Moonlight Suspense - Chapter 2

Chapter 2

When the people of the Demon Sect saw me bring back a corpse, none of them found it strange anymore.

After all, I really do like collecting beautiful corpses.

Two years ago, I killed the senior disciple of an Immortal Sect. He was exactly my type.

Sword-like brows, star-bright eyes-strikingly handsome, one of a kind.

His side profile in particular was sharp and severe, as if carved by blade and axe.

I went to a lot of trouble to bring his corpse back with me.

His sect is still hunting me down even now.

I heard the bounty on me has already risen to fifty thousand spirit stones!

Heh, I really am worth a lot.

Just then, the Demon Sect guard spotted the milk-scented little child trailing behind me.

His eyes went wide in an instant.

What had he just seen?

Though she was filthy from head to toe, he still recognized it.

This was a human child.

And a living one at that.

The guard had never expected that his Saintess had now gone so utterly insane that she would not even spare a child.

In his mind, he had already pieced together a hundred dramatic scenes of forced love and abduction.

Like some overbearing Saintess falling for a despairing married man, failing to win his love, turning love into hatred, and snatching away the child of the man she desired.

Or maybe a deranged Saintess fleeing with a bun in the oven and all that.

Right then, he heard the Saintess speak.

“Hey. Take that kid in back and wash her up. She’s way too dirty. She practically stinks.”

That only made the guard more certain of his theory.

His Saintess was going to eat a child.

Sure, they were the Demon Sect-there wasn’t any cruel or bloodthirsty method he hadn’t seen before.

But something this twisted was still a first for him.

Thinking that, the guard couldn’t help looking at the child with a little more sympathy.

I, of course, had no idea what the guard was thinking.

I was seriously picking out a burial spot for Ji Ruyin.

Maybe I should bury her beside my bed? That way, when I got bored, I could dance on top of her grave.

Though if I got up in the middle of the night, it might be a little scary.

But if I just left her there, she’d start smelling in a couple of days.

That would ruin my nice fragrant room.

Then I remembered that my master’s room had an Ice Coffin that could keep a corpse from decaying.

He said he was saving it for the woman he loved.

I looked at the empty Ice Coffin and asked him, “Can your beloved turn invisible?”

At the time, he gave me an extremely complicated look and said coldly,

“She’s not dead yet.”

I nodded and asked again,

“Then do you want me to help you kill her?”

That made my master’s face go completely dark, and he threw me out.

Thinking about it now, the woman he loved probably wasn’t going to die anytime soon, so I might as well borrow it first.

And just so happened, the old bastard had gone into secluded cultivation lately.

So I went straight into his bedroom and hauled the Ice Coffin out.

Then I thought about how much of a clean freak the old bastard was, and how filthy Ji Ruyin was.

I’d better change her clothes first.

It was only because I was afraid of getting my master’s precious Ice Coffin dirty. It definitely wasn’t because I felt sorry for Ji Ruyin.

For the wounds on her face, I applied the best wound medicine from the Immortal Sect.

I had looted a whole bunch of storage pouches from Immortal Sect disciples during my earlier fights.

It would be a waste not to use the stuff anyway, so I reluctantly used some on Ji Ruyin.

I just didn’t know whether wound medicine worked on corpses or not.

The injuries on her face were manageable.

But that severed arm was really too awkward to look at.

I’m a little obsessive like that. I really can’t stand seeing someone missing an arm or a leg.

With that thought, I got to my feet and headed outside.

Right then, I ran into my maid Hong Xiao, who was leading a fair, delicate little girl toward me.

“Saintess, this… she’s all cleaned up now. How are you planning to eat her?”

“Steam her? Or braise her?”

As Hong Xiao spoke, she licked her bright red lips.

I froze for a moment and instinctively looked at the little girl, who looked like a porcelain doll.

The moment she heard Hong Xiao’s words, she burst into tears with a wail.

So she wasn’t mute after all.

“Who said I was going to eat her?”

“You’re not?”

Hong Xiao tilted her head at me, revealing tiny pointed fangs.

A little irritated, I waved my hand.

Ji Ruyin, that troublesome woman-even dead, she still wouldn’t let me have any peace.

“Just find some place to keep her. As long as she doesn’t die, that’s fine.”

After saying that, I hurried off. Hong Xiao called after me curiously,

“Saintess, you just got back. Where are you going now?”

“To get an arm!”
