Chapter 120: Sister, I’m Hungry~
***
“Why are you back?!”
From far away, Lin Muyu could hear the village chief’s voice carrying surprise and anger, his tone full of disbelieving panic.
“And why has all my money turned into bones?”
“Why can’t we come back? This is our home! And you’re nothing but a lackey of monsters!”
Lin Muyu was all too familiar with this voice, it was Sister Mo Youhua’s voice, filled with long-suppressed anger.
“Why are they confronting each other now? Shouldn’t they have waited for me first?”
Lin Muyu’s brow furrowed sharply, and her pace quickened as she hurried toward the village.
The village’s current location was a good dozen kilometers away from where Su Wanqing was fighting the skeleton giant, so the occasional tremors from that battle hadn’t yet disturbed the peace here.
When Lin Muyu hurried into the village, she immediately saw two groups of people in a tense standoff at the empty space by the village entrance.
On one side were four people led by Sister Mo Youhua, all with tense expressions and eyes full of vigilance.
On the other side was the village chief’s family, with the village chief standing at the front, his face so dark it could drip water.
The surrounding area was filled with villagers watching the commotion, most with their heads lowered and eyes averted, clearly not allies of the village chief.
They were the silent faction who usually kept quiet due to the village chief’s threats.
As for those true lackeys who had committed evil deeds alongside the village chief, they had already been dealt with by the demonic puppets when they were chasing Lin Xiaoyun earlier.
Seeing this scene, Lin Muyu quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Good thing Mo Youhua and the others didn’t seem to be at a disadvantage, the conflict must have just erupted not long ago.
“Sister!”
At the edge of the crowd, Lin Xiaoyun, who had been idly kicking small stones out of boredom, immediately spotted Lin Muyu approaching.
Her big eyes instantly lit up, and she immediately ran toward her.
She wasn’t originally from this village anyway, so she had no interest in the villagers’ quarrels.
She just found it curious, humans were so complex.
There were kind-hearted good people like Sister Lin Muyu, and scum like the village chief who betrayed their own kind.
You know, among their demon race, betraying one’s own kind was a bottom line, let alone becoming lackeys of other races.
That would make one despised by all demons.
Lin Xiaoyun’s clear voice immediately drew the attention of all the villagers present.
Seeing the conspicuous Lin Muyu, the village chief’s family’s faces instantly became even uglier.
Meanwhile, the three women who had returned with Lin Xiaoyun breathed a sigh of relief, they had backup now.
“Sister, hug me~”
Lin Xiaoyun ran to Lin Muyu in a few steps and eagerly threw herself into her arms.
Her fluffy tail wrapped around Lin Muyu’s slender waist, and her small face nuzzled against her chest, while the two snow-white cat ears on her head swayed excitedly back and forth.
For the demon race, liking someone meant liking them, they never cared whether it was in public, only wanting to show their most intimate side to the person they cared about.
“Xiaoyun, get down quickly, everyone’s watching!”
Lin Xiaoyun didn’t feel embarrassed, but Lin Muyu couldn’t handle it.
Her waist was being tickled by the restless cat tail wrapped around it, and her cheeks immediately flushed with a light blush as she gently urged.
She still wanted to maintain some dignity!
“Mmm… Sister, I’m hungry,”
Lin Xiaoyun didn’t get down immediately, but instead leaned close to Lin Muyu’s ear and whispered coquettishly.
“Sister, I’m so hungry~ You said before that next time we met, you’d let me eat my fill~”
As she spoke, she licked her rosy lips, looking absolutely adorable.
“?!”
Lin Muyu was stunned.
When did that happen?
She quickly searched through her memories and finally remembered that when she parted with Xiaoyun last time, she had indeed said something like that casually.
Lin Muyu helplessly patted her forehead.
Why did she say something like that?!
And since when do cat demons like sucking blood? Isn’t that what vampires do?
