The Great Demon (3)

Ahhhh?

Pei Yu thought for a while, took a step forward, hugged Huai Bai’s thigh, buried her head on her waist, and whispered: “Master~”

She turned her head to meet the ghost baby’s purple face, her eyes flashed a red light, and the ghost baby shook his body in fright, and started crying loudly.

It was very noisy.

Huai Bai carried the ghost infant and threw it out the window, then patted the child on the back, “Did it scare you?”

Pei Yu shook her head, feeling something a little soft under her hand, so she pressed it down.

Huai Bai froze, and a faint red cloud drifted across her face.

Only then did Pei Yu realize that her height was very embarrassing, and she held her hand just on Master’s…

She thought to herself: It turns out that the master is not as thin as she looks.

Huai Bai was only ashamed for a moment, and then returned to her original faceless and skinless appearance. She smiled and asked, “Apprentice, how is it? Does it feel good?”

Pei Yu blushed suddenly, glanced upwards with misty eyes, and said in embarrassment, “Master!”

“It’s me that was obviously touched, why are you acting like you were molested?” Huai Bai wanted to say something more, and suddenly thought that the child in front of her was less than ten years old, and she finally had a conscience. “What are you ashamed of? I’m your mother.”

Huh, mother?

A teacher for one day, a mother for life.

(T/N: a teacher for one day, a mother for life is an idiom that means you should treat your teacher with the same respect as your parents)

Pei Yu knew this, and she squeezed the corners of her clothes and said, “Master, don’t call me a cub…”

Master never called her like this in the previous life.

The child’s face was flushed, she pinched the corner of her clothes nervously, and a fresh light appeared in her eyes.

Huai Bai tried her best to restrain her motherly love, took a few deep breaths of cool air, reached out and rubbed the soft top of the child’s hair, and smiled: “My cub is so cute.”

She silently made up her mind, this time, she must be a real mother!

The door was suddenly pushed open, and the third aunt stepped into the house. When she saw them, she shook slightly and said, “Are you all right?”

Huai Bai looked at her with a smile that’s not quite a smile, “Is my third aunt here to help us collect the corpses?”

“You are cultivators?”

The faint sobbing sound of a woman from the master bedroom echoed in the small courtyard.

“Woo, I’m hungry… I’m hungry…”

The third aunt’s complexion became very ugly, and instead of going back to the bedroom, she walked out of the small courtyard, with Huai Bai and Pei Yu following behind her.

Pushing open the wooden door, the third aunt paled, holding on to the door frame and standing still, her lips trembled, and she said nothing.

The door was crowded with people.

These people looked numb, looked at her with godless eyes, closed their mouths, and said: “So hungry, so hungry, so hungry…”

The third aunt lowered her head and glanced at the talisman painted on the threshold that is still intact, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Huai Bai leaned in and said in surprise: “So many starving people, this is the way of hungry ghosts!”

While they were all watching the door, Pei Yu raised her hand, and a wisp of red mist quietly overflowed from her fingertips, sneaking into the third aunt’s bedroom like a snake.

There was a small lamp in the bedroom, and scroll paintings spread out beside the lamp. The girl painted with bright eyes and teeth had a smile.

The voice sounded came from a very fat woman. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to use a mountain of meat as a description. The mountain of meat shook, shaking the bed board constantly.

“I’m hungry, I’m hungry…” the mountain of meat cried.

Pei Yu found something hidden in the jade pillow beside the bed and drove the red mist forward, but when she reached the bed, the woman stopped crying and opened her mouth to take a breath. The red mist escaped her control and was sucked into the woman’s mouth.

Pei Yu’s face sank.

She has lost touch with the blood mist. Could this woman be able to merge with the blood mist?

Outside the door, the hungry villagers were still standing erect.

“So hungry, so hungry…”

“It’s so fragrant, I really want to eat, I really want to eat…”

Huai Bai took out a handful of spells, and threw it over like a goddess scattering flowers.

The spell fell on the villagers and nothing happened.

