Fishing for Anomalous Creatures that feed on human blood and essence!

Lin Chen had Sun Erniang attend to the customers while he hid in a dark corner.

Before long, a customer arrived.

It was a Starved Ghost, its belly as large as a drum, its legs as thin as poles, and its throat as narrow as a needle. It wobbled into the shop.

Sun Erniang greeted it with a smile, "Esteemed guest, our establishment has good wine and good meat. If you desire snacks, we also have big steamed buns!"

However, the Starved Ghost ignored her and walked straight towards the cage of meat buns at the front of the hall.

As it turned out, this Starved Ghost was the lowest-class Anomalous Creature, possessing no intelligence and driven only by hunger.

Seeing that this first customer offered no "profit," Sun Erniang found it uninteresting.

She grabbed a Boning Knife from the workshop upstairs and moved forward.

Activating the Bone Chopping Saber Technique, she felled the Starved Ghost in a few strikes and collected a piece of materials: a Bloated Corpse (White).

Lin Chen wasn't in a hurry either. The night was long, and bigger fish would eventually come.

After felling several low-level Anomalous Creatures, a wave of Bloody Yin Wind suddenly swept through, invigorating Sun Erniang.

Having experienced countless bloody battles herself, Sun Erniang knew that a ruthless character who had also killed countless people must have arrived.

A tall woman in black bent down and entered the shop, her face completely covered by a hat and a mask.

Sun Erniang still greeted her with a smile, "Esteemed guest, are you here for some meat buns~"

The woman in black revealed only her wide, staring eyes and said, "Mmm, it smells delicious!"

Mother Yaksha asked, "Esteemed guest, how many would you like?"

The woman replied, "I have a big appetite. Give me as many as you have."

Sun Erniang smiled, "Please, feel free to eat to your heart's content. If it's not enough, I'll make more for you on the spot!"

Then, she brought out over a dozen steaming hot white meat buns and placed them on the table.

Sun Erniang stood by, waiting to see if the woman had any other requests.

The woman in black first took off her hat. Just as she was about to remove her mask, she said:

"Do you want to watch me eat? My eating can be a bit unsightly."

Sun Erniang replied, "If the esteemed guest has no further requests, I shall withdraw."

But the woman in black grabbed Sun Erniang's hand and pressed, "Why aren't you watching me anymore?! Do you look down on me?"

Resentment and eerie energy began to gather around the woman.

"You're not allowed to leave. You will watch me eat right here!"

Regardless of Sun Erniang's willingness, the tall woman proceeded to remove her mask...

revealing a massive, gaping slit that stretched from ear to ear!

This monstrous mouth split open like a winding, giant black centipede.

It was a Slit-Mouthed Woman!

Sun Erniang frowned, pulled her hand back, took a few steps back, and stared warily at the Slit-Mouthed Woman.

The Slit-Mouthed Woman ignored Sun Erniang for the moment, instead being drawn in by the fragrant meat buns on the table.

This was the effect of Sun Erniang's Skinning and Mincing; the "Ghost Meat Buns" she made were extremely enticing, capturing the female ghost's attention.

The Slit-Mouthed Woman picked up the entire large bowl. Her bloody maw opened like a black hole, swallowing all dozen-plus buns in one go!

What an appetite!

Next, the Slit-Mouthed Woman turned to Sun Erniang and asked:

"Do you think my eating is beautiful?"

Sun Erniang was already cursing inwardly, This damned ghost isn't seeking death, but is here to toy with me! It's like a moth flying into a flame, seeking to be burned!

"Is my eating beautiful?"

"Is my eating beautiful?"

"Is my eating beautiful?"

The Slit-Mouthed Woman pressed closer, her questions relentless!

The resentment on her body had reached its peak, and she was determined to get an answer!

Seeing that Sun Erniang still wouldn't answer her question, the Slit-Mouthed Woman began to transform.

She stretched her mouth to its widest, a ferocious visage threatening to devour, and lunged forward;

"Don't you think I'm ugly!? Then I'll make you look like this too!"

Sun Erniang clapped her hands, "Let me show you the skills of this establishment! Uncle, please act!"

The female ghost's mouth snapped shut, but it didn't bite Sun Erniang. Instead, it bit down on a Peach Wood Club that had been thrust out!

It was Wu Song, who had just been promoted to a Blue Card, who had made his move.

The peach wood's exorcism effect burned the Slit-Mouthed Woman's mouth, making it very hot, so she quickly spat it out.

