Mei Gui and I silently moved from the bushes, and immediately locked onto our first target, a monster resembling a human male. It was the one furthest away from the store and just happened to be alone, so we decided to assassinate it here without causing too much of a ruckus. From behind a tree, I tossed a stone directly behind the monster, making it turn around and look around, bloodthirst in its eyes.
"Grr..." it growled deeply, carefully checking its surroundings. However, it wouldn't be able to for much longer.
Mei Gui leapt out of cover, as swift as a cougar, and impaled the poor monster's neck with her flaming spear before it could even react. She had aimed it perfectly so that the spear pierced through the monster's vocal chords, meaning it couldn't call for help from its companions before falling to the ground, limp.
Heya guys! Cyclxne here.
I'm not going to write much since it's getting pretty late over here, so I'll keep it short. For those of you who didn't read the little note I put beside Li Mu Shen's use of the term 'Ying'Er' a few chapters back (it also appeared again in this chapter), I'll explain what that means here.
In Chinese, adding a 'Er' to someone's name is like a more affectionate way of addressing them, usually from parent to child or from a male to a female in a lover duo. In this case, it's the latter. Too bad Lan Gui Ying doesn't actually love him back in the least, as shown here in her little monologue. Oh, but she's still a bitch. And I don't like bitches. And I'm the author, aka the god of this novel. And so basically I'll probably perhaps mayhaps possibly maybe make her die.
I'm pretty sure most other authors aren't like me. I'm fairly certain they don't just go 'oh, hey, you know what? Yeah, let's kill this guy. And that girl. Oh, and this kid too. Yep!"
But hey, I could be wrong. Author syndrome, anyone?
Anyway, that's all from me for now!
And as always, I'll see you guys in the next chapter~
