Chapter 1287: Chapter 1287

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Just as they were about to say something, the group of people came back. They were cursing. Jiang Ming pulled Xu Chuchu and Chu Wanwan back and hid behind the pile of rocks again.

“I really didn’t expect those thieves to run so fast. I wonder where they are now.”

“No matter what, we have to guard the village chief’s daughter.”

“Chu Wanwan!” One of them said and turned to look in Chu Wanwan’s direction. Then, he exclaimed, “Chu Wanwan is gone!”

He could not help but be stunned. Then, he looked around and said, “She ran away just like that? Where did Chu Wanwan go? How did she leave so quickly?”

The other person gritted his teeth. “If we knew, we wouldn’t have gone out to look for those thieves. I didn’t expect Chu Wanwan to run so fast. I guess no one came to rescue her. She managed to free herself and get out. The most important thing now is to capture Chu Wanwan and bring her back. Let’s go out quickly. I don’t think Chu Wanwan can run far. Moreover, this mansion is so big. She will definitely get lost.”

“That’s right. Let’s go quickly.”

Another person followed.

Then, the group of people pushed open the door and left.

Jiang Ming could not help but laugh.

Fortunately, they encountered this group of stupid people. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for them to leave.

Thinking of this, he waited for the group of people to leave for a while before pulling Chu Wanwan and Xu Chuchu out. Unexpectedly, the group of people did not go far at all. They were even waiting for Jiang Ming and the other two outside the entrance to the mansion.

As soon as they came out, those people pushed open the door and entered. The leader cursed.

“How cunning. If we hadn’t suddenly regained our senses, we would have fallen for your tricks!”

Xu Chuchu did not think much of it. “Do you think you can beat us?” she asked. “What a ridiculous idea.”

They did not expect Xu Chuchu to be so arrogant. Everyone’s eyes widened immediately. Then, they said disdainfully, “Whether we can win or not depends on our strength.”

As they spoke, they stepped forward together. Their figures overlapped as they got into a formation. Then, a huge palm print appeared out of thin air and rushed straight at Jiang Ming and the other two.

Although Xu Chuchu had seen many spells before, this was the first time she had seen such a spell. She could not help but be shocked by it. She was immediately stunned and did not know what to do.

Chu Wanwan was quick to react. She quickly pulled her and said somewhat speechlessly, “Xu Chuchu, what are you doing standing there like a fool? Do you want to die?”

Jiang Ming knew that this spell would be very difficult to counter, so he raised his hand and released a huge wall.

The wall blocked the palm print and then bounced it back.

Those people could not help but be dumbfounded. They watched in a daze as the palm print came toward them and then sent them all flying.

This palm print had used all of their strength. When it was countered, they immediately spat out blood, and their eyes were filled with coldness.

They did not expect Jiang Ming to be so powerful.

One of them gritted his teeth and said, “I know you. You’re the husband of the village chief’s daughter, Jiu Zhu. We thought you were just a pretty boy. We didn’t expect you to be so powerful. If that’s the case, why are you willing to be the husband of this village chief’s daughter? Why don’t you come to our mansion? We’ll give you good food, and we’ll give you better treatment.”

As they said this, they were making plans.

Their treatment was indeed excellent. Jiang Ming should be able to understand and have some idea in his heart.

If he agreed, it would be equivalent to having another helper for their group. Moreover, Xu Chuchu and Chu Wanwan were only two weak women. They would definitely not be able to defeat them.

Jiang Ming saw through that person’s thoughts and snorted coldly. “You wish. I will never betray the village. As for you, you actually dared to hurt the village chief’s daughter. You are simply audacious. You deserve to die.”

As he spoke, he directly soared into the sky and released a huge spiritual energy bomb.

The spiritual energy bomb was extremely powerful. It was instantly shot out by him. Those people hurriedly circulated their spiritual energy, and one by one, they gathered together and became a formation again.

A huge protective barrier appeared around the formation. However, no matter what they did, they were unable to block the spiritual energy bomb.

A moment later, the barrier was shattered by the spiritual energy bomb, and they were scattered again.

This time, they felt weak all over and in extreme pain. They even felt as if their limbs did not belong to them anymore.

One of them could not help but exclaim, “What exactly did Jiu Zhu do to us? It’s just a spell. Why did it make our entire bodies feel like they’re crippled?”

Jiang Ming smiled and said, “You deserve it. You deserve to be punished for treating the village chief’s daughter like this. You’re just reaping what you sowed.”

One of them could not help but feel indignant. He clenched his fists and said, “Nonsense. This is the punishment she should have received. Everyone within a hundred miles hates this village chief’s daughter. If this village chief’s daughter dies, there might be a crowd cheering and clapping.”

“How is that possible?” Chu Wanwan felt wronged and quickly said, “The village has made a lot of contributions to the people. How can the people cheer if I die? What are you talking about?”

Then, she felt that this was definitely not the case and rolled her eyes.

Unexpectedly, the man said, “Think about what you’ve done. You’re arrogant and rude. You’ve used the power of the village to shout at your people. How can everyone not hate you? I think you should reflect on yourself.”

That person also rolled his eyes and then ignored Chu Wanwan. He turned to Jiang Ming and said, “Jiu Zhu, you saved Chu Wanwan this time and sided with the village. When the time comes, you will definitely be the one to suffer. That village chief is not a good person at all. He is not worthy of being your master!”

“Then I’m afraid you’re wrong. He’s not my master, but my father-in-law.”

Jiang Ming smiled faintly, completely ignoring the words of the person in front of him.

“Exactly,” Chu Wanwan quickly said. “You don’t even know Jiu Zhu’s identity. You’re obviously insulting Jiu Zhu. In the future, when my father passes away, this village will belong to Jiang Ming. In other words, he will be the future village chief. You are not allowed to speak to him like that.”

Unexpectedly, that person sneered and said,” How could the village chief allow an outsider to take his position? Sooner or later, he will kill you. Jiu Zhu, don’t let your imagination run wild here. You know best what kind of person he is.”

Jiang Ming could not help but frown.

This person was really annoying. It was better to just kill him.