As for how she discovered that Xiaoyun had been sucking her blood… well, duh, she woke up in the morning with sharp fang marks on her neck.
Anyone who wasn’t an idiot could figure it out.
Remembering how dizzy and lightheaded she felt from anemia after Xiaoyun sucked her blood last time, Lin Muyu still felt a bit scared.
But then again, now that she had embarked on the path of cultivation, her constitution was completely different from before, so she probably wouldn’t get anemic again… right?
She quietly comforted herself in her heart.
“Haha, we’ll talk about eating your fill later.”
Lin Muyu gently pried Lin Xiaoyun, who was clinging to her like a sticky plaster, away from her body and said helplessly.
“Let me handle the current situation first.”
Although being held by Xiaoyun felt very comfortable, Lin Muyu still had to consider her dignity.
And… she didn’t want to get shot!
Though this wasn’t that previous world anymore.
After dealing with Xiaoyun, Lin Muyu’s gaze immediately turned to the village chief, who was quietly backing away and trying to escape, her voice carrying a hint of coldness:
“Oh, Village Chief, where are you planning to go? It seems like we haven’t settled our accounts yet.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she released the full pressure of a cultivator from her body, directing it straight at the village chief’s family.
The village chief and his family immediately felt as if they were being pressed down by an invisible boulder, their legs went weak, and they almost collapsed on the spot, their breathing becoming rapid.
The surrounding villagers were also affected by this sudden pressure, all showing terrified expressions and instinctively backing away several steps, their eyes filled with awe as they looked at Lin Muyu.
“Sister is so cool! So beautiful!”
Only Lin Xiaoyun seemed completely unaffected by this pressure, standing to the side excitedly clapping her hands, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Lin Muyu, like a complete little fangirl, generously praising her.
“Am I really that impressive?”
Lin Muyu felt a bit embarrassed from the praise and scratched her head.
She was just a little shrimp in the Qi Refining stage, only impressive in front of ordinary people.
Though she said that, she still felt secretly pleased inside.
After all, having always been like an ant before, this was the first time someone had praised her so directly, and anyone would be happy about it.
Seeing no hope of escape and being pressed down by the spiritual pressure until he couldn’t breathe, the village chief immediately pulled his wife down to kneel on the ground with him, banging his head on the ground while crying and begging for mercy:
“Fairy, please spare us! Please spare us! I had no choice! That wolf demon threatened me with the lives of the entire village. If I didn’t comply, he would slaughter the whole village!”
The village chief’s wife also quickly chimed in from the side, her voice tearful:
“Yes, yes, Fairy, we were really forced into it! You’re so kind-hearted, just treat us like a fart and let us go. We’ll never dare do it again!”
Their daughter-in-law also knelt down, but kept her head lowered without saying a word, her shoulders trembling slightly, whether from fear or guilt.
Only the village chief’s son remained standing in place, his face ashen, hands clenched tightly into fists, brow furrowed, not knowing what he was scheming in his heart.
“Son, you kneel down too! Apologize to the Fairy!”
Seeing their son still standing, the village chief and his wife hurriedly whispered urgently, their voices full of anxiety.
At a time like this, what was the point of acting tough?
If they angered this cultivator, their whole family would be finished!
“I won’t kneel!”
The man suddenly raised his head, his voice full of defiance.
“She’s just a woman! Why should I kneel to her? I’ve never knelt to anyone in my entire life!”
In his view, Lin Muyu was just a petite woman, how could he kneel to a woman?
Even if he didn’t die, he’d lose all face and have no reason to keep living.
“Oh, quite the backbone.”
Lin Muyu raised an eyebrow and pulled out her usual fire poker from her storage pouch, gripping it and spinning it in her hand, her eyes carrying a hint of amusement.
“But I wonder if your backbone can match your actual strength~”
Lin Muyu had recently come to understand a principle.
In this world, strength was supreme. If she lacked strength, she would have been killed by the village chief and his gang long ago.
