Bai Shuying was surprised by how capable Su Meilin was. The once shabby wooden structure, which appeared to be able to be taken down by strong winds, was rebuilt into a sturdy wooden cabin.
A wooden fence was created around the perimeter of the house. The front was used to plant and grow herbs with the seeds Bai Shuying had, while the backyard was used to raise cattle, such as chickens.
She is one talented architect!
Su Meilin was displeased by not having a proper bathroom.
What kind of woman can live in these conditions?!
She created a bath and a restroom. As a foundation establishment cultivator, she still had to clean and eat only when one reaches the core formation realm, they do not have to worry about food and bathing.
Bai Shuying was over the moon as her living standards were upgraded.
Su Meilin not only improved their living conditions, but also increased their meat intake.
Bai Shuying, noticing Su Meilin's strength, thought of getting revenge on a certain beast.
Bai Shuying took Su Meilin into the forest to confront the boar.
Stupid boar! You never thought I would bring my hired thug!
If Su Meilin knew that Bai Shuying was using her as a borrowed knife, she would probably pin her down again.
How dare you treat a delicate woman as a hired thug!
Bai Shuying accomplished her goal of grilling the beast that beat her.
Su Meilin was also surprised by how capable Bai Shuying was. The front yard that was used to grow plants was now filled with herbs.
It's only been a week, and she grew this?!
Even the wild chickens were tamed and obedient to Bai Shuying.
What is she? A chicken whisperer?!
Su Meilin also felt she was gaining weight.
Why is she such a good cook?! She's like a perfect wife!
Su Meilin, while living with Bai Shuying, also noted oddities about the fox girl.
Bai Shuying carried a pouch filled with grapes and ate them as snacks.
Why grapes?
Bai Shuying avoided taking baths with Su Meilin and changing in front of her.
Is she just really shy?
Bai Shuying also covered herself, revealing only her head.
She must be shy!
Bai Shuying used scented herbs on herself.
Why is she using herbs? When she smells pleasant.
Bai Shuying felt a lot of pressure. She couldn't just tell Su Meilin the truth.
I'm sorry, I am an alcoholic, I'm a man on the inside, I am shy about showing off my body, and I don't want to be pounced on.
Bai Shuying sighed, thinking.
I didn't think living with someone was so tough, but the gains out way the risks.
Bai Shuying, even if she found it difficult to hide her secrets, was happy at her improving living conditions, but also that she wasn't alone anymore.
Humans cough hybrids are social creatures.
Being isolated in fear that her secret of being half fox demon would be exposed always put her on edge, but now with Su Meilin, who knew her secret and even agreed to live with her, she felt the stone on her heart be lifted.
Bai Shuying, even if she lived in the city when she was older, was from a family of farmers, so she always had a green thumb. She also took care of the animals on her family farm, plus the scent from her body had a calming effect. She enjoyed cooking as a hobby, and living alone, she just got better and better at preparing meals.
Now, seeing the smile on Su Meilin's face as she ate, Bai Shuying couldn't help but put 120% more effort into her craft.
Bai Shuying continued her days living with Su Meilin while Su Meilin enjoyed her time and healed her injuries.
Bai Shuying, in her joy, completely forgot about one of her traits that happens once a month.
Feeling the bursts as if electrical currents were streaming through her lower body to her upper body. Bai Shuying clamped her legs, and her face turned red.
"Hmm, Shuying, are you okay? Your face is bright red!"
"I just need to use the bathroom real quick!"
Bai Shuying put down her chopsticks and bowl. While clamping her legs, she shuffled her way to the bathroom.
Shuying must need to go badly!
Su Meilin didn't think much of it.
Bai Shuying closed the door behind her and collapsed on the ground. Her heavy breathing felt as if it were turning into moans. Her legs started to shiver as she rubbed her legs together. She started to feel a liquid flow from her secret garden.
Why do I a man, have to suffer from this?! Curse me for choosing such a trait!
Bai Shuying closed her eyes tightly and lowered her right hand.
Let's do this quickly, Meilin is waiting!
Su Meilin continued eating, wondering what was taking Bai Shuying so long.
