"It's alright, Elder, we understand. If we were attacked like you, we would probably do the same," Bao-Jin waved his hand and said that he understood their feelings before turning to Zheng-Fu to ask how he would proceed with this matter.

Um, um, um! (Nod)

Zheng-Fu did not answer, just nodded a few times as a signal to Bao-Jin that he could decide what to do next because before arriving, Zheng-Fu had already told him that he would not show up if it was not necessary.

Therefore, all decisions were solely the responsibility of Bao-Jin. As for Bao-Bao, she did not say anything as she nestled happily on Zheng-Fu's back.

"Then let all of you stay in the village. I'll let someone prepare a place for you," said the elder, stretching his hand and inviting them all into the village.

"Thank you, Elder, for letting us stay. And of course, if the bandits invade, we'll help you," Bao-Jin respectfully said, seriously beating himself in the chest that he and his group were ready to help this village if bandits invaded.

Of course, Bao-Jin did not think that it was because they had Zheng-Fu, but because his subconscious told him to do so. Zheng-Fu could see from his determined gaze. And at this moment, he could sense three or four skilled men not far from the village.

The three of them were hiding well. But they could not escape Zheng-Fu's sense. Plus, their psychic killing was overflowing like that. Even if the ordinary person at the Nascent Soul stage or the high level of the Golden Score stage had practised the psychic skill well, they could still detect it.

After that, they all entered the village. Along the way, Bao-Jin talked with the elder about many things. The more he talked to the elder, the closer they became. It was as if people who liked similar things met, only their ages were different.

The young man, who had spoken in displeasure earlier, continued to stare at Bao-Jin's group. No matter what, he still could not accept them. But while looking at them, he noticed Zheng-Fu carrying someone. Then he met Bao-Bao's face on Zheng-Fu's back, and when the two of them met their eyes, the grim face of the young man immediately turned red.

"What? Staring at me and suddenly turning away!" the young woman said when she saw the young man staring at her face before turning the other way.

"He might feel shy because of you," Zheng-Fu spoke in a low voice with a sly smile forming at the corner of his mouth.

"What do you mean!? Why does he have to be shy because of me?" the young woman asked Zheng-Fu with a puzzled expression.

"Nothing. You'll know it yourself!" Zheng-Fu did not answer anymore. Just put a smile on his face and let her think for herself.

Tsk!!!

As soon as they entered the village, they arrived at an old house that seemed like no one had lived there for a long time. But the appliances looked good. The elder said that this house belonged to a villager who had fled the village a long time ago and left this house.

After that, this place became a lodge for travelers who passed by this way by default. This time, too, Bao-Jin's group could stay here. But suddenly, Zheng-Fu's face changed when he felt the magic spell covering the house.

"Huh!!! Alright, I understood, it's actually like this... Let's see what you guys have to show me!" Zheng-Fu spoke in his throat with a smile, looking at the smiling elder.

"Hopefully, this house is not too narrow," said the elder with a smile on his face.

"No, not at all, Elder. This is too big. We must thank you very much for giving us accommodation. If the bandits invade during our stay, we'll be pleased to help you with all our might."

"Thank you very much… Then we won't bother you anymore. Please rest and relax. We must excuse ourselves," the elder immediately said goodbye to Bao-Jin's group, as they had already brought them to this house.

"Yes, sir!"

After saying their goodbyes, the elder and the others walked away and then disappeared from the sight of Bao-Jin's group. Bao-Jin and the others did not think much. Everyone here should have their own job. All of them walked into the area of the house that the elder had prepared, except for Zheng-Fu and Bao-Bao who was on his back and had not moved.

Huh...?

"Why don't you go in?" the young woman saw that Zheng-Fu was not following her brother and asked curiously.

"I'm waiting for you to get off my back," Zheng-Fu replied with a teasing smile.

Ah!!!

Thump!!!

"You don't have to tell me, I'm going to go down right now. Who would want to stay like that forever!!!?" When the young woman heard Zheng-Fu's answer, her face flushed red as she ejected from Zheng-Fu's back and said angrily before hurriedly running after her brother.

"Crazy guy!!!"

