"Come and see you."
Shen Yi stepped forward with a smile and said softly: "How did Huang Liu suddenly come down the mountain, without even giving me a heads up."
The dog demon stopped its chewing motion, remained silent for a long time, and slightly turned its body to reveal the scene on the bed.
All that could be seen was another slightly weaker dog demon quietly lying on the bed, slowly swallowing a piece of soft internal organs. Underneath it, a palm-sized small dog demon was curled up sucking milk.
"There are many enemies on the mountain, lets come down and avoid them."
"Huang Lao Liu said in a low and depressed tone: Dont mention any rules to me, theres enough food and drink here. Ill stay here for half a year until my son grows up a bit."
Seeing this, Shen Yis eyes were even more joyful: "Congratulations! Mother and son are safe and sound."
As he spoke, he walked over to Huang Lao Lius side and sat down on the bloody bed board without showing any disgust.
Shen Yi reached out and grabbed the dog demons neck: "With such good news, you didnt even give your brother a heads up."
Huang Lao Liu gave him a glance and didnt struggle free: "Dont try to get familiar, today dont even mention its you, the county magistrate has arrived, I wont leave either."
"Dont go, dont go."
Shen Yi smiled and stared at her opponent with bright, clear eyes.
Upon hearing this, a hint of a smile finally appeared on Huang Laosixs face. He looked at the other person again, just as he was about to speak, his pupils suddenly constricted.
All that was seen was the intimate action of the two, and a steel knife had already entered its chest.
"Hah! Hah!"
Hearing a strange noise, Chen Ji suddenly lifted his head and looked over, and immediately felt a shock throughout his body.
Cant believe what Im seeing.
All I saw was Shen Yi embracing Huang Laosan, with a calm expression: "A guest has arrived, how could I drive you away?"
The voice fell, and another knife pierced the dog demons heart, blood splashing on both of their bodies, adding a bit of brightness to the dark red interior.
"You should... always be here... dont go anywhere else." Shen Yis tone became increasingly gentle, her movements increasingly practiced.
Pffft! Pffft! Pffft!
Every sentence is a ruthless slash, turning that robust body into a pulp.
Huang Lao Liu struggled with all his might, but no matter how hard he tried, in front of Shen Yis arm, it was like a clay ox entering the sea, without any reaction.
To others, its as if hes sitting quietly like a good baby, staring blankly as the knife pierces through him.
After a long while, Shen Yi finally loosened his grip and indifferently watched as the dog demon fell to the ground, already dead.
"He lifted his head: You go out first."
Chens body was stiff as wood, and his mind was in a state of utter confusion.
Under the other persons gaze, he suddenly came to his senses, turned around and walked out of the house, glancing back once more before leaving.
Only to see Shen Yi sitting on the edge of the bed, slowly pulling out the steel knife from Huang Lao Lius body, looking sideways at the dog demon on the bed with eyes full of fear, taking out the internal organs from its mouth and whispering: "Sister-in-law, a family should be together, what do you say?"
Chen Ji stumbled under his feet.
He stepped out of the doorway and stood outside, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath.
After a moment, Shen Yi slowly walked out, wiping her slender fingers with a cloth, and said lightly: "Go in, tidy up a bit."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ji opened his eyes and turned to look at the familiar face. The thoughts in his mind were like tangled yarn, eventually forming a dull question: "Why?"
"Whats going on?" Shen Yi raised an eyebrow and looked over with a puzzled expression.
Wow! Wow! Wow!
Chen Jiyins teeth were clenched tightly, his eyes wide with anger.
Of course its why he suddenly took action! Why was he chatting with him a second ago, and the next second he slaughtered that dog demon like a butcher?!
Why are you still wearing that damn smile on your face when youre taking action! Are you resentful or not, how do you view the dead common people, how do you view this group of demons!
In Chen Jis eyes, the other party could actually watch indifferently as their own kind was devoured, and then treat those dogs that called them brothers with equal indifference, including that puppy whose eyes were still closed.
This is completely unreasonable.
Under many doubts, Chen Jiqiang calmed down and asked the most practical question: "Why kill them, arent you afraid of Huang Pizis revenge? Or does Lord Shen already have a better solution?"
"Whats the solution?" Shen Yi furrowed his brow and said calmly, "It doesnt want to leave, and I dont want it to continue eating people. We can only find a compromise that satisfies everyone."
"This... is this also a reason?"
Hearing this, Chen Ji took a deep breath and knew that the other party did not want to talk to him in detail. He simply lowered his head and rushed into the house, starting to clean up the dog demons corpse.
It had been just a few days since they last met, yet he found himself unable to understand this gentleman anymore.
“……”
When there was no one around, Shen Yi stood quietly at the door, finally dropping the rag and revealing his slightly trembling fingers. He lowered his eyes to stare at his palm, clenching his fist with force, forcing his fingertips to calm down.
As a traverser, he saw the dead so clearly for the first time, watching the stinky rotten flesh being torn off in big mouthfuls, and even seeing the meat threads between the dog demons teeth.
Shen Yi really wanted to vomit, and could only rely on continuous stabbing to vent the fear and anger in his heart.
But he also had to control his emotions.
Only by calming down can we hold on to the opportunity until the arrival of the Town Demon Division. If even oneself is afraid, then this vast Baiyun County will not have anyone to pull oneself up.
As for Chen Jis question, Shen Yi had also thought about it, but in the end, he figured out one thing.
Is there another solution? The answer is no.
Abandoning everything and letting it take its course, the villagers will also die. Whether horizontally or vertically, they are dead, an unsolvable situation. Just do your own thing well, why bother looking for trouble.
Rather than using phrases like "the overall situation is more important" or "enduring for a moment brings calm and tranquility" to numb oneself.
Its better to collect more demonic energy and increase your strength. When the next beast stretches out its claws, cut it down with one slash!
……
Shen Yi recalled the demons lifespan, and this time the harvest was quite bountiful.
"Opening Wisdom Canine Demon, Not Yet Entered Initial Realm, Total Lifespan 145 Years, Remaining 59 Years, Absorption Complete"
"Awakened Canine Demon, Not Yet Entered Initial Realm, Total Lifespan 152 Years, Remaining 61 Years, Absorption Complete"
"Unopened Wisdom Canine Demon, total lifespan 80 years, remaining 79 years, absorption complete."
Remaining lifespan of the demon: one hundred and ninety-nine years
Remaining lifespan: 1 year
"He even topped it up for me to make a whole number, adding up to exactly two hundred years."
Shen Yi had not yet decided where to throw the demons life span next.
Continue to practice Fuyao Knife Method, take Zhengyang Knife as the foundation, and explore more information about the initial realm.
Still practicing Yunyue Changquan, lets see if I can get more fist and palm talents.
Just as Shen Yi was lost in thought, Chen Ji had already loaded the demons corpse onto a flatbed cart and led the old donkey over.
"No matter what considerations Mr. Shen has..."
Chen Ji handed over the reins with a complex expression and turned his head to look into the distance.
The villagers standing sporadically on the ridge, still with a numb expression, stood with their hands hanging down like living dead people. Only when their eyes swept over the wooden cart did their scattered eyes have a hint of emotion.
"At least today, you saved their lives."
Chen Ji finished speaking and tried to force a smile, but felt the reins in his hand being pulled away.
He looked up and found that Shen Yi was riding on an old donkey, walking away leisurely.
“……”
Shen Yi stretched and rolled her eyes.
Dont even think about it, before flattering someone, you have to sarcastically mock them first, what a virtue.
Affected.
