Chapter 14 (1/2)
”What do we do with this Senior Sister Qing?” Qin Mu barely , who still hadn't recovered from her shock
”Why don't we…” Granny Si's eyes lit up as she thought what to do She nudged Qin Mu, nearly pushi+ng the exhausted youth over, and mischievously said, ”Why don't we let her live so she can be your little bride?” You were so cute when you were a toddler, but now that you're all grown up, you aren't quite as cute However, you can have a chubby baby with this young lady That baby would definitely be very cute as well After all, granny still adores children…”
Qin Mu glanced at Senior Sister Qing whose head looked like that of a pig ”Granny, I think I'd rather not…”
Shunk!
”In that case, we should just kill her” Cripple said
Unknown to everyone else, Cripple had appeared behind Senior Sister Qing He stabbed her through her heart, an innocent smile on his face
”G-grandpa Cripple hy did you kill her?” Qin Mu asked, stuttering
Cripple pulled his knife out, his s a hint of confusion ”You said you didn't want her, so she obviously needed to die”
Qin Mu felt resentful, though not because he wanted toHe was just a child of eleven or twelve years after all—aside frohbouring villages were also fiendish existences It was rare for hie as him
Even without playmates, he still had the heart of a child
”Let's go hoe Chief declared as he turned his head to look at the ruins in the valley
”All of us are disabled in some way, so no one can carry you You will have to walk back on your own” Apothecary sht! We prepared the blood of the four spirits Since you didn't coht, I still have some with me”
Qin Mu nodded, receiving four porcelain cups that Apothecary handed to hiled to walk as he circulated the Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique and digested the power of the blood of the four spirits While he did that, he also told everyone about the weird things that had happened in the ruins
Granny Si cale face …”
The other villagers also found Qin Mu's account interesting, but none of them had any other opinions
As a result, Qin Mu couldn't help but ask, ”Granny, aren't all of you curious about the story behind the ruins?”
Apothecary sighed ”The kingdom of Gods which prospered in the past was reduced to ashes long ago Now you tell us that Gods' bones were clattering and dancing in the night Could it be that they still refuse to die?”
Deaf stared at Apothecary, reading his lips, then replied, ”Regardless of their unwillingness, what reason do they have to exist after already dying? There's no point in caring about the story of this place”
”are you really deaf?” Apothecary asked suspiciously, looking at Deaf's ears Forged from snohite iron, Deaf's ears were completely metal They replaced the flesh and blood ears he would've had and even covered up his ear canals
Deaf plucked the s jutted from the inner portions of the ears These needed to be inserted into his ear canals in order to keep the metal ears fixed to his head
”Stab these into your ear canals!” Deaf retorted coldly ”Then you'll find out if I'm really deaf!”
Apothecary shtly and kept quiet
Deaf then plugged his two iron ears back into his ear canals, turned to Mute, and said, ”These ears have been getting kind of uncomfortable recently I need you to help me adjust them”
Mute the Blacksmith nodded in reply
This elderly family left Qin Mu speechless He didn't understand how all of them could be so much more interested in Deaf's ear canals than the ruins
”Mu'er, there are simply too many mysteries in the Great Ruins,” Granny Si said ith a sdom of Gods in this valley, there countless otherabout the else done”
As their group walked in the direction of Disabled Elderly Village, Village Chief solemnly said, ”Since you were able to trade bloith that youth's treasure sword using just a sixteen inch wooden stick as a knife, it's clear that your strikes weren't weak This experience has helped you inificantly”
”Why can't I control objects like they did?” Qin Mu asked, his heart quivering ”My vital qi couldn't fill more than sixteen inches of thatbranch””
He was extremely envious of the youths ere able to control their swords using vital qi when he couldn't
Apothecary shook his head in silence The vital qi of an ordinary person had no attributes Controlling objects was impossible for them because ordinary vital qi could not be used to perform such techniques
As an ordinary hu able to use his vital qi to support sixteen inches of abranch then use thatbranch to fight against a martial practitioner like Senior Brother Qu without it breaking was already a remarkable accomplishment for Qin Mu
”Neither your Overlord Body nor your Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure have awakened yet, so there's no need for you to be worried” Village Chief gave Qin Mu a cal able to defeat a skilled practitioner of the Spirit Embryo Realm while in your unawakened state means that, once your Overlord Body actually awakens, you will be an entire level stronger than everyone else”