Huai Bai said: “Hey, why is it useless?” She smiled, “These people don’t even have their souls, but their bodies act as usual. It’s really funny.”

The third aunt closed the door.

“These people are still alive.”

Huai Bai smiled and said, “The soul is out of the body, how can it be a living person?”

The third aunt shook her head and said stubbornly: “It’s a living person.”

She looked at Huai Bai, her strangely thin face showed a strange brilliance, “Immortal chief, are you the immortal chief? Can you save us?”

Huai Bai shook her head, “No.” She glanced at the door, “Those people are out of help.”

The third aunt collapsed.

The bright moon shone in the courtyard, the ground was like water, the water flickered, and the fireflies went out.

Huai Bai stood in the courtyard, looking at the midnight and full moon, and sighed, “Finally, it’s fate to meet. I don’t want to get into this mess, but I can’t bear to let you continue to suffer. In the end. You might as well tell me what happened.”

Pei Yu looked at her silently, thinking: “Master really has the demeanor of a scam artist.”

The third aunt’s eyes rolled down, and a line of tears suddenly shed.

“My husband died early, leaving only a little sister. I managed to raise the little sister with great difficulty. She was sensible and had a good life. She is a well-known flower in the village. The matchmaker came to the threshold and I thought I could finally fulfill my deceased husband’s wish. But who knew that she was suddenly taken by the mountain king here.”

“Mountain king?”

The third aunt pointed to Zhushan, “It’s an immortal who occupies the mountain as the king on the top of the mountain. He used to force our village to worship, and later came to see my little sister, and even wanted to marry her as a wife. How can anyone marry an immortal? “The third aunt mopped up her tears, and then said: “Seeing that we disagree, he forcibly dominated the little girl, and cursed the whole village to become this kind of ghost.”

Is the mountain of meat in the house that little girl?

Pei Yu feels a little strange. Since the demon has taken a fancy to the little girl and put such a vicious curse on her, how can he be willing to let her be like this? Is it hatred through love?

But if you look at the painting, the little girl was indeed a beauty.

Huai Bai nodded, “This demon is really capable of turning a good village into hungry ghosts. Where’s your little girl? Maybe I can save her.”

The third aunt bit her lip, rubbing her hands, shaking her whole body.

Huai Bai asked with concern: “What?”

A faint cry came from inside the house——”So hungry, so hungry, so hungry…”

Huai Bai wanted to enter the door to investigate, but the third aunt stood in the door, “Sister, it’s not convenient to see guests.”

“But I’m going to save her.”

The third aunt looked sad, “She used to be so good-looking, but now she looks like a mix between human and ghost. She has always been afraid of being seen.”

Huai Bai was very reasonable, “Okay, then I won’t go in.”

The third aunt stared at her closely, “As long as you kill the demon.”

“But I can’t solve this curse.” Huai Bai stretched her hands helplessly.

The third aunt smiled miserably, “It’s already like this, what does it matter if I don’t understand it? Just help us get revenge.”

Huai Bai nodded again, “Good, good, but how do I get the demon out?”

The third aunt moved her gaze to Pei Yu, “That monster is lustful and loves beautiful little girls the most. If the little immortal chief walks alone on the mountain road, it will definitely come out.”

… …

After leaving the third aunt’s house, Pei Yu asked, “Master, do you believe what she said?”

Huai Bai was originally humming, and said with a smile, “I don’t believe it.”

“Then we still go to catch the demon?”

Huai Bai said: “Catch.”

“How do you deal with demons?”

Huai Bai stopped, covered her face and laughed.

“Master?”

Huai Bai suppressed a smile, “Cub, have you ever heard a word?”

“What?”

“Sex can cause disasters. If you cut the source, then it can’t cause disasters anymore.”

(T/N: honestly the translation of the above phrase was really hard to understand so think of it like this: if someone is too lustful and it affects their governance, then cut their balls off and that solves the problem; this was from an ancient poem by Cao Cao so the governance is governance of the imperial court)
