HELP! These Girls Wants To Kill Me

"Excuse me?" For a moment, Yang Ze thought he had heard it wrong. He couldn't help but look at the woman in confusion, wondering if it was her talking.

"I said, KILL THEM." Cang Yue didn't twist her words. Her words were filled with murderous intention as she pushed the needle towards Yang Ze once again.

"You are kidding, right?" Yang Ze couldn't help but let out a nervous laugh, but upon noticing Cang Yue's cold gaze towards him, swallowed back his words.

"You are not kidding..."

He looked at the needle before shaking his head in response.

"How about we ask them a few questions? Like how many people there are, what are the timings, when do they rest or eat, when do they practise, when the security is at its weakest..." Yang Ze kept on speaking, suggesting one question after another.

Cang Yue just listened to him quietly, and once he was finished, she replied in a calm voice.

"We already have everything that we need to know."

"In case you have forgotten, the intelligence branch of the Sword Sect has gathered everything from when they eat to the colour of their underwear."

"Besides..." She focused on the two women lying unconscious there. "Do you really think that these two cannon fodder would have any useful information that we don't already know?"

Her words silenced Yang Ze, who couldn't refute her. Just as she said, these two were at the late stage of pulse opening. In other words, they were slightly better than the lowest combat force, but still at the very bottom of the Blue Faced Tribe.

"..." Yang Ze stood there quietly, not even taking a glance at the needle that she was trying to hand him.

"Are you going to kill them or not?" Cang Yue's voice slowly turned cold as she gazed deeply at Yang Ze.

From the day she saw his appearance as well as his physique, she had decided to spend her entire life with him. After so many days of interactions, she knew just what kind of person this boy was.

He was a rather meek and calm person who didn't like any trouble and would usually just ignore things if they didn't concern him. He was also the type of person who, even after facing troubles, would try to run away instead of facing them head-on.

She wasn't annoyed by this personality of his. On one hand, she knew from his memories why he was like this and on the other, she rather liked the current him.

But that doesn't change the fact that she wanted him to learn and grow.

The world was cruel... and who could know it better than her?

She didn't want to see him injured or dead because of his inaction. She didn't want him to show mercy to his enemies only for it to backfire.

She knew he hadn't killed anyone, and now she wanted him to take this step.

"Take it and kill them." She once again pushed the needle in her hand towards Yang Ze, but Yang Ze didn't move, forget about taking it off her hand.

"Is it really necessary?" Yang Ze couldn't help but mutter, but it wasn't clear if these words were for himself or for Cang Yue beside him.

"Yes, it is." Cang Yue was beginning to lose her patience. She had never seen someone hesitate so much about killing another person.

Since she was a child, the rules of the cultivation world were instilled in her brain. It was a dog-eat-dog world where strength ruled above everything. What's right and what's wrong wasn't decided by morals, but by strength.

In this world, killing another person was just another part of life. The so-called mercy, the so-called morals didn't exist.

"Now, KILL." This time, her voice increased a bit, clearly angered by Yang Ze's indecisiveness.

"..." Yang Ze neither agreed nor disagreed. He just stood there in silence, not even moving a muscle.

"She is asking you to kill them... Are you going to disappoint her the same way you used to disappoint me?"

A pair of arms gently hugged Yang Ze from the back as a soft whisper sounded in his ears.

Yang Ze's body trembled for a moment as his eyes went into a daze.

This was something that he always did. Back on Earth, when his mother's drinking condition worsened, she often used to force him to do many things that he didn't wish to. But perhaps because of his responsibility or guilt, he never refuted her.

So he found the next best thing.

He would just stand there in silence, not doing anything other than hoping for the moment to pass away.

And now... Now he was doing the same exact thing.

"OH, my poor baby."

Listening to the familiar sound of his mother, Yang Ze pressed the palm of his hand with his thumb. Even with his recovery speed, the injury on his palm wasn't healed. He didn't know what type of weapon that needle was, but its wound wasn't that easy to heal.

