“Why are you forcing me?” The witch doctor was no longer pretending. He revealed his darkest and most sinister side. His resentful gaze slowly swept across the villagers. “Why are you forcing me? So what if I went to the hospital to treat my illness? Am I to wait for death in this damned backward village?!”
Now that things had come to this, he no longer needed to pretend.
Anyway, those people would know he had been to the hospital after they discovered his surgical wound.
He stopped fighting it and simply admitted it.
They couldn’t believe that those words were coming from the witch doctor’s mouth. All the villagers, including the village chief, were stunned.
The witch doctor couldn’t be bothered to continue talking to the villagers. He turned to Pei Yao. “Hand over the Deity Stone. Otherwise, I’ll kill her!”
He had always wanted the Deity Stone.
The guardian beast in the temple usually wouldn’t attack the people in the village. But once anyone touched the Deity Stone, the beast would attack indiscriminately.
He knew that he was no match for that beast, so he just thought about it and didn’t dare to make any moves.
Now, someone else had stolen the Deity Stone.
He just needed to get his hands on it and then leave this village. He could use the Deity Stone to exchange for a large sum of money. He would have a flourishing future!
With this thought in mind, the witch doctor started to fantasize about his beautiful life in the future.
He didn’t believe that this young lady’s companions would let her die.
Chi Jiao’s back was facing the witch doctor, so he couldn’t see her nonchalant expression.
Seeing the corners of Chi Jiao’s lips curl up, Pei Yao knew that the witch doctor was in trouble. She cleared her throat and said to him, “I advise you to calm down and let go of her. Otherwise…”
Otherwise, you’ll be the one to suffer.
However, before Pei Yao could finish her sentence, the witch doctor clicked his tongue impatiently. “I say, you women are really full of nonsense. I’ll count to ten. Hurry up and hand over the Deity Stone, or I’ll really kill her!”
He couldn’t continue living in this village. If he couldn’t get the Deity Stone, he would face a fate worse than death.
Therefore, he might as well take a gamble.
“Ten.”
“Nine.”
“Eight.”
“Seven.”
“Six.”
“Five.”
“…”
The witch doctor had just counted to five when Chi Jiao, who was under his control, suddenly moved.
She suddenly raised her hand, her slender and fair fingers pressing gently on the witch doctor’s arm.
A numb yet painful strange feeling spread across his entire arm. The witch doctor’s hand loosened and the dagger fell to the ground with a thud.
Immediately after, Chi Jiao grabbed his arm and threw him over her shoulder.
“Oh!” The witch doctor cried out in pain as his body hit the ground heavily.
But Chi Jiao didn’t give him a chance to even catch his breath. She stepped on his wound.
Suddenly, a pig-like squeal came out of the witch doctor’s mouth.
“Ahhh! You stepped on my surgical wound! Hurry, take your foot away!” The witch doctor was in so much pain that he felt like he was going to pass out. His surgical wound was still fresh, and the feeling of having it stepped on was indescribable.
The faint smell of blood came from the witch doctor’s body. It was enough to prove that Chi Jiao had caused his wound to split open again.
“Didn’t the doctor arrange for you to rest after the operation? Grandpa, if you’re so easily agitated, it won’t be good for your recovery..” Chi Jiao smiled at him.
