While eating melons and cultivating immortality, I felt soft after picking up the magic weapon.

Chapter 44 Kill that beast!
[Wow, doesn’t it mean that the swamp monster will come at any time these days? What should I do, Youyou? ! 】

The village chief also looked at her expectantly.

"Taoist Priest, are you here to kill the swamp monster?"

Qu Xinyou nodded.

【ah? Youyou, are you planning to kill the swamp monster? 】

"It depends on the situation. If it doesn't work, I will go back as soon as possible and call my senior brothers and sisters to come."

Seeing her nodding, the villagers in Xiaoxi Village were quite happy at first, but they panicked after hearing what she said next.

Swamp Thing is coming in the next few days!
"Don't worry, the sect will send someone tomorrow at the latest."

Hearing this, they were relieved.

The village chief kept asking: "Taoist priest, do you want to rest here?"

They hope Qu Xinyou stays.

There will be danger at any time before the Swamp Monster is eliminated. If Qu Xinyou is there, there is no need to worry too much.

"I'm going to have a look over at the swamp."

Seeing that Qu Xinyou was not leaving, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Does the Taoist Master need us to lead the way?"

"No need, just stay well."

After that, Qu Xinyou left, and the village chief still looked at Qu Xinyou's leaving figure reluctantly.

Shortly after she left, the entire Xiaoxi Village knew that someone from the Yuqing Sect had arrived, and everyone was overjoyed.

[Host, why do you want to reveal your identity as a disciple of the Yuqing Sect? Wouldn't this make people discover that you have been here? 】

[As long as He Shouyan and the others don't know. 】

He Shouyan would not be bored enough to come over to Xiaoxi Village to ask.

As for the other people, they don’t know the reason, but they wouldn’t suspect anything even if they knew she was here.

And the reason why she revealed it directly was to get information about the Swamp Monster as soon as possible.

Sometimes there is no need to rush, but sometimes it is convenient, and she will naturally not choose a more troublesome path.

When they were a little far away from Xiaoxi Village, they were about to take a light charm and rush over at full speed, but suddenly they noticed someone following behind them.

This person's pace was not fast, and he was very unfamiliar with hiding his figure, so she noticed it easily.

Qu Xinyou just pretended not to notice, took a photo of the light body charm and moved forward at full speed.

The people behind saw her suddenly running so fast and hurriedly chased after her, but by this time Qu Xinyou had already disappeared.

Just as she was hesitating to walk toward the swamp, a hand tapped her shoulder.

She turned around and saw Qu Xinyou's face appeared in front of her eyes.

"Ah..." Lan Xiu was so frightened that she fell to the ground.

[Hey, with these eyes, isn’t she the scary old lady just now? 】

【Um. 】

Qu Xinyou looked at Lan Xiu with a cold expression, and his body was tense and alert to the other party, ready to take out the machete from the Lingyu space at any time.

"Why are you following me?"

Even if the other party is an old man, she will not relax even a little bit.

Lan Xiu lowered her head and said nothing.

Qu Xinyou couldn't help but frown.

After taking a look, he determined that the other party was just an unarmed old man and planned to leave.

"Taoist Master, can you kill that swamp monster?" Lan Xiu finally spoke, her voice rough and hoarse, as if she hadn't spoken for a long time.

"Not necessarily. If I can't handle it, I will call my senior brothers and sisters to come."

Qu Xinyou used the same rhetoric as the village chief.

Hearing this, Lan Xiu suddenly knelt down and kowtowed, her voice sounding like it was quenched with poison, filled with deep-seated hatred.

"Please, Taoist Priest, kill that beast and avenge my grandson. As long as Taoist Priest can kill that beast, I can do anything you want, and I can give you my life, please!"

"...What do I want from your life? Get up."

After helping her up, Qu Xinyou asked her: "You followed me just to tell me this?" "Yes, my grandson..."

Lan Xiu's grandson was bitten by a swamp monster three years ago and was seriously injured. The wound became infected and died. In the past three years, she had been confused and wanted to die with her grandson several times.

But when I thought that the beast was still alive, I couldn't hold my breath.

So she had been hoping that Yuqing Sect would send someone to kill that beast.

But she waited and waited, but she couldn't wait until someone from the Yuqing Sect came.

Until Qu Xinyou's arrival, when she heard that Qu Xinyou was a disciple of the Yuqing Sect, she was already relieved.

So she didn't get too excited. After pointing the way, she sat on the stone bench built for her by her grandson in the center of the courtyard as usual.

But she still cares after all.

So she opened the courtyard door again and looked towards the village chief, only to see Qu Xinyou leaving Xiaoxi Village.

She thought Qu Xinyou was leaving, so she finally panicked and hurriedly followed him.

[Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu So pitiful. My only grandson died at the mouth of a monster. He has lived like a zombie for three years. It's so pitiful! 】

【…】

"Taoist Priest, I beg you, please kill that beast!"

With that said, Lan Xiu knelt down again.

Qu Xinyou reached out to stop him.

Her voice was calm, but her expression was more serious: "Don't worry, I can do it. Even if I can't, my senior brothers and sisters will. No later than tomorrow, the swamp monster will definitely die."

"Thank you, thank you, Taoist Priest..."

Saying goodbye to Lan Xiu, Qu Xinyou hurried to the swamp.

On the way, the system asked some curious questions.

[Youyou, why do I feel that you treat Lan Xiu and the others differently from Yuan Yuan and the others? 】

【Is it different? 】

[Yes, it’s very different! Don't be angry when I say this, Youyou. I think your treatment of Yuan Yuan and the others is mostly based on exploitation. If it doesn't make you a profit, you won't even bother to deal with it.

But this is not the case when you treat mortals like Lan Xiu. 】

[Because there is nothing in them that I can use. 】

[That’s different, oh, how should I put it, anyway, it’s just different! 】

Qu Xinyou was silent.

She knew what Guagua meant.

After a moment, she said slowly: "Because Yuan Yuan and the others have spiritual roots, no matter how miserable they are, they have a way to become stronger, but mortals are different.

Mortals have no spiritual roots and are destined to have limited power from birth, let alone a woman like Lan Xiu. "

The world has always been difficult, especially in the world of immortality.

The status of mortals, especially mortal women, in the world of immortality is like the status of five spiritual roots and low spiritual values ​​in the Jade Qing Sect.

No, maybe even worse.

So she would not easily feel pity for Qin Liuyi and the others, but she would pity Lan Xiu.

She could also see the angry burning desire in Lan Xiu's eyes.

If Lan Xiu had spiritual roots, I believe she would have practiced even harder than her.

[I see, it seems that Youyou is really kind! 】

Qu Xinyou remained silent and did not speak.

This pity is just her arrogance.

Because she has a way to become stronger, she has the leisure to feel compassion for Lan Xiu.

It didn't take long for Qu Xinyou to arrive outside the dense forest.

Looking from outside the dense forest, you can only see the scene within a hundred feet of the dense forest at most, and further inside it seems to be obscured by something and cannot be seen clearly.

Qu Xinyou took out the detoxifying pill and the clearing heart pill from the spirit jade space, swallowed them, and walked into the dense forest.
