"Good luck with my gifts!"
Before the group of thugs left, Zheng-Fu threw his Qi energy wave needles at each of them. The needles would work after these people were more than ten lis away from him. They would cause these people's bodies to explode into pieces of flesh.
PFOOOOOM!!!
BOOOOOOOM!!!
Everything was as Zheng-Fu expected. Shortly after the thugs ran out of the village, the explosion sounded. It was so loud that everyone in the village panicked.
"What happened? What was that explosion?"
"Or did someone invade our village?"
Thump! Thump! Thump!!
"Big brother, those thugs just now are all dead, sir. Their bodies exploded terribly as if they were crushed by a mountain. And it was at the same spot where the explosion sound occurred just now!"
Shortly after the explosion sounded, a young man rushed to the tavern with a panicked expression to report what had happened.
"They're all dead? How is it possible? They just left the village a few moments ago." The young man was shocked and extremely worried about what had happened to those people. He was not afraid of what happened to them. But he was afraid of those who took action.
"It's good that they're dead. I hate them so much! If I knew who had taken action on them, I would agree to be his wife!" the young woman said in a satisfied tone. And when she said the last sentence, she turned to look at Zheng-Fu.
Eccch!
Zheng-Fu, who was looking at the situation and taking a sip of tea at the same time, even choked out the tea that he had just sipped when he heard the young woman's words and saw her looking at him.
'Does she know that I did it!?' Zheng-Fu thought in disbelief. He did not think she would know it was his action. Because the person who could perceive it had to be the identity at the Half-Deity stage only.
"What's wrong, Brother?" The young man saw Zheng-Fu choke out the tea, so he walked over to him and asked with a worried expression. He owned this tavern; it was natural for him to take good care of his customers.
"I'm fine, Elder Brother. I was just thinking about something and accidentally drank the hot tea, so I choked. Thank you, Elder Brother, for your concern. But can I ask you something? Did you just come back from the Heavenly Command Sect?" Zheng-Fu found an excuse to lie to the other party before changing the topic.
"Yes, Young Brother. I and all these brothers from our village have just returned from the Heavenly Command Sect. We were sent to cultivate there half a year ago. But because something happened at Heavenly Command Sect, we just came back," the young man replied in a very friendly manner.
"Ah, I see. Judging from your energy level, you're a strong martial cultivator. For even those thugs are afraid of you. In the future, you'll definitely join the Heavenly Command Sect's great force," Zheng-Fu said. He had quite a bit of admiration for this young man.
"You're exaggerating, Younger Brother. I'm just a person from this small village. Just working as a guardian in Green Mist Forest City is already great, without even thinking of joining a large force in the Heavenly Command Sect. But if I was given that opportunity, I would rather join the Defeat Heavenly Force, the Heavenly Command Sect Savior Hero's force, than any other force," the young man speaks modestly. He was satisfied with just working in Green Mist Forest City. His background was not great, so he did not dare to dream big. However, he still had dreams of joining the Defeat Heavenly Force.
"The Defeat Heavenly Force!?"
"The Heavenly Command Sect Savior Hero!?"
Zheng-Fu was very shocked by the young man's words. At first, he was delighted that his force had such a good reputation that everyone wanted to join. But what shocked him was the alias that the young man called him.
"Yes, Younger Brother. The Heavenly Command Sect Savior Hero is an amazing person. He's younger than me but is extremely strong. He is also a leader of the formidable Defeat Heavenly Force. Everyone wants to join his force. But that's only a dream. Because becoming a member of Defeat Heavenly Force is not easy!"
The young man greatly admired Zheng-Fu and his force. But he did not even know that the person he was admiring was right in front of him. Moreover, this person also had the absolute right to accept him into the force. With just a single word from this person, every young man in this Resting Village could instantly become a member of the Defeat Heavenly Force if they wanted to.
"Umm! What if the Defeat Heavenly Force you mentioned came here to recruit more people and you got accepted?" Zheng-Fu, still pretending to be innocent, asked the young man.
"If that's really the case, I'll treat the whole village with liquor and food, including all the guests who come to Resting Village. But it can't possibly be like that!" The young man had a delighted expression at the beginning. But when he thought that it would be impossible, his expression turned slightly sad. However, he then smiled, looking at Zheng-Fu with a friendly face, and offered, "Sigh, forget it! Anyway, you're really fun to talk to. Well then, today I'll treat you with liquor and food."
