Chapter 19 Luo Village

Looking at the south direction, his figure flickers through the forest, each step a kilometer ahead of the previous one, avoiding all obstacles.

After a while, Lin Lee walks outside the forest edge sighing in relief, looking at the barren land in front and a path beside it, probably for chariots and travelers.

Then there are fields of crops on the other side of the path. Also, some paths are passing through the field all the way to the human inhabitant far away. Lin Lee can see tiny group of houses at the corner of each path, looking like villages.

He walked forward on the path, toward a village looking at the ripe fields around. He was surprised, by the huge wheat grain's, each the size of thumb.

'As expected of heaven and earth aura, it can enhance and evolve the plants also.' He thought in surprise.

Near the village, he halted beside a farmer man working in the huge field, sitting harvesting the field, "Excuse me."

The farmer is a middle-aged man with a burly built, short hair, and wheaty complexion. He stops his work and stood up, glancing at Lin Lee in surprise looking at his clothes. He walked toward him and curiously asked, "Do you need anything? Young Master."

Lin Lee became speechless, 'Why did he call me young master?' then he didn't care asked thoughtfully, "Can you tell me the direction of the nearby larger city?"

The farmer was startled, then nodded pointing at east direction.

"Young Master, You can follow the east. After a few miles, you will reach 'Capital City Golden Elephant'," the farmer replied politely.

Lin Lee nodded calmly, thanked him, and then turns around and walks toward the main path.

"Young Master wait," The farmer then called him.

Lin Lee turned around suspiciously, looking at him raised his brow.

The farmer hesitated then said, "Young Master, if you are going to the capital city, you can go with us in a while. We are going to supply the crops and medicine, you can stay at my house as a guest." the farmer says being hospitable.

Lin Lee was surprised, then glanced at him thoughtfully, 'Well, it's also fine, I can ask him few questions about this Empire.' calmly nodded and then goes inside the village along with him.

"I am Luo Jin. Also, our village is called Luo village," the farmer, Luo Jin, introduces himself with a serious face.

Lin Lee nodded then introduced himself, saying, "I am Lin Lee from the Lin Clan."

Luo Jin was startled then fell silent. "He is from the Clan, the clan only Innate practitioners are eligible to establish. This young master must also be a practitioner, but I haven't heard of Lin Clan nearby." Suppressing his doubt, he asked curiously, "Where are you from, young master? I haven't seen the fabric of your clothes before."

Lin Lee startled glanced at him, then replied calmly, "I am from nearby Empire."

Luo Jin nodded in surprise, then walked forward, showing Lin Lee the way and telling him about village.

Lin Lee also asked few questions about the Kingdom or Empire ruling this land, Luo Jin replied patiently. "Young Master, our village is located in the capital state of the four states of Four Elephant Empire."

Lin Lee nodded then saw the village and houses around, everything exuding an aura of age. Looking at the villagers bowing and greeting Luo Jin, he thought to himself, 'He is probably the head of this village.' They walked inside a house, Luo Jin then let him sit inside the guest hall walked away.

After a while, a female appeared, about 13 to 14 years old, carrying a bowl. "Here, young master, a bowl of fresh soup. Please drink it," she spoke with a extremely red shy face, putting the tray and bowl on the table.

Lin Lee became speechless looking at her expression, 'So this is those shy village girl's.' Then picked the bowl smelling the fresh aroma, 'So fresh.' he nodded with a smile and thanked.

Then started drinking the soup, feeling the fresh taste of crops and meat. He was surprised, "It's delicious."

The girl nodded, a little embarrassed with red face said shyly, "My name is Luo Li. My father said, if young master need anything, you can tell me."

Lin Lee nodded, 'So it's his daughter.' then glanced at her, she is a beauty with sharp oval face and wheatish complexion like her father, also slim body wearing ancient clothes, looks like a little worn out. Carefully combed lengthy hair with long dual bang beside her face.

