Chereads / Seven Deadly Sins System / Chapter 10 - Returning to the Sect

Chapter 10 - Returning to the Sect

In a forest filled with towering trees and various plants, a fight was currently taking place.

The surrounding trees and plants had been destroyed, while rocks and soil were flying all over the place.

Many corpses of monsters were lying on the ground, showing just how fierce the battle was.

At the center of the fight, a young woman with white hair and dressed in a black dress was being attacked by a swarm of cat-like monsters from every direction.

Despite this, her expression was calm and indifferent, while her steps were nimble, as she fought back with ease.

Her delicate hands sometimes turned into fists and sometimes into claws, killing the monsters around her.

Time passed by slowly as the fight continued.

Finally, Chu Wuyao's hand stretched out towards the last remaining Shadow Cat and her nails pierced through its abdomen, killing it and throwing it to the ground.

"Is it finally done?", she thought and looked around her.

Tens of Shadow Cat corpses were on the ground and blood had splashed everywhere.

Even then, Chu Wuyao's body and clothes were completely spotless and only her nails were slightly dyed in red color.

"Fighting is indeed the best way to quickly improve combat power.", she sighed emotionally.

It had been a few days since Chu WUyao killed Cai Yu and met the Wine Monkey near the river.

Over the past few days, perhaps because she had killed the family of Shadow Cats before, she had been attacked by swarms of Shadow Cats from time to time.

The more she fought, the more comfortable she became with her increased strength and the richer her combat experience became.

By now, Chu Wuyao could easily deal with tens of Shadow Cats at the same time.

After rummaging through the corpses on the ground and taking away their valuable parts, she quickly left this place.

From the last attack of the Shadow Cats, Chu Wuyao could see that their attacks were getting more and more fierce.

Although she could easily deal with few of them, she didn't want to put herself to danger for no reason.

She was already very satisfied with her current harvest.

Not only was she able to kill many monsters and get many contribution points, but she had also gained many Sin Points that could be used to increase her strength.

With that in mind, Chu Wuyao suppressed her greed and decided to leave the Warring Beasts Forest.

Walking through the familiar path, her steps were very fast and she soon arrived at the entrance of the forest.

It was evening, meaning that there were only a few people near the entrance and most of them were returning to the sect just like her.

Chu Wuyao could see that most of them had been injured, but they could still not hide their inner excitement.

She only glanced at them faintly and then left this place, returning to the sect.

Walking through the sect's buildings, Chu Wuyao noticed that it was full of people and there were even some couples that were hugging and kissing in the dark alleys.

If it was not banned by the sect, Chu Wuyao believed that they would also do some other unspeakable things.

Soon, she reached her destination, the Mission Hall.

Entering inside, she walked to the reception and was met by a beautiful blonde woman with short hair that fell on her forehead.

"Hello junior sister, what do you need?", the woman showed a professional smile and asked.

Chu Wuyao took the red token of the sect out of her pocket and put it on the desk before answering:

"I previously picked up a hunting mission in the Warring Beasts Forest and I came to hand it in."

"Please wait a minute.", the woman nodded her head and opened the desk's drawer, taking out a strange looking scale.

Then, she picked up the red token and put it on top of the scale.

"Ding!"

The scale made a bell-like sound and then a number appeared on top of it in bold, black letters.

"106"

The blonde woman glanced at the number and was slightly surprised.

The sect's red token could not only a show the amount of contribution points, but had many other useful functions.

Among them was the ability to capture and record the aura of the creatures that died the token's holder.

This strange looking scale was then able to detect this aura and show how just how many creatures the holder had killed.

The woman didn't expect that this junior sister, who was only at the 2nd Level of Qi Accumulation, could hunt so many monsters.

Fortunately, she had worked in the Mission Hall for a long time and didn't show any abnormal reaction on the surface.

She took the red token off the scale and with a wave of her hands, the contribution points on it turned from 0 to 53.

With a polite smile on her face, she handed the token back to Chu Wuyao and spoke in a sweet voice:

"Junior sister, here you go."

Chu Wuyao didn't know if it was intentional or not, but when their hands touched each other, the woman's fingers gently brushed against her skin and rubbed her palm.

Even so, the woman behind the desk showed no expression at all, as if she didn't notice it.

 "Thank you."

Chu Wuyao glanced at her faintly and nodded.

Seeing that the woman lowered her head and started reading the pages in front of her as if nothing happened, she didn't stay any longer and walked out of the Mission Hall.

The moment she stepped outside, the sound of loud shouting reached her ears.

"Trash!"

"How dare you court senior sister Yue? Who do you think you are?"

"Beat him up!"

Just across the Mission Hall, a fight was taking place.

To be more accurate, someone was being beaten up.

It was a young man with short black hair and black eyes, who was kneeling on the ground and holding his head with his two arms.

Around him, many disciples of the Original Desire Sect were standing, punching him and kicking him with hatred in their eyes.

The majority of them were guys, but there were also some female disciples that had red eyes and kicked him fiercely.

There were many onlookers that looked at this scene and started chatting among themselves.

"Hey, what happened?", Chu Wuyao saw a male disciple pat one of the onlookers and ask.

The onlooker glanced at him and pointed at the young man on the ground.

"Do you see this guy there?"

"Just now, senior sister Yue passed by this place and he stepped forward to say hello to her."

"What? He dared to talk to senior sister Yue?", the male disciple showed an expression of disbelief.

Then, his eyes turned red and he rushed towards the man on the ground and started kicking and punching him with all his strength.

If Chu Wuyao didn't know any better, she would have thought that the young man had killed this guy's parents.

"It deserves to be an evil sect."

"You'll get beat up just because you talked to someone.", she sighed.

Of course, even though she was slightly emotional, she had no intention of stepping forward to stop their fight.

She didn't know the person who was being beaten up and even if she knew him, stepping forward will only result in her getting beat up too.

Chu Wuyao didn't have any masochistic tendencies.
