Chapter 138: Chapter 40 The Secret of Killing God

After that night, Xie Yu shamelessly took up residence in the small courtyard temporarily purchased by Yue Jinghua.

In the afternoon, Hong Yao reluctantly changed Xie Yu’s dressing.

"No sane person would leave their true body in such a forsaken place. Shang Kingdom is truly a paradise, with its beautiful scenery and beautiful people, like Miss Xiao Ya, a beauty like you is rare to find anywhere else," the iron sand in Xie Yu’s eyes was removed by Hong Yao.

Dressed in a flamboyant rose-colored robe, Xie Yu, with his garment open and covered by a piece of gauze, his handsome and flawless features reflected the spring colors of the lush banana leaves, truly making him look like a figure in a painting.

The climate in Shang Kingdom is humid and hot, and even after entering autumn, it still carries a bit of the dragging heat of summer.

After he settled into the small courtyard, he had people bring over a pile of luxurious household items, everything he ate, used, and wore, including the ivory bed he slept in, was also moved over.

Hong Yao paused her hand movements while changing the dressing and said indifferently, "Boss Xie must have mistaken me for someone else. I am Hong Yao, a maid recently bought by Miss Yue."

"Xiao Ya, don’t worry, even if Imperial Uncle Luo is already dead, I would protect you even if he were alive. My feelings for you are clear as day and night," Xie Yu, with his eyes still covered in gauze, earnestly "tenderly" gazed at Hong Yao.

"Why does this sound so familiar? Where have I heard this before?" Yue Jinghua arrived with the little boy Yue Chen.

Little boy Yue Chen’s face turned red, he nodded repeatedly, and barely squeezed out two words: "Hongling..." Xie Yu had said the same words to Hong Yao and Hongling every day, several days in a row.

Even Aunt Wang, an older woman who was hired to clean the courtyard, had received a "tender promise" from Xie Yu.

If it weren’t for the confirmation that Xie Yu was the infamous Jade Finger Killing God in the assassin’s community, Yue Jinghua would never associate this charismatic and wicked young man in front of her with an assassin.

"Jinghua, please don’t misunderstand. I was just joking with Xiao Ya earlier, you are my true love," Xie Yu immediately straightened up and sat upright, his face full of sincerity.

"Lies..." Little boy Yue Chen had become much more cheerful recently, occasionally blurting out a word or two, each word timely and pertinent.

He couldn’t stand listening to the pretty big brother’s lies any longer, made a vomiting gesture, and hid behind Yue Jinghua.

"Hey, you little dumpling face, how come you are so sharp-tongued at such a young age? I thought you had potential, wanting to teach you how to dominate the flower fields in ten years. Together, we could rule the Eastern Continent, unrivaled in the field of love," Xie Yu objected.

Dominating the flower fields, what is that? Yue Chen wondered. Could this pretty big brother who dressed even more flamboyantly than peach blossoms also be an expert at planting flowers?

"Shut up, are you a sparrow or something? You just know how to chirp nonstop, such a talking bird. Seeing how agile you are and full of energy, you don’t need to recover anymore. Just walk out the door, go back where you came from," Yue Jinghua had a headache, she had rented this small courtyard for some peace, convenient for alchemy and cultivation.

It was supposed to be very quiet, but since Xie Yu arrived, just him alone was like having three more women around, endlessly chattering all day.

"No way, at least use your Feminine Charm Pill to heal my face first. With this face, I can’t live properly," Xie Yu pouted, lay flat, and stubbornly refused to move.

It wasn’t until a few days ago when Hong Yao was changing Xie Yu’s dressing that Yue Jinghua realized that this "shadow clone" was actually Xie Yu’s true body.

If the true body is injured, it means he genuinely needs recuperation.

It’s also strange because of the several pills Yue Jinghua recently refined.

After receiving Yue Jinghua’s Feminine Charm Pills, Hongling and Hong Yao’s beauty surpassed the past, each blooming like spring flowers.

Once Xie Yu found out and secretly stole one to test, discovering that the Feminine Charm Pill not only preserves beauty but also helps in healing wounds, he made up his mind to obtain enough Feminine Charm Pills from Yue Jinghua. Although it’s unclear what cultivation technique Xie Yu practiced, Yue Jinghua had a rough idea.

The cultivation technique practiced by Xie Yu is one of the most unique among assassins, called "Illusion Kill". Illusion Kill is extremely difficult to cultivate; at the level of Dark Earth, it can produce the first shadow body, with the cultivation about 40% of the true self. Once reaching the Heavenly Dark Realm, it can produce the second shadow body, with the cultivation roughly 60% of the true self.
