115 – h.e.l.l

Xue Qilin is walking along the allay, with Phecda right behind her.

The moment when light meets darkness has already pa.s.sed. Heavy dark clouds obscure the sky, leaving only half of a bewitching red moon suspended high on the curtain of night.

There is a strange smell in the air. It's the smell of blood.

… of more than one person.

It is impossible for one person's blood to emit such a strong smell. Not a small number of people must have died.

“It's a bit irritating…”

The disgusting smell raged inside the nasal cavities, forcing Xue Qilin to cover her nose with a sleeve to block the smell.

With the perception ability of a Heaven Realm master, her five senses are far more developed that those of ordinary people, which is why her sense of smell is so impacted by the thick stench of blood.

Without any better option, she adjusted the circulation of true qi in her body to reduce the acuity of her five senses, and the smell of blood became much fainter.

As a cost for suppressing the five senses, her vision dimmed instantly, and even the noise coming from afar disappeared along with a “hum” sound.

“It's not a little, but rather quite irritating!”

Phecda covered her mouth and nose, causing the voice to sound m.u.f.fled.

“Why have we come to such a place? I want to go back.”

Frowning in disgust, Phecda complained while pulling on Xue Qilin's sleeve.

“Stop it, the road has become difficult to traverse as is.”

Xue Qilin stopped and pulled the sleeve away from Phecda.

Then she a.s.sumed an expression of teasing, turned her head around, and looked sideways at Phecda who has shrank behind her.

“Hey hey hey, that takes the cake! Anyway, you are a sword spirit, can't you bear with it?”

“That has nothing to do with anything! Even as a sword spirit, I still find disgusting things disgusting!”

With that, Phecda puffed up her cheeks and stared at Xue Qilin with her big eyes.

“Really…”

Xue Qilin faced forward and narrowed her eyes.

“Then wait for me outside, I will go by myself.”

Her bright eyes s.h.i.+ne faintly in the deep darkness.

“But, but…”

Xue Qilin's proposal made Phecda feel extremely embarra.s.sed.

“What if something goes wrong, what will you do without me by your side?”

Hearing Phecda's concern, Xue Qilin poked fun at her.

“Hey, who was it that put a certain naughty sword in order a while back?”

“Boo…you're bullying me again. I already apologized.”

Aggrieved, Phecda bit her lower lip and put on an expression of someone about to tear up.

“Besides, it wasn't fair, it was two-on-one…”

Xue Qilin wrinkled her nose in resignation and displeasure.

“Yes Yes Yes. At that time, I had two choices, to fight you alone or together with Little Zhen. I chose the latter.”

At this point, she cracked her fingers.

“Now you also have two options, either follow me or wait for me outside. Which one do you choose?”

“… Do I have to choose?”

Phecda rubbed her toes together in distress.

“Then follow me if you can't decide!”

Shooting a glance at Phecda's white embroidered shoes, Xue Qilin spread her hands.

Without wait for Phecda to make a decision, she set off again.

“Boo hoo, why are you being like this!”

Phecda made a cry and quickly caught up.

The two walked for a short distance, and the faint b.l.o.o.d.y smell has gradually become stronger.

After turning around a corner, the sound of stepping on water sounded.

Xue Qilin who stepped on something stopped in her footsteps immediately.

“Whoa!”

Caught off guard. Phecda knocked into Xue Qilin in front of fer and almost plopped on the ground with her but.

She took a few steps back to stabilize herself, and then rubbed her nose and complained: “Why did you stop so abruptly?!”
