It didn't take long for Xika to sleep. He ate enough before falling asleep. The look he saw today was enough to be his bedtime deliveryman. He slept with the same hope as before. The hope that everything he experienced during this time was just a dream, and when he woke up his parents would welcome him. And he knew it wouldn't happen.

Xika woke up after Heiliao shook her body a few times. Although it did not take long for him to sleep, he did not enjoy his sleep too much. But seeing her two brothers together with her made Xika calmer.

They ate leftover venison last night for breakfast. Then Xika walked towards the village. But this time Heiliao and Huo Bing came with him. Of course, their arrival was not only greeted with the terrible gaze that Xika was used to receiving. This time it was even worse.

They were greeted with a stone throw when it was several tens of meters away from the village. When the distance reached dozens of meters, the stone turned into a knife. They drew closer to a few meters away and a group of men armed with swords and spears greeted them with a swing of weapons.

Xika held their feet against the ground and then charged their bodies with the wind and kicked all her attackers unconscious. After doing that, no one else dared to attack him nor Heiliao and Huo Bing.

They passed by many residents who gave a fearful look especially at Heiliao. Well that's natural considering Xika came quite early in the morning so no residents have gone to work yet. After all, the Village Chief did not say how early he should come.

Finally they arrived in front of the stone monument that Xika told. Zheng Wei seemed to have waited for a long time. He asked Xika to wait for a while then went to call the Village Chief. The man came along with the Village Chief after almost the entire village had gathered around the stone monument.

The Village Chief was listening to Tang Chu's story when Zheng Wei came and said Xika had arrived. The timely arrival because Tang Chu had just finished his story.

All pairs of eyes took turns looking at Xika, Heiliao, and the Village Chief. But no one hid their weapons. Xika three is like a group of besieged prey. It was just that they were surrounded not with bloodthirsty gazes, but fear filled with terror. Enough terror to kill them.

Zheng Wei was quite surprised to see the entire village already present in just a few minutes' pause as he called the Village Chief. Likewise with the Village Chief. The old man was about to speak privately with Xika and two other friends before speaking in front of the village. But looking at the situation now, it seemed to be too late.

There was a long enough pause that occurred before someone broke it. And that person is not the Village Chief.

"Wait for what else? He's surrounded! It's time we kill him!"

"Really! Kill her!"

"QUIET DOWN!"

One sentence from the Village Chief instantly stopped all the cheering residents from killing Xika the three.

"My wargaku! I believe today we are not gathered to kill. Before I speak further, I would like to introduce someone to you. Someone associated with our savior years ago. Xing Taiyang."

Xika felt she had to advance, so she stepped out her feet and stood beside the Village Chief.

"This child is the son of Xing Taiyang, Xing Xika!"

Silent.

No cheers or applause. Perhaps, if the Village Chief introduced Xika yesterday, there would be cheers and applause. But not at the moment. Not after Xika along with the wild wolf and confess that he was friends with the wolf.

"Village Chief, just go ahead. You forbid us to kill him. What's the reason you did that?"

The question immediately reaped cheers from the other villagers.

The Village Chief frowned. Wasn't the question just now enough to be an excuse for not killing Xika? He was silent for a moment not knowing what to say.

"Xing Taiyang saved us. And what we give him is to kill his descendants?"

"Village Chief, there's no guarantee that he's Xing Taiyang's son. We will definitely respect Xing Taiyang's son as much as he is. But can you prove that the child is really Xing Taiyang's child?"

Cheers for approval are heard.

"I believe yesterday we all heard the laughter of pride coming from someone we so desperately long for. Do you all remember this stone? The stone Taiyang left behind?" asked the Village Chief while pointing at the stone monument. But he didn't touch her.

No one answered. The village chief continued.

"Of course we all remember Taiyang's words about this stone. 'Don't touch it or you'll die. Only I, and those who have my blood, can touch the stone.' Now, is everything clear?

This boy touched the stone. Half the people here can be a witness. And you can see for yourself this healthy boy has no injuries. The touch on the stone that makes us can hear again the sound of laughter that we so long for. Is that enough of an excuse not to kill him?"

All the villagers were silent a thousand languages. Of course they still remembered Taiyang's message about the stone. Many began to believe in Xika because of it but there are still many who doubt.

Before the cheers of approval could be heard again, Xika opened her voice.

"Before you said you would respect me like my father if I was Xing Taiyang's son. Now you say you won't hesitate to kill me even if I'm Xing Taiyang's son? It's funny."

Xika's words managed to make the faces of some villagers blush, but more were angrily cursing at her and preparing to attack her.

"Shut up, kid!"

"Really! You don't know what happened to us! Why have we behaved this way until now! You have no right to insult us!"

"You're right. I don't really know what happened to you. But that doesn't mean you can kill me. Besides, how do I know that no one told me?"

Xika stood with her chin raised indicating that she was no weaker than the villagers. He had already received enough gazes and animal-like treatment. If they do not want to stop or at least tell the reason they behave like that, then he will not be reluctant to them. Especially after they killed him.

"Tell me your reason for being with the wolf and we'll tell you your reason."

Xika raised next to her eyebrows.

"He's brother. You can guess the rest by yourself."

The residents felt a deeper fear than last night when they heard Xika's words. They all took up their weapons. No more talking. Even the Village Chief was unable to stop them.

"God." Xika smiled slightly. He raised his wings and then took them out.

"You can prevent me from living in your village, but you can't kick me out!"

Many spears and blades were directed towards Xika, but none of them managed to reach her. After flapping her wings powerful enough several times to make the citizens dragged backwards, Xika went out of the village. Heiliao showed his fangs and half the citizens stepped aside, the other half being blown away by Huo Bing's wings.

Xika was about to stay in the place before, but it seemed too visible to the residents so he decided to move under a tree that was still not far from the Hydrangea flower field. He did not want to stay away from the flower fields.

"I'm sorry I had to experience that."

"Just calm down."

"But are you sure you don't want to leave this place? You've got a card showing your parents are alive. You've been to a place they've been. What else made you unable to leave this place?"

"No. Can't do. Not time. Even if they reject me I have to stay."

"Well, you're in the lead. I'll just come along."

Heiliao nodded in agreement.

"All right, let's change the topic. Can you explain in more detail why you were surrounded by those citizens? I was a little sleepy yesterday."

"My eyes caught a deer. I chased. Unfortunately I forgot to hold my voice. Maybe someone heard it. By the time I caught the deer, some of the residents had seen me."

"Why don't you just move space?"

"That'll definitely make them even more afraid. I'm afraid it's going to disrupt Xika's journey in the village. So all I did was growl to scare them. But other people came and kept coming. I'm not sure I can escape without killing some of them. So I decided to call you."

Xika nodded.

"Well, the rice has become porridge. It's all happened, there's no point in regretting it. I want to practice again. There's still some distance between me and that fucking asshole."

After that Xika bent her knees and absorbed the qi. The rest of his time was spent cultivating. He simply stopped for dinner, then went back to cultivating.

Meanwhile, it remained a few more days until the new school year of Mu Zhan academy was opened. Shu Mang had gone and rented a hotel in the capital near the academy.
