A Normal Person

Hearing Mo Xie's words, Si Shen couldn't help but feel enraged.

"Oh-oh, be sure to think twice before making your move." At this moment, Mo Xie's word followed up.

Si Shen looked at the cave again checking if there are more people that Mo Xie had bought, yet, after scanning it, he... or should it be changed to a female now, she couldn't find any life signals inside the cave.

"You are only prolonging your death." (Si Shen.)

Mo Xie immediately received all the answers from her anger, so now, the next one is to continue; "See those two statues?"

Mo Xie pointed at Ma Ruan and his lover's statue.

Si Shen looked at the statue yet, she couldn't feel anything; "You are really seeking your death!"

Si Shen held her sword on both of her hands, preparing to deal with Mo Xie, silencing him permanently.

"Oy, I already told you, if you use offensive skills inside this village, the energy where it is gathering in your body will definitely be injured, severely... well, it might depend on how much Spiritual Energy you are using." Mo Xie spoke with shrugged shoulders.

"If you do not heed my warning, you`ll only suffer." Mo Xie added and with a little grin on his face.

Seeing his smiling face, Si Shen couldn't even help but felt even more enraged, but still, she is still thinking if what he said is true, with her doubts residing in her mind, she started to gather a little bit of Spiritual Energy on her left hand.

"Let's see if your bluff will work." Si Shen couldn't help but utter as the energy in her hands started to materialize.

"Chasing Su- iyaaaaa!" Si Shen couldn't even finish her word as a piercing pain started to assault her left hand, with the sudden damage caused to her, she immediately knelt on the ground.

"What happened?" A voice sounded as a man appeared, it is Ma Dong, the village chief.

As soon as he asked, he saw Si Shen squirming on the ground.

"Wh-why did you use a skill inside the village?!" Ma Dong couldn't help but exclaim.

Hearing this, Si Shen couldn't help but look at Mo Xie in a strange way, how can he, a mere bronze rank cultivator actually know so much stuff about defensive formation? How great is his insight, but what's shocking is that he can even see that she's on a disguise?

"Who are you?" Si Shen couldn't help but ask Mo Xie something strange, something weird for the current events.

Hearing this, Mo Xie couldn't help but ponder, if he wants to just settle down for now, what kind of occupation should he have? But after pondering it for a while, he had decided.

"I'm a normal person that wishes to live a peaceful life?" Mo Xie tilted his head, he himself wasn't sure of it, so he'd just invent some words for the meantime.

[A normal person...] Both Si Shen and Ma Dong became speechless.

Ma Dong immediately woke up from his daze as he rushed towards Si Shen.

"Tsk!" Ma Dong made an annoying noise as he started fixing Si Shen's hands.

"It's no good, it might be too late to save it." Ma Dong spoke as he sighed.

Si Shen couldn't believe it, there is no visible injury in her left hand, yet, there seemed to be something different.

The pain subsided after a few more minutes, she looked at her hand in agony.

"Oh, that's really bad, I guess you can only use those hands for pleasing your husband huh?" At this moment, Mo Xie spoke carrying a mocking tone in his voice, yet, his face has carried no hint of mockery nor arrogance, only looking at her in pity.

Si Shen's anger soared, yet, she couldn't even vent it on him.

"Prince! What happened?!" Sun Meng's voice sounded as he immediately appeared by Si Shen's side, he rushed immediately hearing Si Shen's howl, yet, at the time he arrived, there seemed to be no injuries on her body.

"Prince, why are you kneeling on the ground?" Sun Meng asked again.

"It's nothing." Si Shen immediately replied she stood up as she glanced at Mo Xie one last time before heading out.

Sun Meng also looked at Mo Xie, the event that happened here must definitely have something to do with this young man, but since Si Shen didn't say anything more, he has no other intention to pry into the matters.

And just as they were about to leave, Mo Xie spoke again: "If you leave that unattended for a week, that injury will never heal again... well that's what I know about it."

"No matter if it will heal or not does not concern you." Si Shen didn't even look back as she continued her way out.

"Oh, okay then." Mo Xie spoke and then mumbled something; "Such a shame that you wouldn't be able to break through from being an Earth ranked Coralist in your lifetime."

Hearing this, Si Shen frowned, she wanted to rebuke him, yet, no words can appear in her mind right now, as what Mo Xie had said can certainly be true.

She couldn't circulate the energy in her body, the whole of her left arm suffered a meridian attack, blocking her Spiritual Energy in flawlessly circulating in her body.

Even mortals have five meridians open, and that is to increase their physical strength for cultivators, it is to help them gather Spiritual Energy in order to break through, but Si Shen actually lost one of the most important meridian cycle points, the one on her left hand.

Her meridians, even if she could unlock the rest, without her left arm, the cycle will never happen ever again if the injured meridians aren't treated immediately.

"Wha...what did you say?!" Sun Meng howled as he glared at Mo Xie.

"Well, I'd advise you the same, you better not use any attacking skills or you will suffer the same fate as her." Mo Xie replied.

"What have you-" (Sun Meng)

"Enough!" Si Shen howled, she glared at Sun Meng before continuing her walk.

"Yes." Sun Meng replied, he glared at Mo Xie one last time before retreating himself.

The two of them immediately went outside the village, Ma Dong looked at Mo Xie as he asked.

"What did you do to her that you actually made her angry?"

Mo Xie sighed as he replied: "I just ask a question, why is she dressing as a female and if the demon race is freely cohabitating with the human, is that much to ask?"

Hearing his words, Ma Dong couldn't help but shake his head: "So, you are really from another World?"

Mo Xie looked at Ma Dong, but since this guy seemed trustable, he decided to answer: "Yes."

"Is there any problem?" (Mo Xie.)

Ma Dong nodded as he replied: "The different races are at war with each other, although the races deify the same God, all of them are never in a peaceful term with the other races."

Mo Xie immediately understood his meaning, he nodded his head and replied: "Then, I think I wouldn't be able to leave this village unscathed."

Ma Dong nodded as he replied: "Yes, but there is a way for you to get out of this situation without any problems."

"Hmm?" (Mo Xie.)

"You only need to take the citizens of this village as your people and lead us." (Ma Dong)

Hearing this, Mo Xie couldn't help but frown: "No."

Without any hesitation, Mo Xie replied.

Ma Dong nodded his head not pushing any further: "I understand, but if you ever feel that you want to take us under your wing, the village's gate is always open."

"For the meantime, you can stay here until they leave." (Ma Dong.)

"Thank you for your hospitality." Mo Xie replied with a bow.
