That head is not Squirrel's head, but Bai Wu's head. A clean slash... Blood seeped through the neck. Xie Yue dodged quickly and put his pants on.
Thud
With a sound, her body also fell...
Seeing her dead, Xie felt regret for two reasons, even though he was the one who killed her.
First, he could easily have killed her; he knew that only now. He didn't expect her to be this weak. He shouldn't have wasted his time acting, luring her away, and lastly, sneak attacking...
It was his first time killing a soul master. He didn't know if she had any trump cards to save her life. That's why he tried all that.
The second reason is he felt pity for her death.
"She is just an auxiliary soul master with a soul power level of 17. What life-saving trump card can there be? Sigh, anyway, being careful is never a bad habit," he said.
"And again... Mommy, do you know? I really didn't want to kill you. After all, you did take care of me. Though you watched me getting bullied at the orphanage, I can understand your reasons and plans. It's not a big crime that should be punished by death. Maybe I am regretting now, seeming hypocritical..."
"But the truth is I really don't care about that shit. I am a hypocrite indeed, but so what?
I bit the hand that fed me. So I am also ungrateful..."
"Even though I know these are bad traits of mine, I will still continue to be so. I have seen more of human nature. Maybe I have misunderstood them? That's also possible. But I really don't care anymore."
"Mommy... Do you think this character is my decision? No, this is what the world I came from made me be. This is what that world taught me to survive. That society created me, but after that, that society labeled me as a monster... I know you can't hear me. Even if you could hear me, you wouldn't understand my nature."
"Forget it... What I regret the most now is that I can't have your milk anymore. I don't think I am lucky enough to meet another soul master with an innate ability to produce milk from breasts like you. It's a pity to kill you indeed... Sigh."
He sighed, looking at her headless body... specifically at her breasts.
'I can't delay my time here. That little bug may come to search for me. I have to move fast,' he thought. He searched Bai Wu's body and took a bronze card and a bag of coins. In it were some gold coins and silver coins.
That card is worth 10,000 gold coins. It's her life savings. In her early days, she even worked for some high-ranking families... After all, they had no time to take care of their children. By working for them, she also earned quite a lot. So her savings are comparable to a great soul master.
After taking whatever he needed, he looked at her head.
"Hey, Mommy... You seem happy watching my little dragon?" In her eyes, there was no shock or anything like that. She died without knowing. In her last moments, she thought about his little member. She didn't even return to her senses. It is a good way to die.
After that, he walked out of the forest without looking back.

Here at the carriage... Hu Liena is sitting inside, thinking,
'Why haven't they come yet?'
As she looked out of the carriage, she saw her brother coming in her direction, walking leisurely.
He soon reached near her.
"Nana... Beat him," Xie Yue said to her as he pointed at the driver.
"Oh," she got down from the carriage and went near the driver to hit him.
The driver was really dumbfounded.
"What's happening here?" he asked himself loudly.
But what greeted him was Hu Liena's fist. Although she just waved her little fist at him cutely, it was still effective, as he soon had many bumps on his body. Although he tried to retaliate by attacking... how could a level 0 normal human pose a threat to a level 9 soul master? He never exercised his body. He was just a carriage driver.
After realizing he couldn't beat Hu Liena, he doubted his life, never expecting something like this to happen at all.
Are children these days so fierce?
Hu Liena also had her doubts about her brother's order... But she still obliged him; she believed her brother would tell her the reason. Her brother also taught her to 'act before asking.'
Xie Yue also had his reasons for asking Hu Liena to beat him. He wanted to test the results of his hard work. And he was very satisfied with her actions.
'After a year, she didn't even question me anymore.'
Soon that driver was beaten to a pulp.
Xie Yue came near him and said:
"Mama said she wants to return to the village. So she ordered you to take us to the Heaven Dou Empire."
"Do you think I am a fool? I can clearly see there is something wrong here," the driver said with a look of 'Do you think I don't have a brain?'
"Believing and not believing is your choice. But Mama said if you don't take us to Heaven Dou City, I can kill you," he said cutely, looking into his eyes. He also summoned his Moon Blades. Seeing the aura released by the blade, the driver trembled.
He also understood these children were really powerful, as their mother said to him earlier when boarding the carriage.
He changed his attitude immediately.
"I'll listen to you, young lord. Please spare me," he knelt down and bowed. Common people also know their place and how to survive in this brutal world.
Xie Yue really didn't want to use his brain on this simple matter. So he told him some nonsense like 'Mommy ran away.' Even if he gave a high-sounding reason, no one would believe him in this situation anyway. So he didn't bother using his brain.
What if the driver found his lie and didn't do as Xie Yue said?
The answer is simple. Xie Yue could just kill him. He would just have to go back and threaten another villager to take him to his destination.
He didn't know how to raid a carriage. If it weren't for this reason, this driver would have died in his hands already.

AN: I am really not that good with English. I will put in my efforts to improve, but that's all I can do. I already mentioned this in my first chapter, so please don't bother telling me again. Why hurt me by touching my sore spot?