'She looks more attractive in her own way with wheatish complexion.' Lin Lee thought to himself.

Luo Li became extremely embarrassed, feeling Lin Lee stare, hurriedly left the hall, Lin Lee glanced at her back speechlessly. 'I wasn't going to eat her.'

Instantly, his eyesight fell on a small figure hiding behind the door, peeking at him or staring at him.

Lin Lee stared back. Instantly, the figure ran away, leaving him speechless. 'It seems I am also a child-eating monster,' he thought, shaking his head smiled, then picked up the bowl calmly started drinking the rest of the soup.

Stare!!!

He sighed, feeling depressed. 'Why is this little girl staring and peeking at me again?' Then, thinking of something, his figure disappeared.

"Eeeh," the little girl flinched, hurriedly revealing herself, trotted inside the hall with small legs and twin ponytails flickering behind her head, looking around curiously and astonishingly.

"What are you looking for, little sister?" Instantly,

a voice sounded behind her, scaring her into a jump. "Aaaahhh,"

She started crying, tears appearing in her eyes, looking at Lin Lee timidly, also with a little curiosity in her heart.

"Don't cry, here, take it." Lin Lee glanced at her tearful eyes guiltily, grabbed a colorful shining gem from his storage space (he got it after killing an Innate snake monster in the forest), and gave it to her.

The little girl's eyes lit up like stars looking at the gem, hesitated then grabbed it, ran away from the guest hall.

Lin Lee sighed in relief, shook his head, returned to the chair, and started drinking the rest of the soup.

After finishing the soup, he leaned back to rest, closed his eyes.

After a while,

The little girl returned and stood in front of him, hesitated.

Lin Lee opened his eyes, looking at the little girl standing in front of him with a slightly sad expression. He sat up raised his brow, rubbed her head, and asked curiously, "What is it, little sister?"

"Big Brother, the bad guys are here. They are going to take my sister away. Please save her. I will give you my toy," the little girl said silently with tears in her eyes, giving him her wooden toy from her hand.

Lin Lee was surprised, looking at the toys thoughtfully. Then, patted her head cleared the tears from her eyes, assured with a smile, "Don't worry, your sister will be fine. What is your name?" Then asked curiously.

The little girl was startled, looking at smile on Lin Lee face her little face turned red. She replied shyly, "My name is Luo Mi, Big Brother."

Lin Lee nodded helplessly looking at her shy expression, then sensed the outside situation with his soul sense,

'A 10th level Martial artist and a 5th level Martial artist.' He became thoughtful,

"Let's go," grabbed Luo Mi small hand walked outside.

Outside the Luo House,

"My son!!!" A middle-aged lady was sitting beside a coffin crying, a young man was lying inside. Luo Li was also sitting beside it, crying whispering. "big brother!"

Luo Jin was standing beside his son's corpse sadly, but he was looking at the young man about 20 years old in front of him. There was also an old man standing behind the young man.

"Your son was a fool. He shouldn't offend the Second Mistress. He was thrashed to death as a punishment. Also, I am here to destroy the whole family. A slave should have the consciousness of a slave. If our Sima family doesn't set an example, then every slave will ride our head," the young man said calmly as if stating a fact, then glanced at the Luo Li, ordering the old man beside him.

"Old Yao, I will leave it to you. Leave that girl, destroy the rest of the Village."

The old man beside him nodded, raising his hand started condensing his aura.

Luo Jin's face changed, including Luo Li and her mother, they forgot to cry instead falling into a daze.

The whole villagers spectators around turned pale in fright, despair shrouding their faces. 'Our Village is over.'

The next second, everybody froze. The expression of Sima Family young master and the old man named Yao changed.

Suddenly! A heavy pressure fell on their bodies.

Puft!!!

Both the young man and the Old Yao spurted blood from their mouth, fell on their knees, started coughing blood constantly.

'Innate,' a thought flashed through both of their heads.

... Chapter End ...
