The Hero in Exile

"Let's go out and take a look at the situation first."

"Hey, wait a minute, I'll be right there."

"Why did you follow me even though you're injured like this?" Moran looked puzzled.

"I was wondering if you had forgotten this." Lingyu shook the iron chain on her arm.

Moran suddenly realized what was going on and looked at the chain and then at Lingyu in silence.

"Tsk, what a hassle." Moran muttered softly.

"Hey, that expression of yours really makes you want to be beaten." Lingyu showed a kind expression.

"I didn't say anything. I'll wait for you at the door."

Moran ran out of the door as if escaping. No one knew when this ugly woman would get angry. Of course, before leaving, he hid the magic sword and the holy sword under the bed to avoid causing trouble again.

"Well, this is it?"

When I went out, I saw a muscular man standing stealthily by the door, but it did spoil the view a bit to have such a muscular man hiding.

"Come out, I've seen you."

"You are really strong. My perfect disguise has been seen through." The man walked slowly from the side and his whole body was clearly seen.

What kind of disguise is this? Isn't just standing behind a door a disguise? Wait, this looks familiar.

"It's you, your name seems to be Wu..."

"Wu Jian."

"Oh yeah, that's what you and your brother wanted to do just now, right?"

Moran will never forget what happened just now. As a demon king, he could still be bullied by a small human being. If he still had the power he had before, he would have turned his ashes into dust.

"This..." Wu Jian scratched his head awkwardly.

"Forget what happened just now, just pretend it didn't happen. Then what are you doing at the door now?"

Although it feels good to see him get humiliated, I still need to find out why he is here.

"The village chief asked me to take you to the village center for dinner."

"Then tell the village chief that we will be here soon. I need to check on my wife's condition now."

"Oh, the entrance to the village is not far ahead. I'll go first. My home is next door. You can call me and my brother if you have any problems in the future." Wu Jian pointed to the wooden house next to him and left, apparently heading to the center of the village.

"I seemed to hear you talking to someone just now." Lingyu came out of the room soon.

"Oh, it's okay. It's Wu Jian. He just came to inform us to go to the village center for dinner."

"Oh."

"He said he was here to inform us, but he may have been standing at the door for a long time, or even observing us." Moran spoke out his inner speculation.

"Why?" Lingyu showed a puzzled expression.

Moran pointed at the door and said, "Look, there is dust all around, but there is only a blank space like a footprint here. Do you still need to think about it?"

"What should we do now?" Lingyu's face showed a hint of worry.

If that's the case, the dinner party might be a scam, and when you go there it'll turn into the Hongmen Banquet, and that'll be all.

"What are you afraid of? I can definitely make my way out in my current condition. Besides, after eating so many wild fruits, don't you want to eat something else?" Moran said as he walked towards the center of the village.

"Hey, if I'm so careless, will I..."

Wait, what is that smelling so good? Before I know it, the air is filled with the aroma of meat.

The aroma of meat coming from the center of the village rushed over, tempting Lingyu's hungry stomach, kissing her dry nose, and her feet unconsciously moved forward.

"I suddenly feel that what you said makes a lot of sense."

"Hey wait, don't run so fast."

Watching Lingyu running out, he hurried to catch up in case he was pulled over by the lock ring, but he didn't expect her to run so fast. She didn't look like a wounded person at all.

"Eat slowly, eat slowly."

The village chief looked at Lingyu, who looked like someone who had not eaten for several days. He kept picking up pieces of meat from the table and putting them into his mouth and swallowing them over and over again, fearing that he would choke.

"Thank you, village chief. My wife has embarrassed you all." After all, with so many people in the center of the village, he still had to give him some face.

"Uh... who... is it you? Uh... what are you doing?"

Moran directly picked up the meat from his bowl and blocked Lingyu's mouth.

"We were originally an inconspicuous noble, but because we offended other nobles, we were chased here. If we hadn't known some magic and met you, we would have died here. The hostility this morning was mainly because we thought you might be one of them." He bowed his head slightly to pretend to show respect to the village chief, and of course pressed Lingyu's head down by the way.

"It's okay. It's mainly because these two brothers found you while on night watch."

"Haha, let's just forget what happened this morning. But the noble you mentioned is really not a human being. He could chase you to such a state."

"Yes, there will be no nobles here after fighting each other."

Moran was relieved that he seemed to have let down his guard a little, but he still couldn't be careless now.

Bia bia bia

"Hey, can you please eat a little quieter?"

“But this is really delicious.”

.........

It was as if Lingyu had never been involved in the topic.

Damn, this guy is so rude when he's working here. Why would he have to deal with someone like him? Moran felt a little creepy.
