“Ick… I am all bloody again….” Yuki frowned as she plucked another soul from a corpse. She felt very sticky. She knew she would be picking the blood out of her tails for a week.

“We can fully wash up when we get home.” Nana was no different. Her massive sword was slicing people in half the long way. She was like Yuki gaurdian. Any time someone came close to Yuki while she was killing others, she would swing her sword and slice them in half. 

Haruhi looked at the two blood soaked girls who were digging the loot out of the corpses and complaining about being soaked in blood and wondered just what she should say.  “We will be hitting the village tomorrow. And then we will head home after. For now, you two can wash up in the river that is on the way.”

“Okay…” Yuki was not caring about her face and clothes but her tails! She could feel the stickiness in her fluff. It was not very comfortable!

Haruhi also knew Yuki wanted to wash her tails. She could see the matted tails that had been caked in dried blood and then soaked again and felt a bit of pity for her. But there was nothing she could do since Yuki was hiding her real appearance. 

“Yuki, when we get back, I will make sure to fluff you good,” Nana whispered. Of course, her words had double meanings. Yuki also knew this, but she had no issues with her dragon girl fluffing her.

“It’s a promise, then,” Yuki replied as she poked Nana’s side. Nana’s lips curled up. Only her Yuki could make her smile! 

After washing up a bit to clean their face and hair, Yuki and Nana felt a little bit better. Yuki had to admit this mission had been quite good for her. She had gained a lot from the souls she had consumed. It was nice having her dantian now merged. It was much bigger and could hold a lot more spiritual qi and demonic qi than a normal dantian. While this was good, it also meant she needed more of both qis in order to break through to a new level. The only thing that was offsetting this was her dual cultivation method.

During the night, Yuki hugged Nana and enjoyed a good night’s sleep. Haruhi was nice enough to stay on night watch. Silvia also stayed up to watch over the two. She had been holding back, but she also wanted to be hugged by Yuki. Even earlier, when she watched Yuki slaughter epople she couldn’t take her eyes off her. She felt a strong sense of longing when it came to Yuki that she had never felt before.

She did not understand these emotions, but she did wish to hold on tight to Yuki. She wished she was in Nana’s position. When this thought came to mind, Silvia frowned slightly. She did not know what it meant to be in Nana’s position!

When the next morning came, everyone packed up camp and left without eating breakfast. They were close to the village now. They would have camped right outside of it if not for the rogue cultivators who suddenly showed up. Whether they showed up early or a bit later, it did not matter.

By midday, they had finally reached the village entrance. Haruhi did not have them enter right away. Instead, she left Yuki and Nana in charge while she went into the village to talk to the village chief. 

“Halt!” The guard at the entrance of the village quickly stopped Haruhi before she could enter.

“Senior, my name is Haruhi, I am the personal disciple of the Heavenly Cloud Sect’s sect master, I am here to speak with Chief Furukawa. I need him to abide by the pact.” Haruhi showed her token. 

When the guard saw the token, he frowned slightly and looked at the people not far away.  “Hold on…..”

Seeing how she was not let in right away, Haruhi wrinkled her brow. She had a bad feeling all of a sudden. Sure enough, not long later, her bad feeling came to fruition. Three guards walked out of the village. “I am sorry. The village chief said he will not see you.”

“No, he has no choice but to see me,” Haruhi stated firmly. “The pact is something that was agreed on between my sect and your village chief for many generations. Otherwise, you would not have been able to stick around all these years since you are protected by the sect.”

“Look, little girl, the village chief told us to tell you to leave. So you need to leave. We do not want to make things ugly for you. Take it as our respect for your sect.” The leader of the guards replied. He had a somewhat arrogant attitude as he spoke.

“I see…. So it will be the hard way, then. It seems your village needs to learn that our sect is not a place you can make use of for your own convenience. I guess this is good since I haven’t had a chance to stretch my legs since I came out. My junior sisters have been doing all the killing.” Haruhi smiled as her eyes opened wide. Her pupils began to change into stars and started to spin. 

The guard leader quickly went on guard when he heard what Haruhi had said, but he suddenly found himself unable to move. He could only look at the young girl in front of him  in horror as she said: “Burst!”
