However, Chang Xiuying saw the desperation in Yao Yun's eyes. She hesitated a bit before tying herself up again and stepped over her tied hands. She sighed ruefully as she complained inwardly about not being able to give a beating.
[What are you doing, host?]
She leaned back against the concrete wall, "Observing while relaxing?"
[... are you going to take action or not?]
"Clearly not."
[What the heck, host? You can beat that ugly man in just one second! Why can't you act?]
"Can you see? Can you even see it? The look in YaoYao's eyes," She pointed with her lips.
[There is desperation for the kill. What about it?]
"Xue, oh my dear Xue. If he's that desperate to fight for me, how can I not accept his sentiment? I'll just interfere when things got out of ha... oh. He's coming to hold me hostage. Gaaawd." Chang Xiuying rolled her eyes towards the running burly man.
The man tightly grabbed Chang Xiuying and puts his arm over her neck, "Don't move or I'll kill this girl!"
The three children stopped their tracks and shockingly looked at the man that was holding their precious goddess as a hostage. Yao Yun panted heavily as smoke came out, small growls came out of his mouth, and his eyes turned more vicious than earlier.
This man keeps on provoking him!
Alexis gulped as he can feel his surrounding became colder and colder.
Chang Xiuying's eyes widened as she looked towards Yao Yun. His sanity is out! He could not discern foe to friends now! This is bad!
She swayed her feet back and used the momentum to grab the man's neck. They're all shock to see, except Yao Yun, on how nimble Chang Xiuying was. She used the force in her legs to twist the man as she used her weight to swing the man towards Yao Yun.
Yao Yun roared loudly as he brandished his claws towards the thrown man. The man tried to retaliate but it was too late now. Even though he dodged, Yao Yun's claws were suddenly faster as it cuts through the man's stomach like paper.
Murder.
This was forbidden inside the village. The criminals will be isolated away from the village and were ordered to never step in the village until they die. Such as age restrictions never exist in this plane neither will it be established. Murder is murder. Even as a form of self-defense, they'll be isolated.
However, they are being monitored discreetly. But in the previous years, the monitoring team was always knocked unconscious and later when they woke up, the one they're monitoring was gone. No one knows what happened as they can only go back without any harvest.
Alexis released Chang Xiuying. She never left her bewildered eyes on Yao Yun, as the kid still has the same ferocity in him. They were worried about Yao Yun's act of murder. Although they understood why he did it, it's still a crime.
Alexis and Shin Meina tried to drag the heavy body away but a portal suddenly opened then a voice came out. "Big bro, is everything okay there? Oh shit! What the f*ck?!"
He loudly cursed as he saw the dead body of his comrade being dragged by these two children. His curse attracted a lot of curious onlookers inside the hideout as they cursed out too.
They stood frozen in their feet as they look towards a beast who has blood on its claws. A calm man silently glanced over the other portal that was slowly being closed. When the portal was completely closed, he suddenly released an ear-piercing shout, "MURDER!!!"
The resting beast suddenly yanked as it bolted towards the men in a span of a second. The three children tried to catch him but they only grabbed the air. His figure was blurry as it jumped from place to place, where corpses will be there once the descent.
"MONSTER!" Few of the men ran with their lives on the line as the one always left behind will only be butchered up.
"Eek!"
Yao Yun's figure was now soaked with blood, some dripped out from his fur and from his fangs.
The blood-curdling screams of the men gathered a lot of people outside as they held their own weapon towards the house. They repeatedly got shocked when the windows that were already painted with red was once again painted by it.
They steeled their hearts to apprehend the culprit who dares to murder inside the village. But then, Chang Xiuying's little figure abruptly came out of the house, her clothes were covered with splattered blood.
"Please, hold down your weapons. We'll take care of it." She calmly said before closing and locking the door.
The villagers were flabbergasted.
"What... what did our little goddess... said?"
"... she said that they'll take care of it..."
"Nonsense!! They're just kids! How can they suppress such a vicious criminal?!"
"Oh my marsh! Let's save them and stop that killer!"
"OOH!!!" They raised their weapon in unison.
BAM!
The wooden door broke into pieces as a little figure shot out from it. A ghastly beast stood at the doorway while being held back by Alexis and Shin Meina but it was all in vain as they were thrown off too.
"A monster!" The villagers hardened their hearts to kill this beast in exchange for their lives!
"That's the white-eyed monster from 2 years ago! It came back to hunt on humans!"
"Kill it!"
"YEAH!!"
They charged towards the raging beast. However, a weak little figure stood out in front of the group while she firmly pressed her stomach. She looked back at them fiercely, "We'll handle it."
"Ying ah..."
"Little Ying..."
"You can't do it! You're all just children!"
She affirmed her feet, "Believe me."
"No."
A crisp voice suddenly rang out from both of her sides.
She looked over the man's attractive emerald eyes and the woman's bewitching cognac eyes, "Uncle Jiang... Auntie Irene... why..."
"I don't want to lose you," Jiang Hao said as melancholy flashed by his eyes. This little and fragile child is his most treasured and precious existence in his life. By losing his friend through it and his promise to his benefactor, added by the fact that he truly loved this child as his own daughter, he didn't want to lose her.
"Such a precious child shouldn't be risking her life in this matter. Let us handle it," Irene patted Chang Xiuying's head as she revealed her sweetest smile.
"You don't understand," Chang Xiuying anxiously said.
"Ying'Er, don't worry, we won't kill that beast. We'll just suppress him."
Chang Xiuying's short eyebrows creased. 'That's Yao Yun!'
...
In the depths of the forest, a huge rabbit ear popped out from one of the bushes as multiple ears popped out consecutively. A large sniffing nose came out as the big head of the rabbit came out.
It's black eyes grew wide as it turned its head towards the village. The little ones popped out of the brushes as they scratched their necks with their feet. They also sniffed something as they turned their heads towards the village.
'Big bro!'
'Yun'Er!'
They hopped wildly as they slowly transform into small children and rushed off in Mach 1.
...
Jiang Hao and Irene took their battle stances as they faced off the raging beast. Chang Xiuying was held back as she was slightly in a bad mood, ignoring her words were clearly a show of distrust towards her. But then, she thought, that her words mean nothing if she's a child. How frustrating. So frustrating.
If she can only knock these people out and retrieve Yao Yun back. It'll be great.
If she can have a bottle of sleeping gas... buy? The system!
'Xue! How much is a bottle of sleeping gas?!'
[150 Rubies.]
'Buy me four and a gas mask!'
[A gas mask costs for 375 Rubies. A total of 975 rubies was deducted from your account. 39, 025 Rubies remained.]
She felt the item appeared in her head, she held her breath as she suddenly released one bottle. A huge amount of smoke came out and people started to wobble. Chang Xiuying quickly wears the gas mask over her head.
Lots of people passed out as the range of the smoke was wider than she thought. From her previous life, it didn't range wide like this and was quickly blew off if it's released outside.
She was secretly pleased by this result. She didn't linger more and came to retrieve Yao Yun but what surprised her more was that he's still standing!
Chang Xiuying bolted towards him as she tackled him fiercely. Yao Yun retaliates and slashed his sharp claws to Chang Xiuying. She dodged and twisted her body, she back-kicked Yao Yun and followed by another side kick from her other leg.
Yao Yun skidded out and used the tree as his footing to give himself a boost to attack Chang Xiuying. She leaned sideways, caught Yao Yun's leg and threw him to the ground!
Cracks appeared on the ground then a huge depression came after. Yao Yun's eyes turned white as froth came out from his mouth as his fainted body lied collapsed on the ground.
