The sickly girl is killing her way through the weird world

“She’ll be coming tomorrow, and we’ll be going out of town together,” Bai Qian added.

Tomorrow, Pei Huan and I will go out of the city to find someone named Tong Hui.

The main purpose is to break through to the method of opening the meridians. There are still more than a hundred years of lifespan left for the demon. After obtaining this method, perhaps it will be possible to try to break through the bottleneck of the martial arts.

Bai Yao's eyes sharpened instantly, just as she was about to advise Bai Qian not to be deceived by the wicked woman.

"Want to come along?" Qinghong's eyes were as clear as a mirror.

"I'll go," he answered without hesitation.

Although Bai Yao answered in this way, it was indeed somewhat dangerous to go outside the city at this time. Just as she was about to ask more about the background of this man surnamed Pei,

Startled, she saw a golden light reflected in those clear eyes.

Light and sacred, it takes your breath away the moment you see it, as if you want to immerse yourself in it and lose the ability to speak.

Bai Qian distributed the strange lifespan she had just obtained while eating ribs. After all, since she knew that this thing was very effective against strange creatures, there was no reason to leave it unused.

[In the sixth year, because you consistently dealt with the filth along the riverbank and ensured the safety of the villagers, their faith in you grew even stronger.]

In the eighth year, the filth lurking in the river, perhaps having reached its limit of tolerance for your continued protection of the villagers, gathered some eerie creatures wandering around and launched a coordinated attack on you at night.

You annihilated all these strange creatures, but in doing so, you were also severely injured.

After learning of your situation, the surrounding villagers held you in even greater reverence and offered you sacrifices more frequently. They called you the Willow Fairy and even wanted to build a temple for you on their own initiative. Because of the villagers' offerings, your injuries gradually improved.

[In the twelfth year, because you cleared away the strange phenomena in the surrounding area, the villagers had much more room to move around and were able to cultivate much more land. The village expanded, and as a token of their gratitude, they built a temple for you called the Willow Immortal Temple.]

[In the eighteenth year, you protected the surrounding villages, allowing them to grow stronger. Their populations increased, and your offerings accumulated steadily. You fulfilled your responsibilities as a deity, until one day, you discovered that strange occurrences were inexplicably increasing around you.]

In the twenty-third year, the villagers inexplicably began to reject you. They smashed your temple, severely damaging your incense offerings. But despite the significant loss of your offerings, you became much more enlightened. You realized that you were greatly influenced by the incense offerings, and were even on the verge of losing your true self, becoming a wish-granting machine that responded to people's desires.

In the twenty-fourth year, you discover that the villagers are behaving strangely towards you because a mysterious entity has taken control of them and desires their offerings.

[Because you discovered that incense affected your mind, you no longer craved it. Only then did you realize that if the supernatural wanted to ascend, there were only two paths.]

One path is to devour other bizarre entities, constantly enhancing one's own bizarre and unpredictable nature; the other is to accumulate merit and become a deity.

You must choose between these two paths: the unorthodox or the divine.

[You chose either.]

Volume 1: 40. It would be great if all the demons were dead.

[You are not presented with two choices, but rather, in a sense, you have more than just these two options. Becoming a monster and becoming a god are two completely different choices, but that doesn't mean you can only choose these two.]

[You chose to have it all, retaining your eerie nature while continuing to absorb the incense offerings the villagers make to you.]

This is no easy task. The eerie aura and incense smoke possessed by the supernatural are two completely different powers, even contradictory. Choosing to have both means you must maintain a unique balance between them.

In the twenty-fifth year, you discovered the anomaly controlling the villagers, devoured it, and then, taking advantage of this opportunity, consumed all the anomalies around you, reaching an unprecedented level as the essence of the anomaly.

[In the twenty-eighth year, after your reorganization, the village regained its faith in you, and their faith in you became more devout than ever before. For what is now in the temple is not a god, but a demon. Not only the village, but all the villages within dozens of miles revered you as a god. They built temples for you, and you became the local earth god, or perhaps you could call him the city god.]

[In your thirtieth year, you find no strange creatures to devour, and as the Earth God, you have no way to leave. You are trapped in a stalemate, even though you know that with the accumulation of years, you should have the opportunity to try to break through again. But restless delusions are gradually arising in your heart.]

