Chapter 279 Tell Them the Truth

Besides, that demon cat seemed to have some sort of talent for finding treasures.

The treasures Blood Dragon Village had accumalated for many years had been locked in a very hidden secret room under the main hall. At first, no one had found it. Unexpectedly, the demon cat easily found the entrance. As the crowd followed the cat in, they were shocked by the golden treasures.

Everyone knew that the Blood Dragon Village had accumulated a lot of treasures those years, but they did not expect that there were so many.

Gold, silver, jewels, high-quality weapons, and black crystals, as well as some good magic skills, combat skills, and manuals...

Among the secret rooms that occupied half an acre of land, there were dazzling treasures everywhere.

The people who entered the secret room were completely shocked. Some people wanted to madly take those treasures, but, after witnessing how the savage cat swallowed a master of the seven-apertured Martial Disciple Realm, all of them stopped at once.

“Meow! You’re really disloyal. The things were discovered by me! Whomever takes something, he dies!”

Evil Moon opened its mouth, revealing its little teeth and grinding them.

If an ordinary cat were that arrogant, the crowd would have kicked the shit out of it long ago. But that little master... No one wanted to be swallowed by its head that could expand at any time, so they chose to be obedient. What’s more, his owner was the bronze grimace mask man who had killed the ‘Crazy Ox Demon General’ with just one saber attack.

After some bargaining, the Qing River Town and the Valley Village each received 40% of those treasures; the remaining 20% was divided equally by other warriors and small sects.

“Meow! Why do I feel that I did something wrong today?” After the split, the cruel cat seemed to be aware of something.

“Kitten, you should wait until they are gone, and then open this secret room. That way the treasures inside will be ours, without a need to share it with others!” Gao Xue’er quietly said.

“Meow!” Evil Moon suddenly looked rather regretful. It then ground its little teeth and said madly, “Should I kill them all now and take back the treasure?”

Everyone on the spot shivered and was very nervous.

“No, we can’t kill good people. The Setting Out brother will be angry if you kill them,” Gao Xue’er shook her head as she replied.

“Meow! Alright then,” the devil cat said unhappily.

The warriors finally breathed a sigh of relief and burst into tears. They all wished to hug that lovely little girl and thank her. She was too talkative. Everyone talked and wanted to take the treasure and quickly leave. The cat was too cruel; they had better stay away from it.

...

When they returned to the village, the people of the Valley Village smiled broadly.

They had never felt as proud as they were that day, not since the day they were born! Those big men who used to look down upon them now turned to flattering faces, like pugs. That feeling was really cool!

Moreover, they had gotten a large amount of grain and weapons from the Blood Dragon Village after breaking through. It was enough for them to spend over 10 winters.

Before they set off, ‘Setting out with One Saber’ had asked them to take their carriages and even the unicycle strollers. At first, the villagers didn’t know what he meant. Now they understood. Those were for the treasure!

“Setting out with One Saber, chivalrous man, this time it really depended on you that we Valley Village could get through this disaster. You re-created our Valley Village. You’re our great benefactor. All of us kneel before you...”

Gao Feng, the village chief, was excited and incoherent.

The other villagers were also going to kneel down.

Those days everyone had witnessed what Ding Hao had done for them. The poor village that had no guardians and struggled to survive finally saw hope. Without Ding Hao, the Valley Village might have already disappeared by then!

“Uncles, don’t be so polite.” Ding Hao waved his hand, and an invisible force poured out, helping everyone to stand on their feet.

“With your help, we could get these treasures. We from the Valley Village willingly give all the treasures to you.” Gao Feng looked sincere and the people around him were calm. It seemed that on the way back, they had already discussed that.

They were a group of simple and honest villagers.

Ding Hao’s eyes fell on the demon cat.

“Meow!” Evil Moon was shocked, widening his eyes. It behaved cutely and said with an innocent tone, “Why are you looking at me like that? Although I like these shiny things, I definitely did not force them to do so!”

“The cat is innocent, and it allowed me to rub its soft belly,” Gao Xue’er said, while she rubbed Evil Moon’s belly once again.

Ding Hao bowed his head and thought seriously for a while. He then sighed and said, “Under the circumstances, I’ll tell you the truth. I didn’t come to the Valley Village for no reason. Just when I was exploring the ancient Sect site in the Western Rock Mountain Range last month, I met with Guo Nu, and we became brothers. I had thought that we could learn martial arts from each other and drink wine. But unexpectedly, Brother Guo Nu was killed by someone. When I arrived, Brother Guo could not be saved. When he died, he asked me to come to the Valley Village to be a guardian and help your village to get through this winter. But it was coincidental that I met Gao Feng in Peaceful City!”

“What? Brother Guo, he...” Gao Feng was stunned.

“Yes, Brother Guo has passed away.” Ding Hao took Guo Nu’s giant saber from his storage ring and took out the sharp ancient knife that Guo Nu obtained from the underground ruins that day; he handed them over to Gao Feng, saying, “I have observed you these days. Xue’er is the only one who has the talent to be a martial artist in your village. Village chief Gao, please take these two weapons. After Xue’er is strong enough, she can use them.”

There were tears in Gao Feng’s eyes.

He saw the weapon and thought of Guo Nu. In the past years, Guo Nu had kept guarding them and was deeply loved. Almost everyone treated him as a father or a brother. They had deep feelings for Guo Nu. Since Guo Nu’s disappearance, the villagers were extremely anxious, but they always held a glimmer of hope that someday the robust man would show before the entrance of the village as usual, but after receiving the news...
