Chapter 742: Xiao Qing! (1/2)

Edited by RED

Lin Feng didn’t understand. How come the slum had a statue of himself? Borderland Village would have never allowed it, San Country in general would have never allowed it. Lin Feng walked faster and faster towards Xiao Qing’s hut.

There was only one possibility: Xiao Qing hadn’t died! She had gone back to the slum, and she had explained everything to the people of the slum. Thinking about that, Lin Feng was overjoyed and excited.

When he arrived in front of Xiao Qing’s hut, he opened the door and entered. It was tiny but cozy. However, the hut and the courtyard seemed abandoned. The house was dusty. There was no Qi inside either, which meant it hadn’t been inhabited for a long time.

Lin Feng, who was initially happy, turned sad. He sat down, not caring that it was dusty. He was disappointed. He hated Hu Yan Qing. He hated the Hu Yans in general. Why had they plotted against Xiao Qing?

Lin Feng clenched his fists. If he could bring Hu Yan Qing come back to life and kill him a second time, he would; even three or four times! It would never be enough! Lin Feng’s eyes were filled with murder. His deadly energies started emerging from his body and rippling around him. When the people of the slum saw his energies in the sky, they were frightened.

After a short time, many people gathered around Xiao Qing’s courtyard. They were all from the slum. The one at the front was Xiao Qing’s third aunt, the chubby old woman who had raised Xiao Qing.

The woman didn’t dare go into the courtyard. She was afraid.

Lin Feng sensed that many people were outside. He stood up and went back into the courtyard. He opened the door of the courtyard and saw the gathered people.

When Lin Feng appeared, many people were frightened, especially Xiao Qing’s third aunt. But when the crowd saw Lin Feng’s face, they suddenly looked overjoyed. It was their benefactor!

Suddenly, everybody knelt down, including the third aunt. Lin Feng’s deadly energies disappeared. He was astonished. What were these people doing?

“What’s going on…?” asked Lin Feng, looking at the third aunt curiously.

The woman lowered her head and remained silent. One man behind her bowed hand over fist and said, “Benefactor! You’re finally back, sir!”

“Benefactor?” Lin Feng was confused. What was going on with those people? Had those people been drugged?

“Yes! If you hadn’t won San Country’s great competition, our slum would have been abandoned, but because you won, sir, we have managed to get out of poverty. It’s all thanks to you!”

“Yes, we will never forget that,” said someone else loudly. Lin Feng’s eardrums almost hurt. It had been a long time since Lin Feng had seen thousands of people kneel down in front of him.

Lin Feng realized that when he had won San Country’s Great Competition, the slum had become famous and had obtained many advantages and privileges. They weren’t poor anymore thanks to him!

Most people in the slum were ordinary people. Most cultivators there only had the strength of the Huang Qi layer. Their life expectancy wasn’t as long as Supreme Gods, who could live hundreds of thousands of years. Now, they had obtained many resources to practice cultivation, so they weren’t poor anymore, and their life expectancy would increase.

Poverty in the world of cultivation wasn’t only about money, it was also about cultivation resources. Lin Feng had solved one of their biggest problems in life. Even though the slum still looked simple and poor, it was just an impression. In reality, they all had many cultivation resources now.

Lin Feng also noticed that everybody was wearing fine clothes and had beautiful apparel, such as gold and jade belts and jewels.

Lin Feng never thought that winning the competition would change their lives.

“Alright, rise,” Lin Feng waved. He didn’t like having thousands of people kneel down in front of him.

The people of the slum all stood up and looked at Lin Feng respectfully. Nobody dared say anything. The atmosphere was a bit heavy.

“Everybody can go back to work. Third Aunt, you stay,” Lin Feng said helplessly.

When the crowd heard that, they all looked at the third aunt enviously. Because of Xiao Qing, the third aunt would have the opportunity to mingle with their benefactor. They had no choice but to leave.

“Benefactor, if you need anything, feel free to contact me,” said the man who had bowed before.
