The sickly girl is killing her way through the weird world

But compared to Bai Fengcheng, it's still much better, after all, there are more people and they also have divine protection.

Sects like the Lotus Sect and the Green Wave Gang, although they are engaged in open and covert struggles, are still better than Bai Fengcheng.

The government still has some power and is able to maintain order.

Of course, if Bai Qian and I go back to Changcheng Mansion later, the situation there will probably change.

The current priority is to figure out how to satisfy Bai Qian and the other woman. They follow me because they trust me, so I need to carefully consider what to do.

"At the current speed, we should arrive in the county town the day after tomorrow," Zhao Lin, who was also riding a horse beside her, said to Pei Huan, who seemed a little distracted.

Pei Huan nodded.

The main reason she was so distracted was that she was thinking about how to arrange things for Bai Qian and the other person after they returned to the county town.

According to them, it seems they will settle in the county town later. In that case, their usefulness will be apparent. Before, in Bai Feng City, it seems they were really useless, and it was Bai Qian who saved them.

"It looks like we'll need to find a place to rest along the way. I don't recall there being any villages or towns along this route, right?" Pei Huan said, glancing at the distance.

"We need to take a look. In this kind of year, many villages have already been abandoned. It would be good to find a temple or something similar," Zhao Lin said. Normally, he would be secretly on guard against ghosts and demons that might appear at any time.

A normal person would be afraid if they encountered a demon, but if it were a caravan, they wouldn't be so afraid. They always have some tricks up their sleeves, otherwise the caravan wouldn't need to operate.

"Ah."

Turning his head to look at the caravan, he saw that it was more bulky than he had expected. Although at the beginning, Pei Huan had only planned to bring Bai Qian and the others, plus the rest of the caravan, when the caravan actually left the city, it was not just the original number of people.

Some people who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to leave Baifeng City also followed along, which made the caravan unexpectedly large. However, Pei Huan didn't have a good solution to this situation, since he couldn't just drive them away directly.

Chambers of commerce still need some reputation.

"Let's take stock of the convoy's food supplies later and see if it's enough. If it is, we can share some with the people at the back," Pei Huan said after thinking for a moment.

"I've counted it, and it's about twice the amount," Zhao Lin nodded in reply.

"Okay, then you can make the arrangements later." Pei Huan turned her gaze forward, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on her slightly chubby face.

A figure could be clearly seen not far ahead.

Or rather, they were part of the same racing team as them.

These convoys were stuck in traffic and unable to move forward.

"I'll go take a look ahead." Zhao Lin had also noticed this scene.

Pei Huan had a slightly bad feeling. Seeing Zhao Lin riding his horse closer, she turned around and told the caravan to stop.

She had just turned around when she saw Bai Qian suddenly standing behind her.

"What happened over there?" Bai Qian also looked at the approaching convoy ahead.

She already knew what it was about, because of her [observation] ability, she could now know many things even if she wasn't physically present.

Inside the carriage, she kept reading... For Bai Qian, it was a little unbearable to read some messy, incomprehensible text, which looked like scribbles and was annoying.

She now hopes that the panel can have more functions added, even if it costs her more of her demon lifespan.

It's not something like being restless; if it were just spacing out, she could probably spend half a day spacing out without any problem.

However, Bai Yao didn't stop him. If he wanted to get out of the carriage, he did. She just told him to think about what to write in his diary later.

That's simple, just remember to kill all the wolf demons.

The diary entries that followed contained similar content, suggesting that there were likely even more demons and strange occurrences in the county town.

Pei Huan looked at Bai Qian's face. Her fair and delicate cheeks were as translucent as white jade in the sunlight. She had a slightly lazy and confused expression on her face, as if she had never met Master Qian before.

Perhaps they thought she was completely harmless, like a rabbit?

"Uncle Zhao went to check, so he should know soon," Pei Huan replied, not actually too worried.

Whatever worries I had, looking at the person in white beside me, those worries were like drifting clouds, blown away by the wind.

