Chapter 919 - Acting As an Agent for Heaven (2/2)

Having said that, he then pointed to Xue Yu and then shook his head.

Coldness flashed in Tang Xiu’s eyes, yet he let out a smile and said, “We’re all reasonable people, plus I have rented that house, so I have the right to stay there. We are not people who bully others, but if they want to bully us, I’ll never let them feel better doing that. Ah, that’s right. Do you know the origin of these people?”

“Just listen to me, will you?” Uncle Jia waved and said, “You mustn’t mess with them. They…. They’re drifting hunters from some other places.”

“Hunters?” Tang Xiu was confused.

“Uncle Jia, the hunters you just mentioned, are they the kind of illegal hunters—poachers who illegally hunt rare animals?” asked Xue Yu.

“You also know those kinds of people, lass?” said Uncle Jia with amazement. “You’ve guessed it right. There are a lot of precious animals near Longquan Bay, some of which are quite valuable, so they come here every few years and stay here for several months. Come on and head to my home, you two. There aren’t many people coming this time, so the spare room in my house should be enough for you to rest in.”

Tang Xiu pondered for a moment and felt that there was no need to make things complicated. Since he could stay in Uncle Jia’s home, then he might as well lodge there. In any case, they would only stop by for a few days before the entered the depth of Longquan Bay to open the Immortal Trove, to begin with.

“Hey, Fifth, get your ass move fucking fast. The Boss wants Shaojiu liquor. If you can’t buy it again, be warned that he’ll skin you alive!”

“I know. I know, motherfucker! What a nuisance! What are you pushing me for? Even if this father had three legs, I still would have to run there, wouldn’t I?”

Two loud shouts were heard, followed by two strong big men who ran in tandem from the outside into the village. When the big man in front saw Tang Xiu and Xue Yu, however, he abruptly stopped his pace. His eyes widely stared at Xue Yu without blinking, looking like he was nearly drooling.

“What the fuck are you doing, Fifth? Why the hell aren’t you running faster?”

Behind him was a bald man with a tattoo on his neck, who then cursed and slapped the head of the big man in front.

The stocky man who was called Fifth pointed to Xue Yu and stutteringly said, “A beauty… such a beautiful woman… she’s even more… beautiful than those… celebrities on TV.”

The bald man stared blankly and looked up to see Tang Xiu and Xue Yu. His eyes instantly glued on Xue Yu as he voraciously looked up and down her body. He gulped down and exclaimed, “Holy cow, who is this woman? She’s so hot and so fucking beautiful!”

Xue Yu looked at them with obvious disgust and immediately reached out to grab Tang Xiu’s hand.

A cold light gleamed in Tang Xiu’s eyes. He then turned to ask Uncle Jia, “Are they those hunters you told me about? Those rampant and wicked guys?”

“Please don’t speak carelessly, Mr. Tang! It will spell trouble,” said Uncle Jia in a hurry. “We… we can’t afford to provoke… these people. They have guns…”

Tang Xiu sneered and sternly yelled at the two stocky men who were staring at Xue Yu, “What the hell are you looking at? Look at her again and I’ll gouge your eyes out. Scram and get the fuck out—else be careful, since I’ll clean you up.”

Only then did the bald man’s eyes leave from Xue Yu’s body. As his eyes fell on Tang Xiu, he creased his brows and cursed, “From which stone did you come out from, punk? Careful with your shitty mouth or I’ll trash you up!”

The big man who was called Fifth looked at Tang Xiu a few times and then pulled the bald man’s hand, whispering some words to him. The duo then left without forgetting to shoot a threatening glare to Tang Xiu before they turned around and ran towards the village.

After seeing the situation, Uncle Jia immediately said in a panic, “Mr. Tang, I advise you, please leave here quickly! Looking at those two bastards’ drooling face, I’m sure they are harboring evil intentions. If you stay in the village, if they enact their evil plan, I’m afraid…”

“I suddenly have changed my mind, Uncle Jia,” interrupted Tang Xiu. “These hunters are bad people, so I won’t give them the house I already rented for free. Just go back to your home first. I’m going to see them.”

“Please don’t, just stop, Mr. Tang,” said Uncle Jia hurriedly. “Don’t do it. Don’t be tempted to act on impulse. As far as I know, those people not only kill rare animals but also dare to kill people. I heard that… I heard they killed people two years ago and also murdered some local policemen.”

“They murdered policemen, yet nobody has caught them?” asked Tang Xiu, confused.

“Who would dare apprehend them?” said Uncle Jia with a forced smile. “This region is vast and sparsely populated and there’s a lot of places for them to hide here literally everywhere. Besides, these guys come and go without a trace. It’s so easy for them to avoid the lawmen’s hunt.”

“Since they even kill people, then I’ll act as an agent to enforce justice on behalf of the Heavens today,” sneered Tang Xiu. “Uncle Jia, please go back to your home first! I’ll treat you to a drink tonight.”

“Please don’t show off, Mr. Tang!” said Uncle Jia in a hurry. “There are seven or eight of them, none of who are a good person. You… if you were to rashly see them, you’ll be just like a meat bun fed to the dogs. You won’t be able to come back… and also, if this lass follows you, she…”

“I appreciate your kindness, Uncle Jia, but I apologize,” waved Tang Xiu with a smile.

Having said that, he pulled Xue Yu’s hand and strode toward the direction of the house he had rented. He wouldn’t have decided to go directly if it was just those two guys. But now, he obviously couldn’t stand idly by. Even if he didn’t want to bother with making trouble with these guys, it was highly likely that they would try to find him first and cause misfortune.
