Chapter 81

Chapter 24: The Girl with the Scythe

Under the moonlight that enveloped the cemetery, the age of the long-lived race could not be accurately judged by appearance; perhaps the seemingly young one had already lived for several centuries...

"Annoying demon hunter!" The clear voice revealed her true thoughts at the moment; she slightly pulled back the scythe, gently smoothed her hair that was blown by the night wind, and revealed a smile that mixed the sweetness of a girl with the bloodlust of a butcher, exuding a bewitching charm; she stared at Ye Qi in front of her: "Who are you here for?"

"Just passing by!" Ye Qi shrugged, the bell on the handle of the Yama blade rang clearly; however, his words clearly did not satisfy everyone present, and the witch walked over gracefully: "You were following me?"

"Following? Aren't you overestimating your charm a bit?" Looking at the witch who smiled but whose eyes gradually became sharp, even her glasses could not hide it, Ye Qi sneered and pointed to the black-robed priest on the ground—his previous search had already proven his words: "Even if you do have the charm to attract men, you can't deny that I came here first!"

"Do you know each other?" The blood girl looked at the witch in surprise, then suddenly laughed lightly: "So, Bexika, you like this type! And a demon hunter at that, many people will be heartbroken!"

"The feelings of an older sister are not something a little girl like you can understand!" The witch swayed her waist and showed off her sexy figure, which became even more impressive in front of the blood girl's slender and flat figure; when she saw the blood girl's face stiffen slightly, she proudly threw a palm-sized wooden box to her: "The goods are delivered, do you need me to take care of the extras?"

"I will pay the remaining fee, as for the extras?" The blood girl checked the seal on the wooden box, then, holding the scythe that was taller than herself, walked to the black-robed priest: "A living executioner is much more valuable than a dead one..."

Hired?

Ye Qi narrowed his eyes and scanned the two women in front of him, secretly speculating on their relationship, gradually piecing together the main thread—this time the witch appeared in the mechanical town not specifically to find Dikais for his firearms, but to complete the blood girl's commission; and the people from the Church chasing her were also after the wooden box, but they had clearly been outsmarted; so, what was in the box?

Was it secret information? Or a holy relic?

Money definitely wouldn't be in the box; even if it were full of Kempston, it wouldn't attract the Church people like mad dogs. Of course, diamonds and gems wouldn't qualify either—Ye Qi's guess about the contents of the box flashed through his mind, and he refocused his gaze on the blood girl who had already knocked out the black-robed priest.

The holy relic she had taken from the black-robed priest was still on her left wrist—the allure of the holy relic was enough to make her snatch it, even if it wasn't suitable for her. After all, trading an unsuitable holy relic for a suitable one wasn't too difficult; it was much easier than obtaining a holy relic, right?

"I'm out!" To Ye Qi's surprise, the witch spoke before the blood girl could react; she shook the purple gun in her hand and shook her head indifferently: "That kind of inferior toy isn't suitable for me!"

"Since it's on my hand, I won't give it up!" Ye Qi said firmly, glancing at the witch without lowering his guard, even after she indicated she didn't want it—lying wasn't an unforgivable sin in the dark world, and if it could bring the greatest benefit, they wouldn't mind saying it a thousand times; he turned to the blood girl and smiled: "What about you?"

"Whoosh!"

The scythe's swing clearly conveyed her meaning. The scythe danced in the blood girl's hands, creating blood-colored circles; countless withered leaves and grass were swept up and crushed, the powder flying with the scythe like a swarm of death locusts buzzing in the death god's tremor, eager to devour life...

"Clang!"

A cold, sharp light appeared under the moonlight, breaking through the blood-colored circle, the Yama blade clashed with the scythe, sparks flying; with the center of the collision of their weapons, the powder immediately scattered in all directions, the misty powder turning the bright moonlight gray, making the entire cemetery look as if it had suddenly fogged up; in the gray moonlight, a green flame suddenly ignited beside the blood girl, breaking through the fog-like encirclement and rapidly spreading towards Ye Qi.

"Boom!"

A scorching fireball intercepted the cold green flame, the different colored flames colliding instantly created an extraordinary scene—red and green flames devoured and merged each other, like entangled lovers, bursting with heat that could melt everything around them...

"What? You're giving up?" Ye Qi, who had summoned another fireball, raised an eyebrow when he saw the blood girl suddenly jump out of the circle, staring at her: "Or are you preparing for the second round?"

"This time I have something else to do, consider yourself lucky!" The blood girl, who suddenly gave up, did not admit defeat: "But next time, I will definitely take everything back with interest!"

"Anytime!"

Ye Qi watched her rapidly retreating figure and shrugged indifferently—he now had a rough understanding of her strength: although she was strong, fast, and had magical abilities, she was not a threat to him; he guessed she had also realized this. If they continued fighting, her bat wings would likely become his collection; of course, the box in her arms would not be spared either.

If you don't take what is offered, even the gods will despise you, right?

"Was she your client?" Ye Qi turned to the witch standing not far away, very curious: "Can you tell me what's in the box?"

"Of course! Witches need money too!" The witch took out a red lollipop, licked it lightly with her tongue, then put it in her mouth; Ye Qi, watching her, felt a slight heat in his heart and turned his head away, unable to look at the witch; the witch, noticing Ye Qi's action, laughed triumphantly: "Ha! Our demon hunter is blushing! Although your expression is cute, as a hired hand, I must keep my client's secrets! Losing credibility can lead to starvation, unless..."
