Chapter 181: A surprise?
With a shiver Peng knelt on the ground, he hit his head several times on the ground, and began to beg.
” Noo, it’s n-not like that, I was just too surprised since everyone was saying you are dead. P-Please forgive me. ”
Jayden’s heart melted as he looked at the poor figure in front of him, if someone begged him like that he really couldn’t get angry. With a loud sigh, he said:
” Fine, seeing your sincerity I won’t punish you. And you don’t have to play with other men for a whole week, do as you please with your servant,” he said pointing at Haiyan’s husband.
Peng felt ecstatic, he profusely thanked Jayden and glared at his servant menacingly, as Jayden walked away, he heard loud screams coming from behind him.
Jayden decided to meet the village chief, so he headed towards the hall where he stayed most of the time. Within a few minutes, Jayden stood in front of a big hall.
Two men were laughing and chatting as they made their way into the hall, but just before entering their eyes landed on a man who was standing right outside the door.
” Is that Wang Jin? ” the first man wondered, as he squinted his eyes.
” It can’t be, wasn’t he dead? ” the other man said and then turned to look at Jayden’s face. His eyes widened in shock, he instantly recognised Jayden, since there was no one as handsome as him in their village.
” Wang Jin, is that you? ” the second man asked.
” Yes, it’s me. ” Jayden replied, without looking at them.
” You are still alive, what a great news. The leader would be happy to see you. ” the first man said, as he forced himself to appear cheerful.
*KNOCK* *KNOCK*
They knocked on the gate and waited for a response to come, then a hoarse voice sounded from inside.
” You can enter. ”
The leader has just been discussing the result of one of the search party they have sent to look for Wang Jin, but he was disappointed after they didn’t find anything.
As the door opened he looked ahead with a frown, and then he saw two of his men enter, just as he was about to question about their search result, he saw Jayden entering the hall behind them.
His eyes widened as he stood up, staring at him, the leader demanded answers:
” Wang Jin, where have you been? ”
” I found a secluded place and have been cultivating, after a break through I have returned. I wanted to inform someone about it, but previously everyone seemed too occupied with the beast’s attack. ” Jayden spewed out gibberish.
The leader heaved a sigh of relief after finding that neither had Wang Jin died nor had he run away. As he calmed himself down, his heart was again filled with joy.
” Great, I’ve already prepared the beast’s cores, you think you can start creating the array? ” he asked.
” Of course, I’ll start working as soon as I get the cores, and believe me you would be completely satisfied with the result. ” Jayden assured.
” Good good, I trust you. ” he said, then turning to one of his men, he spoke: ” Give Wang Jin all the beast’s cores we have prepared. ”
His subordinate immediately followed the orders and hurried to bring the cores out. After a couple of moments, one of the men brought a spatial ring and handed it to Jayden.
Jayden checked the content and was satisfied with the quantity of the cores, he then placed the ring in his pocket under the envious gazes of everyone.
” Is that enough? We can gather more if you need more. ” the leader said in a cheerful tone.
” I can start with these, you could gather more in the meantime, having extra won’t hurt. ” Jayden responded.
The rest of the men looked at Jayden with envy, inside the ring there was almost an half a year’s worth of their beast’s cores. They could only watch as Jayden walked away with the ring.
” Leader, are you sure we can hand such a large treasure to him just like that? ” one of the men asked.
” Don’t worry, he can’t run away even if he wants to, I’ll have some people keep an eye on him. ” the leader said with a solemn expression.
He was even aware of what Jayden was doing with his wife, but didn’t said anything since Jayden’s talent was too precious to him.
***
The cores in Jayden’s hand were useless to him now, with his cultivation at the 1st stage of the Spirit Strengthening realm, the energy in the cores was insignificant to him.
Eleanor and the others would have no use to them either since the energy in Damuda’s world is quite concentrated, so it was useless for them too.
” I guess I’ll give it to Mulan and the rest of the women in this village. ” Jayden muttered and began to walk towards the women’s association.
…
Inside the women’s association, the atmosphere was very depressing, all the women stood silently with various thoughts running through their minds.
” Leader, had Wang Jin really died? ” Haiyan asked, looking at Mulan with a sad expression.
” I don’t know, it’s already been three days and there is no news of him. ” Mulan said, her tone sounded worried.
Everyone still remembered the last time they saw him, even though he looked weak and exhausted, his eyes were still fierce and he looked handsome.
His last words lingered in their minds, they had been waiting for him the next day but he couldn’t be found anywhere. With a loud sigh, everyone in the room again fell silent.
*KNOCK* *KNOCK*
Just then they heard a knock on the door, Mulan thought it was just a member of their group and asked one of the women to open the gate.
” Ning, open the gate. ” the woman named Ning followed her order and opened the gate.
But what they saw surprised all of them, it wasn’t any woman but a man. He stood there at the gate with an angry expression, as his eyes passed over all the women in the crowd.
Then he looked at Ning, he knew why his wife have been so eager to go to the women association hall recently, at first he was afraid of Wang Jin as he heard what he had done to the other man who was beating his own wife and also came to the hall to bring her back.
But now that Jayden was nowhere to be found, he became more confident and decided to teach his wife who is the man of the house.
” Ning, get back to the house, I’ve tolerated you long enough. ” He shouted at his wife.
Ning shivered under his piercing gaze, although he wasn’t abusing her physically much since he barely came to the house and spent most of the time outside flirting and sleeping with other women.
” I-I’ll be there soon. ” She said, Ning didn’t like him disrespecting her in front of all the women. But she was too afraid to refute him openly.
” Bitch, didn’t you hear what I just said, get back to the house and prepare the food for me. ” He shouted again.