[In the thirty-first year, you discovered that the incense offerings were gradually eroding your essence as an eerie being. While the growth of your eerie essence could resist the corruption of the incense offerings, when one side is weaker, the weaker side will inevitably be affected. You realized that if you didn't find a solution to this situation, this path would be absolutely impassable.]

In the thirty-ninth year, you overturned the temple, smashed the altar, shattered the golden statue, and burned all the incense offerings accumulated over the years, turning them into resources for your spiritual elevation. If the incense offerings corrupt the mind and turn people into puppets of faith, then so be it.

The terrifying incense instantly allowed you to overcome the barrier that had been holding you back; although your delusions remained, you still crossed that threshold.

[In a single day, you transformed into a terrifying monster. People still call you Lady Willow Fairy, but besides that title, because of your methods of devouring incense offerings, they also call you a calamity god.]

[Gained the incarnation of [Earth Goddess Willow Fairy], and the incarnation of [Calamity Willow Fairy].]

Bai Qian snapped out of her daze, feeling somewhat disoriented. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she thought she saw a figure.

Her jet-black hair stretched as far as the eye could see, enveloping the entire city. Her icy white face carried a hint of madness. Chilling mist swirled around her, and then, one after another, willow branches like giant trees rose from the ground, as if to signify the end.

With her vision returning to normal, Bai Qian paused for a moment, shook her head, and focused her attention on the gains. The strange lifespan of forty years that she had just thrown in had yielded considerable rewards. [Earth Goddess Willow Fairy] and [Calamity Willow Fairy] seemed to be two different abilities?

They represent the self before and the self after the pedestal was overthrown.

Does this correspond to God and Deception?

However... Bai Qian glanced at the consumption of these two items.

That's a bit of an exaggeration. The Earth God didn't specify the exact amount of life force consumed, but according to the panel, the amount of power one can use is directly proportional to the amount of strange lifespan consumed.

As for the other one...

[The Calamity of the Willow Fairy: Her power is used at the cost of thirty years of her bizarre lifespan and a large amount of incense offerings.]

It requires at least thirty years of bizarre lifespan, plus this so-called incense offering. After Bai Qian finished her calculations, she only had eleven years of bizarre lifespan left, which was definitely not enough to support this thing.

He glanced at the thing for a moment, then turned his gaze away.

Forget about it for now. If we're lacking in strange lifespan, we'll see if there's a way to obtain it later.

There should be quite a few Bai Feng people in the Huang family's area; we can find an opportunity to pay them a visit later.

Bai Qian hesitated for a moment, but still spent a year of her bizarre lifespan to try out [Earth Goddess Willow Fairy]. She wanted to see how this one differed from the previous Willow Fairy before making a decision.

A faint golden arc flashed in his jet-black eyes.

Bai Yao gently shook her head and looked at Bai Qian opposite her, but she couldn't find the holy golden light she had just seen. Perhaps it was just her illusion.

"I've looked at the meat you brought, and it seems it's inedible," she said, taking a sip of soup.

The meat they were talking about was naturally fox meat, and half of it was brought back by Bai Qian.

Bai Qian didn't refute Bai Yao's words, after all, she had tasted them herself and they were very unpalatable.

"Is the carpenter moving?" Bai Qian asked.

Bai Yao was stunned when she heard this. She glanced in the direction of the carpenter's house, but couldn't see anything through the wall.

"I don't know, maybe they feel it's not safe here?" Bai Yao shook her head and didn't ask Bai Qian where she knew that.

"What are you going to Liangdu for?" Bai Qian continued to ask.

When Bai Yao heard Bai Qian's question, her hands holding the bowl trembled slightly.

She looked up at Bai Qian, then silently lowered her gaze again.

"There are some things to do." This was not a denial.

Bai Qian looked intently at Bai Yao's beautiful face.

"Then I'll go with you?"

"No." Bai Yao refused without hesitation.

Seeing that Bai Qian wanted to say something, Bai Yao hurriedly stood up.

"I'll go tidy up the yard. After the heavy rain, a lot of things in the yard were a mess and need to be cleaned up."

Bai Qian was left sitting at the table, gently biting her chopsticks twice with her teeth.

Watching Bai Yao leave the room, Bai Qian gently shook her head.

It doesn't seem to be of much use.

It should be useful in theory, but I don't know how to use it.

Even knowing what others are thinking doesn't feel any different from not knowing.

