Sorry Mr. Saint

A plethora of different foods were arranged for the feast, as the village people gathered around it before praying again as they started eating, Ryuu himself had been escorted with honor by the Village Chief himself, Ryuu eat a healthy serving of curry rice with a side of fried fish, normally Ryuu eats more than a few adult males themselves but he knew that the village did not have too much resource as such he did not want to sink his fangs on the already dwindling resources of the village, he saw from the corner of his eyes that his escorts understood the same as they ate just to honor their host. To Ryuu who had tasted Spirit Food since as long as he could remember the normal food tasted a bit bland, but seeing the excited and happy smile on his friend's face he understood that they did not get to eat even this too often.

Soon they finished eating, and it was time for Ryuu to leave.

Ryuu quickly gathered his friends around him as he spoke, "Everyone I got some gifts for you."

At that everyone was happy only for their happiness turned to shock and awe as Ryuu produced a few cultivation manuals as well as a few manuals of various Techniques mostly of Rank 2 and below.

Ladon the oldest among the village children, "Ryuu is this, what I think this is?", Ryuu nodded heavily with a smile, "But you said you could not teach us anything much less give us anything related to cultivation.", he stammered out.

Ryuu spoke with a smile, "I said I will not be able to teach you anything from my master's library, but this are something my sister bought from outside as such I have no problem giving you this and as for teaching you I have not taught you anything, and neither will I teach you anything but that doesnot mean I cannot offer my help and advice.", he finished with a wink.

The children of Tardide were floored by Ryuu's generosity, Cultivation Manuals and Techniques were very rare and priceless for the residents of Tardide, as such they were deeply moved now they will be able to become like those Heroes and Heroines they had read in stories.

Ryuu smiled at their happy reactions as they nearly cried with joy specially the girls, and he returned the hug with equally jubilation, while inwardly he frowned, 'I may have given them various manuals and techniques but at the end of the day they have too low spirit veins, lower than 40 and the resources mainly the Ki present in this area is so low that they will be already in their thirties before they can evn thing of stepping into Houtian Realm, and if they want to step into even higher Realms, they have to move into much better places but then their lack of Spirit Veins will drag them down.'

After sometime Ryuu returned back home as he entered he automatically nodded his head as he was welcomed by those who stayed behind, he turned towards Biskha as he spoke, "Biskha, please make me something I am famished."

Biskha just nodded at Ryuu as she went towards the kitchen while inwardly thinking, 'His Highness is really hungry, for someone who can eat at least 5 adult's worth of spirit food, for him to only eat normal food that to equivalent to a child, is too little.'

When Ryuu left with his escorts to join the celebration during the evening, Ryuu had learnt that the people of the village celebrated the auspicious day by offering prayers and food for their deceased ancestors during the day and by continuing the celebration through singing and dancing during the entire evening, they believed doing so would mean that they will show their ancestors that they have nothing to worry about.

But, when Ryuu arrived he was greeted by a pin drop silence, as he noticed that the people of the village were grouped together he found his friends distraught and the people of local militia lying on the ground in the pool of blood, a group of five people standing with one of them which he presumed to be the leader of the said group was standing with one of his legs on top of old man Arpaesis, the village Headman of Tardide.

The dirty blond man who had his feet on top of Arpaesis, "Now Now it is not difficult to understand you are going to pay 5000 gold coins, and hurry we do not have any time, oh and do not forget to get us all of your harvest, look at you all getting fattened up like pigs you should learn to share, now hurry up do not waste our time."

One of the elderly villager begged with a little fear, "My lord if you take all our harvest we won't be able to eat anything for months, please we have children and as for so much money we can hardly scrap a hundred gold coins let alone 5000, please have mercy."

The man got visibly angry if the pulsing vein on his head was any indications, as such shouted out in anger, "You senile shitty old fool if you have problem feeding those rat stains you call children then kill them, but I want my crops and as for money I do not care I want 5000 gold coins not a single coin less.", as he flared his 1st rank Xiantian level cultivation aura intimidating them.

Then suddenly the aura dissipated as saintly smile took his face as he spoke, "However I am a merciful person, I should be called a saint since I show mercy to you bugs, even after you openly so brazenly deny to pay the tax for polluting my eyes by existing, as such I will show mercy by completely overlooking your audacity and exempt from you people by paying us tax, only if you allow every female in your village to accompany us and take care of our needs, do not worry after we get bored we will throw them back at this shit hoe, so boys what do you think ain't I a saintly person."

The other four stooges just laughed loudly at that as they spoke, "You are really so magnanimous boss, you are epitome of saint, hahahahaha", all the while leering at the females of Tardide irrespective of their age.

Suddenly the leader of the group disappeared from his original place as a loud boom was heard from a few meters behind the rest of the group as a childish voice came to everyone's ears, "Oops,sorry Mr. Saint, I got a little late and as such I tried to come as soon as possible but unfortunately I slipped I hope you did not get hurt 'Mr. Saint'."

As everyone turned to look the saw a smiling Ryuu with his left leg stretched out and he was clearly missing the sandal on the said foot, all the while he was smiling with his eyes closed as he took a small folding fan as he opened it with a 'clack', as he covered his mouth from other's view with it.

To the children and even some villagers of Tardide he looked like some Hero from the stories they read while inside his mind he envisioned chibi versions of his elder sisters gave him a thumbs up as they held a placard with number 10, while shouting, 'Congrats Brother, you just nailed the 'Perfect Hero Entrance'.'
