Old Man Hu was so angry his teeth itched, and Second Master Huang rolled up his sleeves, ready to teach this tactless fat aunt a lesson.
The village had been peaceful for over a decade. Some people had grown too accustomed to their comfortable lives, forgetting they were the weaker party in this world. This was a dangerous mindset.
But the Wandering Hero stepped in front of them, his eyes clearly signaling them not to do anything rash.
"You... you truly won't let him come out and apologize to me?" Sifueromo's mouth contorted into a slightly ferocious grin.
A scrawny, yellow-haired man grabbed the woman's clothes, trying to signal her to stop causing trouble, only to be shoved to the ground by her.
The villagers around them exchanged glances and subtly moved further away from the fat aunt, not wanting to be splattered with blood.
Old Man Hu gave the Wandering Hero a few dry laughs, "Actually, this woman recently married into our village..."
But the fat aunt still hadn't realized the situation was amiss. She had spent a few years out in the world and had always been an arrogant and overbearing sort.
Huang Laoqi, a villager, had always struggled to find a wife. After this fat aunt 'married down,' he became utterly devoted to her, which only fueled her恶劣 (ê liè - wicked/vile) disposition.
She had spoiled her child to no end, and the villagers, knowing the situation with Huang Laoqi's family, had always indulged the fat aunt to some extent, leading her to believe she held some sway in the village.
When she had been out adventuring, she had heard of Xun Ying's reputation, and since this small village was under Xun Ying's protection, she dared to be so嚣张 (xiāo zhāng - arrogant/brazen) towards Sifueromo and his group.
After all, as long as she didn't leave the village, these demon hunters couldn't do anything to her.
"I definitely won't hand over my child. If you want an apology, come in and hit me!"
"See, I'm out." The fat aunt leaped nimbly out of the village's bounds. Sifueromo moved, and she leaped back in.
"Alas, I'm back inside. Come and hit me then, anyone can."
She was in a state of wild tantrum, basically disregarding everything. It didn't matter who spoke up.
Only such a mother could raise a spoiled brat who would throw feces in the street.
The fat aunt hopped back and forth across the boundary, a smug expression on her face. Sifueromo and the others turned ashen. Old Man Hu extended his sharp claws, and six or seven long tails thrashed wildly behind him. He was prepared to execute the fat woman on the spot.
"I'm out again, and I'm going back..."
To everyone's astonishment, the fat aunt didn't jump back. Instead, she flew diagonally upwards, her face contorted in terror, her voice like a sow's shriek, her mouth agape wide enough to swallow a pig in three bites.
Of course, she wasn't flying out on her own. As she prepared to jump back, an irresistible, powerful suction force came from diagonally above. This force made her body uncontrollable and sent her flying up the hillside.
The source of the suction was a man with small eyes wearing a black trench coat. The trench coat man's gaze towards her held a hint of excitement, making the fat aunt's scalp tingle.
She then saw a fist growing larger and larger before her eyes, directly hitting her eye socket.
Following that, the man shouted in a chuunibyo fashion, "Gui Wu Dao. Xia Ji. Ba Chong Luan Da. Ji Zhi Ruo Hua Ban!" (诡武道.霞极.八重乱打.极致弱化版!)
"Ora ora ora ora!"
Innumerable fist shadows transformed into streaks of flowing light. The phantom fists caused colorful radiance to appear around them.
After a combo, the fat aunt's body swelled by a circumference, and she fell to the ground, then rolled down the mountain. Occasionally, she would bounce a few times after hitting a rock, extremely bouncy.
After finishing the beating, Wen Wen felt refreshed. He stretched his wrists and said to Tao Qingqing beside him, "I've always wanted to try calling out attack names while fighting. It's definitely much more satisfying than saying nothing."
Then, Wen Wen tapped his toes and leaped into the space between the two groups who were confronting each other. He said with a hint of embarrassment, "It took me quite some time to find this place. As soon as I arrived, I heard this aunt saying to let someone come and hit her. I couldn't hold back and acted directly. Is that alright?"
Tao Qingqing rolled her eyes. She had only left the team for a few minutes, wanting to summon Wen Wen. When she returned, she found that this group had once again been led by Sifueromo to God knows where. She searched for a while before finally finding this small village.
"No problem, no problem, well done!"
Old Man Hu clapped his hands in praise. If Wen Wen hadn't intervened suddenly, the situation might have escalated to the point where they would have had to kill the fat aunt to resolve it.
They didn't have many clansmen, so the fewer deaths, the better.
After a brief chat, the fat aunt rolled down the mountain and landed right in the center of everyone.
Sifueromo and the other tourists exchanged glances, revealing grim smiles. They rushed to the fat aunt's side and delivered heavy blows. When Wen Wen had beaten her, the fat aunt was elliptical; now, she had become spherical.
However, the fat aunt was not human, after all. Even after being beaten to such an extent, she still had a breath left, which was considered Sifueromo and the others giving Old Man Hu some face.
Although the fat aunt was detestable, Old Man Hu and the other five elders had conducted themselves with propriety. Thus, they also gave the other villagers of Wuxian Village some face.
With the troublemaking fat aunt incapacitated, the situation became simpler. The spoiled child apologized to Sifueromo, and then Old Man Hu invited the tour group to stay in the village for two days.
Since the trip to the Polar Aquarium had fallen through, Sifueromo rearranged the remaining two days of his trip in Baimashan Province to be entirely spent in Wuxian Village.
Wuxian Village was divided into five parts, each with its own characteristics. The fox demon village was filled with handsome men and beautiful women, and most of them, like Hu Youling, were insatiably greedy.
However, compared to Hu Youling, the fox demons here generally had some restraint.
The rat demon village had only a few thatched huts, but beneath the ground lay a complex network of underground villages. Although these underground settlements had a peculiar smell, rat demons had a habit of hoarding treasures, so one could often find strange items here.
The yellow immortal village, on the other hand, resembled a celestial dojo, filled with remnants of feudal superstition...
In terms of tourist resources, this place could be considered top-notch. Furthermore, the entire Wuxian Village was very hospitable to the tour groups, or rather, forced to be hospitable.
Under the promotion of Old Man Hu and the other four, the villagers of Wuxian Village prepared plenty of food and drink, pampering the tour group members completely.
After the fat aunt woke up, her face was full of malice. She dared not cause trouble for Wen Wen and the other tourists, so she began to throw a tantrum at her husband.
A person like her would never look for reasons within herself when encountering problems.
If given another day or two, she might have targeted someone weaker in the tourist group.
But at that moment, Second Master Huang, leaning on his cane, walked in, revealing a weasel-like smile to the fat aunt...