Bai Qian didn't like thinking about these messy things or considering what others were thinking; it was too complicated for her, who spent most of her time in the hospital.

Her world is small, and it can hold very little. Caring about or thinking about what others are thinking is meaningless to her.

Some very simple things can still be done, such as killing demons. It's very simple; you just need to pick up a stick and smash it down. You don't need to care about how the demons feel, what they are thinking, or what they are pondering. It has nothing to do with you, since you won't listen anyway.

Either you die, or they die; it's a very simple truth.

As for why killing demons became a goal, perhaps it was because killing demons would make her stronger? Bai Qian still liked this feeling. In her previous life, she was trapped in that cold room, her weak body unable to do anything. Now, being able to move freely like this, she was already very satisfied.

Bai Qian has no ambitions now, and she can't understand what Bai Yao is afraid of.

But upon closer reflection, the only things we fear in this world are demons and monsters.

The root of everything lies with demons.

All that's needed is for all the demons to die.

Volume 1: 41. Fear

Bai Yao frowned as she looked at the smiling girl in front of her.

I saw this person as soon as I opened the door early in the morning.

Waiting for me at the door, with a cartload of...goods?

Who is this person?

Bai Yao had seen that kind of exaggerated smile quite often. She used to see it frequently when she was in Liangdu. After all, as a direct descendant of the Bai family, there were always people trying to curry favor with her.

But in today's context...

As the saying goes, those who offer unsolicited favors are either up to no good or are thieves.

When Pei Huan saw Bai Yao open the door, he also carefully sized her up.

Her beautiful face carried a hint of aloofness, but Pei Huan could clearly sense the scholarly air emanating from Bai Yao, an aura that only a prestigious family could cultivate.

This made Pei Huan even more respectful. It was no wonder that she was Master Qian's sister; just by looking at her demeanor, one could tell that she was absolutely extraordinary.

I'm thinking about what to call Bai Yao.

"Master?" he called out cautiously, only to be met with a cold glare from Bai Yao, who then turned to close the door.

Seeing this, Pei Huan quickly reached out to stop Bai Yao's actions.

“Master, Master,” she pleaded.

Bai Yao paused her grip on the door for a moment, not because Pei Huan's address had any effect, but because she felt that this person had something wrong with her brain. However, if she closed the door directly, it would trap Pei Huan's hand and hurt her.

"Miss Bai?" Pei Huan was good at reading people's expressions and knew that Bai Yao probably didn't like those two honorific titles, so he changed to a more ordinary one.

"What's wrong?" Bai Yao asked, frowning slightly.

To be honest, she really can't trust strangers. It was fine before, but the things that have happened in the last few days have made her wary.

"Miss Bai, I'm a friend of Master Qian. Before, I was with her..." Pei Huan's words were cut off when the door was slammed shut, leaving her standing there stunned for a moment.

Just as I was about to knock on the door twice to express my protest...

"Xiaoqian is still sleeping." After hearing Bai Yao's words, she obediently withdrew her hand.

They were standing at the door.

---

"What's wrong?" Bai Qian asked, taking a bite of her dumpling.

Bai Yao walked into the house, shook her head, and said, "A strange person came outside, claiming to be your friend." She didn't hide it from Bai Qian.

"Oh." Bai Qian stuffed the dumpling into her mouth, puffed out her cheeks, and said nothing.

Her mind wasn't on that; she was just thinking about how to allocate the lifespan of the demons.

Hearing the sound of something hitting the ground, he tilted his head and glanced at it.

Pei Huan jumped down from the earthen wall, but because he didn't land properly, he landed face-first and rolled twice on the ground.

The girl wasn't afraid of pain. After getting up from the ground, she casually dusted herself off and, seeing Bai Qian sitting in the house eating, happily raised her hand and waved to her.

"Master."

"You know her?" Bai Yao glanced at Pei Huan.

"The person who gave me the sword." Bai Qian nodded.

"Don't get too close to her, her silliness is contagious."

"Oh." Bai Qian watched Pei Huan run into the house, and Bai Yao didn't stop her anymore.

Whether the girl is faking it or not, she doesn't seem to have any ill intentions. Besides, she's a friend of Bai Qian, so there's no need for Bai Qian to stop her.

Her attitude was just a little too respectful. While it's fine to use the title "Master" to address someone you respect, using it on Xiao Qian... doesn't it sound a bit too old-fashioned?
