Chapter 463: The Evil Groundhog: Your Majesty, What Are You Doing?

Liu Haichan watched the one-eyed man's retreating figure, shivering with fear. He prayed for those who had offended the one-eyed man, hoping they wouldn't suffer too much.

On the way home.

"Lin Fan, you were amazing just now!" Old Zhang was very excited. Every time Lin Fan won a sparring match, he was incredibly happy, as if he himself had been on the field.

Lin Fan humbly replied, "It was alright. I didn't use my true strength, I was afraid I might accidentally kill him."

"I feel like he's a bit bad, not a good person. Why not kill him?"

"You can't think like that. Sometimes you have to feel it out slowly."

"So what did you feel?"

"Hmm... It felt okay."

"Oh."

"Hmm!"

Their conversation was gibberish to ordinary people, baffling and nonsensical. Anyone listening would feel there was something deeply strange about it, and the most puzzling thing was that they both seemed to understand each other perfectly.

The Evil Rooster, working undercover for several months, was already so familiar with these two foolish humans that he knew how many moles they had on their backsides.

It wasn't that he liked staring at backsides.

It was just a figure of speech, indicating his extreme familiarity with these two.

"Cluck!"

"Cluck!"

As they walked home, a familiar call came from the bushes. It wasn't the sound itself that was familiar, but the fact that it sounded like a hen.

Immediately afterward, two figures darted out.

Not humans.

But two chickens, just like hens, only with different plumage: one black, one yellow.

They carried bundles on their backs, their feathers ruffled, as if they were refugees.

Translation:

"Big Brother."

"Big Brother."

The two Evil Chickens blocked their path, clucking at the undercover Evil Rooster.

Seeing them, the undercover Evil Rooster couldn't help but cluck back.

"Little Black, Little Yellow, why are you here?"

Little Black said, "Big Brother, we finally found you."

Little Yellow said, "Big Brother, we've had such a hard time, boohoo..."

Seeing his family, the Evil Rooster was truly moved. But soon, he remembered his current situation. He couldn't acknowledge them, otherwise, there would be serious trouble.

The Evil Rooster said, "Why aren't you staying home? What are you doing here?"

"Big Brother, we've come to join you."

"Join me?"

Hearing these words, the Evil Rooster's expression changed. Undercover by the humans, he had suffered greatly, his dignity and face completely gone, even bullied by a ginseng.

Everything he had done was to become an Evil Hero, admired by all evils, and to elevate his Evil Chicken clan to nobility among the evils.

To achieve this, he could endure any hardship.

The Evil Rooster roared, "Go back! Go back home! This isn't a place for you! You don't belong here! Listen to me!"

He was already in this predicament and didn't want his siblings to suffer the same fate.

Little Black and Little Yellow, hearing their big brother's words, stepped back in shock, their chicken eyes wide with disbelief.

Plop!

Plop!

Tears dripped from Little Yellow's eyes.

The Evil Rooster turned his head away. Even if his little sister cried, he couldn't drag them into this pit of misery. This was a place of suffering, and he had grown accustomed to it over the past few months, so he just wanted to endure it silently.

Little Yellow said, "We have no family left, Big Brother. You're our last family member. Our home has been destroyed."

Shock!

The Evil Rooster looked at Little Yellow in utter shock. He took a step forward, spreading his wings as if grabbing someone's shoulders, "What did you say?"

He had a home...

In a small, not-so-desolate forest.

Everyone lived there carefree. Because their Evil Chicken fighting power was negligible, they were considered low-class among the evil species.

Back then, the Evil Rooster was still very young and often saw other evils bullying them. But his clan could only endure silently, having no lineage, no background, nothing at all.

At that time...

The Evil Rooster secretly vowed, burying a grand ambition in his young heart to strengthen the Evil Chicken clan. After reaching adulthood, he packed his bags and, under the reluctant gazes of his family, left his hometown to join the Evil Army, becoming the most insignificant of evils.

If he had to compare himself to another evil...

It would only be the Evil Groundhog.

Little Yellow said sadly, "The Evil Groundhog is spreading rumors everywhere that you're an Evil traitor, that you've joined the human camp. Our clan is being targeted by other evils, Big Brother. Have you really betrayed the evils and joined the humans?"

The Evil Rooster couldn't believe his ears.

He desperately wanted to say, "I haven't betrayed the evils, I'm just undercover with the humans." But he didn't know if the ginseng could understand him. If he spoke, all his efforts would be wasted.

But now, that wasn't important.

