Chapter 283: Chapter 283 Only One Person Dares to Call Themselves God in This World

The village chief had a lecherous and disgusting expression on his face, anyone could tell this old man had dirty thoughts.

If Xiaomei were really taken back, it wouldn’t just be for a chat.

Xiaomei was so frightened that her face turned pale as she hid behind her mother.

Although the woman was also scared, a woman becomes strong when she is a mother. She stood in front of Xiaomei like a hen protecting her chicks, firmly shielding her.

The village chief’s complexion darkened, and he sneered, "What, you’re not willing?"

The woman pleaded, "Village chief, please spare this widow and orphan."

The village chief grinned, revealing his yellow tobacco-stained teeth, with a wicked smile on his face, "I let you go, but will those immortals in the mountains spare the people in our village?"

"Don’t say I bully you, I’ll give you two choices now. One, offer blood. Two, let Xiaomei accompany me home for a chat."

The woman’s eyes were full of desolation. Isn’t this bullying?

"Village chief, Xiaomei is just a child. I beg you to let her go."

The village chief’s face was lecherous as he stared at Xiaomei’s slightly bulging chest, and he smirked, "Not that small anymore!"

Faced with the village chief’s predatory gaze, Xiaomei trembled in fear.

The woman’s face was pleading, but there was resentment in her eyes, burning with anger that she dared not express.

The village chief sneered, "Since you won’t choose, I’ll choose for you. Take Xiaomei back for me."

The two tall young men standing behind the village chief stepped forward to take Xiaomei without a word.

The woman’s gaze grew fierce as she stood in front of Xiaomei. She would risk her life for her child.

However, facing two tall and strong youths, she felt a deep sense of helplessness. The power gap was too great.

"Stop!"

Just as the two youths were about to push past the woman to take Xiaomei away, an indignant shout came from inside the house. Then, Lan Jiaojiao lifted the curtain and walked out, with Lei Xiao following closely behind.

The village chief and his two companions’ eyes lit up upon seeing Lan Jiaojiao. They were shocked, as with their limited perception, they had probably never seen such a beautiful woman in their lives.

Compared to Lan Jiaojiao, Xiaomei was just a childish kid.

The woman looked anxiously at Lan Jiaojiao, having advised her not to come out. She knew the village chief’s character too well, greedy and lustful, bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

Lan Jiaojiao stepped forward, her beautiful face full of anger, having heard everything clearly inside.

"At such an old age, the things you do are truly disgusting. Bullying widows and orphans, are you even human?"

The village chief’s gaze darkened. He was the spokesperson for those immortals in the mountains, the local tyrant of this village. No one had ever dared insult him.

He sneered, then looked at the woman, "Is she your relative?"

"Village chief, this is Immortal Doctor Lan, she’s from the city. It was thanks to her that Xiaozhen survived." The woman stressed that she was from the city, hoping to intimidate the village chief.

However, the village chief’s eyes lit up as he looked at Lan Jiaojiao, "Immortal Doctor? So your medical skills must be good? Just right, I’ve had a problem lately, feels like it doesn’t last long, could you take a look?"

As he spoke, he made a very vulgar gesture, "Do I need to take off my pants to be examined? Shall I take them off then..."

"Are you courting death?" Lei Xiao shouted in anger.

Lan Jiaojiao, her face full of disgust, took a step forward, her long beautiful leg delivering a straight kick, hitting the village chief’s stomach directly.

Boom!

The village chief flew back like a cannonball, crashing hard into the wall behind, shaking the whole room, with cement from the wall falling down in chunks.

Even if Lan Jiaojiao’s cultivation was shallow, she was still a Qi Refiner.

The village chief bounced off the wall and fell to the ground, writhing in pain, curling up like a cooked shrimp, letting out a heartbreaking wail. He felt like his intestines were twisted, with several bones in his body broken.

The woman and Xiaomei were jaw-dropped, their faces full of shock. They didn’t expect seemingly delicate Lan Jiaojiao to be so powerful, actually kicking a grown man flying.

The two youths following the village chief were also dumbfounded, completely stunned and unable to react for a moment.

The village chief let out a painful wail, finally catching his breath after a long moment, snarling angrily, "Are you two dead? Get them for me..."

But before he could finish his words, Lei Xiao delivered a punch and a kick, knocking both youths unconscious without them even letting out a sound.

Lei Xiao, being at the Qi Cultivation Late Stage, knocking out two men was as easy as playing.

Lan Jiaojiao looked at the woman, "What did he just mean by offering blood?"

The woman looked at Lan Jiaojiao with respect, no longer hiding, she explained everything that had happened.

It turned out that the village was linked to the large hills in the mountains, where a group of immortals lived, and the village chief was their spokesperson.

Every month, the people of the village had to offer fresh blood to these immortals, who would then bless the village with favorable weather and good harvests.

If they didn’t offer the blood, then the deities would become furious and use Immortal Techniques, leaving the village’s crops barren.

Lan Jiaojiao frowned, "What era is this? How can you still believe in the existence of immortals? What kind of immortals harm people instead of protecting them?"

"It’s true, we’ve all seen those immortals. They move swiftly, and they can punch rocks as big as tables to pieces and kick trees as thick as thighs and break them." The woman said with a face full of seriousness.

Lan Jiaojiao sighed, "You’ve all been deceived. They are not immortals, they are probably Qi Refiners. They can’t ensure favorable weather for you; that’s just an excuse to make you offer blood."

The woman looked puzzled, "What is a Qi Refiner?"

Lan Jiaojiao didn’t explain further, but said, "Don’t worry! There’s no such thing as immortals in this world. Even if there were, they wouldn’t harm people. I will help you resolve this matter."

Lan Jiaojiao turned and walked towards the village chief, speaking coldly, "Take me to see those so-called deities."

The village chief looked at Lan Jiaojiao with a grim face, then nodded. It wasn’t that he was yielding, but he knew he wasn’t a match for Lan Jiaojiao and thought he’d have those immortals deal with her. Since you want to court death, I’ll fulfill your wish.

Lan Jiaojiao kicked the village chief, "Get up, lead the way."

Lei Xiao sneered, "I also want to see what kind of trash these ones pretending to be gods are?"

Lan Jiaojiao turned and said, "Lei Xiao, wake those two up."

Lei Xiao woke the two unconscious youths, having them join in leading the way.

"Immortal Doctor Lan, please be careful." The woman looked worried.

Lan Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Don’t worry. Tell the people in your village, there are no immortals in this world. And if there really were, only one person would dare to call himself a god."

Lei Xiao furrowed his thick brows, wondering who Lan Jiaojiao was referring to?

He couldn’t guess that Lan Jiaojiao was referring to Qin Yi, whom he looked down upon.

The two youths supported the village chief, leading the way towards the innermost part of the village.

Twenty minutes later, they entered a narrow mountain path, and after passing through it, they reached a large mountain and a series of hills known as Hundred Pleats Ridge.
