Offering Salted Fish To Master - Chapter 9

The squad leader led the comrades to greet the ancestor, “I have seen the master.”

Liao Tingyan followed the crowd and glanced forward curiously, only to see a horribly white foot.

This person stepped barefoot on the dark ground, with cyan blood vessels faintly exposed under his skin. Next to his barefoot, he dragged a black patterned overcoat hem. When the hem of the shirt flicked slightly, his other foot was exposed. Liao Tingyan found a red thread tied to his left ankle. There was a wooden Buddhist bead on the red thread.

Somehow, the thin red thread gave her a thrilling feeling, and she was almost out of breath.

The ancestor above suddenly stood up, and Liao Tingyan saw him coming towards her. His feet looming in the black clothes finally stopped in front of her—the Shijie next to her.

“So bold!”

After this sentence, some liquid had splashed on her body, and the bright red thick blood spread on the black smooth ground, soaking the white skirt spread by Liao Tingyan next to it.

Supporting role Liao Tingyan who was kneeling beside him: “…”

Not anymore.

I can’t make it.

I’m going to die! I’m so scared! 

She felt like vomiting a little, but in her mind she realized very clearly that if she vomited it out now, it might cause terrible consequences, so she swallowed it subconsciously.

Damn, it felt disgusting!

The Shijie’s body fell softly beside Liao Tingyan. She watched the Shijie’s face slowly change and became another person in the blink of an eye. 

Ok?

Someone nearby exclaimed, “This, this is not Shijie Wan Ling, who is this?”

Others were panicked, “How did this person get in and no one found out?”

The ancestor who had just killed the person, stepped on the corpse and stopped in front of Liao Tingyan.

Liao Tingyan: “…” Is he looking at me? No, ancestor, don’t look at me!

“Bold.”

Upon hearing this, Liao Tingyan’s whole body was half cold. Before the unknown sister next to her was killed, this ancestor seemed to have said this too.

But why was she bold? She didn’t do anything at all! The granddaughter was wronged!

It was like before the injection, because she knew that the needle was about to be pierced, her whole body would have tight nerves. She was in this state now. Her concentration was very high, and she was waiting for the pain to come.

After a while, he held her chin and raised her face.

When the pale and cold hand touched her chin, Liao Tingyan’s entire body stood upright, and the cold sweat came from her back instantly, just like when the big black snake crawled past her.

She was forced to look up stiffly, and finally saw the appearance of the ancestor.

She guessed wrong before. He turned out to be a little boy.

His skin was white like snow, his hair was black like ink, and his lips were red like blood. This description sounded like Snow White.

Liao Tingyan looked into his eyes. A moment later, not a long time later, the ancestor let go of her chin and sat back where he was. He looked fine before, but then his face was painful and irritable, and there was a red mark on the corner of his eyes.

“Get out, get out!” He suddenly shouted and frightened everyone. The girls lost their color and hurriedly went back. Even the big black snake seemed to pinch its tail in fear, and bit the corpse that had not completely cooled down. Following the big black snake, the troops went out together.

Did this ancestor have a mental illness? 

Ok? Not dead?

Liao Tingyan raised her hand and wiped the sweat on her forehead, and saw the red on her palm when she put it down.

It was the blood splashed over when the girl next to her died.

Speaking of this, she looked at the big snake next to her. The big black snake was driven out by their ancestor along with them. At this moment, it bit a corpse and hesitated, but it didn’t hesitate for long. The corpse was swallowed.

Liao Tingyan: “…!”

She now reasonably suspected that the ancestor didn’t kill her just then because he wanted to keep her for tomorrow to feed her to the snake. Killing her on the spot would give him relatively fresh food.
