28: Blood Shadow Body Technique

As Hong Yu narrated, Wild Goose Descending's fingers constantly slid across his throat, her cold, sharp nails leaving red marks on his skin.

After he finished speaking, Wild Goose Descending slowly opened her mouth: "Young Master, you don't need to tell me all this. This servant girl isn't an Enforcement Disciple. What you do Inside the Mansion is your own business, but..."

Wild Goose Descending's tone shifted abruptly. Her originally smiling, pretty face instantly turned icy as she grabbed Hong Yu's throat and demanded: "Even if you kill people to practice, it's impossible for the Blood Slaughter Sword Technique to reach such a Realm within just ten days. What other secret are you hiding?"

A sinister chill transmitted from Wild Goose Descending's jade-like hand. The bone-piercing cold slowed Hong Yu's thinking, and a faint layer of frost condensed all over his skin.

Sensing Wild Goose Descending's undisguised killing intent, a sudden inspiration flashed in Hong Yu's mind. With difficulty, he spoke: "Have you forgotten your mistress's instructions to you? She only told you to come check my practice progress. She certainly didn't tell you to kill me!"

Upon hearing these words, a look of struggle appeared on Wild Goose Descending's face, followed by a twisting of her delicate features. The whole person seemed to fall into extreme agony.

Her palm exerted force, directly flinging Hong Yu's entire body away. She then fell to the ground, writhing in pain, very much like a live fish thrown onto the shore.

After a good while, Wild Goose Descending's struggles stopped. She got up with difficulty, her eyes staring blankly at Hong Yu. The previous seductiveness was gone from her tone, replaced by endless coldness as she said icily: "You'd best quickly anger the mistress and have her hand you over to me. When that time comes, hehehe..."

Wild Goose Descending let out a sick laugh, her sinister gaze clearly indicating ill intentions.

Hong Yu also stood up, not daring to offend this madwoman any further. He could only force a dry laugh before standing still in place.

Seeing Hong Yu didn't respond, Wild Goose Descending instantly returned to her previous state of smiling broadly. Softly, she said: "However, Young Master, even if you don't anger the mistress, your fate probably won't be much better. Once the Blood Slaughter Sword Technique is mastered, you will be accompanied by killing intent for life. From then on, you can only keep on killing. The moment you stop, the killing intent will immediately backlash. But even if you can keep killing, the killing intent will eventually grow stronger and stronger until you can no longer suppress it. In the end, becoming a mindless, tireless killing machine can be said to be your final destination."

After finishing, Wild Goose Descending glanced at Hong Yu. Seeing his eyes vacant and face pale, clearly frightened, she smiled with satisfaction.

But how could she know that Hong Yu didn't care at all about what she said. At present, the massive Spirit Stone debt already had him overwhelmed, and there was also this capricious madwoman. If her cultivation wasn't so high, he would have definitely taught her a lesson. Right now, he just wanted to quickly send Wild Goose Descending away, so he maintained this state without speaking, hoping she would leave on her own once she was done talking.

Seeing Hong Yu was already scared stiff, Wild Goose Descending clung to his body again and said in a coquettish voice: "Young Master seems very troubled. However, This servant girl still has one more thing to instruct you."

Hong Yu said solemnly: "What other matter does the lady have?"

After pulling out a book scroll from who knows where, Wild Goose Descending directly placed it inside Hong Yu's chest area and said: "The mistress said, if you mastered the Blood Slaughter Sword Technique, I should give this to you and tell you: master it within one week, otherwise, die!"

The long-absent System notification sounded in Hong Yu's mind. The unfamiliar Technique from the outside world began to be recorded, and Hong Yu also curiously took out this book scroll.

The scroll's material was identical to the one recording the Blood Slaughter Sword Technique. The cover bore four large characters: 'Blood Shadow Movement Technique'. It was clearly a matching Cultivation Technique for the Blood Slaughter Sword Technique. Flipping through the contents more carefully, apart from the diagrams he understood, the characters inside were still unrecognizable!

After carefully putting away the scroll, Hong Yu said earnestly: "Please rest assured, lady. I will definitely practice diligently and not disappoint the Saintess."

"Hehe, I'm actually quite looking forward to you failing," Wild Goose Descending gave a cold laugh, then transformed into a mist and left Hong Yu.

Seeing the other party seemed to be leaving, Hong Yu hurriedly said: "Since the lady's business is done, I won't detain you any longer. After all, time is tight, and I still have to go complete the task assigned by the Saintess."

Originally intending to leave, Wild Goose Descending suddenly clung to Hong Yu again. Her beautiful face materialized within the mist, wearing a look of grievance as she said: "Is Young Master so unwelcoming of This servant girl? Indeed, This servant girl is of humble appearance, how can I compare to the mistress's celestial beauty and jade-like complexion. It's normal for Young Master to look down on me."

Hearing this, Hong Yu felt his scalp go numb. This Wild Goose Descending's personality was truly too unpredictable. So he could only quickly say: "Lady, please don't belittle yourself. You are also very beautiful. One could say compared to the Saintess, it's like plum blossoms and orchids in autumn, each excelling in its own field."

"Really?"

"Really!"

Seeing a smile appear on Wild Goose Descending's face, Hong Yu knew he had said the right thing. After all, no woman dislikes praise for her beauty.

But Wild Goose Descending's next sentence sent Hong Yu's heart plummeting to the depths.

Wild Goose Descending raised a piece of jade in her hand and said with a smiling face: "This servant girl has recorded Young Master's words. I will now go back and report them truthfully to the mistress. Young Master, you look decent on the outside, but who would have thought you're essentially a lecherous scoundrel at heart."

Hearing this, Hong Yu gritted his teeth in frustration. Even a fool could guess what Xu Jing's reaction would be upon hearing these words. He just wanted to slap himself hard—why did he have to run his mouth!

Wild Goose Descending, however, was in high spirits and added: "But This servant girl is in a rather good mood now. I can permit Young Master to ask one question. This servant girl will certainly hold nothing back and speak exhaustively. Doesn't Young Master want to know how to resolve the hidden dangers of the Blood Slaughter Sword Technique?"

Her voice was soft and seductive, but to Hong Yu, it sounded like a demon's whisper. Still, he asked the question he cared about most: "Does the lady know how to earn ninety thousand Spirit Stones in a short time?"

"Giggle..." A silvery laugh rang out. "Young Master, why trouble yourself with such trivial matters? This amount of Spirit Stones, you just need to ask the mistress for them."

"..."

Hong Yu was speechless. If he could ask Xu Jing for them, what would he be worrying about?

Before he could ask again, Wild Goose Descending had already gone far away. The surrounding scenery blurred, then gradually cleared.

Only then did Hong Yu discover to his surprise that he was lying straight on his bed. Everything around him had returned to its familiar appearance.

If not for the scroll in his embrace and the System's notification sound, he would have thought everything that just happened was merely a dream.

"Ding, unfamiliar Technique recording complete. Please name it, Host."

"Blood Shadow Movement Technique."

"Blood Shadow Movement Technique named successfully."

Hong Yu looked at the panel, sighing and lamenting. He had to find another chance to use this damned System.
