Miss Loser is too enchanting

The people from the Refiners Guild also came out and said, "Thank you, miss." Then, they stood together with the people from the Alchemist Guild.

Afterward, the others gradually stood up, except for two people from the Beast Tamer Guild who didn’t come over.

"Looking at her, she might be in league with those monsters, otherwise how could she absorb that black smoke?" one person said.

Another person agreed, "Right. Just look at her relationship with Dugu Qianye, it’s quite good. And since our Beast Tamer Guild has a grudge against her, it’s hard to say whether she will help Dugu Qianye deal with us. Besides, I don’t feel anything uncomfortable right now."

Baili Ruyan glanced at those two and then turned to the others, "Now, all of you sit cross-legged on the ground, and I will draw out the death Qi from your bodies. You will feel some discomfort, but do not resist and let the death Qi flow out following my guidance."

Those people obediently sat down, and Baili Ruyan weaved through them, making a cut on each person’s right wrist. Whatever method she used, no one’s wrist bled.

Zi Xiao and others came next to Dugu Qianye and, seeing Baili Ruyan moving among the crowd, Qie Yue couldn’t help but say, "A dance of the immortals, though a black one."

"Pfft-" Dugu Qianye was amused by Qie Yue’s words.

During these past two days, everyone had realized that Baili Ruyan was not a very warm person; on the contrary, she was somewhat aloof. Of course, that was when she faced them, but towards Dugu Qianye, it was as if a millennium of accumulated snow had suddenly melted. Besides, Baili Ruyan’s methods against those eerie beings were never gentle, so they all had an indescribable feeling about her. Now, Qie Yue’s comment about the black immortal seemed to echo their current sentiments.

After Baili Ruyan finished with everyone, she rose above the crowd, linked her wrists, formed several seals with her fingers, and strands of black mist came out.

The two watchers from the Beast Tamer Guild saw Baili Ruyan injecting the black mist into those people and yelled, "Look, look, she really is trying to turn everyone into dried corpses!"

Hearing the strange shouts, Dugu Qianye released a wave of spiritual power towards them, sending them flying far away, and snapped, "Shut up!"

The two had not expected Dugu Qianye to suddenly attack them, and they hit the ground hard. Although they hated Dugu Qianye to death in their hearts, they dared not say anything more and quietly stood up after getting up.

"Bitch, we’ll definitely settle the score with her once we’re out of here!" one of them muttered under their breath.

"And who knows where the Miss and the others are now. Just the two of us can’t match her," another said as he spat out the blood in his mouth.

Soon, the black mist began to emanate from the cuts on their wrists, evidently denser than the amount Baili Ruyan had introduced into their bodies. Those who were severely affected, with their complexions slightly turning black, were now back to normal.

Baili Ruyan collected all the black mist and landed on the ground, saying, "It’s done."

Only then did those people open their eyes. The weak and powerless feeling from before was gone, and knowing that Baili Ruyan had successfully cleansed the death Qi from their bodies, they stood up and thanked her again.

Baili Ruyan nodded and returned to Dugu Qianye’s side.

"What are your plans next?" Dugu Qianye asked Lian Feng and the others.

After thinking for a bit, Lian Feng said, "We want to follow you, if that’s possible?"

"Yes, Miss Qianye, we want to follow you. Please take us with you," another disciple from an aristocratic family said.

Although they had been rescued this time, who knew what the next time would be like, it was still safer to stick with Dugu Qianye.

"I am going to the dry lands in the west to look for Fuyu Flowers. If you come with me, I’m afraid we might not encounter anything good," Dugu Qianye said.

"What’s the use of treasures if we’re dead?" someone said.

That made sense, and those who previously were hesitant to join Dugu Qianye now chimed in, "Miss Qianye, please take us with you? If we can get out safely this time, we will surely repay you in the future." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Dugu Qianye was about to say something when her attention was drawn by two screams of agony.

Everyone looked towards the source of the screams, only to see that two members of the Beast Trainer Guild were being eroded by the Death Qi, unable to bear the pain, they cried out.

Their agonizing condition made everyone present clench in cold sweat. If they had not stepped forward just now, their fate would have been the same as those two.

Seeing their state, everyone was even more resolved to follow Dugu Qianye.

"You can come with us if you want, but later on we’ll have to confront the leaders of those spectral creatures, and it will probably lead to a battle," Baili Ruyan said.

Hearing Baili Ruyan’s words, a few people began to waver. It seemed inevitable that they would encounter those spectral creatures, and what if they could not protect them?

"Miss Qianye, we would like to look elsewhere," someone cautiously suggested.

With someone taking the lead, it became easier for others to speak up. However, those who chose to leave were still in the minority.

Dugu Qianye wasn’t surprised by the departure of these people; after all, following her and Ruyan meant that battle was inevitable. If they went out on their own, perhaps they could avoid it, and maybe even encounter some stroke of fortune. She looked at them and said, "Next time you encounter those creatures, use fire attacks. Only Fire Spiritual Techniques are effective against them, anything else is a waste of strength."

"Thank you, Miss Qianye, for the advice. Then we shall take our leave," one person said bowing to Dugu Qianye, then led his people away on their mounts.

Dugu Qianye looked at the remaining people and said, "Then you come along with me. Perhaps we will encounter something on the way. Moreover, when the time comes to deal with these scum, you will also have the opportunity to seek out your fortunes."

"Ah——"

The screams of agony continued from over there; soon the two became two lumps of charred remains. Everyone expected such an outcome; it was the result of their choices, after all!

Before long, the two stopped breathing, and Dugu Qianye walked over to burn their bodies with a fire. As they burned, a black mist could be seen struggling inside, finally disappearing.

"Let’s go," Baili Ruyan said, coming up to Dugu Qianye’s side. "We are about to reach their lair. A greater war awaits us."

Dugu Qianye nodded and said, "Our legend is set to continue!"

As they moved further west, the number of spectral creatures increased, and everyone gradually discovered more effective ways to deal with them. Seeing the spectral creatures emerge in groups from time to time, everyone knew they were getting closer and closer to their lair.
