Chapter 1
◎Foreword◎
Pei Xueyan felt very unlucky.
Her master had only passed on his martial arts skills to her a few days ago, and the news had already spread throughout the entire martial arts world.
Her master was none other than Ye Xiuluo, whose name resounded throughout the martial arts world.
Ye Xiuluo possessed exceptional martial arts skills and hated unfaithful men more than anything else in his life. He had slain countless people with his sword.
Love can kill any unfaithful man in the world, and whether someone is unfaithful or not is entirely up to her to define.
Over the years, countless men have died at her hands. Whether they were Taoist priests, monks, or disciples of prestigious families, they were all equal in her eyes. Once a man was judged to be unfaithful, he was doomed to die.
This is why Ye Xiuluo has accumulated deep resentment in the martial arts world and is hated by many people.
He was a ruthless killer, kept a gigolo, and possessed unparalleled poison skills, truly inspiring fear in all who heard of him.
Now that she's retiring from the martial world to make way for the next one, another female demon has arrived.
Pei Xueyan still can't understand why her master would pass on his martial arts skills to her.
In terms of aptitude, she couldn't match her senior's diligence and hard work. And in terms of judging character, she couldn't learn her senior's ability to instantly see through a man's tricks.
When he accompanied his master to kill, he could only act as a lookout.
However, she would not be discouraged. Since her master had chosen her, Pei Xueyan would definitely carry on his orders.
Before Ye Xiuluo retired from the martial arts world, he specially changed her name from "A Zheng" to "Pei Xueyan".
If you think that the name A-Zheng is too childish and doesn't match the identity of a female demon, then Pei Xueyan sounds gentle and refined, just like a young lady raised in a wealthy family, which is really not related to the word "demon".
But she had no choice but to obey her master's orders.
Master has been roaming the martial arts world for over a decade and is now in his early thirties.
He promised to kill until he was fifty, but he retired from the underworld just like that. It's a real pity.
No one knows where she went; she vanished without a trace, as if she had evaporated into thin air.
Some rumors say she died from syphilis.
Some say she was murdered by her enemies and her body was torn to pieces.
Pei Xueyan was very worried about her master, but she had to obey her master's orders and not go looking for her.
After staying on the mountain for over a month, she couldn't stand it anymore and came down.
As I descended the mountain, I saw that the streets were covered with portraits of myself.
"A reward of ten thousand taels of gold will be given to anyone who captures the female demon Pei Xueyan."
That portrait doesn't depict her as she is now at all; it's clearly a stretched version of her appearance when she was eleven or twelve.
It's not exactly pretty.
That year, her master fell seriously ill and remained bedridden for a long time without getting better, so she accompanied her master down the mountain to seek medical treatment and obtain medicine.
Both the master and she were originally wearing black veils covering their heads, but they were discovered and their true faces were revealed.
Pei Xueyan was young and her martial arts skills were weak at the time. She also looked like a child. Perhaps those martial arts practitioners respected the rules and did not make things difficult for her in the end.
She used to think that after her master retired, he would pass on his martial arts skills to her senior sister.
Just lie there comfortably, no need to practice martial arts or get up early, and enjoy the treatment of your junior sister.
I really didn't expect that this position would be hers.
Seeing her childhood portraits plastered all over the street, and hearing passersby pointing at the portraits and talking about her as a "female demon," Pei Xueyan lost all appetite.
Right now, she really wants to kill someone.
However, her martial arts foundation was weak to begin with, and the techniques passed down by her master were too profound. Her body had not had time to fully adapt, and her internal energy circulation was always somewhat sluggish.
These days are probably the busiest time of her life.
The waiter quickly brought over a large bowl of noodles, a large plate of beef, and a bottle of wine.
She was dressed in white and had a pretty face, but her long hair was tied up and she wore no jewelry. She looked like a young nobleman who was leisurely drinking.
There was no trace of the female demon.
After the food and drinks, all worries vanished.
Pei Xueyan hadn't drunk much alcohol before. She had only seen heroes drinking and discussing swordsmanship when she went down the mountain with her master, and sometimes even drawing their swords against each other when they got excited. She had been curious about this, and only tried drinking a few sips on her recent trips down the mountain.
Unexpectedly, the spicy liquor brought her an indescribable sense of pleasure, and she gradually became somewhat addicted to it.
Just as I was putting a piece of beef into my mouth, the conversation of several men at the next table drifted into my ears.
"The streets are plastered with portraits of that female demon Pei Xueyan. Do you think they might be targets deliberately planted by that old hag Ye Xiuluo?"
"Who knows? We'll kill the young and the old together. How could a group of us not be able to subdue a newly debuted female demon?"
"If I really happen to encounter them, I'll kill them with one strike."
Pei Xueyan scoffed. These men were no match for her before, so how could they possibly beat her now?
That's utterly delusional.
She didn't want to pay attention, but those people's words became increasingly outrageous.
"Speaking of which, I've heard that Ye Xiuluo's martial arts are all crooked and unorthodox. No matter who she passes them on to, they will only harm both the body and the user. I saw her once from afar years ago. She was actually quite pretty. How did she end up on the evil path and become a female demon that everyone hates?"
"What a pity, what a pity! No matter how beautiful Ye Xiuluo was in her youth, she must be old and faded now. But then again, if Pei Xueyan had even half the looks of her master, even if she were a demon, I might reluctantly take her in..."
Upon hearing this, the people at the next table immediately burst into laughter.
"Brother Chen, you're mistaken! I've heard that Ye Xiuluo has a skill called 'Pillow and Bed Ecstasy Push,' which seduced countless men back in the day, and its effects are said to be irresistible. Do you think she might have passed it on to her little disciple? If only I could try it..."
"Ha ha ha ha......"
The foul language and laughter were particularly jarring in the noisy tavern.
A group of men began whispering about sex in broad daylight.
Vulgar! Shameless!
Pei Xueyan raised her head, took a sip of her wine, and her gaze landed precisely on the three men who had just spoken.
The three men were around thirty years old, all with beards and unremarkable appearances, yet their speech was so vulgar and filthy, especially the man called "Brother Chen," whose eyes were practically overflowing with lust.
Therefore, the "Brother Chen" who uttered those foul words was the first person Pei Xueyan decided to kill.
