C62 Purposefully Making Things Difficult!

Facing Liu Yu's question, Zhan Tianming grinned.

"Dogegg, actually, I have long since gotten hold of a demonic beast head. Besides, I've more than one head, enough to open a museum. So, it doesn't matter if I took the heads of all those I killed or not."

"What?" Liu Yu was a little shocked.

'He already has a head?'

'But why I can't see the head anywhere on his body?'

"Let's go, let's go back," Zhan Tianming said as he walked without waiting for Liu Yu.

Liu Yu was a little confused.

"Whatever, I will still carry the beast's corpse back. When the time comes, the villagers will have to believe that it was killed by Tianming."

Without care, Liu Yue carried the Arrowwolf on his back and chased after Zhan Tianming.

The Arrowwolf was not as big as the Three-Tailed Thunderwolf.

Otherwise, Liu Yu wouldn't have been able to carry it alone.

"I say, Dogegg, why are you carrying this?" Zhan Tianming asked in surprise.

"Carrying it back to eat, of course." Liu Yu grinned.

"This won't be tasty, you know," Zhan Tianming said.

"You've eaten it before?" Liu Yu asked.

"Umm..."

Zhan Tianming didn't know how to answer the question. He couldn't tell Liu Yu that the system had already stripped all things of value from the wolf, including its meat. The meat left behind was very unpalatable.

Telling the truth in this situation would bring more trouble than it was worth.

In the end, Zhan Tianming said, "If you don't believe me, you can carry it back for a taste."

"Haha... That's what I'll do!" Liu Yu laughed.

"Then let's carry it together." With that, Zhan Tianming extended his hand out, trying to help.

"No need, I can handle it." Liu Yu waved his hand.

Soon, the duo approached Nanqing Village's entrance.

From afar, someone noticed their arrival.

"Look, isn't that Zhan Tianming? He actually came back alive? And the person beside him, it seems... It's that brat Liu Yu from Old Liu's family who went missing!"

"Eh, it's true."

"So, Dogegg entered the mountain with Zhan Tianming. No wonder we couldn't find him no matter how hard we tried."

"Humph! It's all Zhan Tianming's fault! He actually tricked that brat, Liu Yu, into going to the mountain."

"…"

The angry roars didn't stop.

Zhang Tianming and Liu Yu were too lazy to bother with them.

Everyone's eyes quickly landed on the Arrowwolf on Liu Yu's shoulder.

"Oh my god! Look at what's on Liu Yu's shoulder."

"That... It looks like a demonic beast?"

"No! It doesn't look like one; It is one! And it's a Grade One Demonic Beast at that."

"What? Is that the Arrowwolf?"

The villagers of the Nanqing Village were all shocked.

Grade One Demonic Beast?

Amongst them, many of them had not even seen a ninth-stage Vicious Beast before, let alone a Grade One Demonic Beast.

This news spread like wildfire, spreading across the entire Nanqing Village.

Nanqing Village Plaza:

The entire area was filled with villagers who had rushed over after hearing the news.

Everyone rushed to witness the spectacle.

Liu Yu's parents hugged their son tightly and cried tears of joy.

For some unknown reason, a few other villagers also started crying.

Under the villagers' consolation, Liu Yu's parents finally stopped crying.

As for the no-reason criers, I don't know. Seek your own adventure or something.

Several old people from the village walked onto the square.

They were all wondering: where did the Acting Village Chief, Zhang Yong, run off to?

Even after so many days, there was still no sign of him.

An old man stepped forward and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know the whereabouts of the village chief, so I'll be dealing down the assessment's verdict."

The villagers did not object.

Within the Nanqing Village, Uncle Chen still had quite a bit of prestige.

As he approached the Arrowwolf, he started scrutinizing it.

It was indeed a Grade One Demonic Beast.

It couldn't be faked.

Finally, he turned to Zhan Tianming and asked: "Zhan Tianming, let me ask you, did you beat this Arrowwolf to death?"

"Yes." Zhan Tianming nodded.

"Is there any proof?" Uncle Chen asked again.

Suddenly, Zhan Tianming's eyes widened.

'The fook, Old Fart!'

'What do you mean proof?'

'Can't you see the corpse, the bruises matching my hand, the blood staining my clothes?'

'Damn!'

The oldie was purposefully making things difficult for him.

'This old fart.'

Zhan Tianming was angry in his heart.

Seeing that Zhan Tianming did not answer, Wang Man was the first to shout loudly, "Zhan Tianming, why aren't you talking anymore? Answer him! Haha!!!!!!!! You got this demonic beast carcass by luck, right? You have no proof, right?"

Many villagers felt that this made sense.

"Zhan Tianming, although you brought back a demonic beast corpse, this doesn't prove anything."

"Yes! In my opinion, you picked it by total luck."

"Humph! Lying about killing a demonic beast... He truly is trash!"

"Indeed, trash will always be trash. He actually wants to get away with it?"

"Truly shameless!"

The voices of criticism and doubt continuously rang in the plaza.

Zhan Tianming's gaze trembled slightly.

Suddenly, his gaze landed Wang Man.

"Wang Man, assuming that what you said is the truth, how can I prove that I killed this demonic beast?" Zhan Tianming asked with a slightly gloomy face.

Right now, he was bubbling with anger.

Wang Man grinned. "You've to take out another demonic beast head."

Liu Yu could not watch this charade any longer.

He stood out and roared, "Wang Man, you have gone too far!"

"What do you mean?" Wang Man rolled his eyes at Liu Yu and ridiculed, "Liu Yu, who here doesn't know that your relationship with Zhan Tianming is good? Don't think you can vouch for him. If a single person here says that Zhan Tianming has passed the assessment, we will all accept it."

"No! He hasn't!"

Before Liu Yu could even retort, many expressed their stance.

"He hasn't! Unless Zhan Tianming can take out another head, we wouldn't count this as him clearing the assessment."

"Yes, I think so too."

"Zhan Tianming, if you want to prove yourself, bring out another demonic beast's head."

"…"

Many people agreed to this.

Zhan Tianming nodded his head, feeling a bit sick in his heart.

However, he did let his face reflect his heart.

He just raised his head and looked at Wang Man.

"Wang Man, what if I take out another head?"

"Haha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Wang Man laughed coldly in disdain.

Finally, with disdain on his face, he said, "Zhan Tianming, if you can really bring out another demonic beast head, I'll run 100 laps around the village. I'll be butt naked and yell, 'I'm trash!' the entire time. If you can't take one out, you'll have to do the same. How about that?"

Wang Man sneered as he looked at Zhan Tianming.

He didn't believe that Zhan Tianming could produce another demonic beast head out of thin air.

He sneered in his heart.

'Humph!'

'Zhan Tianming... This time, I'll stomp down all that arrogance you have.'

Wang Man could already picture Zhan Tianming running around the village, butt naked. He felt way too damn good!

"Good! I'll bet with you."

Just as Wang Man was secretly pleased with himself, Zhan Tianming agreed in a whisper.

'You miserable idiot!'

'You want to ruin my reputation, stomp my face down to the ground?'

'I've seen cheap fucks, but you take the crown easily.'

'Wanna bet with this daddy? Then a bet it is.'

'Fight!'

Zhan Tianming was going to slap Wang Wan's face, and he was going to do it hard. In the best-case scenario, Wang Man could never raise his head in public. Remember, this was the best-case scenario.

As his thoughts flashed, Zhan Tianming's gaze turned cold.

"Wang Man, watch carefully."
