Cultivating Immortality Begins with Acting as a Girl Chapter 015

Song Ling carefully examined it. The silver-white furred creature had a head like an eagle, a body like a dog, and a long, slender tail trailing behind it. The tail extended all the way to Zhang Feng’s stomach.

“Monster?”

Song Ling raised an eyebrow. This thing exuded the aura of a monster, but he had no information about it in his memory.

This was not surprising; his previous self was, after all, just a boy from a rural village, so it was normal for him to have limited knowledge.

The silver-white monster suddenly raised its head. In the night, its eyes emitted an eerie green light, staring directly at Song Ling on the courtyard wall.

It kicked its four limbs forcefully, and its entire body leaped high, pouncing towards Song Ling. Its sharp claws glinted with a cold light under the moonlight, moving at an astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, it was upon him, a strong scent of blood spewing from its gaping maw.

Besides the scent of blood, Song Ling clearly smelled the cheap perfume from Zhang Feng earlier that day on this monster.

It seemed it wasn’t a hallucination.

In a flash, Song Ling’s gaze sharpened, and he drew his sword!

After a whole night of rest, his internal energy had recovered to about seventy to eighty percent. At this moment, Flourishing Moonlight was unleashed once again.

The sword light was like a silk ribbon, cutting through the night sky.

“Clang!”

The silver-white monster was hit squarely, but the long sword did not feel like it had cut through flesh and blood. Instead, a crisp metallic sound rang out.

The silver-white monster let out a strange cry, and its entire body was shaken to the ground by the sword strike.

“Hmm?!”

Song Ling was astonished. That sword strike just now had not caused any substantial damage to the silver-white monster.

This was the first time Flourishing Moonlight had been used to no avail.

“This monster’s aura is clearly only equivalent to a third-rate, only slightly stronger than the Lizardman monster in Redstone Village back then. There’s no reason it should be unharmed by Flourishing Moonlight.”

While Song Ling was deep in thought, the silver-white monster shook its body, standing up as if nothing had happened. However, this time it did not pounce forward directly. Instead, it slowly paced around Song Ling, seemingly looking for an opportunity.

Only then did Song Ling see clearly that what it was dragging behind its body was not a tail at all, but a bloody intestine. As it moved, it continuously pulled out from the standing Zhang Feng’s body, appearing extremely disgusting and bizarre.

“Connected to Zhang Feng, could it be…”

A sudden thought flashed through Song Ling’s mind. He looked closely at Zhang Feng.

Upon closer inspection, he indeed found something unusual. Zhang Feng’s face was noticeably much paler than before the silver-white monster was struck by the sword.

“The damage was borne by Zhang Feng? If that’s the case…”

With a thought, Song Ling pushed off the ground, leaping down from the courtyard wall and rushing towards Zhang Feng’s location, his long sword pointing directly at Zhang Feng’s head.

The silver-white monster instantly panicked, letting out a sharp shriek, and accelerated fiercely, attempting to block Song Ling’s attack.

However, what awaited it was another Flourishing Moonlight strike.

Although it still took no damage, its body was sent flying several meters away.

This was the interval Song Ling needed. He quickly turned around and raised his long sword, slicing it towards Zhang Feng’s head.

This time, the silver-white monster was too late to stop him, and Zhang Feng’s head fell in response!

At the same time, the bloody intestine connected to Zhang Feng’s navel rapidly rotted and deteriorated, gradually losing all vitality. A few breaths later, it spread to the silver-white monster’s body. It let out a few screams, and its entire body began to dissolve, eventually leaving only a palm-sized white fleshy ball.

“This is…”

Song Ling walked to a short distance from the white fleshy ball and carefully poked it a few times with his long sword. There was no reaction.

Unlike the cheap perfume smell from the silver-white monster earlier, this white fleshy ball emitted a fresh and natural fragrance.

Normally, when monsters die, their bodies transform into energy and dissipate back into the world. Only “demons,” which are of a higher level than monsters, can leave behind corpses.

But this silver-white monster definitely couldn’t be a “demon,” otherwise Song Ling would have died instantly upon meeting it.

Let alone him, even a Xiantian Grandmaster would not be a match for a “demon.” That was an existence on a completely different level.

“This thing might be useful…”

To avoid missing a potential opportunity, Song Ling decided to collect this fleshy ball. He would check relevant monster books tomorrow to see if he could find out what it was.

However, out of caution, Song Ling did not directly touch the object with his hand. Instead, he picked it up with the tip of his sword, wrapped it in cloth, and hid it in a safe place.

After doing all this, Song Ling returned to his room.

…

The next morning.

Granny Qian, who usually came to meet Granny Li to go to the morning market, arrived. She found Granny Li’s door tightly shut, unlike usual, and felt a bit suspicious. Worried that something might have happened to the elderly Granny Li who lived alone, she walked around to the back courtyard and found the back door ajar. She pushed it open and entered.

Not long after, a scream echoed through the sky.

If it were a street managed by other forces, a death would just be a death. Even if there were traces of monster mischief, it wouldn’t be a big deal, as countless people starved to death on the streets every day.

But this was under the jurisdiction of the Hundred Herbs Gang, and it was the most prosperous street within their sphere of influence.

Once a monster wreaked havoc, it would cause considerable losses.

Therefore, members of the Hundred Herbs Gang quickly arrived to investigate.

At Chenshi, Song Ling was eating breakfast in the courtyard when the main door was suddenly knocked. Having already heard some commotion, Song Ling was not flustered.

She was currently wearing a light green cloth dress, with narrow shoulders and a slender waist, appearing delicate and fragile.

The reason for dressing like this was to lower the guard of the visitors.

She opened the main door, and several members of the Hundred Herbs Gang in uniform came into her sight. The leader was a tall, slender young man with a rather stern face. The several gang members following him all had serious expressions.

The young man’s sharp gaze swept around the courtyard and finally settled on Song Ling. He asked in a low voice, “Did you hear any unusual movements last night?”

Everyone living in this street knew about the Hundred Herbs Gang, so he didn’t need to introduce himself and went straight to the point.

“No… no, I went to bed very early yesterday. Did something happen?”

Song Ling’s voice was soft and weak, with a touch of well-placed panic and confusion in her tone, as if she knew nothing about what had happened outside the door.

The young man frowned slightly. The woman in front of him looked delicate and frail, with no trace of martial arts training. He didn’t suspect her, but the fact that such a close neighbor couldn’t provide any clues made him slightly annoyed.

After asking a few more questions and seeing that Song Ling genuinely knew nothing, the young man turned and left with his group.

Song Ling watched their receding figures, her expression returning to normal.

She went back into her room to finish breakfast, rested for a while, then changed into a unisex round-neck robe and left the house.