"Oh, great! I have no objections. Free food and drinks like this, I really like it!" Zheng-Fu replied unashamedly. And his words greatly improved the atmosphere inside this tavern.
Zheng-Fu then joined the young man and his comrades who had returned from the Heavenly Command Sect for a drink. They were all the strongest people in the village. As a result of cultivating at Heavenly Command Sect and during their journey.
In addition, Zheng-Fu learned a lot about the region, including forests, mountains, hunting grounds, and several dangerous areas. Most importantly, an ancient ruin that had been discovered decades ago, to which Zheng-Fu was particularly interested. He had wanted to explore ancient ruins for a long time. Since he had come to this world, he had read many books about ancient ruins. He knew that these ancient ruins were extremely mysterious and contained many hidden treasures.
But if this ancient ruin had been discovered a long time ago, the treasure within would not be left for him to collect. Anyway, he still wanted to go and see for himself what it was like.
"Thank you so much, Elder Brother, for telling me such a good story. I promise to repay you and your comrades for sure. Maybe I can make your dream come true!" Zheng-Fu said with a very comfortable feeling. He intended to pay back by making the young man's dream come true. He would send people here to recruit these people to join his force.
Ha ha ha!
"Your words are really funny, Younger Brother. But never mind! If it's as true as you say, I'll be very grateful to you for blessing us," said the young man. He and his comrades laughed joyfully. They thought Zheng-Fu's words were very funny. Anyway, they felt good about these words.
But in this group, there was one person who did not think the same as the others. That person was the young woman who had been constantly staring at Zheng-Fu since the beginning. She watched his every move and action. And she found that Zheng-Fu was definitely not an ordinary young man. Her intuition had never failed when she thought of something. But she did not dare to assert it or ask him directly.
"Never mind! When the time is right, you'll know whether my words will come true. Hmm, it's late today, so I'm going to take a rest." Zheng-Fu did not want to explain further. He would wait for these people to know when the time was right.
"All right! Good night, Younger Brother!" The young man nodded to Zheng-Fu with a face flushed from the effects of the liquor. Before he turned to continue drinking with his comrades.
In the corridor on Resting Tavern's second floor...
Tap! Tap! Tap!!
"I didn't think women here liked to stalk men!" Just as Zheng-Fu was about to arrive in his room, he stopped and spoke with a smile at the corner of his mouth.
"I already thought that you must not be an ordinary young man. And the person who dealt with those thugs must be you as well, right?"
After Zheng-Fu finished speaking, a young woman slowly walked out of the darkness behind him with a seductive smile.
"Why do you think that? You saw that I was sitting at the table all the time. I didn't get up and go anywhere, so how can I do as you say?" Zheng-Fu turned back to the girl with a normal expression but blushed a little because of the liquor he drank.
"It was just as you said. But Big Brother used to tell me that someone very strong could do that. And the first thing that got me thinking was that you could tell those bastards that my Big Brother was coming in, even though you were sitting inside the tavern. The second thing is that you can tell that thug's energy level accurately. If you're not really that strong, how can you do that?" the young woman describes what she observes and her assumptions. She knew that ordinary people could not do the things that Zheng-Fu did. Even her elder brother could not do it.
"Really not bad! I must commend your assumption; you're right! It was my action that killed those thugs. But isn't it good? Or do you want something more from me?" Zheng-Fu really admired this young woman; both her observation and analysis were excellent. Even though she was not a strong cultivator. However, Zheng-Fu knew that she was definitely not just coming to talk about this. So, he asked directly.
Ah!
Although the young woman had already prepared herself well, seeing Zheng-Fu's sharp eyes staring at her, her heart was beating so fast that she began to struggle to breathe. Because she knew that if such a strong person wanted to kill her, it would not be difficult at all. But before long, she regained her composure and clenched her teeth tightly before telling him what she wanted.
"I... I... I want to beg you! May you help my Big Brother make his dream come true? I know you can do it. Otherwise, you wouldn't have said that just now!"
What the young woman wanted was her elder brother's dream. She wanted him to join the Defeat Heavenly Force. However, she thought that just a simple request wouldn't work.
Hmm!!!
Sigh!!!
The young woman's heart raced even more before she continued, "Of course, I won't just beg. I would gladly give you my body in exchange for this. Even if you let me be your slave, I'll accept!"
