Chapter 90 (2/2)

Long Chen’s expression stiffened . Looking at her open and innocent expression, he bitterly smiled . He supposed this girl didn’t know just how complicated having children was .

Xiao Hua was a naive child . Although Long Chen was fond of her, he had no romantic feelings for her .

He thought this matter over . In the end, he came up with a plan to leave the village in secret . Although that would be very hurtful to Xiao Hua, that was something that could not be avoided .

But before he left, Long Chen still had to complete a couple matters . First he had to repay his hunting debt to the forest divinity, and then he had to tell Xiao Hua what those gold coins were used for .

There were at least several millions of gold coins . He had to warn her to be careful with their usage and not to let any greedy eyes fall on her .

As long as she learned how to use those gold coins, then with the spatial ring, the amount they could procure from each trip would be enough to last the village for a whole year .

Little Snow’s arrival caused all the villagers to become nervous . After all, in the past hundreds of years, that was the first time a Magical Beast had intruded on their village .

The next day, when Little Snow once more awoke and became active, all the villagers once more became anxious . But Little Snow only obediently followed alongside Long Chen, not even looking at the others, appearing very cute .

Only then did the villagers let their guards down slightly . There were even some curious children that stealthily approached Little Snow despite others berating them .

At the beginning Little Snow just ignored them . When that group of small children were around three meters away from him, he suddenly glanced at them .

Just that one glance terrified all those children . They all thought Little Snow was about to attack and fled for their lives, crying for someone to save their lives .

One of those kids even tripped and fell to the ground . He just lay there crying, even wetting his pants .

The adults watched as this happened . They saw that Long Chen merely smiled the whole time without doing anything . Due to their trust in Long Chen, they hadn’t said anything up till this point .

Seeing Little Snow actually send the group of children fleeing away with just a glance, they actually ended up laughing .

This was the first time a Magical Beast had entered their village, so even the adults were extremely curious .

“Long Chen, what Magical Beast is this?” None of the villagers were able to recognize Little Snow .

“A Scarlet Flame Snow Wolf . When matured, it is a third rank Magical Beast,” replied Long Chen .

“Third… third rank?!”

They had only ever heard of second rank Magical Beasts! And that was only from listening to their elders who told a story from over a hundred years ago . One of their ancestors had once ended up at a mountain stream while hunting and ended up running into a second rank Magical Beast . That would end up becoming a disaster for the village .

At that time, over thirty hunters had worked together, the result of which was that only a dozen of them had returned alive .

From that point onwards, they no longer dared crossing that mountain stream . Moreover, the villagers who ended up committing grave crimes were forever forced over that mountain stream .

In reality, the first thing that had popped into the villagers’ minds when the forest divinity had requested a second rank Magical Beast was that disaster .

At that time, everyone’s expressions had been extremely ugly . But Xiao Hua had been determined to save Long Chen . She said that after Long Chen was healed, they would definitely be able to work together and kill a second rank Magical Beast .

And so just second rank Magical Beast was already a nightmare in their eyes . But as for this little wolf in front of them, it was an even more frightening third rank Magical Beast, so how could they not be astonished?

Everyone a.s.sembled for lunch and afterwards, Long Chen spoke to the elder . “Chief, are there any second rank Magical Beasts around?”

His expression changed slightly . “You’re thinking of…?”

“Yes, I’m thinking of going to hunt second rank Magical Beasts to return the forest divinity’s favor as early as possible . The feeling of owing a debt is truly uncomfortable . ”

Everyone in the village s.h.i.+vered in trepidation, but Long Chen noticed that some of them were actually eager to give it a try .

“Child, I do know of the location of a second rank Magical Beast . However, it is extremely hard to handle . ” The elder was hesitant .

“Don’t worry village chief . I’m already fully recovered, and an ordinary second rank Magical Beast is no problem,” laughed Long Chen .

Long Chen was actually being modest . Even before he had broken through to Blood Condensation, ordinary second rank Magical Beasts had still not been his match .

And now that he had advanced, even though he was still only at that initial advance and had yet to even reach the first Heavenstage, his blood had already begun to be purified and with each breath, his blood and strength continued to grow stronger .

Long Chen wanted to find a second rank Magical Beast and test his strength . He also wanted to see just how many styles of Parting Wind he could use .

Since Long Chen was so determined, the elder sighed, “Fine . All our village’s fighters will bring the best equipment to help you slaughter that brute . ”

All the hunters let out a cheer of agreement and they returned to their houses to get their weapons and everything else they needed .

Long Chen looked at those fervent people and immediately understood something .

“Senior village chief, you don’t need to rouse everyone for this matter . Just tell me where it is . I alone am enough,” lightly said Long Chen .

“What?!”
