The Hero in Exile

Honglin Village

This village is a subsidiary village of Ruilin City, the second largest city in the empire. It has existed here before the empire came to this continent. Even after the Second Human-Demon War, the village is still intact here.

People's singing could be heard from the wheat fields outside the village wall. Some were children's songs and some were songs brought by bards, but without exception, these songs were all praising the great harvest of crops that was about to come.

"I understand what the village chief just introduced, but can you tell us why you are starting to help take care of the fields now?" Moran couldn't believe that he had just finished his meal and now he was busy with farm work in the fields.

"Didn't the village chief and his men say that they were short of manpower recently..."

"I say, can you please take on this trouble when there is nothing to do? You might as well think about how to get rid of this broken lock." Moran pointed at Lingyu's forehead and said angrily.

"We just ate so much food for nothing, isn't it our duty to help now? And this will make them trust us more." Lingyu covered his brows.

"That's true. After all, it's inconvenient for some people to keep watching us."

"Look, I'm absolutely right." Hearing Moran's agreement, he couldn't help but smile.

But it should be you who ate so much food for nothing, and you said you were helping but you don’t know how to do this kind of thing, so I have to make an extra portion. Moran looked at Lingyu who was clumsy speechlessly, thinking that she is really a girl from a wealthy family.

"It's rude of you two to come here to help when you're guests."

"It's you, Wu Jian."

"No, I'm Wu Ming." Wu Ming smiled awkwardly at Lingyu.

"Really? I'm so sorry, but you two brothers look quite similar." Lingyu looked carefully but didn't find much difference.

"Indeed, many people in the village say this. We are used to being misunderstood. And I hope you won't mind what Brother Mo Lan did to offend us before."

"It's okay, the adults don't bear grudges." Moran acted in a superior manner.

"Haha, really? Then I won't bother you anymore and will leave."

After saying that, Wu Ming said a simple goodbye and walked towards the village entrance.

"Can't you speak normally? You look so ugly." He said when he saw Wu Ming walking away.

"I'm just telling the truth. It would be embarrassing for the Demon King to bother with humans." Moran continued with the farm work in his hands.

"you!"

Lingyu next to her kept talking with an unwilling look on her face, and Moran just said that it was right. Instead of arguing with her about this, it would be better to finish it early and rest early. After all, a woman like this would not listen to her, Moran thought.

"Waaaaahh, hurry…run."

"Hurry...run and call the village chief."

The villagers not far away ran towards the village entrance in fear, so fast that Mo Lan and Lingyu could not figure out the situation for a while.

"What's going on? Even if it's a huge sale, it shouldn't be sold out so fast."

"Hey, let me ask you something."

Moran grabbed a villager and asked about the situation. The villager struggled to get rid of Moran in panic.

"It's a demon wolf, a demon wolf!"

Seeing that the villagers were not in a normal mental state, as soon as he let go of their hands, the villagers rolled and crawled away.

"Demon wolf? Isn't that something that only comes out at night?"

"Moran, look over there."

There was a lot of noise coming from the wooden jars near the farmland. Lingyu Moran prepared for battle and was ready to face the next situation at any time.

"What's going on?"

The demon wolf slowly walked out from the bushes and looked at the two of them viciously.

In Moran's impression, this kind of low-level monster would only appear at night, but the appearance of the magic wolf in broad daylight was really strange.

"Be careful when they come."

At Lingyu's warning, he dodged to the side, and in an instant the demon wolf's attack had reached the previous position.

"How dare you, low-level monsters, hurt me, Dark Shackles."

The demon wolf that charged forward was tied up by iron chains that emerged from the shadows, but it still did not completely lose its ability to move.

"Hurry up, my shackles can't hold on any longer."

"Got it, Fireball." Lingyu who was standing next to him naturally did not sit idle and used the time she had gained to prepare the magic.

Ouch~~

In the end, the demon wolf turned into ashes in the flames.

"I was so scared, luckily there was only one demon wolf." Lingyu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Let's go back to the village first. It looks like it's not safe outside."

"makes sense."