Unlike Bai Yao, Pei Huan genuinely believed that Bai Qian was incredibly powerful, so powerful that perhaps no one in the entire county could rival her.

If immortals truly exist in this world, perhaps this is the only one.

Bai Qian tilted her head, took out a small pastry from the bag in her arms, and nibbled on it. The pastry was filled with meat and served with dried green beans. It actually tasted pretty good.

"I've found out that a group of snake demons are blocking the road and preventing people from passing," Zhao Lin said to the two men after he returned from gathering information.

Bai Qian munched on the pastry without saying a word; she had come out because of this matter.

"A snake demon?" Pei Huan was taken aback for a moment, but then he remembered.

There is indeed a group of snake demons living near Bai Fengcheng, but because they are far from Bai Fengcheng, they are not really noticed.

"They probably noticed Bai Fengcheng's situation, which is why they came here specifically to intercept him?" Zhao Lin replied uncertainly.

"They seem to only rob you of money; you can get away with it by paying money."

"We'll arrive once we're wrapped up," Bai Qian said, her words slightly muffled as she spoke with a pastry in her mouth.

Pei Huan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

After exchanging a few words with Zhao Lin and asking him to settle the caravan, Bai Qian and I headed towards that direction.

As soon as I got closer, I saw a group of people gathered there discussing something.

Pei Huan approached with a smile, just about to ask something when...

Then, in the crowd, stood a man covered in colorful scales. He held a brown whip in his hand, and his cold, golden vertical pupils looked at the people around him. Pei Huan could see the snake-like scales trembling densely, and just looking at them made one feel as if their pores were filled with a chilling aura.

It turned to look at Pei Huan, who felt her whole body freeze and become unable to move, a chilling aura permeating her entire body from head to toe.

The letter was spat out, and it looked at Pei Huan, whose whole body was frozen.

Pei Huan felt his hand being squeezed by something soft, and Bai Qian easily pulled him behind her.

A small, delicate white dress blocked her view. Although Pei Huan could still see the man covered in scales, the chill vanished silently, like snow melting in spring.

My heart was filled with a light yet bright sense of peace that was indescribable.

Volume 1: Chapter 122, Taking This Blow

Bai Qian subtly wiped her fingers, which were covered in oil stains from eating pastries, with Pei Huan's clean sleeve.

She glanced at the snake-scaled man gathered around a group of people, then tucked her fingers to her waist and noticed that the peach blossom branch was left on the carriage and hadn't been brought over.

Only then did I put it down.

It doesn't really matter; it's fine whether you use it or not. For Bai Qian, the reason she uses peach blossom branches is simply because they are more convenient to use and she's not afraid of them getting damaged.

"And who are you two?" Before the snake-scaled man could speak, an old man in the crowd walked over. He was dressed in silk and it was obvious that he was a wealthy merchant, or even someone who had just escaped from Baifeng City.

Pei Huan introduced himself and Bai Qian.

"The Pei Lin Chamber of Commerce, I've heard so much about you." The old man's wrinkled face broke into a smile. This title was still quite useful; Pei Huan was able to be invited by the Lai family because of the Chamber of Commerce.

Even though the government's constables were all killed by the merchant caravan, the government didn't really take any real action. Although they didn't really have much of a real action left, since the county magistrate was being manipulated by demons and died without much reaction.

"Let me introduce you two. This is Lord Fei Yu from the neighboring Caihe Mountain," the old man said, glancing at the snake-scaled man with a fawning expression.

However, the snake-scaled man was not interested in his attempts to please him.

"Stop with the nonsense. If you want to get through here today, you'll have to pay up." The snake-scaled man impatiently interrupted the old man, his snake-like eyes glaring menacingly at the group.

"Thirty taels of silver per person. If you can't pay, then stay here," it said impatiently.

Bai Qian touched the bag in her arms and put it away after she realized that the pastries were all gone.

Pei Huan, standing behind him, frowned slightly.

Thirty taels of silver per person? This person is really daring. An ordinary family's annual food ration is only three taels of silver.

