Chapter 304: Chapter 304: Dig a Hole and Bury It

Wufu stepped forward and looked at the hunter’s corpse on the ground, saying, "If you had listened to me, if you hadn’t developed the intent to kill, I wouldn’t have killed you."

She was no saint, she had given him an opportunity, not wanting to commit more killing than necessary, but he didn’t cherish it and even wanted to kill her; therefore, she wouldn’t give him another chance.

If you wanted to kill me, I naturally wouldn’t show mercy; it’s all about survival of the fittest.

Wufu crouched down and said, "In your next life, don’t be so reckless, be a good person." She wiped the hunter’s eyes, then stood up and turned around.

Ahead of her, Liu Jin’s face was pale, looking over here with a dull expression.

What did he see, miss, did you kill that man? Did the miss kill someone?

Liu Jin’s eyes were filled with horror, what to do, they had killed someone.

Wufu walked over and called out, "Liu Jin."

Liu Jin, with a blank face, lifted his head and when he saw the blood on Wufu’s face, he instinctively took a small step back.

The hand Wufu wanted to use to pat his head froze in mid-air as she quietly watched him.

"Liu Jin, this is who I am, your miss is like this. If you’re scared, you can leave after we get back," Wufu said with a small smile, then turned away.

She wasn’t a good-natured person; if someone bullied her, she’d return it a hundredfold. Wanting to kill her, it would come down to whether the other person was capable enough.

Killing someone only requires bowing your head, but it’s all about capability.

Upon hearing this, Liu Jin’s face showed fear.

Seeing Wufu turn her back, as if she wanted to shake him off, Liu Jin panicked and, without a second thought, ran in front of her, knelt down, and, embracing her legs, said, "Miss, I’m not afraid, please don’t send me away."

At that moment, Liu Jin couldn’t care less about being a servant; his only thought was not to be abandoned by Wufu.

"Miss, I’m not afraid, I really am not afraid of you, I, I just, I..." Liu Jin became incoherent, tears rolling out, his face full of confusion.

"I’m not scared of you, it’s that he wanted to kill you, he deserved to die, I’m not afraid, he deserved it, miss..." Liu Jin began to cry, "I beg you, don’t send me away."

He was just panic-stricken; it was his first time seeing someone he knew commit murder, his very first time.

Wufu saw how pitifully he was crying and her heart softened; he was just a child, having witnessed someone getting killed right in front of him. Even if that person was an enemy, how could he not be afraid?

If he really weren’t the least bit afraid, or even ruthless, she would’ve been truly alarmed. Such heartlessness would be chilling.

Wufu helped him up, saying, "Stop crying, I’m not trying to drive you away."

Liu Jin looked up, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Wufu sighed, "It’s hard on you, following such a ruthless master."

"The miss is not ruthless, it was he who deserved to die, he initiated the intent to kill, we, we were just defending ourselves." Liu Jin clenched his teeth: "Exactly, it was self-defense, miss, this man was killed by me, Liu Jin killed him, you don’t know anything. If the Government Office wants to arrest someone, let them arrest me, it was me who killed him."

What a foolish child, still thinking of shouldering the blame and taking the rap for her at a time like this!

"Nonsense, who’s going to arrest you? In these mountains, what’s one less life?" Wufu ruffled his hair.

Liu Jin looked at her, puzzled.

"Hunters wandering in the deep mountains run into fierce beasts and lose their lives all the time. It’s common," Wufu said lightly.

Liu Jin suddenly understood and asked, "Miss, what about us?"

Wufu glanced at the hunter’s corpse and said, "Forget it, let’s be good people and dig a hole to bury him."

Leaving a body unburied in the wilderness never seemed quite right.