The moment he felt the sharp pain in his palm, Yang Ze almost let out a groan, but in the end, he held back, and with this pain, the figure holding him from the back disappeared as well.

"Good... good..." In her anger, Cang Yue didn't notice the action of his pressing his palm as it began to bleed once again under the glove.

She merely gritted her teeth before placing her soft hand on his chest while pushing him back.

"Remember... You are responsible for this."

Yang Ze couldn't understand what she meant by that. But he couldn't avert his eyes. Since she was going to kill the two of them, he needed to watch it with his eyes. He was partly responsible for their death, so at this crucial moment, he wasn't going to close his eyes and pretend like it had nothing to do with him.

"Good." Noticing that Yang Ze didn't close his eyes and was still looking at her, Cang Yue nodded in satisfaction, but the anger on her face didn't diminish.

She first dragged both women under a tree before using her internal energy to seal their dantian. In this way, the two of them wouldn't be able to use their pitiful internal energy.

After that, the next thing she sealed was their throats.

Yang Ze didn't notice it all. He only saw Cagn Yue dragging the two women under a tree as she patted them below their navels and throat.

"..." He just watched quietly, waiting for her to kill them and move on.

Unfortunately for him and the two women on the ground, Cang Yue was in no mood to give them an easy death.

She turned back to look at Yang Ze with a smile that wasn't a smile while nodding constantly before raising her hand holding the needle and then stabbing the shoulder of the thin woman.

"AAAAAHHHHHH"

The pain was so intense that it awoke the thin unconscious woman, who suddenly began to twitch like a dead fish. She wanted to scream at the top of her lungs, but no voice came out.

Just a simple stab from the needle was extremely painful. Far beyond what a normal person could tolerate.

Cang Yue didn't stop, but directly punctured her wrists and feet, making it impossible for her to move or run away.

She then began to skillfully move her needle around her body, gently tearing the skin off her flesh. In less than twenty seconds, under the horrified gaze of Yang Ze, she took the entire skin off the woman, leaving behind a skinless body that was dripping with blood, and now constantly trashing around in dirt in indescribable agony, hoping to find a sense of relief, which never came.

And the more she trashed around, the more dirt and small stones stuck to her skinless body, and the more agonising pain became.

And yet...

Yet, she couldn't even scream.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Looking at the woman's current state, Yang Ze almost flew into a rage. This was the first time since his arrival in this world that he felt such a profound sense of anger.

"STAY THERE." Cang Yue shouted in response while waving her hand and releasing her internal energy, making it impossible for Yang Ze to move in the short term.

"These are the fruits of your actions." She then stabbed the scarred-faced woman on the shoulder, similarly waking her up in agonising pain before repeating the same process with her.

But this time, perhaps out of anger or out of spite, she took her time, skinning the scarred woman. Compared to the thin woman who was still thrashing around on the ground, she took almost five minutes before nodding in satisfaction.

"Perfect." Throwing away the complete human skin, she nodded in satisfaction while admiring her artwork before focusing back on Yang Ze and letting out a smirk.

"Heh! You could have easily freed yourself from my lousy internal energy and rushed to help this woman if you truly wished to."

"As expected of you... Still didn't want to take any action."

"...." Yang Ze quietly looked at the two skinless women trashing on the ground before closing his eyes.

Taking deep breaths, he tried to calm his tense nerves, but the smell of blood in the air made it hard for him. It was the first time he saw something so horrifying. He was still in shock that there was someone who could torture people like this.

"Why?" It wasn't until a few more moments passed that he asked in a hoarse voice. He just couldn't understand why she would do this. It was clear that she didn't do it for pleasure... then why?

"Why?" Cang Yue almost laughed out loud. "Didn't I say that it is because of you?"

"Because you refused to kill them."

"That's why."

"Then why not simply kill them?" Yang Ze couldn't help but shout in a low voice. He just couldn't understand why she would torture them like this instead of giving them a quick death.

