âKid, show mercy!â
Behind the teen was a white bearded old man that shouted, âPlease be careful, donât hurt my granddaughter.â
I lowered and saw that the girl was like an untamed beast that tried to struggle. She even tried to pull out her dagger to stab me.
âScoff?â
I looked at her and she really was asking for death. I relaxed and she instantly got her freedom back. She turned around and tried to stab me. The dagger was covered in frost and I didnât expect she started to cultivate at such a young age.
Her attack was expected so naturally I wouldnât be hit. I spread my left hand and numerous stars appeared to form Star Shield. Her dagger broke and when the Star Shield was about to recoil onto her, I retracted the skill. The giant shield disappeared and she retreated in shock.
The old man walked over and smacked the back of her head, âYou brat, do you want to die?â
She said, âGrandfather, that person is so fierce why did you hit me?â
The old man said, âYou brat, canât you see that he is showing mercy? If not that strike would have killed you. You really are asking for death!â
I returned Butterfly to its sheath and smiled, âWhy did you shoot me?â
âYou hid in the forest and I thought you were a pig so I shot.â Although her voice was gentle but she still sounded like she was unwilling to admit defeat.
The old man looked at my armor and respect appeared in his eyes, âYoung warrior, you shouldnât be from around here right?â
âEn, I came from Earth Realm.â
âYou are a God King?â
âNot yet.â
He heaved a sigh of relief, âSince you are not, you should understand that the Heaven Realm is the world of the seven God Emperors, you can get wiped out here at any time.â
âI am not afraid, who are you?â I asked.
The old man was shocked and gave a self mocking laugh, âUs? We are hunter slaves.â
âHunter slaves, what is that?â
âThat isâ¦â he was helpless, âThe lowest status humans here, our value is just to farm, hunt, catch fish etc to provide needs for the upper world gods.â
âUpper world?â
I frowned and understood something, âYou are talking about those floating palaces? Those people are Upper world gods?â
âYes.â
He nodded and lowered his voice, âThe ears of the gods spread the entire world. Young Warrior letâs not talk about this here, why not follow me to the village. It is late and many hunters will appear and hunt cultivators that are still out.â
âHunters with God Ancestor strength?â
âRight, they are a bunch of bandits and are ignoring the laws of the three worlds. They hunt experts to strengthen their spiritual powers and donât even let off hunter slaves.â
I didnât expect Heaven Realm to have Hunters too so I nodded, âOkay, I shall follow you.â
The girl looked at me furiously but she didnât say anything disrespectful.
â¦â¦
Although this was my second time here but I didnât know where I was at all so it was better to understand the environment. Anyways I wasnât in a rush to kill Yunqian, doing more homework wasnât a bad thing.
I followed the old man and his girl back to the village. He hunted a deer but he couldnât move it and just dragged it. I couldnât take it and just carried it for him. He smiled while the wariness of the girl was reduced by a lot.
It was dark when we returned to the village and only bits of lamp fire was left.
The old manâs house was simple, it was just a tent with two rooms. One was for the girl and one was his. I was probably going to sleep on the streets today.
I placed the deer on the metal board. This was a fat deer and it had a lot of meat. She looked at the meat and licked her lips, âGrandpa, can we drink deer soup today?â
The old man touched her head and said, âEn, slice its head off and cook soup with it. Then send the corpse to Lizheng as our offering for this month, if not we wonât have any income and our lives would be tough.â
The teen pouted, âDeer head soup again, when can we have a bowl of deer leg soup. We could only eat the head of the possum last time, there was so little meatâ¦â
âLan Kou stop it.â He finally said her name, âWe are just hunter slaves, master gave us a chance to live here, if we donât offer things to the God Emperor, we wonât have a chance to live. Go do it! Let the young warrior help you.â
âOkay.â
The teen held her chopping blade and came to the deerâs side, âBrother pig, do you like deer head soup?â
I laughed, when did I become brother pig? But I still replied, âI do, I am not picky so as long as I am full I wonât ask for much.â
âScoff.â She said, âYou can have it! Let you have some of that disgusting taste! Come, help me slice the head off and give it to Sir Lizheng.â
âEn.â
I didnât take her blade and just pulled out Ganjiang. A light shone and the head fell to the ground. The blood had solidified but there was no blood on Ganjiang at all. I picked up the deer and said, âLan Kou, where is Lizhengâs house, lead the way okay?â
âOkay.â
Lan Kou turned around and grabbed the tail, âI will lead the way.â
After all, she was just a young teen but now she seemed like she was very comfortable with me. When she turned she looked like a maturing teen, her waist, butt and chest were all top quality. Even her face was a real beauty. Even the hunter shirt couldnât cover her looks.
I followed her. On the small path of the village, hunters carried prey. Some had many some had only a few. Some used sticks to carry a mountain boar while some had birds and rabbits hanging by their waists. Without needing to think, those who only managed to get a rabbit on their hunt wouldnât be able to survive much less offer it up.

Not long later, a bright mansion appeared ahead. There were already a few hunters giving their offerings. When it was our turn, the black shirt Lizheng touched his beard and he glanced at Lan Kouâs chest and hips, âLan Kou your grandpa and you have got pretty good gains, you actually managed to kill such a good deer.â
Lan Kou pushed her chest forwards and said, âSir Lizheng, of course. Grandpaâs archery skills are top in the village.â
âHahaha!â
Lizheng was checking the prey and his face turned dark, âLan Kou, why is the head gone? We need a complete deer so it would look good when we barbecue it!â
Lan Kou looked wronged, âGrandpa and I⦠Havenât tasted meat in 2 months, apart from this deer we didnât get anything. Sir Lizheng, let us have some deer meat.â
Lizheng laughed coldly, âEat meat? Did you forget that you are just hunter slaves? Your master is the great Sir Yunyu, do you want to offer him a deer without a head?â
Lan Kou felt even more wronged, âBut⦠I forgot the taste of meatâ¦â
I said, âSir can you be kind, anyways Lan Kouâs family isnât the only one that got a deer.â
âWho are you?â
Lizheng rolled his eyes at me, âLooking at your armor, you should be a cultivator, why are you here?â
Lan Kou pulled my wrist and said, âSir Lizheng, Brother Pig was found by us, he is just lost.â
Lizheng laughed, âJust lost? Come, take this kid down, I want to see what he really wants!â
Two strong guys walked out from behind Lizheng, their hands held axes.
I frowned and pulled out Butterlfy. There was a sharp ring and a golden light covered an area. An invisible pressure descended. Although I wasnât a god but Frost taught me Heaven Control so I could easy fake god strength.
âYou!â
Lizheng was stunned, âYou are a God King?â
I didnât say a word and it was a silent admission.
Lizheng and the two guys knelt down and kowtowed, âPlease forgive us, we didnât know you were a god king, we⦠We donât dare.â
I said calmly, âRise, donât tell anyone about this or I will wipe their souls! I wll take this deer back. Apart from this, Lizheng, no more asking Lan Kou and her grandpa for food and donât provoke them or I will kill you.â
