Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor

Was it because of the people she had killed?

She thought to herself: She had killed those people in one move, clean and swiftly. Those people had been Nascent Soul devilry cultivators. Surely they wouldn’t suspect that it was her.

As night fell, occasional screams could be heard through the darkness. No one had spent the whole night resting. After a short rest, they continued on their journey.

It was easy to get lost when walking in the night. Of course, the further into the forest they went, the more dangerous it became as well. Feng Jiu walked along in her group of seven, and gradually their numbers increased to ten and then thirty.

Maybe because there were so many of them, they were all vigilant and a little wary of each other. After all, they didn’t know each other, nor did they know what everyone was like. They had come together as a group for survival and to support each other. However, they didn’t know whether they would stay together in moments of danger, nor could they guarantee that the people around them wouldn’t push them out into the face of danger to protect themselves.

Feng Jiu followed the group and was definitely the most ordinary looking one and didn’t stand out at all. While everyone was resting, she sat in a corner and ate some grass she had found from somewhere.

In the eyes of those people who didn’t understand, they thought that she was so hungry that she had no choice but to eat grass. What they didn’t know was that she was eating a type of wild grass that could help bind her stomach.

“Here, for you.” Bi San took out a green coloured fruit the size of an egg from somewhere and passed it to Feng Jiu.

However, out of nowhere, a hand reached out and stopped him.

“It’s wasted giving it to that young boy to eat, you might as well give it to me.” A strong man said and took the fruit. He was about to eat it when Bi San stared at the man and reached out to stop the man’s hand.

“Who gave it to you? Give it back!” When he tried to take the fruit back, that man suddenly attacked him. Bi San retaliated immediately and the two of them started fighting.

If this was in the past, no one would have cared for a fruit. However, ever since they had been locked up in the square, other than training daily, they were never given enough food to eat. Not to mention after they had entered the forest and exerted themselves physically, they didn’t have water to drink, nor food to eat. Naturally, a fruit in their eyes meant a big deal at this moment in time.

After the surrounding people looked at them, they glanced at Feng Jiu. They were surprised that the two of them had started fighting over a piece of fruit, and were even more surprised that the man gave the precious piece of fruit to this young boy. After all, the young boy was probably the weakest person out of all of them.

Even if he were to follow their group through the forest, it was unlikely that he would survive till the end. It was as that man had said, a waste to give the piece of fruit to this young boy.

Feng Jiu continued to eat the grass, and the sourness of the grass was refreshing in her mouth. Her gaze swept over the surrounding people surreptitiously and took in their expressions one by one. Finally, her gaze fell on the two men fighting.

To be honest, she was also surprised that Bi San had given her the piece of fruit. There was no wild game in this forest, and not even a wild fruit in sight. She wasn’t sure where he had gotten the piece of fruit, but rather than eat it himself, he had offered it to her.

The other person, though, really opened her eyes. After all, he was a Golden Core cultivator, and yet he still fought over the piece of fruit?
