Chapter 23

Seeing the look on Hu Meier's face, Hu Donghan sighed and said, "Girl, are you still playing around?"

At this moment, Hu Meier suddenly moved and stood in front of Hu Donghan again. She patted Hu Donghan's forehead and said in a coquettish voice, "Brat, how many times have I told you to call me Sister!"

Sis... Sister?

Immediately, a series of sounds, like jaws dropping to the ground, echoed around. The woman before them, who looked like a celestial being, was actually the sister of Hu Donghan, who had just been sentenced to 'death' by the Enforcement Hall? This... The difference in appearance between this brother and sister was too great, wasn't it?

As for the three Enforcement Hall disciples, their faces turned as ugly as they could be—what was going on here? We just sentenced this celestial being's brother to such a severe punishment? Now, wouldn't we be hated to death by this celestial being? If we had known this kid had such a beautiful sister, a verbal warning would have been enough...

While the three Enforcement Hall disciples were looking grim, there was still a fool nearby.

When Mu Zhengfeng heard Hu Meier claim to be Hu Donghan's sister, his small eyes flashed with lust, and he said arrogantly, "Hu Donghan, I didn't expect you to have such a beautiful sister. If she's willing to sleep with me, I'll let you off this time..."

Before Mu Zhengfeng could finish his sentence, he felt a flash of light before his eyes, and then he saw someone suddenly appear in front of him. When Mu Zhengfeng came to his senses, he realized that Hu Donghan was standing in front of him. In front of Hu Donghan, Hu Meier had a long sword in her hand, which was now pressing against Hu Donghan's chest.

"Little brother? What are you doing? Let me kill him!" Hu Meier slightly withdrew her sword, her beautiful eyes filled with terrifying killing intent, staring at Mu Zhengfeng.

Hu Donghan shook his head and said, "No, I have to kill him!" If Mu Zhengfeng hadn't said those filthy words, Hu Donghan would have let Hu Meier kill Mu Zhengfeng without a second thought. However, since Mu Zhengfeng dared to speak so crudely, Hu Donghan had to step forward—his childhood bride being disrespected in front of him, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing if he wanted to be considered a man!

Hu Meier raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "I want to kill him too!"

Hu Donghan immediately replied, "Then let's do it together."

"Fine." Hu Meier listened to Hu Donghan and then made her long sword disappear.

Hu Donghan and Hu Meier discussed killing someone right in front of so many people, including the seven Enforcement Hall disciples, showing just how audacious they were.

Hu Donghan and Hu Meier had grown up together, and he knew her character better than anyone. The Yin Soul Sect had strict laws, and Hu Meier would never dare to kill someone in front of so many people without being absolutely sure. If she acted, it meant she was completely confident that no one would dare to investigate.

In public and in private, Hu Meier appeared gentle and weak, but Hu Donghan knew that anyone who underestimated her would likely die without knowing how.

When they were young, their family was destroyed, and Hu Donghan and Hu Meier had to beg and wander. At that time, Hu Meier was six years old, and Hu Donghan was only three. To some people, these two children were as adorable as two little pigs!

At that time, Hu Donghan made the plans, and Hu Meier carried them out. When they killed the first person who had evil intentions towards them, Hu Meier held the murder weapon, her hands covered in blood, and cried uncontrollably; Hu Donghan, however, watched coldly.

Then, under Hu Donghan's planning, Hu Meier killed one enemy after another, and her heart became increasingly ruthless and cruel with each killing. Only in front of Hu Donghan did Hu Meier let down her guard.

The most people Hu Meier ever killed was when a group of bandits captured them and planned to cook and eat them the next day. That night, Hu Meier, with the poison Hu Donghan had prepared, poisoned the only well in the bandit camp. By noon the next day, all the bandits in the camp, except for the leader who had cultivated inner strength, were dead. The leader, heavily poisoned, chased after Hu Donghan and Hu Meier but was trapped by the traps they had set. The leader's inner strength was so profound that a child's strength could only barely pierce his skin. In the end, Hu Donghan and Hu Meier each took a small knife and slowly cut the leader's neck until he was dead.

That time, Hu Meier killed more than five hundred people.

That year, Hu Meier was only eight years old, and Hu Donghan was only five.

After many hardships, Hu Donghan and Hu Meier finally met their current adoptive parents and settled down. However, the personalities they had developed from a young age never changed.

Later, when the Yin Soul Sect recruited disciples, Hu Meier was found to have a high-quality ghost spirit root, shocking the entire Yin Soul Sect.

A ghost spirit root was the most suitable for cultivating ghost techniques. In the history of the Yin Soul Sect, there had been two ghost spirit root cultivators, both of whom became Core Formation experts, showing how terrifying a ghost spirit root could be.

To compete for Hu Meier, Core Formation and Nascent Soul elders fought, and in the end, a Core Formation expert from the Yin Soul Sect took Hu Meier as a disciple, finally ending the chaos. Hu Donghan vaguely remembered that the Core Formation elder who took Hu Meier as a disciple was named Shihun!

Hu Meier's master was the head of the Yin Soul Sect's Enforcement Hall! This was Hu Meier's true backing!

After Hu Donghan and Hu Meier finished their discussion, Mu Zhengfeng finally reacted and shouted, "Uncles, they want to kill me! They want to kill me! You all saw it!"

The seven Enforcement Hall disciples finally came to their senses from the shock, exchanged glances, and one of them stepped forward and said, "Sister, you intended to harm a fellow disciple. According to the sect's laws..."

"According to the sect's laws, what is the punishment for a male disciple who insults a female disciple?" Hu Meier interrupted, her eyes narrowing, and she asked coldly.

The Enforcement Hall disciple was intimidated by Hu Meier's aura and instinctively answered, "Depending on the situation, it can be one lash, five lashes, fifteen lashes, fifty lashes, or... execution!"

"If a disciple disrespects a senior, what is the punishment?" Hu Meier asked again before the disciple could recover, her voice cold.

The disciple continued, "Disrespecting a senior, depending on the situation, can be five lashes, twenty lashes, one hundred lashes, execution, or... soul extraction, corpse water, and soul lamp."

Hu Meier's face turned cold, and she took out a pale black token from her waist, holding it in front of the disciple's eyes and asked coldly, "Then tell me, what should be the punishment for this person insulting me?"

The disciple glanced at the token in Hu Meier's hand, his face changed drastically, and he felt his legs go weak, almost kneeling down—

"This... This is actually..."
