didn't dare to express any dissatisfaction or objection, as this person was not someone she could oppose.