"Sigh... Crazy but not stupid!" Zheng-Fu shouted upon hearing her final words before smiling, thinking of the picture of his lover, Qi-Fu-Er. Then he acted like he was walking inside the house but stopped halfway, turned around, and walked out.

On a tree far away from the forest village...

Ah!!!

"Why doesn't that kid go inside?"

"Or will he know that there's a magic spell around the house?"

"How is it possible? A kid like him has no way of knowing the magic spell that's been placed on it? More importantly, that old bastard didn't say anything about it either. How would it be possible for him to know this? That kid did not go in, maybe because he was curious about this village."

"But this is not going according to our plan!!!"

"Come on, just a kid, let him go. Somehow, the rest of them all got in. Especially the woman who came with them, who had just entered just now. Hmm... both white and chubby!"

"So, let's start our plan!"

"Hm..."

The three guys that Zheng-Fu could sense were the people who were talking now. In fact, this village was controlled by the bandits. They used the villagers to entice the group of travelers into their traps, and if they did not follow, these three would kill everyone in the village.

Therefore, the elder had to pretend and trick Bao-Jin's group into the house where the spell was cast around the house to imprison and seal their energy. And the reason that the elder and his men left immediately was because, after this, the three men would be the ones to deal with the task themselves.

Zheng-Fu did not immediately enter the house because he already knew about the spell sealed. So, he walked back out and looked around like a curious child before disappearing somewhere in this village.

The place he was going to was the elder's house to follow those who walked back out. They were gathered here. Each of them had a serious look on their faces, especially the elder and the middle-aged man sitting together in the middle of the hall.

"Father, have we done the right thing that…"

"So, what would you let me do? If we didn't do that, those bandits would kill the people of our village, and even your own daughter might be harmed by them."

The middle-aged man opened the question with a sad and hurtful face about their actions. The elder had the same feeling. But how would they deal with that since the lives of the villagers were already in the hands of the bandits?

"I can't stand it anymore, Grandfather... with this immoral matter. I don't want us to have this kind of sin. I'll go out and tell those people myself!" Along with saying, he was going to go out and tell Bao-Jin's group about the thieves' plans because he felt pity for the young woman he had seen today.

"You can't do that, Xiao-Fong… You know well that if you do that, what will happen to the people of our village, your mother, your sister, and your aunts who raised you. Don't you think about their lives!?" The elder immediately interrupted the young man with a serious look.

"Damn it!!!"

Bang!!! (The sound of smashing something)

"Aren't we doing anything else?!" said the young man. His expression was displeased with what had happened, and he was unable to do anything but let it be.

"If we were stronger than this, it would be good!" the middle-aged man, the young man's father, said with a heavy expression. But at that moment, a loud voice rang out.

"So, you want the energy to make you stronger!?"

Huh...?

As soon as the mysterious sound ended, a figure appeared without anyone's knowledge. That figure was Zheng-Fu himself. He had used the energy disguise skill and had been hiding and eavesdropping on these people talking for a while until now he had the opportunity to speak out.

"You are the kid in the group of travelers just now. You didn't…"

"Didn't enter the trap house, right!?"

Ah!!!

The elder and everyone in the room were startled. They all immediately got up, hearing Zheng-Fu's words, before a cold sweat ran down their foreheads.

But the elder quickly regained consciousness as he smiled and spoke, "Young man, what are you talking about? Where is the trap? What I'm going to say is, why didn't you go and rest!?" the elder continued to say with a smile that explained he did not know what Zheng-Fu was talking about. The others started to calm down and make their faces look as normal as they could.

"Is that so…? Hmmm... I'm just joking, so don't pay any attention, Elder. Besides, I think what's going to happen will be fun too. After all, the three guys outside the village would die. And if all three of them die, what will happen!?" Zheng-Fu could play the same role as the elder as well.

But his words did not make the group of them smile or feel good.

"What did you say!?"

The elder and the middle-aged man immediately shouted in shock in unison, hearing Zheng-Fu's words. If that were the real case, their village would surely not escape a cruel fate. But before the elder and the middle-aged man could say anything, Zheng-Fu's voice sounded again with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Do you still want more strength?"
