Little Yuteng saw through her, unhappily she said with a pout, “Young mistress, don’t you be thinking that just because you won’t kill them they’d offer you the same courtesy. These are all bandits and outlaws. If snakies didn’t kill them, there’d be nobody alive in Willow Village right now. And not just the Willow Villagers, your family as well.”
“……”
Cheng Xiao Xiao didn’t say anything. She knew that little Yuteng was telling the truth. That, however, didn’t make her feel any better. She had, indeed, heard her younger brother reported that the snakies had killed several dozens of people, but she was too distracted at the time and didn’t think much of it. Now that she had the time to reflect, she was starting to feel awful about it.
“Young mistress, let me tell you something. This is a place where only the strongest will survive. You want to live peacefully you will need to kill others, because they want to kill you. Certainly you aren’t going to just stand around and wait for them to do so. So your only option is to kill them first. You must accept this fact. Honestly this is not such a big deal. Human and vicious beasts are all the same. If you can’t tame them, kill them!”
Looking at the little person who kept going on and on talking about killing and such, Cheng Xiao Xiao didn’t know what to make of all these. Was this really going to be her life from this point forward?
Listening to her father’s story, she understood there more troubles will follow. And to take care of these troubled matters, she didn’t think not killing anyone would be an option. But killing….
Frowning slightly, she looked at the littler person sitting on a branch and said, “Yuteng, from now on, you take care of the killing!”
“Ha ha ha! No problem! That’s wonderful!” little Yuteng almost clapped her hands in rejoice.
Cheng Xiao Xiao was completely speechless. Looking at little Yuteng who’s laughing ever so happily, she wondered if she has lost her mind. Why was she so happy about killing people?
Little Yuteng sensed her perplexity and smiled, “Young mistress, Yuteng has not gone crazy. Any one I killed from now on will turn into my fertilizer. That will allow me to grow faster!”
“Fertilizer….”
Right then and there, the cute little kid turned into a human-eating little devil in Cheng Xiao Xiao’s eyes.
After four hours progressing in turtle-like speed, the hundred something wounded finally arrived at the town of Daling.
Their appearances shocked the public. Nobody could comprehend how they could have left so valiantly and gallantly and came back all injured after just half a day.
Innkeeper Zhu was astonished when he heard the news, even Deacon Bai and Deacon Lin were wordless. This was simply beyond their wildest imagination.
The people that they sent out have yet to returned so they didn’t yet have the details of what had happened. The only thing they could be certain of was that these people were defeated at the Cheng’s.
Shortly thereafter, 10 or so wounded VIPs appeared at the inn, they were Long Yuze and his lot. Those from School of Divine Condor had returned to the Ning’s.
When the Ning’s saw the wounded, they were so shocked that their eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets. Not one of them returned unscathed!
Shortly thereafter, everybody learned of three very important news:
One, Cheng Biyuan, master of the house of Cheng, was the one and same from the Cheng’s of Emperor City, the famed elite boy genius at one point.
Two, there was, indeed, a mystical spring in the Cheng’s possession!
Three, Cheng Biyuan, master of the house of Cheng, along with his two sons were all beast tamers. All the folks from School of Divine Condor, the Long’s and Xue’s of Emperor City and Xu’s from City of Huang could confirm that.
When the news spread, the whole world was shocked. This was truly astounding news!
