Chapter 1004: Chapter 1024: Hopeful Gaze, Heavy Responsibility_1

Lin Chen turned his head, only to see a thick python slithering out from a nearby shop, its slender eyes full of coldness.

Auntie’s face turned pale with fright, and she sat down on the ground hastily, quickly explaining, "Sir, I didn’t say anything bad about the City Lord, I didn’t..."

"Hmph!"

The python slithered over, its green gaze sweeping over Lin Chen and then landing on Nalan Wushuang’s face.

"Such a beautiful woman, giving you to the City Lord would certainly be a great achievement!"

Nalan Wushuang’s eyes turned cold, flash anger within them.

A small demon only at the Golden Core Stage actually wanted to give her, the glorious demon Saintess, to their City Lord as a plaything?

Lin Chen’s lips curved upward slightly, glancing at Nalan Wushuang without a word.

This was a good thing your demon race has done, and it has nothing to do with our Human Clan.

I wonder how you feel as a demon Saintess.

The giant python noticed that the two of them didn’t speak, thinking that they were frightened. After all, they were both so young and didn’t look very powerful.

It was, after all, in the Transformation Stage, equivalent to the human’s Nascent Soul Realm. Subduing two young lads, wouldn’t that be easy?

The cold gaze of the giant python fell on Nalan Wushuang’s face, "If you know what’s good for you, just follow me. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude."

Nalan Wushuang suddenly spoke, "Where to? City Lord’s Mansion?"

The python sneered, "Going to see the City Lord, of course, it’s the City Lord’s Mansion. Don’t worry, with your beauty, as long as you behave and serve the City Lord comfortably, you’ll be rewarded."

Na Nan Wushuang nodded, "Alright, I’ll go with you. You lead the way."

They needed directions anyway, why not take the readily available guide?

The giant python seemed somewhat surprised by Nalan Wushuang’s straightforwardness, coldly laughing, "Good, a smart person. But you’ll have to wait. This old woman dared to badmouth the City Lord behind his back, I need to have an extra meal to show everyone the consequence of speaking ill of the City Lord..."

Auntie, frightened, collapsed on the ground. Lin Chen stepped forward and stood in front of her, calmly saying, "Take us to see the City Lord."

The giant python’s ruthless gaze fell on Lin Chen, "I was just finding you a nuisance. You’ve finally stepped forward, which is good. I’ll kill you first, so this woman won’t be distracted. Eating one person isn’t enough, but eating two should be about right..."

"You sure talk a lot."

Lin Chen casually shaped his hand like a sword, a horizontal sweep unleashed a torrent of Sword Qi, sharp as a blade.

This giant python was already at the Golden Core Stage, so it was spiritually conscious and could understand human language. However, in front of Lin Chen, it was no different from a newborn baby.

Each of Lin Chen’s Sword Bones was a spiritual sword. When a sword chopped down, it released Sword Qi everywhere.

The giant python’s massive head dropped to the ground, its snake eyes still filled with shock and disbelief.

With a casual grab, the giant python’s Monster Core flew into the air and landed in front of Lin Chen.

Lin Chen put the Monster Core in front of Auntie, "Auntie, thank you for your kindness just now. This giant python scared you, so this Monster Core is a small token of apology. You can sell it and have a better life."

Auntie looked at Lin Chen in amazement, not knowing what to do with herself. "You killed the City Lord’s guard, hurry and leave, if they find out, you won’t be able to get away..."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Auntie, how do we get to the City Lord’s Mansion? Don’t worry, we are much more powerful than that Green Wolf City Master. We are here to kill him."

Auntie’s eyes suddenly shone, "Really? That’s great! Ever since they occupied the city, not only did they kill the kind-hearted City Lord and his wife, they also kidnapped many women and killed many people. It’s impossible to live in these days..."

Kind-hearted City Lord and his wife!

It seemed that this couple was indeed good to the people of Xingyuan City, and everyone remembered their kindness.

After learning the location, Lin Chen and Nalan Wushuang continued down the street.

Behind them, countless people peeked out of their houses along the road, casting hopeful eyes at their receding figures.

Lin Chen walked to the end of the street, turned around, and looked at those hopeful eyes, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

those eyes were filled with silent hope.

Lin Chen had never felt so clearly that he was desperately needed and desperately hoped for, as if an invisible responsibility had suddenly fallen on his shoulders at that very moment.

Nalan Wushuang also turned her head and saw this scene.

On the long street, countless ordinary people gazed at her with hope in their eyes.

This caused her heart to experience a strong emotional turmoil.

She had always been high above, focusing on grand ambitions, but suddenly realized that those common people also had strong emotions and needs to survive.

Same was the case for the Human Clan, but would it not also apply to the demon race?

In the age of war, it wasn’t just the Human Clan that faced death, but didn’t thousands among the demon race also die in batches?

Lin Chen turned his head, and met eyes with Nalan Wushuang’s furrowed brows and thoughtful gaze.

Lin Chen did not ask her what she was thinking about, and said lightly, "Let’s go!"