"To teach you a lesson."

Her words stunned Yang Ze, who couldn't react for a while.

"I gave you a choice... I told you to kill them, and you simply backed out."

"So... I decided to show you. I wanted you to see what your refusal... what your inaction caused."

"Today it was the two of them, tomorrow, it might be me or perhaps you yourself."

"If you keep on hesitating like this, then this..." Pointing at the two bodies on the ground, which were still squirming around, Cang Yue spoke further. "This is what would happen to us."

"In case you have forgotten, you are my Dao Companion... My husband. And by now, perhaps the entire world knows about it."

Speaking till here, Cang Yue paused for a moment before letting out a sneer.

"What do you think is going to happen when my enemies come looking for you?"

"If one day, you decided to stay like this, refusing to take action, then this... this will be your fate... They will give you a worse fate than this."

"....."

The scene plunged into a deathly silence for a long time.

"So, you decided to torture two women just to tell me this." Yang Ze gritted his teeth as he closed his eyes. "You know, you could have simply talked to me about it. You could have used words instead of actions, and I would have understood it clearly."

"Oh! You would have?" Cnag Yue couldn't help but laugh before asking him, "So, tell me, what exactly were you going to do with these two?"

Yang Ze didn't reply immediately but took a deep breath before speaking in a soft voice.

"Leave them."

Her words silenced Cang Yue for a moment before she burst out in laughter once again.

"What's wrong with that?" Her laughter frustrated Yang Ze so much that he couldn't help but ask in a disgruntled tone.

"What's wrong with that?" Cang Yue repeated the same question before wiping the corner of her eyes and looking at him as if she were looking at an idiot.

"You tell me..."

"The two of them killed your clone and then tried to kill you without a word."

"And you were thinking about letting them go?"

"Have you lost your damn mind?"

"...."

Yang Ze just stood in silence before replying in a soft voice.

"I don't need them dead to win."

"Besides... I am wearing a mask, and they haven't seen my true face."

"Everyone deserves a second chance in life." Speaking this sentence, his voice trembled for a moment, and he went silent.

Cnag Yue didn't say anything for a while before walking beside Yang Ze and patting him on the shoulder.

Raising his head, Yang Ze saw Cang Yue's exquisite face above him, who was looking at him with a frown.

"Why do you think we came here?" Her question stunned Yang Ze.

"What do you think was going to happen when we infiltrated the Blue Faced tribe?"

"Did you think we all were going to get together, have a big party and talk to our hearts' content?"

"If you are this hesitant in killing these two trash, how can I expect you to help me out when I am fighting against their tribe leader and elders?"

Yang Ze couldn't answer any of her questions. He just clenched his fists and stood there in silence.

"I can't believe it..." It was only now that Cang Yue realised the situation she was dealing with.

Earlier, she thought she just needed to guide him and even give him a little shock.

But would have thought that his thinking was this messed up?

He would rather show mercy to his enemies than to finish them once and for all.

Forget about the world of cultivation; even in the world of mortals, this was a ridiculous way of thinking.

"Let's go..." In the end, she just turned around and decided to meet the other two women. She needed to discuss with the two of them about their next course of action.

It was clear from the way Yang Ze acted that he wasn't suitable to be taken inside the Blue Faced tribe.

"What about them?" Yang Ze didn't leave, but looked at the two skinless women constantly writing in agony. He couldn't even imagine the pain they must have been going through.

"Like I said..." Cang Yue looked at Yang Ze with a calm face. "Results of your inaction."

With a brief pause, she turned around and began to walk towards their initial location.

"Or you can just put them to death and free them from their misery."

"But I doubt you would be willing to do that."

"So just watch... watch the consequences of your inactions."

"Today it is them, and tomorrow it might be us."

After leaving behind this sentence, she left the scene, leaving behind the figure of Yang Ze, who just stood there in silence amidst the figures of two skinless women...
