side character transmigration: the final boss is no joke

3

There were quite a few spirit beasts in The Forest of Death, though their levels weren't that high. Shi Sheng just treated it as practise. Needless to say, those spirit beasts ended up dying horribly.

After a long time, she finally managed to find that red-coloured tree. It really was red. From top to bottom and inside-out, it was a dazzling red.

As to why she knew the inside was red? Oh, she chopped it. According to normal plots, this tree would play a special role somewhere along the line but even when Shi Sheng had cut it down, there was nothing strange.

'Is it because I'm not the main character? So, I don't have any hidden storylines? Even props are this discriminating? How scary!'

The tree "..." 'At least give me an opportunity to do something! Who told you to chop me as soon as you arrived?! I didn't even get a chance to react!'

Shi Sheng sat on the trunk of the fallen tree. She looked at the sky as she waited for the male lead. All she knew was that the female lead would meet the male lead here but as to why the male lead was here in the first place, only the author knew...

Shi Sheng was about to turn into a Mong Fu Shek from waiting yet she didn't even catch the slightest glimpse of the male lead.

'Is this tree not the only red one in The Forest of Death? Maybe I should go and check the area?'

Shi Sheng went for a little hike in the area. She didn't see any more red trees. She did encounter a few somewhat normal-looking spirit beasts though. By the time she had dealt with them and returned, she saw a person collapsed beside the 'corpse' of the tree.

'Well fuck me... So I needed to leave first ah!' Shi Sheng took out the longsword Yu Xiao had given her before she left. She stabbed it down at the person's back.

Pff~

"Stop!"

Two sounds resounded at the same time. The former was the sound of a blade entering flesh while the latter was a woman's cold rebuke.

Shi Sheng maintained her posture of stabbing her sword while she turned to look at the source of the voice. Her eyebrow lifted. "Hey, well if it isn't Junior Martial Sister Ye?"

Ye Qingqiu was wearing a purple Daoist robe covered in filth. Her hair was in a mess too. Only her face was clean, allowing one to see how stunning it was. There was a sharply arrogant coldness in her eyes.

"What are you doing?" Ye Qingqiu questioned her coldly.

"Killing people! Are you blind?" Shi Sheng spoke in a very normal voice, as if killing this person was to be expected.

Ye Qingqiu was speechless. 'What's with this Shan Shu? She's completely different from a year ago... Could it be she's an expert that has taken over a body too?'

Ye Qingqiu narrowed her eyes. "He has no enmity with you, if you kill him, you will have to face the consequences of karma."

"Didn't like the look of him so I am killing him with a reason." Shi Sheng took out the sword and stabbed back down again. Her movements were fluid and completed quickly. 'This fucker was the one who killed Shan Shu in their past lives. How am I killing him without a reason? Even if there's karma, he's the one that has to deal with the payback while I'm the one dishing it out.'

"You-" Ye Qingqiu hadn't expected Shi Sheng to move so quickly. She could only watch as another bloody hole appeared on the back of the man whose face she could not see clearly.

She didn't know why but when she saw this man, she had a strong feeling that she should save him. Seeing that Shi Sheng was about to continue stabbing him, Ye Qingqiu attacked.
