A group of people rushed forward, with the hulking n leading the younger ones, intending to capture the five of them.
In the end, Wu Yang was furious, as he was caught off guard last ti! Now they wanted to try again?
Over my dead body!
To sacrifice them?
Then let’s end this, better to die early and be freed.
Dead is dead.
Might as well take a gamble.
When the shovel was swung around, it was indeed mighty and powerful, holding off the crowd behind him.
The problem was, forgive this kid’s lack of skill, and he planted face-first into the snow.
Which drew uproarious laughter from the others.
"Kid, you’d better learn how to use a shovel properly before showing off. It’s really a disgrace. Now the students from the dicine God Association are all this weak? Not like in our day. Ah, the tis have changed, and the younger generation doesn’t study hard."
One by one, they jeered at Wu Yang from the side, it was blatant discrimination.
And indeed, they were discriminating.
"Haha, now even the doctors from the dicine God Association are a joke, look at how frail they are, and still daring to co to Kunlun Mountain? Not to underestimate you, but with your scrawny body, you’re not even fit to feed a Divine Beast."
"Your thigh isn’t even as thick as my arm, and you still want to fight? Haven’t you grown any brains?"
Village Chief Gu looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao, the child hadn’t moved, nor spoken, with a calm expression and not a hint of fear or timidity.
"Alright, stop bickering and get them inside quickly. It’s minus forty degrees, don’t want to freeze into popsicles."
The crowd laughed loudly, "Chief, if you hadn’t ntioned it, we’d have forgotten. Wow, this weather really is cold."
A dozen n surrounded them, ready to grab the five of them.
Just then, Jiang Xiaoxiao moved.
Swiftly, so fast that she was almost a blur, the image of Jiang Xiaoxiao was like a shadow, as quick as lightning.
The dozen n in front all fell down.
In an instant!
Yes!
In a single mont.
The entire village gawked in shock.
n, won, young and old staggered back a few steps.
The n lay on the ground, groaning in pain.
Jiang Xiaoxiao sheathed her dagger at her waist and looked at the house by the village entrance.
"Whose house is this?"
The tone was gentle and soft, yet to everyone it sounded like the voice of a demon.
Soone timidly spoke up.
"It’s Old Five’s on the ground, he and his brother live there, no one else."
A boy, only half a man’s height, carried a small bundle on his back.
He was lightly dressed, visibly shivering.
His eyes were bright, lips turning blue.
"Gu Xin, do you... believe... I could kill you and your sickly... sister?"
The man on the ground threatened painfully, his face contorted in agony.
The boy recoiled a few steps, tightly protecting the bundle behind him.
Jiang Xiaoxiao lightly tapped the man’s forehead with her toe.
The man on the ground fainted from the pain.
Jiang Xiaoxiao clapped her hands, "Now, this house is ours. No one should co here looking for trouble. Until the weather improves, don’t provoke us, and we can all live peacefully. Think carefully about the consequences of crossing ."
Jiang Xiaoxiao glanced at the boy, "Your na is Gu Xin?"
The boy looked at Village Chief Gu, bravely puffing his chest, "My na is Gu Xin. Can you take us in? I can help you with many things, I won’t be a burden, neither will my sister."
"Why do you think I would take you in? Why should I take you in?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao was amused; this child was certainly confident.
She did like to ddle, but not with everything.
Especially since Gu Xin was clearly one of them.
Who would invite trouble into their own ho?
"You... you’re a good person!"
Jiang Xiaoxiao didn’t even spare Gu Xin a glance, just left with her group.
She had just changed her mind.
The mountain path was obvious, but clearing the snow wasn’t feasible.
Without clearing the snow, entering the forest ant certain death, better to find a house at the village foot to rest.
She chose this house because it’s near the back mountain, in a remote location, with fewer nearby houses, relatively safe.
As long as there’s shelter from the cold, she could manage food to survive this harsh weather.
Hoping to pull through alive.
Of course, as long as the villagers don’t offend her, everyone can indeed coexist peacefully.
If they do cross her, Jiang Xiaoxiao felt that in a matter of life and death, she would choose them to die.
A doctor is not a savior, she is not Jesus.
The self-sacrificing principle is greatly respected, but obviously not applicable here.
The hatred between these people and them is deep, they want them dead, should she still show rcy?
That’s absurd.
Bai Xiao and the others helped Wu Yang into that house.
The house was occupied by two n!
It was usually a ss, the sll unpleasant.
Fortunately, Bai Xiao and the group were quite capable.
Before long, the space was tidied up.
The house was much more orderly, unnecessary items thrown out.
Essential things were brought out, everyone quietly doing their part, no questions asked.
If asked, it was about space.
After witnessing Jiang Xiaoxiao bring out coats and boots once, did they really need to ask?
They were fortunate to have Jiang Xiaoxiao as a companion, as she was so powerful.
Otherwise, they’d be dead before they knew it.
Even they were dumbstruck by Jiang Xiaoxiao’s earlier display.
If asked, they’d likely just surrender.
Wu Yang and Jiang Xiaoxiao cut down the few trees near the house, bringing the wood inside as firewood.
It wasn’t convenient to go too far.
Of course, they also had to guard against any malicious intent from the villagers. After moving in, the villagers had already moved all the n lying on the ground back to the village.
Now the area in front of the house was clean, the villagers gone without a trace.
With Jiang Xiaoxiao’s abilities, cutting a few trees for firewood was no problem.
Just in case, Jiang Xiaoxiao deliberately chopped a few more trees behind the house.
Turning them into sections, she built a fenced yard at the entrance, so anyone wanting to co in would have to climb over the barrier.
These were raw timber trees.
Not just anyone could casually enter.
It was only at this point that Jiang Xiaoxiao realized, her body having been tempered in the Otherworld, now in this world, she felt like a superhuman.
Didn’t Wu Yang’s eyes just glow with admiration and reverence?
"Xiao Xiao, Boss, I’m going to stick with you from now on! You’re amazing."
Wu Yang said with genuine admiration.
Jiang Xiaoxiao’s heart stirred.
In fact, there were still a lot of Dragon Crystals in her space, after she accidentally tossed them into the field, she found that she could actually cultivate Dragon Crystals there. She wasn’t sure how Dragon Crystals worked.
But it’s certain that Dragon Crystals can change a person’s physique, maybe they could change Wu Yang and the others’ bodies?
This way, she wouldn’t always have to face everything alone.
With all four of them having enhanced bodies, they should at least be able to protect themselves and cooperate in ergencies.
She needed a team; it couldn’t always be just her charging ahead alone.
Sotis the strength of everyone is needed.