It would be rude to spread my consciousness; let me increase my hearing.
Su Meilin felt it was wrong to peek at Bai Shuying, instead, she perked her ears, but all she heard was the shuffling of clothes.
Su Meilin was very confused.
Bai Shuying returned from the bathroom and continued eating.
Hmm, why does her face look so rosy? The pleasant scent on her body became stronger, too.
Bai Shuying looked at Su Meilin, eyeing her suspiciously.
"Cough, I felt much relieved after going, holding it in is a bad idea!"
Su Meilin could only nod her head and shrugged off what happened.
Bai Shuying sighed in relief.
It happens at the end of every month, I need to figure out how to deal with it so Meilin doesn't find out.
…
Bai Shuying had a daily routine: wake up just before sunrise, make breakfast, wake up Su Meilin, wash dirty clothes, and hang them to dry outside. Then tend to the garden in the front yard. In the afternoon, go tend to the animals in the backyard. Just before sunset, prepare dinner. At night, before bedtime, take a bath.
The comfort of routine! How I missed it!
While Bai Shuying was doing this, Su Meilin would wake up late, head into the forest, and come back during dinner time.
Su Meilin would bring animals she hunted, herbs she found, and anything that would be useful.
When Bai Shuying thought of their roles, she couldn't help, but shed tears.
Why do I seem like a wife waiting for her husband?!
…
Bai Shuying attended to her garden as usual. Su Meilin headed into the forest.
My injuries are almost healed!
Su Meilin was delighted that she would be back at full strength, but when she thought of parting with Bai Shuying, she was reluctant.
Su Meilin always kept people at a distance and only showed a cold facade. The only people she let close to her and see her emotions were her master, but now Bai Shuying.
The memories of her time with Bai Shuying played in Su Meilin's mind, and a soft smile graced her lips.
The smile soon faded, replaced by a cold mask, and a sword appeared in her hand.
It seems I'm surrounded! Three people, one foundation establishment, and two qi condensation cultivators.
"Well, finally found you, demoness!"
Three men in blue robes appeared, forming a triangle around Su Meilin. The man who spoke with a smirk on his face was a foundation establishment third stage.
"Yeah! We went through so much trouble to find you!"
On the left, words spoken by the ugly man at the qi condensation seventh stage.
"Elder brother, after you're done, you should toss her to us next!"
On the right, added the short man who licked his lips at the qi condensation fifth stage.
"Hmph, trash from the Heavenly Sword Sect has such lofty dreams!"
Su Meilin looked at the three with disdain. She, a fourth stage foundation establishment cultivator, was ambushed and pushed into a corner, injured, but she was able to flee successfully.
Now these toads found her!
Su Meilin wasn't worried for herself, but about Bai Shuying.
The man at the front swung his sword. Su Mailin slashed with her sword. The battle between the two foundation establishment cultivators caused explosions and loud noises to ring out through the forest. The other two men watched, not wanting to let Su Meilin escape.
Bai Shuying's fox ears sprouted out of her head, She heard the fighting going on in the forest from the direction Su Meilin went.
Bai Shuying wasn't impulsive. She covered herself in rags, put a green and red vial in her clothes and picked up the dagger with her right hand then she walked towards the noise as quietly as possible.
She saw three men surround Su Meilin. One fought while the other two watched. When Bai Shuying saw the blue martial robes, her eyes narrowed, and she gritted her teeth.
Heavenly Sword Sect! Enemies do meet in unlikely situations!
Bai Shuying's sixth sense told her the man fighting Su Meilin was extremely dangerous, while the ugly man was somewhat dangerous, and the short man was not.
Bai Shuying opened the vial with red liquid and coated her dagger with it.
Poison should work, and I have the element of surprise!
Bai Shuying looked calm on the outside, but on the inside her heart beat like a drum.
She slowly made her way behind the short man, the dagger in her hand ready to reap a life.
Su Meilin kept the foundation establishment man busy, the short man focused on the fight, while the ugly man yawned in boredom. He noticed a glint behind the short man and yelled.
"Third Broth!…"
Bai Shuying made her move. The dagger in her hand sliced the short man's throat. The short man was stunned and clutched his throat to stop the bleeding, but the poison seeped into his body, he started to foam from his mouth, his eyes rolled back, and he fell to the ground.
