Hu Meier (Third Update, Seeking Favorites and Recommendations)

When Hu Donghan saw Hu Meier's expression, he let out a mournful sigh. "Girl, are you still playing around?"

Hu Meier suddenly moved, appearing before Hu Donghan again. She reached out and smacked his forehead, saying sweetly, "Little brat, how many times have I told you? Call me Big Sister!"

Big... Big Sister?

At once, a series of crackles rang out around them—the sound of jaws hitting the ground. This woman before them, beautiful enough to shame the heavens, was actually the elder sister of Hu Donghan, who had just been sentenced to "death" by the Enforcement Hall? Th-this pair of siblings looked far too different, didn't they?

As for those three enforcement disciples, their expressions turned as ugly as could be—what kind of situation was this? They had actually handed such a severe punishment to this fairy's younger brother? Wouldn't this fairy hate them to death now? If they had known this kid had such a beautiful elder sister, wouldn't a casual verbal warning have been enough...

The three enforcement disciples looked awful, but there were idiots among the onlookers as well.

Upon hearing Hu Meier call herself Hu Donghan's elder sister, a lecherous gleam flashed through Mu Zhengfeng's narrow eyes. He actually said smugly, "Hu Donghan, I didn't think you had such a beautiful sister. If she's willing to sleep with me for one night, I'll spare you this time..."

Before Mu Zhengfeng could finish speaking, a flash of light flickered before his eyes, followed by someone suddenly appearing in front of him. By the time Mu Zhengfeng came back to his senses, he discovered that the one blocking him was Hu Donghan. Before Hu Donghan, Hu Meier had somehow produced a longsword, its tip already pressed against Hu Donghan's chest.

"Little Brother? What are you doing? Let me kill him!" Hu Meier drew her sword back slightly. Her beautiful eyes, brimming with terrifying Killing Intent, fixed on Mu Zhengfeng.

Hu Donghan shook his head. "No. I want to kill this man." If Mu Zhengfeng had not made those filthy remarks, Hu Donghan would certainly have stood by and watched Hu Meier kill him. But Mu Zhengfeng had actually dared to spew such obscene words, so Hu Donghan had no choice but to step forward—if someone insulted his child bride right in front of him and he showed no reaction at all, then he could not be called a man!

Hu Meier raised her brow and said coldly, "I want to kill him too!"

Hu Donghan immediately replied, "Then we'll do it together."

"Fine." After hearing Hu Donghan's words, Hu Meier flipped her longsword, and it vanished.

Hu Donghan and Hu Meier discussed killing someone before all these people and the seven enforcement disciples, acting as arrogantly as arrogance could be.

Hu Donghan and Hu Meier had grown up together, and he knew Hu Meier's character better than anyone. The Yin Soul Sect's laws were strict; unless Hu Meier had absolute certainty, she would never dare kill someone before so many people! Since she was going to act, she must have been absolutely certain that no one would dare hold her accountable.

Before others and behind their backs, Hu Meier appeared delicate and pitiful, like a fragile young woman. But Hu Donghan knew that anyone who dared underestimate her would probably not even know how they died.

When their Household was destroyed and their loved ones scattered, Hu Donghan and Hu Meier could only wander and beg. Hu Meier had been six then, while Hu Donghan had been only three. In some people's eyes, such two little children were as lovable as two plump pigs!

Back then, Hu Donghan devised the plans, while Hu Meier carried them out. When they killed the first person who harbored ill intentions toward them, Hu Meier held the murder weapon with blood covering both hands and cried her heart out; Hu Donghan merely watched it all coldly.

Then, under Hu Donghan's planning, Hu Meier killed one enemy after another. Through slaughter after slaughter, her heart gradually became sinister and vicious. Only when facing Hu Donghan did Hu Meier lower all her guard.

The time Hu Meier killed the most people was when a band of mountain bandits abducted them to their stronghold, intending to boil and eat them the next day. That night, Hu Meier brought the potent poison Hu Donghan had prepared and poured it into the only well in the stronghold. By noon the next day, every bandit in the entire stronghold, save for the chief who had cultivated internal arts, had died cleanly. The chief had been poisoned and pursued Hu Donghan and Hu Meier, only to be trapped by the snares they had set. His internal arts were profound, and with children's strength, they could barely pierce his skin. In the end, Hu Donghan and Hu Meier each took a small knife and sawed through the chief's neck, stroke by stroke, before it was over.

That time, Hu Meier killed more than five hundred people.

That year, Hu Meier had only been eight, and Hu Donghan merely five.

Later, after enduring countless twists and turns, Hu Donghan and Hu Meier finally met their current adoptive father and mother and were able to settle down. However, the temperaments they had developed since childhood never changed.

Then, when the Yin Soul Sect recruited disciples, Hu Meier was tested to possess a High-Grade Ghost Spirit Root, shocking the Yin Soul Sect.

A Ghost Spirit Root was the spiritual root most suited for cultivating the Ghost Way. Throughout the Yin Soul Sect's history, two cultivators with Ghost Spirit Roots had appeared, and both became Spirit Transformation experts. This showed just how terrifying a Ghost Spirit Root was.

Golden Core Realm and Nascent Soul Realm ancestors fought fiercely to claim Hu Meier as their disciple. In the end, a Spirit Transformation expert of the Yin Soul Sect stepped forward and took Hu Meier as his disciple, finally settling that farce. Hu Donghan vaguely remembered that the Spirit Transformation ancestor who accepted Hu Meier as his disciple was named Soul Devourer!

Hu Meier's master was the Hall Master of the Yin Soul Sect's Enforcement Hall! That was Hu Meier's true backing!

Only after Hu Donghan and Hu Meier finished discussing matters did Mu Zhengfeng finally react. He shrieked, "Martial Uncles, they want to kill me! They want to kill me! You all saw it!"

The seven Enforcement Hall disciples finally recovered from their shock. They exchanged glances, and one of them stepped forward. "Junior Sister, you previously intended to harm a fellow disciple. According to the Sect Law Code..."

"In the Sect Law Code, what crime is it for a male disciple to insult a female disciple with his words?" Before he could finish, Hu Meier's eyes widened. Her voice was crisp as she asked coldly.

That Enforcement Hall disciple was instantly cowed by Hu Meier's imposing presence and instinctively answered, "Depending on the circumstances, one lash, five lashes, fifteen lashes, fifty lashes, or... execution!"

"If a disciple of this sect commits insubordination and speaks disrespectfully, what crime is that?" Before the enforcement disciple could regain his senses, Hu Meier asked coldly again.

The disciple continued, "For insubordination, depending on the circumstances: five lashes, twenty lashes, one hundred lashes, execution, or... soul extraction and spirit stripping, corpse-refining water, soul-lamp ignition."

Hu Meier's face turned icy. She drew a pale black token from her waist and held it before the disciple's eyes, asking coldly, "Then tell me, how exactly should this man be punished for insulting me just now?"

The disciple glanced at the token in Hu Meier's hand, and his face changed dramatically. His legs went weak, and he nearly fell to his knees on the spot—

"Th-this is actually..."
