”Possessed?!”

Some fear still lingered in Fang Zhengzhi’s heart. After a herculean effort, he finally managed to pin this ”crime” onto Mr Youfang, who passed by Southern Mountain Village several days ago. That’s how he managed to escape from the house.

However, this raised some alarms in his heart. He was only six years old, there were times where he should keep a low profile. If he was really deemed as possessed....

Thinking back on what he saw long ago: drinking talisman water; crucified; burned and buried alive….Fang Zhengzhi heart felt an icy chill. Though he was not sure whether this world had such ”torture”.

The smart move was to be cautious.

After strolling around within the flow of the crowd, he somehow ended up in the village square. Gazing upon the compact crowd, Fang Zhengzhi was taken aback.

The square, which was normally used to distribute the hunted quarry, was currently surrounded by lively villagers. On the west side, there was a one meter high stage made from lumber. The large stage was carpeted with bright red cloths.

In the middle of the carpet, three wooden chairs covered with premium hide and pelts were in a triangular arrangement.

The one in the centre was a redwood chair with a carved beast head. On top of the chair was a fur pelt with silvery fine hair on the sides and fiery red fur in the middle.

This pelt was the first thing Fang Zhengzhi focused on. He was immediately entranced by it. Those pitch black eyes shone with brilliance. He had never seen such a skin before. Not only did he not see this before, he was quite sure, from the quality, that this did not belong to the Southern Mountain Village.

”That is an amazing thing. If I had this pelt, my family will turn rich overnight. Should I take it and run?” When this thought flashed across in his mind, he quickly rejected it.

With his short legs, it was possible that he would be caught even before he had a chance to run. At that moment, his little bottom would definitely split open from the spanking.

As he was thinking about this, a shadow veiled his face.

”Fang Zhengzhi!” A stocky kid wearing a pair of open-crotch pants was glaring straight at him. The kid was holding a chicken drumstick with one hand and wiping his oily mouth with the other.

Blocked by a six year old little brat. Furthermore, he looked as reckless as a bull. Fang Zhengzhi had a hard time accepting this situation .

Adults are hard to deal with but same aged brats was definitely no problem. He could easily outsmart the kid.

”What’s up?” Fang Zhengzhi lazily replied.

”Heard from my mom that you were not happy that I qualified for the kid’s test? Saying that you want to test me? This Little Lord would like to ask you, do you dare to go head to head with me!” The little brat waved his sturdy arm as he yelled, showcasing his strength to Fang Zhengzhi.

Fang Zhengzhi lips twitched. This Li Huer was his neighbour Aunt Li’s precious baby boy. Although not as smart, he did not had the same amount of meat intake. The brat’s physical strength would definitely overpower him.

”Aren’t you preparing for the kid’s test? Aren’t you scared that any injuries might affect your results?” Fang Zhengzhi advised with concern

Li Huer paused. His mind wobbling as he inwardly agreed. It would be real bad if he was injured. Hence, he heeded Fang Zhengzhi’s advice.

”Instead of fighting, we can compete in something else!

”You definitely won’t beat me in running…” Fang Zhengzhi lead on with a mask of worry.

”Who said I can’t outrun you. Let’s race now if you dare!” Lin Huer was obviously not convinced.

”Alright. Can you see that piece of hide on the stage over there? Let’s see who can steal it first,” Fang Zhengzhi pointed at the brightly coloured hide in the middle of the stage.

”Fine!” Li Huer instantly started nodding his head like chicken pecking on rice, turning towards the stage.

He was truly a ignorant until the point of bravery. Fang Zhengzhi’s heart went out to him. After that, just as Li Huer was prepared to charge like a madman, he opened his mouth once again.