Thud!
The scene went silent, all eyes focused on Bai Shuying. Bai Shuying didn't pay attention to the dead man; instead reversed the hold on her dagger as if holding a short sword and ran towards the ugly man.
Su Meilin was surprised, she had never seen Bai Shuying with such cold eyes before.
The foundation establishment cultivator yelled.
"Fool! Fight her!"
The ugly man woke from his daze, pulled his sword out, and rushed towards Bai Shuying, yelling.
"Damn! Bastard!"
"That's what they called you when your mother had you!"
A bastard is a person born out of wedlock, Bai Shuying is insinuating that his mother had him out of wedlock.
The ugly man almost choked on his saliva. Never before has someone insulted him in such a way.
The sword he swung slowed down. Bai Shuying evaded and continued her barrage of insults.
"Is your mother ugly? Or what creature did she bed? To produce something like you?!"
"You have a face only a mother could love!"
"You probably can't get a woman, so you resort to such methods!"
The ugly man became angry at the insults and swung his sword wildly. Bai Shuying, with the traits of stamina and flexibility, evaded and made cuts on the ugly man's body from difficult angles.
Bai Shuying, as a gamer and netizen, fought word for word against the most vile humans, but she never lost.
A veteran in online chats.
Bai Shuying, as a modern person, her insults were things people in this world dare not say, insulting a person's family and mother held large implications, as they say ignorance is bliss.
Su Meilin tried to suppress her laughter, she wanted to hold her stomach and laugh out loud.
Shuying is so naughty!
The foundation establishment cultivator was stunned by Bai Shuying and angry at the ugly man for not killing a girl with no cultivation.
Bai Shuying's traits were already self-explanatory, but as a hybrid, she has higher basic stats than a regular mortal.
The ugly man started to feel strange, his body felt heavy, sweat started to fall from his face, and a moment later, he foamed from his mouth and slumped onto the ground.
Bai Shuying took this moment to slice the ugly man's neck.
The other two had one common thought.
Why are you obsessed with slicing throats?!
Bai Shuying felt danger and rolled on the ground away from where she previously stood.
A streak, leaving a mark on the ground, passed by where she stood.
Bai Shuying gulped, seeing the mark.
I could have been split in half!
Su Meilin, who still had internal injuries, tried to add more pressure to the enemy.
Bai Shuying, seeing Su Meilin struggle, took out the vial with green powder.
"Meilin, watch out!"
She threw the vial at the foundation establishment cultivator.
"Do you think such petty tricks can work on someone like me?"
The man slashed the vial, and the powder scattered in the air.
Bai Shuying watched as if waiting.
Hopefully it works! Don't let me down, cultivation authors!
Bai Shuying believed that if the paralysis poison worked, it would give Su Meilin the upper hand, but she didn't know whether it worked on someone at the foundation establishment realm.
The man felt his body start to freeze.
Noticing, Bai Shuying yelled.
"Now, Meilin!"
Su Meilin, understanding the situation, attacked more viciously, sliced the man's throat, and stabbed his heart.
Bai Shuying sees this thought.
I should be careful not to anger Meilin in the future!
Su Meilin watched the man die, catching her breath.
Bai Shuying looted the corpses and piled them together. She took out a flint rock and a regular rock and struck them together, a spark happened and lit the bodies on fire.
Su Meilin watched dazed.
Why are you so professional at this?! Am I the demoness, or are you?!
Bai Shuying wiped her nonexistent sweat. As the adrenaline wore off, she then went near a tree, placing her hand on the trunk, and bent down vomiting.
Su Meilin hurriedly ran towards her, rubbing her back.
"Is this the first time?"
"Yeah! It felt horrible!"
"Then, why did you do it?"
"I didn't want to see anything happen to you!"
Su Meilin felt a warmth in her heart; other than her master, no one else showed her such unconditional warmth.
Bai Shuying finished vomiting everything in her stomach and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.
"Let's go back to the house."
"Yeah!"
Bai Shuying left the forest with Su Meilin, who held her arm.
