Chapter 399 - Daily Life in a Demon Sect (9) (2/2)

“Have some ambition!” Shi Sheng glared at them in exasperation. “All you guys know is how to kill!”

“Everyone we killed deserved it!” One of the Demon Sect members refused to back down.

Shi Sheng rolled her eyes inwardly. “Do you think you’re a harbinger of justice or something?”

‘That line belong to your enemies, okay? The hell are you using it for?

“Our Sect Creed is to root out evil!” The Demon Sect members dragged out their sect creed to help prove their point.

“The fuck?” Shi Sheng was surprised. ‘The Demon Sect has a creed? How come I didn’t see it anywhere? And the hell is with “root out evil”? Why not “save humanity” while you’re at it?’

“Ahem… That was a long time ago.” Ting Feng weakly explained. “Our Demon Sect’s first Sect Master left behind this creed.”

‘First Sect Master? The hell was he thinking, leaving behind a creed like this???’

Ting Feng continued filling Shi Sheng in. “Our first Sect Master wanted to be a hero, but he was framed by someone before being able to fulfil his aspirations…”

Shi Sheng was floored by this story.

Someone who wanted to be a good person was forced into being a villain…

“Stop. We can talk about it when we get back, ‘kay? For now, let’s get to work.” Shi Sheng interrupted Ting Feng and pointed at a compound in front of them.

“What work?” The Demon Sect members all had confused looks.

“Striking it rich ah.” ‘Where would the money come from apart from robbing it?’

The Demon Sect members, “…”

They thought Shi Sheng had just been joking, but reality proved them wrong. She really did rob that household.

The target of their heist was an infamous tyrant in this city. Shi Sheng picked him was because he was rich, and also because even if they killed them all, no self-righteous people would come looking for trouble.

After all, everyone wants tyrants dead.

It must said, this tyrant possessed a lot of money due to how many commoners he extorted. Shi Sheng only got them to bring the gold, leaving everything else untouched.

Once they left the mansion, one of the Demon Sect members voiced his doubts, “Sect Master, why didn’t we kill them?”

“What for?” Shi Sheng tossed a piece of gold up and down, and after a slight pause, continued, “We’ll leave them around to rob again.”

The Demon Sect members were utterly defeated by this answer.

“Sect Head, is this really okay? This money belongs to the commoners…” Ting Feng was a bit hesitant.

Shi Sheng’s lips twitched as she smacked his shoulder. “Come, tell me: what sect are we again?”

“…The Demon Sect.”

Shi Sheng’s eyes curved upwards. “Any more questions?”

“We’re the Demon Sect, not bandits!”

“En, ‘bandits’ doesn’t sound as nice.”

Ting Feng, “…” ‘No way to communicate with Sect Master…’

Shi Sheng chased the rest of the Demon Sect members back to fix the road, leaving behind only Ting Feng to follow her.

The next day, news spread that the tyrant had been robbed. He made a report to the officials, but it wasn’t of any use. How could those useless bums manage to find anything useful in their investigation?

The commoners were extremely happy, all supporting the one who had done the deed.

Shi Sheng strolled around the city, making no effort to cover her tracks. Ting Feng didn’t know what Shi Sheng wanted to do, so he could only continue to follow her.

On the third day, Shi Sheng found the two leads. They were staying in an inn. She didn’t know whether the ML would still meet his moonlight here after the changes in the plot.

“Sect Master, why are we tailing Fu Yiyun? You want to kill him?” Ting Feng didn’t understand.

“Why would I kill him?” ‘The question is: can I(lz) even kill him?’

Ting Feng guessed, “Then you have a secret crush on him?”

Shi Sheng gave him an unamused look. “I’d prefer a pig over him.”

Ting Feng, “…” ‘Then why are you tailing him?’

[1] There are several ways to interpret the raws, “这个魔教有毒”. “有毒” literally means containing poison but “毒” is also the word for drugs. So I took a bit of liberty in the translation.