"Isn't this a bit too much?" a middle-aged man next to him asked with a troubled expression.

The snake-scaled man glanced at him upon hearing this.

The next moment, a whip lashed out.

The middle-aged man let out a scream and was whipped to the ground.

"If you ask me, stop talking nonsense and hurry up and raise the money. If you can't raise the money, then leave the person behind." After saying this, the snake-scaled man turned his gaze to Bai Qian, a hint of amusement in his snake eyes.

This girl is really bold; she's not afraid of me at all.

He raised his gaze and naturally saw the convoy behind the two.

There were quite a lot of people.

“You are in the same boat. Thirty taels each. You have two hours to raise the money.”

"If you don't have money, then keep the person here."

"Don't even think about running away. If you try, you'll all stay here. Not a single one of you will escape."

Bai Qian glanced at the snake-scaled man, then looked around.

Indeed, as it said, many demons are lurking in this area, and they should all be snake demons.

Its aura wasn't strong, not even as strong as the wolf demon from that mountain.

The snake-scaled man looked around before turning his gaze back to Bai Qian and the other man, giving Bai Qian a particularly focused look.

The others around them were clearly at a loss, unsure of what to do.

Thirty taels per person? Some wealthy merchants might be able to afford it, but most of the people present were clearly not the kind of people who could easily produce such a sum of money.

"Master Qian?" Pei Huan asked softly, looking at Bai Qian in front of him.

Naturally, the question was what Bai Qian should do next. To be honest, she could actually afford the thirty taels of silver, but the person in front of her clearly didn't seem like someone willing to pay that much.

Bai Qian didn't answer her; instead, she just stared at the snake-scaled man opposite her.

The snake-scaled man frowned as he felt Bai Qian's gaze, puzzled by it.

Seeing the hesitant crowd, it let out a soft hum, as if it needed a warning. If you don't know pain, you won't know fear.

He raised the whip in his hand.

He took a step forward and lashed the whip in his hand toward Bai Qian.

As it lashed out, the whip crawled through the air like a snake, stretching several times its original length as it lashed out at Bai Qian, creating a thunderous sound.

When the people around saw the snake-scaled man swing his long whip, they all panicked and dodged in a panic.

Pei Huan wasn't flustered, but seeing that Bai Qian hadn't reacted, he still gave her a reminder.

"Master Qian," he called out.

Perhaps it was a reminder to Bai Qian, or perhaps it was because the long whip had already reached her.

Bai Qian stretched out her delicate, lotus-root-like hand, easily pinching the brown, snake-like whip between her fingers.

The snake-scaled man was stunned when he saw this, and then tugged at his whip with a hint of disbelief.

Not moving.

Instead, Bai Qian grabbed the snake-scaled man and pulled him forcefully.

A terrifying force came from the whip, and the snake-scaled man was involuntarily thrown over.

Without any response, it rolled on the ground and lay down less than a foot away from Bai Qian.

what happened?

It was even a little dazed.

However, the girl in white obviously didn't care about its thoughts. She walked up to it, squatted down, and poked the snake scales on its face with her slender white fingers. The smooth snake scales were a little sticky.

He picked off a scale from its body, examined it, and finding nothing special, threw it on the ground and wiped his hands with his clothes.

I placed my fingers back on its forehead, just about to press down.

"Hold your hand." The man's slightly rough voice came from behind.

Bai Qian placed her slender, pale fingers on the snake demon's forehead, but she didn't actually touch it.

Or rather, this is exactly what we've been waiting for.

Turning around to look in the direction the voice came from, I saw a monk wearing a red robe and carrying a string of red sandalwood prayer beads with intricate patterns carved on them, but his face was not very kind.

Bai Qian had noticed the monk earlier; he was standing in that group of people.

“Please hold your hand, benefactor. I think this snake demon, although it is robbing and plundering, has not committed any murders and its crime does not warrant death,” the monk said hastily after stepping out of the crowd.