Wu Song said coldly:

"After eating, did you pay?"

The Slit-Mouthed Woman, already extremely anomalous, ignored everything and opened her giant mouth wider, about to swallow Wu Song's entire head!

The next second, Wu Song knocked her out of the shop with a single blow.

Wu Song emerged, carrying his club, and said:

"My elder brother said no fighting inside the shop, for fear you couldn't afford to pay for any damaged furniture!"

This female anomaly then took out two blood-stained blades, drawing a semicircle in the air and slashing towards Wu Song's face;

Wu Song's footwork was agile, and he dodged sideways with a swing, then gathered his strength for a powerful blow;

Exorcism Heavy Club activated!

It struck the Slit-Mouthed Woman directly on the forehead, the power of dispelling evil rendering her disoriented.

Then, Wu Song dropped his club, grabbed the female anomaly, and said:

"Since you didn't bring money, you'll pay with your life!"

A few punches later, he beat the Slit-Mouthed Woman until her face was crooked and her eerie energy dispersed.

After Wu Song dealt with the female anomaly, Sun Erniang came out smiling and said, "Uncle, you've worked hard. Leave the rest to me."

The Mother Yaksha put away her two daggers, then picked up the Slit-Mouthed Woman's body, and couldn't help but exclaim, "So plump, this will make excellent filling!"

And so, Sun Erniang handled the customers, and Wu Song took action;

Any good materials were kept, while the inferior anomalous corpses were dragged by Sun Erniang to the second-floor 'Flesh Workshop' for processing into buns.

Killed fresh, made fresh, sold fresh!

Guaranteed fresh ingredients!

The front hall of 'Happy Forest' on the first floor also triggered the Flesh Fermentation trait: the wine vats absorbed the residual flesh and produced 2 portions of 'Burning Saber Fiendish Wine'.

Lin Chen discovered a business opportunity!

Ordinary anomalous creature corpses could be bought for a few thousand yuan per jin on the market;

However, 'Burning Saber Fiendish Wine', a Wine attribute item with HP recovery + fiendish energy damage, was worth at least tens of thousands.

Lin Chen's flesh and blood black shop had actually become a processing industry!

Using cheap, trashy anomalous creature corpses, Flesh Fermentation turned them into the more valuable 'Burning Saber Fiendish Wine'.

This business was definitely not a loss!

It was a shame that the anomalous creature corpses in the card shop were of too poor quality, and most of them had "gone bad," making it difficult to trigger Flesh Fermentation.

It was still necessary to use fresh flesh and blood to increase the chance of producing 'Burning Saber Fiendish Wine'!

Lin Chen noted these market points, and his "black shop economics" were further enriched and perfected.

Furthermore, as Sun Erniang continued to butcher meat, she accumulated a dense aura of blood and fiendish energy.

It faintly tugged at the starlight in the sky, and a beam of fiendish energy descended, landing on the 'Crossroads Slope Skinning Yaksha - Sun Erniang' card.

The Fallen Evil Star trait on the card also changed—

Earth Fiend Evil Star Sun Erniang was the descent of an Earth Fiend Star, a star of malevolent killing, possessing high intelligence, capable of accumulating blood and fiendish energy to advance.

The card's star rating also increased from two stars to three stars.

Lin Chen marveled at it, what a rapid leveling speed!

That's right!

Sun Erniang was different from Wu Song and Lu Zhishen, who were Heavenly Dipper Stars; Sun Erniang was an Earth Fiend Star.

Heavenly Dipper represented the power of yang essence, embodying righteousness and fierce strength;

Earth Fiend represented the energy of yin and evil, embodying malevolent killing.

Their advancement directions were actually different!

Wu Song and Lu Zhishen needed to uphold justice and display divine might, retracing the path of heroic epics to attract starlight;

While Sun Erniang only needed to kill!

The more she killed, the denser the fiendish energy became!

The more flesh and blood there was, the faster she advanced!

It was very much like those Ghost Cards that came with great cost, but Lin Chen's was a version without any drawbacks.

Lin Chen compared and calculated: "Compared to the Heavenly Dipper heroes, the Earth Fiend heroes are much faster to cultivate! But their upper limit is definitely not as high."

However, it didn't matter. Lin Chen didn't intend to make Sun Erniang his main card; she didn't need an extremely high upper limit. It was good if she could advance and become an immediate combat force sooner!

"I only need her as a blade—fast and ruthless enough for now!"

Looking at it this way, Sun Erniang might be the card that leveled up the fastest in a short period!
