Legend of the Fighter (2)
Chapters... 171: City Lord's Residence
In Zi City, Ciu San and Zhi Long awaited the arrival of his young master. Not to forget Zhou Jim who faithfully looked at the forest border region without turning away even once.
Several people were also present there, including the city lord and also the four great clan patriarchs. Aside from having to guard against the possibility of an attack, they were also looking forward to Zhou Fan's appearance.
But until night came there was not a single figure that came out, whether it was a human-faced spider beast or Zhou Fan.
"Is it possible that he died inside, most likely a human-living spider is also absent. Both are gone and none will come."
The voice came from an old man, a resident of Zi City.
Ciu San who heard a bad remark regarding Zhou Fan instantly clenched his hands, feet firmly stepped closer to the dirty-mouthed old man. "Say once again I'll pull your tongue out!"
Ciu San's eyes were very sharp, he disliked it the most when there was someone who spoke ill of Zhou Fan. If he had heard, he would have been the first to oppose it.
The old man retreated slowly, feeling the trembling accomplices. "I-I just said, you-maybe that's true."
Ciu San who had turned around stopped his footsteps. "Do you not understand what I'm saying?" His voice sounded cold, harboring a non-playful warning.
The old man was about to return saying, but quickly the City Lord stopped him. "You come back, your family may be looking for you."
Then the City Lord turned to Ciu San. "You're right your young master must be fine, but -- "
"He must be okay!" sela Ciu San firmly.
On the other hand the originally silent Zhou Jim looked forward, barking several times.
The City Lord did not understand the meaning of Zhou Jim's gesture, thinking there would be an attack. But a moment later, the silvery yellow-feathered wolf darted still with its voice.
Auk!
Auk...
The City Lord became on standby, taking out a sword intent on welcoming the enemy. As well as the four patriarchs and all the assembled inhabitants, they took out weapons and mounted horses.
"Wait on! This isn't an attack." Zhi Long raised his hand, he heard the sound of footsteps. Not much, just one pair.
This fact makes the smile arch clearly visible between his lips.
Right after that, a young man came out from the forest. The person they were looking forward to coming. Who else if not Zhou Fan.
Auk...
Auk...
Just out of the forest Zhou Fan was immediately greeted with Zhou Jim.
Zhou Fan stroked Zhou Jim's head, then turned his head and found hundreds of people in front of his eyes.
"Young Master?"
"Junior?"
Ciu San, Zhi Long, the City Lord and also the four patriarchs came to him. Within their faces revealed a feeling of pleasure, but also astonishment as Zhou Fan was able to come out after dealing with an eighth-rate beast that was equivalent to a five-star saint warrior. It's unbelievable!
"Junior, what about the human-faced spider beast?" The City Lord was worried that if the beast would come to the city, perhaps a great chaos would ensue and casualties would fall.
"Master City can rest easy, the beast is dead."
"What's wrong, you can come back just good enough ...." The City Lord momentarily fell silent, listening back to Zhou Fan's words.
A moment his brain thought, then looked at Zhou Fan in surprise. "What did you say?"
"Beast the human-faced spider is dead" Zhou Fan said with a slight tone of surprise.
Not only was the City Lord shocked, but also the four patriarchs even Ciu San and also Zhi Long.
"Junior, are you sure?" asked the City Lord who was still a little in disbelief, he asked to convince himself.
Zhou Fan nodded, then swung his hand out a human-faced spider beast corpse.
All eyes were astonished, looking with a feeling of astonishment that was surely fixed on a Zhou Fan.
A spider beast of great size lay before them. The spooky and frightening appearance made some people shudder considering how formidable the beast was.
Don't forget the fact that human-faced spider beasts have deadly poison.
Just incredible!
Very strong!
Be brave!
Those few words came out from the mouths of the hundreds of people who were there, by accident Zhou Fan had become an important pillar in overcoming this year's beast wave. Make it worth the rewards that have been promised.
"Junior, if you don't mind being able to pay a visit to the city lord's residence. In addition to receiving gifts, it would be nice to spend the night at the city lord's residence because it is also night."
Hearing the City Lord's words, Zhou Fan glanced at Ciu San and also Zhi Long. "Alright if the City Lord doesn't mind."
"No no, ... How could that have happened. It is precisely an honor to receive a guest like this junior."
Zhou Fan returned the corpse of the human-faced spider beast back to its original place, following the City Lord to head towards his residence. Others also decided to return, including four patriarchs who had to return to their territories.
At a glance the border atmosphere became calm, there was absolutely no activity. Only the sound of wind blowing, so smooth and sweeping.
At the City Lord's residence, Zhou Fan was treated like a special guest. It might also be like a palace prince.
"Junior, come on, don't hesitate." Inside the dining room Zhou Fan was completely pampered, the City Lord continued to thrust food into his plate.
Inside the dining room were not only Zhou Fan and the City Lord, there was also Ciu San, Zhi Long. There were even the City Lord's wives and daughters sitting with them.
The City Lord's excessive attitude made his wife and daughter feel astonished. Actually who is this man until his husbands behave dekikian. The two did not know about who Zhou Fan was, a figure who played a big role in the city's defense efforts from the beast attack wave.
They ate while watching Zhou Fan, so fixed as to include the meal did not take their eyes off.
Zhou Fan smiled awkwardly, as his thump lifted his body up from the dining chair. "Master, we're done."
The City Lord immediately got up, about to escort him back to the room. But Zhou Fan quickly prevented, "Master City doesn't need to drop us off, we already know where each room is."
The City Lord fell silent, then raised his hand and sat back down.
After Zhou Fan's departure, the princess-Wang Yudie asked. "Dad, who is he? Why do you care so much about him?"
City Lord Wang glanced over, "Do you think the number of casualties in this year's wave of attacks is the least of any in previous years?"
Wang Yudie listened carefully, waiting for an answer from the father.
"That was all thanks to him, he defeated a tiger beast that was the equivalent of a four-star saint warrior by himself. Not only that, he also brought back the corpse of a human-faced spider beast. At least the beast's strength was equivalent to that of a five-star saint fighter."
Wang Yudie's eyes widened as well as the city lord's wife who felt this matter was very difficult to accept.
While in his room, Zhou Fan purified the poison of a long-legged centipede. A very useful material for physical and bone growth. He would save it to give to Zhou Xia, of course also to his second child whom he did not even know his gender.
He was a bad father, perhaps upon his return he had to accept the anger of those two children.
Recalling them, Zhou Fan wiped his forehead with a smile. "Wait a minute, I'll be back!"
