Huddled inside the sword, Chenxu trembled with fear. She thought she was doomed, and then, unable to hold back, she slapped herself.
Why did I have to do something so stupid? In the end, I didn't even manage to do anything stupid, and now that awful girl has her eye on me. I'm doomed.
Seeing that the longsword in front of her did not react, Ye Sisi was not in a hurry. She continued to watch with a smile, and her voice became more and more gentle: "Take advantage of the situation, don't be afraid, I am very reasonable."
Taking advantage of the moment when she couldn't hold back any longer, she slipped out like a thief and hid behind Ye Shubai, her big, watery eyes timidly looking at the girl who was resting her chin on her hands.
"My dear master's junior sister, I really know I was wrong. My dear master has already disciplined me. I promise I will never make this mistake again. Really, I swear to God."
Ye Shubai, who had been silent all along, tapped the table lightly, then immediately shut up, her expression becoming even more aggrieved.
"Henhen, come out and greet little sister Chenxu. It's our first meeting, so just be polite."
Wuhen floated out expressionlessly. He understood what she meant: "Being polite means you shouldn't be polite." But this little guy didn't seem very tough.
Seeing that Wuhen had taken advantage of the situation to drag them away, Ye Sisi and the others began to take stock of their gains from this secret realm.
Some were used up in the fight, but the gains were still plentiful, especially the corpse of that great demon, which was priceless.
Baili Zhuoran of the Divine Path Sect was very good at dealing with people. He could have returned to the Divine Path Sect today, but he was willing to stay an extra night so that they would have enough time to deal with the corpse.
Refining weapons doesn't require that flesh and blood. They can keep it themselves or sell it, but they should get rid of it first. When they ask True Monarch Fire Dragon to refine the weapons later, it won't be so conspicuous.
Ye Sisi inscribed a spatial array in the courtyard before releasing the corpse of the great demon.
Then the four of them began to skin and pull out tendons.
It was a truly brutal act of skinning and dismembering, yet all four men were all smiles. If you ignored the incredibly bloody scene, you might think they were picking up money.
If anyone were to pass by and see this scene, they would definitely find it creepy, and most likely think that these people have something wrong with their brains.
Of course, no outsiders will come here. If someone does come, then fighting and killing will be inevitable.
Money can be a powerful motivator, and Ye Sisi understood this principle back when she was watching TV dramas.
Baili Zhuoran's invitation actually saved them from a lot of trouble. There were quite a few people who saw them collecting the corpses, and as word spread, some people were bound to be tempted.
As for whether Baili Zhuoran would have other ideas, it is highly unlikely, because he is a good person and should not do anything ungrateful. Moreover, he is a disciple of a righteous sect like the Divine Path Sect, and a tenth-level great demon would not make him have the idea of killing and robbing.
As the number one righteous sect in the Holy Spirit Domain, the Divine Path Sect would not care about face or reputation.
Putting aside everything else, Meng Tianyuan and Yaoyan are currently stationed at the two key points of the demon-slaying grounds, and they are already registered in the spirit world.
It wouldn't be difficult for these major sects to investigate their backgrounds, as Ye Sisi and her group weren't the type to refuse to rely on powerful backers.
They had already told Meng Tianyuan, Yaoyan, and Su Jiuli everything that had happened. If something really happened to them at the Divine Dao Sect, the Divine Dao Sect would not have an easy time.
Moreover, Ye Sisi did not believe that these major sects were unaware of Su Jiuli's current strength and status; otherwise, they would have sent him to set up defenses. Therefore, the Divine Dao Sect would not be so foolish as to attack them for a mere tenth-tier demon, unless they had lost their minds.
In short, as long as they don't deliberately court death, those who could threaten their lives are unlikely to provoke them, except for their enemies, such as the one hiding behind the scenes who instigated the tenth-level demons who were being skinned and dismembered by them to deal with them.
In fact, Ye Sisi underestimated Su Jiuli's current status. She could even command a once-recognized strongest Tribulation Transcending stage expert to protect her junior brothers and sisters. How could she be an ordinary person?
Such protectors are enough to remain in the shadows; otherwise, they would only hinder the growth of Ye Sisi and others. Often, cultivators grow faster when facing life-or-death situations.
If Zhou Yuze knew that his master was going to such lengths to protect a few outsiders, he wondered what he would think, since even he, as the last disciple, didn't receive such treatment.
After dealing with the great demon's corpse, Ye Sisi stretched. She would refine the demon blood into talisman ink later and store it for later use after she broke through to the Void Refinement stage. At that time, the grade and quality of the talismans she could draw would only be higher.
Just as I was thinking of this, Wuhen took advantage of the moment and picked me up like a little chick and brought me back.
She didn't seem to be injured, but she looked sickly, with empty, desperate eyes, devoid of any spirit, like a lifeless porcelain doll.
Ye Sisi asked curiously, "Henhen, why doesn't she have any injuries at all? When did you learn to be so chivalrous?"
Wuhen's lips twitched. It wasn't that he was being dramatic, but anyone who had such an unreliable master would know how difficult it was to communicate with him. And listen to this, is he even speaking human language?
"If you're not satisfied, just keep slashing yourself a few more times."
After saying that, Grandpa Wuhen disappeared. Well, he preferred to be alone and watching a show occasionally was enough for him.
As for Chen Xu, who was utterly despondent, he numbly looked up at the girl in blue opposite him, his little expression extremely pitiful.
"Alright, stop pretending. Your acting skills are worse than Little Fatty's."
She can continue to slack off and be a lazy bum while she's at ease. She won't hear anything, and from now on she'll just be a quiet and obedient sword spirit.
Ye Shubai hummed in agreement, and taking advantage of the moment when he was about to continue playing dead, he suddenly flipped over and leaped up as if by divine intervention, full of energy. "What are your orders, dear master?"
After thinking for a moment, Ye Sisi looked at Ye Shubai and said, "Fourth Senior Brother, is it alright for me to teach her a lesson a little?"
It's really because our own Henhen is so unhelpful. Look at her, she's completely being led by the nose by the opportunist and probably hasn't even done anything.
Ye Shubai glanced at the shameless Chenxu and laughed, "As long as he doesn't die, that's fine."
Taking advantage of the situation, she really played dead and pretended to be dead. She was filled with regret. Why did she even think of trying to possess someone? She knew this guy was not someone to mess with. Things had turned out this way. She could only say she deserved it.
Ye Sisi didn't hold back. When dealing with certain people—or rather, these people weren't exactly human, but close enough—she had to make them suffer, otherwise they'd always try to cause trouble.
So she flicked her finger, and a beam of white light shot into Chenxu's brow.
