Recovery

With her hands still covered in blood, Chu Wuyao pulled her hair back, trying to fix her messy hair.

Only now that she woke up and realized what had just happened and how dangerous the situation just before was.

During the whole fight, Chu Wuyao entered a special state where she seemed to lose control of her body and acted purely on instinct.

Her every movement, every step and every punch was natural, as if she had gone through countless battles and these moves were engraved on her mind.

She didn't know why this happened, but she felt that entering that state was not too bad.

"That state just now saved my life."

"Otherwise, with my combat experience, even if I killed the three Shadow Cats, I would have suffered even more serious injuries.", she thought and her focus turned to her current injuries.

Blood was flowing out of almost every single part of her body and many of her bones were cracked and broken.

Chu Wuyao had to grit her teeth to suppress the urge to scream loudly in pain.

Even so, she actually knew that her injuries were not fatal.

As a cultivator, her vitality and recovery speed were extremely fast, unlike that of ordinary humans.

"But it will still take at least a week to recover somewhat and more than half a month to recover completely.", Chu Wuyao calmly analyzed.

"Thankfully, I'm a person with a system.", she thought and looked at the floating prompts in front of her.

[You killed an animal with monster bloodline. Sin Points +0.5]

[You wiped out a loving family of Shadow Cats. Sin Points +2]

After she read these four prompts, she opened the system panel.

[Name: Chu Wuyao]

[Cultivation: 1st Level of Qi Accumulation(0/10)]

[Technique: Original Desire Sutra(0/100)]

[Skills: Charm(2/10), Fog of Hallucination(2/10), Illusion Eyes(3/10)]

[Status: Injured(0/2)]

[Sin Points: 3.6]

Without hesitation, she clicked on the (+) next to the [Injured] status, and the [Status] column flickered slightly, before turning into [Healthy].

A familiar warm current flowed throughout her body, washing away the fatigue and healing her injuries.

New skin grew rapidly on her wounds, while her cracked and broken bones quickly recovered.

Before long, her injuries had been fully healed and Chu Wuyao looked like she had never fought with anyone.

Of course, to think so, one had to ignore the corpses around her and the blood dripping from her body and dress.

Chu Wuyao stretched her body unconsciously, feeling that her condition was better than ever.

She was quite happy, but then remembered something and her face became dark.

"Is it worth it to risk my life and fight just to get less than 2 Sin Points in the end?", she complained.

She started to somewhat miss Su Qianyi's delicate body and her proud figure.

It's not because she was horny, but because having sex was a way easier way to get Sin Points compared to killing creatures.

"That's it. I just want to gain Sin Points and nothing else.", Chu Wuyao shook her head and convinced herself.

She was having indescribable thoughts, when her noise suddenly twitched and she smelled an intense, metallic scent.

She looked around and tried to find the source of that scent, but she quickly realized that its source was her own body.

To be more accurate, it was the blood on her body.

She took the handkerchief out and wanted to wipe some of the it away, but found out that even the handkerchief was soaked in blood.

"Let's made do with it for now and I'll have a bath after I collect everything.", she decided.

Kneeling down to the ground, she took the small knife out and started dissecting corpses again, taking away the Shadow Cats' claws, their teeth and some of their black fur.

Since she couldn't get many Sin Points by killing them, she should at least exchange them for contribution points, or else, she would feel that everything she did was worthless.

Her movements were very fast and methodical and in the blink of an eye, she had taken away everything she could.

Chu Wuyao faintly glanced back at the scene and quickly left this place, not wanting to wait for a monster or person to be attracted here by the smell or noise.

The sun was rising in the morning sky, driving away the night's darkness in the Warring Beasts Forest.

A long, straight river ran throughout the forest, dividing it into two sides: the north and the south.

The river had crystal clear water, attracting many animals and even monsters to come here and drink water.

Despite this, because of the river's massive size, it was very rare to meet another creature.

At this time, on the outskirts of the forest, a young woman was standing inside the river.

The woman had white hair and gray eyes and wore a black dress covered with red spots.

Her hands were furiously rubbing her body, washing away the blood on it.

"Is it finally done?", Chu Wuyao breathed a sigh of relief when she found that the blood on her body had finally disappeared.

Walking to the shore, she stepped out of the river by taking a long step.

Her body was still wet and drops of water dripped down her white hair, dropping to the ground.

The black dress she wore stuck closely to her body, accentuating her hourglass-like figure and her proud chest, while her smooth skin glowed under the sun.

Chu Wuyao shook her body to drive the water away and then sat down on the ground next to the river.

It had been a few hours since Chu Wuyao had a fierce fight ending up with killing the three Shadow Cats.

After she left the scene of the crime, she searched for a river to wash her body, wanting to remove the blood off her.

After all, being soaked in blood was not something to be happy about.

However, what she didn't expect was that it was way more difficult to remove it that she originally thought.

But now, she was done and could finally relax a little.

She hadn't slept at all since she entered the forest and the two fights she went through caused her both physical and mental fatigue.

While lying on the ground, Chu Wuyao suddenly remembered something and opened up the panel.

Glancing at the [Skills] column, she saw that just like she had remembered, the numbers behind the parenthesis had changed, even though she hadn't used any of her Sin Points.

She thought about it and quickly understood the reason.

"It should be because I used the skills many times since I came to the forest, effectively 'practicing' them."

"It seems that practicing on my own can also lower the amount of Sin Points that I need to spend."

"This will save me a lot of Sin Points in the future."

This discovery made Chu Wuyao very happy and couldn't help but smile slightly.

With yesterday's experience, she knew that getting Sin Points by killing creatures wasn't as easy as it seemed and it was also accompanied by danger.

Granted, this was not the her only source of Sin Points, but still.

Saving Sin Points was a thing to be happy about.

Just as Chu Wuyao was smiling strangely on her own, her ears suddenly twitched and she heard the sound of rapid footsteps.
