"Sir, are you leaving?" the village chief put down his smoking pipe and asked Shen Qing.
Shen Qing put away his belongings from the Spirit Communication Realm and said indifferently, "My injuries have mostly healed now; it's time for me to leave."
The village chief looked at Shen Qing, his expression showing he had something to say but hesitating to speak.
Shen Qing took the initiative to say, "Go ahead, is there something you'd like me to do?"
The village chief bowed deeply and sincerely said, "Sir, you saved our entire village, you are our great benefactor. It is only right and proper for us to repay you accordingly. I dare not trouble you further, but there's nothing much in this remote and barren place to entertain someone of your status, I hope you won't hold it against us."
"I do have an unusual request."
"Let's hear it."
