Seconds later, "CHAIRMAAANNNNNN!!" The screams coming from the room stopped Wan Lie's steps, as did the others.

"Why are they shouting?"

​​

"What happened, Xie Lan?" Wan Lie and Xue Ning asked almost at the same time.

Ju Xian turned his head towards the back.

"You are STOP!!" Qiao shouted when she came out of the room and find Fu Xie Lan about to walk away.

Immediately Fu Xie Lan turned around, the girl had no intention of leaving the house before finishing her plan. No matter anything, the plan had to work so they could leave the Hunter Village tonight. It was too time-consuming to stay too long in the village where they were now.

"KILLER!!"

Fu Xie Lan remained unmoved by the man's words. "I didn't do it," Fu Xie Lan replied because she wasn't the one who did it.

"How dare you kill our Chief?!" Qiao shouted.

"If you don't want to believe it, whatever," Fu Xie Lan replied.

"Nonsense!!" immediately Qiao ran towards Fu Xie Lan after grabbing an ax hanging on the wall.

"You guys back off and stay away," Fu Xie Lan muttered to Wan Lie, Ju Xian, and Xue Ning. She immediately gave the Hao in her arms to Wan Lie.

After saying that, Fu Xie Lan remained where she was, not moving an inch, even though Qiao was already close to her.

Qiao attacked Fu Xie Lan blindly with the various random movements, but he did not succeed in making a Fu Xie Lan injury.

She casually dodged all of Qiao's attacks that were directed at her.

It happened for about thirty minutes and it was still the same. Even the girl's occasional yawn made Qiao feel annoyed that he didn't manage to hit it either.

"Hmm? Have you stopped?" said Fu Xie Lan when there was no more attack from Qiao? The man's breath sounded out of breath. Sweat was all over his body. Even his throat felt so dry.

In Qiao's heart, he was sure that the person standing in front of him right now was no match for him. No matter how hard he tried to move and aim at all parts of her body but nothing hit her.

"If that's the case, I'd like to make an offer with you and your friend over there," said Fu Xie Lan in a tone lazy.

"O-offer?" stammered Lim.

"Do you choose to die or live?" said Fu Xie Lan casually, as if what she said was just something ordinary.

Lim and Qiao swallowed saliva roughly hearing those words.

"Surely if you choose the first option, maybe you can see your future on Qian Cheng's body?" Fu Xie Lan chuckled.

"I will not force, you just choose," she added again.

Wan Lie and the other gaped at Fu Xie Lan's words. Can it be called an offer? Who is it that makes such an offer? Isn't it certain that from the start the offer forced them to choose the second option? Only crazy people choose death.

"Nonsense!! Who are you to speak to us like that? Damned brat!!" Qiao shouted cursingly. No one has the right to give him the choice of when he will die or live.

Fu Xie Lan who heard the man's scream just sighed roughly. It seems that getting what she wants is not easy.

With a swift movement, Fu Xie Lan runs towards Qiao, took out a silver dagger from her cosmic bag, and slashed at the man's arm when the owner hadn't even noticed her movement.

Fresh blood spurted, it didn't stop there. Fu Xie Lan then kicked him in the stomach, turned around, and kicked the man's leg from behind, causing him to fall to the ground. Fu Xie Lan immediately pointed her silver dagger at Qiao's neck.

Lim saw Qiao's opponent's moves so agile, make him cold sweat run down his body, even his hands couldn't stop shaking.

'She's not human, she's a monster!' Lim is very frightened.

"Stop, sorry, I am sorry," Qiao mumbled as he felt the sharpness of the dagger against the skin of his neck.

"Isn't this your choice?"

"No, no. Please let me go. I still want to live," Qiao said breathlessly as Fu Xie Lan pulled the man's hair back.

"It's not easy to make me change my mind, you know?"

"What do you want? What do you want from me? Please let me live. I will obey all your orders and will not reveal this incident to the villagers," Qiao said at length with one breath.

"Who said you would stay here?"

"Well, it's up to you. Whatever, wherever as long as don't kill me," the man lamented again.

"Hmm, good." Fu Xie Lan muttered and moving away from the dagger away from Qiao's neck managed to make the man sigh a relief.

"You know the consequences if you fight me, don't you?" said Fu Xie Lan suddenly brought her dagger back to the man's neck and managed to make his body stiffen again.

"O-okay, I know. Let me live," Qiao stuttered.

Fu Xie Lan let go of her grip on Qiao's hair roughly, and at the same time, the man's head hit the floor, creating a thud.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, Lim felt Fu Xie Lan's gaze suddenly directed at him and startled him.

"M-Me too. I still want to live," said Lim immediately. Since earlier, the man has been very scared.

"Alright, take us to the place where you usually sell your prey," said Fu Xie Lan

"Now? B-but..."

"Reject?" said Fu Xie Lan glaring.

"A-alright," Qiao replied immediately, while Lim simply complied.

***

The air temperature at night in the Hunter Village was not too cold when compared to the air temperature in the Zu royal forest.

Six people can be seen walking out of a house, each wearing a different robe. they were Fu Xie Lan, Wan Lie, Ju Xian, Xue Ning, the four of them wore their wizard robes, blue robes.

While the remaining two people were Qiao and Lim wearing their black robes, both of them seemed to be carrying a cart containing prey animals covered with hay in the wagon.

The atmosphere in the Hunter Village at night is very quiet, only occasionally seen residents who seem to have just returned from hunting.

A group of three people passed by them.

"Is that Qian Cheng?" asked one of them, at this time Fu Xie Lan and others were just now to leave Qian Cheng's home yard.

"No, I'm Qiao. The chairman is taking a break," the man replied immediately.

"Where are you guys going?."

"Oh, we just received a message from the merchants to immediately visit them," Qiao replied then immediately lowered the hood of his robes so that the three people could see his appearance.

"I see. Yes, we will continue our journey first. You guys take care, pass my greetings to Qian Cheng when you come back," said the person.

"Of course," Qiao replied and immediately continued on their way.

Everything that man said was based on Fu Xie Lan's orders. The girl had prepared everything thoroughly. Even for something that no one expected.
