The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 85 - Hero of Hemei Village
"E... Hero of Hemei Village?" celtuk Huang Kun confirmed his sitting position was a little interested, he had not known Xin Fai further and did not expect his junior to now have such a nickname.
"Yes, that's exactly it. I expected it, Xin Fai was the one who saved our village from famine." Dong Chyou smiled happily, his face was beaming. Xin Fai responded with a happy smile as well, she said softly.
"Hemei, huh? So how's the village doing now?"
"Okay, it's even very good. Thanks to the rice seedlings you gave us now our village has become one of the largest rice-producing villages in the Shang Empire!" Dong Chyou said it.
"Ah, I don't. The one who did it was the village chief and you guys alone."
"Don't be so humble, little brother. You deserve the nickname Hero of Hemei Village. My first brother, he respected you a lot, even repeatedly told me about your figure in our village."
Xin Fai chuckled little not knowing what kind of response to give, he was honestly happy that the village was finally able to return to normal even becoming one of the largest rice-producing villages in the Shang Empire in just under a year.
Li Yong was even more stunned to see all of Xin Fai's previous actions, it was only fitting that when there was a massacre in the village they passed before Xin Fai without a second thought immediately intervened.
One thing was different, now Shen Xuemei's gaze on Xin Fai began to change. The young man's expression was very difficult to guess, but in his glance Xin Fai could feel the sadness behind his shady eyeballs.
Xin Fai was confused to see it, but chose not to ask.
The two fighters rested while telling about their very ambitious village chief working day and night with every effort to restore the state of Hemei village and thanks to the helping hand of the Thousand Feet Army as well, the lives of the villagers began to improve.
Feeling that his help used to have a positive impact on many people Xin Fai increasingly convinced that he was useful. At least, after this Xin Fai had to grow stronger in order to save people's lives more.
Xin Fai's spirit was clearly visible in Li Yong's eyes, he understood what his disciple was feeling.
'It seems I have nothing to fear from his power, with his nature like this, even a thousand demonic hells would not be able to influence him.'
As the afternoon progressed, immigrant birds flew over the sky. After resting the body, the two fighters returned to wearing their cat masks. They chatted for a while before leaving to continue their journey.
The same thing was done by Li Yong, he got ready to pack the luggage and made sure no one was left behind.
But Li Yong's face gradually worse when he saw the change in the face of one of his students. Huang Kun's health had recently gotten worse, his face was much paler than usual.
"Kun'er, are you okay?"
"No need to worry, Senior. The student is fine."
But after saying that his body was tottering to the side, Xin Fai caught him reflex.
"The body is very hot." Xin Fai ended up being anxious as well after sticking her hand on Huang Kun's forehead. While Shen Xuemei did not give any response, they thought for a moment.
"The trip to the next city still takes three days, we can't get medicine in this place." Li Yong cursed himself for not carrying fever medicine.
"Then we have to postpone the trip until Huang Kun recovers," the advice from Shen Xuemei was completely useless.
"We can't wait, Mei'er. We must arrive in Renwu City before the tournament begins. You guys could have missed the tournament later," Li Yong's advice made sense as well, Shen Xuemei was looking for another way.
"I'm sorry... Because of me you guys have to be in trouble like this..." Huang Kun was very sorry, he cursed himself for being too weak. In a position resting on Xin Fai, Huang Kun could only ponder his fate.
Huang Kun was laid down in a comfortable place, the longer his body temperature increased. Making Li Yong panic, he poured energy into his student's body to cure him but the method was not at all powerful to deal with natural diseases like this.
"How's this? We can't let Kun'er keep getting sick like this."
Li Yong's anxiety was not without cause, this time the situation was much worse even Huang Kun to shiver. The priest had already lit a nearby bonfire, but Huang Kun's body temperature was still rising.
Xin Fai exhaled softly, she circled around and found a forest located not far from where they were.
"Senior, I'll look for medicinal herbs for her, it might take a while. During that time please take care of Senior Huang."
Li Yong disapproved of it, Xin Fai was still too small to face the jungle alone.
"Senior, I've already bet my life on the Cursed Forest. No need to worry about me, Senior Huang's condition is much more concerning."
Hearing the name of the Cursed Forest, Li Yong was aghast. A flash of his head guessed at the meaning of Xin Fai's words but the person he was thinking about had moved away at high speed.
"Cursed Forest? Don't-don't he... He's a little boy who's said to have killed that rat demon king?"
The sky was already night again but Li Yong found no signs of Xin Fai coming, the sound of crickets made his mood even more gripping. The man was pacing around in front of the campfire and thought the current Xin Fai was in danger, he again intended to catch up with his disciple but could not just leave Shen Xuemei and Huang Kun here.
"Currently... I went so wrong like this," Li Yong nodded his nose weakly, his head had been sick from thinking hard.
"Mei'er, can you take care of Huang Kun for a moment? I want to make sure Xin Fai is okay there."
"It seems like Senior's worry is not necessary, should Xin Fai be blocked by a savage beast, he also has a more savage beast with him." Shen Xuemei immediately recalled Lang's power that could slaughter many Blood Demon Humans before.
Eventually Li Yong decided to wait for a while but the longer his mood got worse, even though Lang was with Xin Fai but was in the jungle like that it was certain that there would be many other beasts or demon beasts ready to kill his disciple.
Li Yong's worries actually proved to be true, in another place Xin Fai stopped when he sensed something was approaching him from a distance.
The creeping sound and hissing sound made Xin Fai turn around to find a snake demon figure following him.
The snake's tongue came out, it was very long in size and Xin Fai felt it was extremely poisonous.
Seeing the snake demon, Xin Fai was actually about to call Lang but just like the wolf said before. Xin Fai couldn't call Lang if she didn't really need it, if she could clean it up herself then Xin Fai would have to. Depending on Lang's strength won't make him grow either.
Xin Fai drew the sword with a gold engraving, his eyebrows met with a movement ready to fight. While the snake demon hissed again.
"You... Shhsttt... You're not human?"
Xin Fai was almost surprised to hear the snake demon speak, compared to the rat king demon that could not speak human language, this snake demon must have lived for thousands of years.
