Chapter 186: Turmoil in the Fishing Village on the Magic Continent 8
“You, you, you are from Rose City?”
Tian Meng stared at them, dumbfounded, while Chao Hai was also lost in thought: “No, that’s impossible.”
Chao Hai’s previously proud status was nothing in front of Sang Chu and the others. Feng Xin City was just a remote small town, barely considered a fifth-rate city.
Bai City, however, was a second-rate city, which was why he always felt superior. He never expected people from Rose City to appear.
The first-rate major city on this Magic Continent was Rose City. One Rose City was as large as seven or eight Bai Cities!
He, where did he get the courage to fight them for a room at the inn: “I, I’m sorry, I, I didn’t mean to fight you for the inn.”
Seeing Sang Chu change into a wizard robe with a rose pattern, Chao Hai trembled all over and apologized.
Sang Chu released his grip on him: “Alright, as I told Huang Jun today, once we leave the small fishing village, everyone should forget about it. You don’t want me to come to Bai City and silence everyone who knows about this, do you?”
Hearing this, Chao Hai’s face instantly turned as white as paper: “No, no, we will absolutely not tell anyone!”
Tian Meng: “Lord, please rest assured. I, Tian Meng, swear to the Demon King that if I leak even half a word, I will be dragged into Hell by the Demon King, and no magic array will be able to protect my safety.”
Although Luo Cheng was afraid to swear by the Demon King, seeing that Tian Meng had already sworn, he couldn’t fall behind. Otherwise, what if these people decided to kill them right now?
‘Roar—’
A loud roar came from behind. A Hellhound blocked Xue You, who was charging towards Sang Chu.
He was seen standing on the sea, the water surface already frozen solid, and behind him was a vast expanse of ice and snow.
Xue You looked at Sang Chu with displeasure, not expecting this person to have a Hellhound: “Take your dog back!”
Seeing that he was wary of the Hellhound, Sang Chu quickly released the other one. As expected, his expression became even uglier.
“Brother, you guys put this fish monster away first.”
“Okay, be careful yourself.”
Sang Chu nodded and walked forward under the escort of the Hellhounds. Standing by the water, he faced Xue You from afar: “Demon King Lord, didn’t you leave? Why are you back?”
Demon King Lord!!!!
Chao Hai and the other two, along with Huang Jun, stared at Sang Chu in horror, then looked at the man standing in the swirling snow and ice, their voices trembling: “This, this, this is, the Demon, Demon King Lord?”
Sang Jing Wen put away his things while looking at them: “If you don’t want to die, it’s best to find a place to hide from the cold attack. He’s here, so the cold attack is probably not far behind.”
Chao Hai, however, shook his head frantically, refusing. It was clear he was terrified, his whole body trembling like a sieve, but his eyes were extremely bright: “I’m not leaving. Even though we swore to the Demon King, none of us have ever seen the Demon King. Even if I die, it’s worth it to see the Demon King!”
Tian Meng: “Yes, yes, yes, I, I must get a good look!”
Seeing the children’s eyes shining like little deer, Sang Jing Wen couldn’t say anything more and could only move to the side to bring the carriage over as a precaution.
Xue You heard what the children said and wanted to destroy them on the spot. However, the Hellhounds were watching menacingly. Even if he wasn’t afraid, being targeted by these two would at least strip him of his skin, if not kill him.
“Human, where are you from?”
Sang Chu was stunned for a moment. Grandma Yun Xiang watched Sang Chu and whispered: “Master, it’s best to tell the truth.”
“Mm, doggy, come here.”
The Hellhound obediently ran to Sang Chu’s side. She then leaped onto it and rode the Hellhound towards the frozen water surface.
Xue You immediately understood that she didn’t want anyone to overhear their conversation. He quickly set up a magic barrier, and a layer of ethereal blue ice instantly enveloped the entire sea area, completely obscuring the figures inside from outsiders.
Chao Hai watched the blue ice in despair: “Ah, the Demon King Lord has disappeared!”
Sang Jing Wen helplessly shook his head at the children: “Little friends, you should be more sensible.”
Lu Min Feng: “Let’s get in the carriage first. This Snow Demon King is unpredictable. If he suddenly attacks, we won’t be able to defend ourselves.”
“Mm.”
After Sang Jing Wen and Xiao Yi Fei put away the fish monster, they got into the carriage. Chao Hai, who had made himself at home, was the first to run in.
Seeing Lu Min Feng and the others’ shocked expressions, he smiled innocently and said to them: “Big brother, big sister, we’re friends now after our little fight. We’re just borrowing some space to hide.”
After speaking, he quickly took out his Crystal Coin Card: “I’m not greedy for small advantages, I can pay with Crystal Coins~”
His words were circuitous, clearly indicating that he wanted to hitch a ride in the carriage to continue watching the Demon King.
Tian Meng, Luo Cheng, and Huang Jun also ran in. For a moment, the carriage was lively.
Meanwhile, Sang Chu and Xue You’s situation was tense.
Xue You deeply disliked the Hellhounds, especially their eyes, which he found disgusting. If there had been only one, he could have fought back and returned to his territory after killing it. But with two appearing at once, he not only disliked them but couldn’t act, and had to guard against sneak attacks, which was infuriating.
“What do you want to say!”
Sang Chu gently stroked the dog and chuckled: “I come from another world. Saving those mermaids was an accident. The sea area has been occupied by an evil wizard, and the mermaids can no longer return to their homes. Therefore, Grandma Yun Xiang and the surviving mermaids decided to leave with me after discussion. Demon King Lord, are you satisfied with my explanation?”
“No, they cannot leave. Do you know what will happen to the sea area once the mermaids leave?”
Sang Chu had a guess. Ever since Grandma Yun Xiang mentioned that mermaids could purify water, she knew that without mermaids, the water sources would gradually become turbid and polluted. But so what? If she hadn’t come, these mermaids would have all died. Rather than let them be harmed here, it was better to take them to the Apocalypse, where at least there was a way out.
“Demon King Lord, have you considered that if I hadn’t accidentally saved them, they would all be dead by now? I don’t believe the Demon King Lord hasn’t noticed the changes in the seawater.”
Xue You stared intently at Sang Chu, only to hear her say: “You came to this fishing village because you sensed something was wrong, didn’t you? Those fish monsters.”
“What do you know?”
Sang Chu smiled slightly: “Just a guess. If it’s inaccurate, I hope the Demon King Lord will correct me. I guess Wu Qi and the others intended to use the mermaids’ flesh and blood to create imitations, to replace the real mermaids in purifying the water. But they didn’t expect that these imitations would not only fail to purify the water but also pollute it. And the source of this pollution is the Bay Fishing Village, which is why you came ashore and broke into Shi Feng’s house to investigate.”
“Hmph! Thinking you’re so clever.”
