Chapter 206: Terrifying Village
At the moment, for an unknown reason, the square had become a total mess. A bunch of children were surrounding Su Tian Que, placing him in the center as they crowded around him with curiosity, trying to grab him.
Poor Su Tian Que had only wanted to steal meat to eat, but now he was surrounded by a bunch of unruly kids. He jumped around trying to escape, yet got caught by the fearless children who, like newborn calves unafraid of tigers, even plucked out his feathers before he finally managed to get away.
“Help…” Su Tian Que cried helplessly while flapping his short, featherless wings, escaping towards Su Yi as he fled from those unruly kids.
The scene left everyone in the square stunned. A chicken that could speak the human language must be a strong beast at least in the Demonic Void Realm, yet this chicken didn’t seem like one…
Su Tian Que fled to Su Yi’s side, tucking his tail while feeling very speechless and helpless.
“Brats, all of you behave,” Shangguan Yan and Shangguan Yu spoke, chasing the bunch of unruly kids away.
“Give me some to eat. It smells so delicious.” Staring at the meat in Su Yi’s hand, Su Tian Que didn’t stand on ceremony and directly snatched it. Even the delicious wine wasn’t spared, leaving Shangguan Qing Ming flabbergasted.
“Is this really a chicken…” Shangguan Qing Ming muttered, slightly stunned and puzzled.
“Brother Chen Feng has come!” Within the crowd, people were loudly cheering as a young man in a white robe with sword-like temperament approached. It was precisely the first-ranked member of the younger generation in the Ancient Spirit Village, Shangguan Chen Feng.
“Brother Chen Feng!” Many young men and women went up and surrounded him. As the leading figure among the younger generations of the Ancient Spirit Village, Shangguan Chen Feng definitely had charisma.
Shangguan Chen Feng smiled slightly as he greeted everyone and bowed to the village head and elders at the scene.
Su Yi also saw Shangguan Chen Feng but only lifted his head for a glance before continuing to eat the roasted meat while drinking the Hundred Fruit Wine.
“Delicious, too delicious. What kind of wine is this? So tasty! Don’t snatch what’s mine. There’s still more next to you!” Su Tian Que hugged a large piece of meat and a jar of wine in his wings, refusing to let go. His appearance made people laugh uncontrollably.
The surrounding people were all curious and secretly sized him up. Nevertheless, nobody actually tried to snatch food from Su Tian Que. After all, word getting out that they had fought with a chicken over food wouldn’t reflect well on them.
“Everyone, please listen to me for a moment.” Suddenly, the voice of Village Head Shangguan Cheng Ya carried over from atop a towering stone stand, flowing gently yet clearly into everyone’s ears in the square.
Su Yi raised his head to look. Village Head Shangguan Cheng Ya stood on the stone stand, glancing at the villagers with a smile as she said, “This time in the competition that occurs once every ten years, our Ancient Spirit Village has won the first round. It is something worth celebrating. In addition…”
Her words abruptly paused as she glanced at Su Yi.
Following the village head’s gaze, all the villagers’ eyes simultaneously landed on Su Yi.
Shangguan Cheng Ya smiled at Su Yi and announced, “Today, our Ancient Spirit Village has an esteemed guest called Yi Su who came from outside. Thanks to his help, Xi Wei could return safely. And also because of him, we managed to win the first round. Here, this old lady will represent the Ancient Spirit Village in thanking you.”
“You flatter me,” Su Yi stood up, not daring to be impolite to the kind old lady.
“I heard this Yi Su is very mighty and defeated Xiong Lie!”
“He seems quite young. He actually could defeat Xiong Lie?”
Within the surrounding crowd, people softly discussed with curiosity while many gazes sized up Su Yi.
“Alright, everyone can now resume celebrating,” Shangguan Cheng Ya said.
“My good nephew Yi Su, come and let’s drink.” Shangguan Qing Ming reached Su Yi’s side again to drink with him.
“Little Brother Yi Su, no need to stand on ceremony. Drink more!” Following after, many villagers came forward, being very friendly to Su Yi.
It was difficult to refuse such kindness, so Su Yi didn’t stand on ceremony as he kept drinking. Some young men came forward curiously to greet him. There were even some daring young women who approached. With straightforward personalities, they chatted with Su Yi, curious about everything outside.
Perhaps because he had drunk too much Hundred Fruits Wine, Su Yi gradually loosened up and became friends with some of the youngsters.
“Oh…”
“Good job, not bad!”
A moment later, in the middle of the square, lively shouts traveled over with deep, low explosive sounds.
Su Yi looked over. The densely packed figures had formed a large circle in the square where two young men, both around 12-13 years old, were battling intensely against each other.
Though young, their strength was extraordinary as they exchanged fists with tiger-like vigor, fighting like dragons and tigers.
“During such celebrations, it’s tradition for the younger generation to spar. It can be considered as reviewing your own strength, and the winner also gets a prize from the village!” Shangguan Yan explained in Su Yi’s ear. “If you’re interested, you can also try the square.”
“I’ll pass.” Su Yi smiled, though he was interested in the two young men fighting.
Looking at their auras and attacks, their cultivation technique and martial arts were exceptional. What was the origin of this peaceful, happy village? It made Su Yi more and more curious.
While they were talking, the winner had already been decided. The two men were actually relatively equal in strength with exceptional performance, making the village elders praise them continuously.
Later, another young man went up. This time, it was a man against a girl. Their performance was also exceptional. After dozens of rounds, the young girl won by a narrow margin.
Su Yi watched while eating meat and drinking wine. Meanwhile, Su Tian Que gobbled like a wolf, his small stomach seemingly bottomless as he stuffed down countless pieces of roasted meat and Hundred Fruits Wine.
Young men and women continued to battle as the atmosphere gradually peaked, with endless cheers. Shangguan Yan, Shangguan Yu, and the others had also joined the crowd.
However, Su Yi grew more and more shocked. This village was terrifying. These young men and women weren’t very old, yet their talents were extraordinary.
Another round of battle commenced with two young men fighting neck and neck. As these two fought, many young men below were itching to participate, their spirits high.
Suddenly, within the crowd, an extraordinary youth stepped forward. The young man appeared 17-18 years old, wore a long robe, and had a tall figure with a handsome face. His eyes especially sparkled with delicate light.
“It’s Brother Ming Hou!”
“Shangguan Ming Hou!”
Many people on the scene, even the village elders, were surprised when they saw the young man step up. The surrounding youngsters who had been itching to participate suddenly stepped back.