He just wanted to know if his clan was truly gone.

No...

Absolutely not.

Everything he had done was to become an Evil Hero, to return home with glory, to let all evils know that the Evil Chicken clan, the one they looked down upon, had an Evil Rooster who, through his own abilities, had achieved what no one else could.

At this moment, Lin Fan's hand landed on the Evil Rooster's head.

A caring caress.

But to the Evil Rooster, it felt like a terrifying omen. Had he been too emotional, revealing his true identity?

If so...

Wouldn't everything he had done be for nothing?

"Cluck!"

The Evil Rooster put away his sorrowful expression, acting as he usually did, as if he hadn't taken the news to heart. But his heart ached, ached so much he wanted to cry.

Although he was an evil, he also had a family, a clan, companions.

When the evils wreaked havoc, the Evil Rooster, unlike other evils, still had a bit of kindness in him.

Little Black and Little Yellow, seeing Lin Fan, both took a wary step back.

Fearful.

Sure enough, their big brother had really joined the humans.

And they knew that humans were now terrifying.

"Hen," Lin Fan said gently, stroking the Evil Rooster's head, "Although I don't know who they are, I think they must be your family. Your heart is filled with sadness and grief. Tell me what's wrong."

"You're my friend, and my pet. I'll help you."

He could sense that the hen was different than usual.

Little Black and Little Yellow were shocked by the human's kindness towards their big brother, but they were more puzzled. Would he really help?

The Evil Rooster didn't speak.

He didn't tell Little Black and Little Yellow to leave. Instead, a fierce internal struggle raged within him.

He was an Evil Rooster with a dream.

He had thought he could achieve his goal by working undercover with the humans. So far, he hadn't gained anything, but he had earned their trust. Now... if he exposed himself, he would be completely finished.

But he couldn't bear to lose his home.

Slowly, he raised a wing and pointed into the distance.

Lin Fan said, "Are you saying it's in that direction?"

The Evil Rooster nodded.

"Alright, let's go."

The Evil Chickens' home was in a forest, some distance from Yanhai City. By plane, it would take a few hours to reach; overall, the journey was quite far.

This small forest had nothing particularly unusual about it.

It covered a decent area.

After the evils withdrew from the human world, no one knew where they had gone. But to the evils, they had simply gone to places where humans would have difficulty finding them.

Bonfires burned in piles.

A group of Evil Chickens were caged, huddled together for warmth, fearfully watching the Evil Jackals that surrounded them with predatory gazes.

On a throne made of bones, an Evil Jackal King, now able to walk on two legs, looked coldly at the captured prey.

"Your Evil Chicken clan has produced a traitor. He has joined the humans, which is a disgrace to us evils," the Evil Jackal King said grimly.

The claws propping up his chin gleamed ominously.

For the Evil Chicken clan, it was absolutely terrifying.

"Your Majesty, he is a disgrace," an Evil Groundhog said respectfully, standing beside the throne.

The Evil Groundhogs had no other skills but to tattle.

Anything they knew…

They would absolutely inform everyone within a very short time.

"Hmm." The Evil Jackal King nodded with satisfaction, then looked curiously at the Evil Groundhog. "You're weak, that's for sure, but you're still somewhat useful. Not bad, not bad. But your Groundhog clan seems to be dwindling in numbers."

"Ah, that's true. Our numbers are indeed decreasing," the Evil Groundhog sighed, then added, "Your Majesty, although our Groundhog clan is weak, we are actually very useful. Many of my brothers and sisters work for various Evil bosses. In terms of achievements, I'm probably the weakest, because Your Majesty's strength, compared to those Evil bosses, is really too weak."

After saying this…

The Evil Groundhog didn't realize anything was wrong with his words.

He just felt the Evil Jackal King staring at him.

The Evil Groundhog blushed slightly under the gaze, saying shyly, "Your Majesty, you're making me blush."

"Blush?" The Evil Jackal King's voice was grim.

"Yes, really blushing."

Snap!

With lightning speed, the Evil Jackal King snatched the Evil Groundhog in his paw.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

"Doing."

"No, don't!"

"Damn it, now I understand why your clan is so scarce. Are they all like you?"

"Ah, yes, my brothers and sisters are all like me."

The Evil Groundhog was still confused, feeling that the King was acting strangely, but he answered truthfully nonetheless.

In an instant, a horrifying scene unfolded.

The Evil Jackal King opened his mouth and bit off the Evil Groundhog's head.

Splash!

Blood splattered everywhere.
