ren’t you tired?” She asked him. “Why don’t you sit down and rest a bit?”

“Who asked you? Your daddy here just don’t like sitting!”

Mu WanQing had no choice but to try and ignore him. Immediately her thoughts went to Duan Yu, leaving her heart warm and sweet one moment but cold and bitter another.

Suddenly, the sounds of crying gently drifted through the air, the sound was unspeakably sad and wretched. Faintly, it sounded like a woman was crying: “My baby, my baby!”

Divine Croc spat in the general direction of the sound. “Pei! She’s mourning again!” He commented before shouting. “What are you mourning for? I’ve been waiting here forever!”

“My baby! Your mother misses you so!” The voice seemed to continue on.

“Is that your mother?” Mu WanQing was greatly confused by this turn of events.

“Like hell she’s my mom! What’s wrong with you?” Divine Croc looked insulted at the mere question. “That bitch right there is ‘No Evil Left Undone’ Second Madame Yie. The word ‘evil’ is second in her nickname. One of these days, I’m going to exchange my nickname, ‘Vicious Demon Evil Fiend’, with hers!”

Mu WanQing suddenly had an epiphany: “So if the word ‘evil’ comes second in the nickname, it means that person is the second among the ‘Arch-Villains’.”

“What what is the number one’s nickname? What is number 4’s?”

“Can you stop asking me question? Your daddy here don’t want to talk to you anymore!” Divine Croc impatiently replied.

“Number One’s nickname is ‘Evil Overflowing the Cup’, Number Four is called ‘To the Core Evil’.” A serene female voice suddenly answered.

{I know the nicknames are a little bad, but I’m working on it, and it’s hard to make the word evil appear in the right places. I’m open to suggestions. :o)}

Mu WanQing was shocked by the speed of Second Madame Yie, the sound of her voice hadn’t faded yet and she had already quietly made it up the mountain. Immediately Mu WanQing turned to get a good look at her. She was wearing a light green dress. Her hair was long and dancing in the wind. She looked about 40 and her face graceful and elegant. But both side of her face had 3 blood red scars that went from the bottom of her eyes all the way down to her chin as if somebody had just scratched her face open. In her arms was a 2 or 3 year old baby, a cute, chubby looking boy.

Mu WanQing had thought that this “No Evil Left Undone” Second Madame Yie would have been a terrifying woman because she was ranked ahead of Divine Croc. But she turned out to be quite good looking. In her surprise, Mu WanQing had to look her over again. Second Madam Yie shot her a sweet smile, but it caused Mu WanQing’s entire body to shudder, for her smiled seemed to hide beneath it an infinite amount of suffering and sadness. Almost starting to cry right then and there, Mu WanQing immediately looked away.

“Third Sister, why isn’t Number One and Number Four here yet?” asked Divine Croc.

“From the beat-up look on your face, it’s obvious that you’ve just been taught a lesson by Number One, and yet you are thick skinned enough to ask why Number One isn’t here yet?” Second Madame Yie quietly answered. “And besides, you are obviously third, yet you are so determined to get ahead of me. If you call me ‘Third Sister’ one more time, your older sister is going to have to get serious.”

“Then get serious! What do I care?” Divine Croc angrily answered. “Do you want a fight?”

“If you want to fight, then I guess I’ll keep you company then,” Second Madame Yie answered with a slight smile.

“Mommy! Mommy! I want my mommy!” The kid in her arms suddenly began to ball.

“Good boy, I’m your mommy, stop crying.” Second Madame Yie tried to console the boy.

But the boy just began to cry even louder: “I want my mommy! I want my mommy! You are not my mommy!”

Second Madam Yie began to rock him in her arms and start singing a little lullaby. “Rock rock rock, rock to grandma’s bridge, grandma calls me angel….”

But the kid wouldn’t stop crying. Divine Croc was getting really annoyed listening to this.

“Why are you trying to console the kid? If you going to kill him, then you might as well hurry up and kill him.”

“… a bag of candy, a bag of fruit, eat a bag and keep a bag.” Second Madame Yie kept on singing with a smile on her face.

Mu WanQing was shaking uncontrollably as the more she thought about what Divine Croc said the more frightened she became. According to Divine Croc, Second Madame Yie was going to kill the child, she was furious and afraid at the same time. Second Madame Yie endlessly tried to comfort the kid with another lullaby: “Good kid, mommy’s good little boy, good little boys go to sleep soon.” Her voice was filled with warmth and care that Mu WanQing could not bring herself to believe what Divine Croc just said.

“You kill a kid every day but yet you still put on this little act every time, have you no shame?” Divine Croc was furious.

“Don’t be so loud, you are going to scare my little baby,” Second Master Yie quietly told him.

Divine Croc suddenly reached out and tried to grab the kid, wanting to fling him to his death so he doesn’t have to listen to another minute of his crying. But even though he was fast, Second Madame Yie was faster still. Her body stepped aside like a ghost or apparition and Divine Croc’s move came up empty.

“Ai-yo! Third Brother, why are you trying to bully my baby for no reason?”

“I want to throw that little devil as far as I can so he will shut up!”

“My little darling baby, mommy loves you. Don’t be afraid of your ugly monstrous third uncle, he can’t beat your mommy.” Second Madame Yie softly tried to comfort the kid. “You are so cute, mommy has to play around with you for the night before killing you. Your mommy can’t bring herself to part with you yet.”

Mu WanQing almost threw up after hearing that. “This Second Madame Yie should indeed be ranked ahead of Divine Croc. This Yue Number Thew is stuck being ‘Vicious Demon Evil Fiend,’ he’s not going to get past her for the rest of his life!” She thought.

After failing on his first attempt, it seemed as if Divine Croc knew that any other attempt would just be futile as he just paced back and forth, cursing fiercely at her under his breath. Suddenly, he shouted: “Get the hell out of here! Where is that kid? Why isn’t he here to ask me to become his master?”

Two yellow shirt men slowly stepped out from behind a rock and stopped as far away from Divine Croc as they could. It was the 2 men that Divine Croc instructed to look after Duan Yu.

“Your… your humble servant climbed up that cliff, but… but he’s not there. We can’t… can’t find him anywhere.” One of them stuttered out.

Mu WanQing was shocked: “Did… did he fall off the cliff?”
