“Look what you’ve done!”

“For such a small demon, you’ve destroyed so many houses. Where are we going to stay tonight?”

“Cheng Ping, you can’t be like this!”

“Yeah, every time you kill a demon, it’s like this. If you keep this up, we will all end up living on the streets.”

“Yeah, yeah, you should be more careful with your surroundings when you act, try to restrain yourself. If you keep destroying things like this, our years of hard work would have been for nothing.”

The youth who had just transformed back into human form, draped in rough cloth, covered his body and looked down at a bawling child in his arms. People from all around complained and blamed him in overlapping tones, with a buzzing sound that was as annoying as a swarm of flies.

“Have you said enough?”

The teenager, who looked like any ordinary person, once again had a layer of red shining in his eyes under the stimulation of all the weird noises, as if flames were burning.

Due to the sinister aura suddenly released by the young man, all the people around him, whose residences or other things had been destroyed, or just those who had come to watch the excitement, were struck dumb and speechless.

“You think I’ve caused too much destruction? Next time, when a demon intrudes into our town, you solve it yourselves. Don’t bother me.”

The teenager enunciated every word clearly. His words shocked the complaining crowd, and a look of terror gradually spread across their faces.

However, quite a few people still didn’t realise the problem. Their impression of the handsome young man still stuck in the past.

“Cheng Ping, what are you talking about? Look at this demon, with this huge head. We, with our puny arms and legs, wouldn’t stand a chance. Even if all of us went up against it, we wouldn’t be enough for it to gnaw on.”

Someone stirred up the crowd, poking at the half-burned weasel corpse with a tool in their hand. Even though the creature was smaller than a human, there was still an inevitable sense of awe in their eyes.

Even though it was only half a corpse, their respect for the creature’s brutal remains surpassed that for the youth who had reduced it to this state.

Because it was a demon that was beyond their comprehension, a monster that would indeed eat human flesh and drink human blood, and wouldn’t show mercy when it attacked.

“Yeah, you can’t leave us be!”

“We understand that you’re saving people, but you can’t do it like this, you have to consider our feelings.”

Some people realised that something was different about the young man today, compared to their past perception of him. They wanted to pacify him, but some didn’t care about this at all. Believing they had seen through the boy’s nature, they couldn’t help but rebuke him.

“We treat you well, how can you say such things?”

“Exactly, you eat our food, drink our water, enjoying lavish meals every day. Our houses have been destroyed by you. What’s wrong with saying a few words to you? Are you listening?”

It seemed as if they were infuriated by the youth’s response. Rebukes and accusations came from all directions, yet the youth didn’t believe he had done anything wrong.

He was clearly aware of this. He was fundamentally different from these ordinary people, and he didn’t need to care about their emotions.

The courtyard was bombed into a hole? The mud wall was knocked down? The roof was broken?

Compared to one’s life, which was more important?

Before he came to this small town, what kind of life had the residents, who had lost the protection of their gods, been living? After he agreed to protect them, what were their lives like?

Ungrateful! Overreaching!

He had personally experienced and felt human greed and baseness. Those seemingly kind-hearted people, after gaining temporary peace, would quibble over trifles and even take advantage of his weakness.

A sharp teeth-shinging sound echoed.

Flames burst from beneath the young man’s feet, and he, who had just transformed into a human, turned back into a fearsome and hideous, yet naturally authoritative, demon.

The huge stature of the demon, perhaps after absorbing the soul of the small demon, seemed to have grown taller. The many people who had come into close contact with the demon were once again silenced by his overwhelming and intimidating appearance, and couldn’t help but retreat.

After all, such a figure was extremely oppressive for them. With just a move of his hand or a stomp of his foot, the demon could crush a large number of them.

“What do you think I am?”

The demon slightly leaned forward and looked down at the many ordinary people who were showing signs of panic and fear for the first time.

“Do you think you’re hiring a thug? A bodyguard? A security guard? Do you think you’re entitled?”

“Without my protection, what do you think you would be now? Feces? Or quietly rotting corpses in unknown corners? Or zombies who have been stung and spend their days walking around in a daze?”

The demon’s face exhibited a sarcastic and ridiculing expression. Because of the awakening of his bloodline, his appetite was now far beyond that of ordinary people. But these ignorant mortals actually naively thought that by providing him with food, they could equate their status with his, or even trade with him. How ridiculous!

“Starting today, Qingshi Town is my territory. If you choose to obey me, you can stay here. If you don’t want to, I will allow you to leave before sunrise tomorrow.”
