Chapter 1146: The Village Chief

The village chief's questioning made Shui Linglong very unhappy.

It was the village chief who had sent them in the first place, and they hadn't wanted to go.

The task wasn't accomplished, she felt very disappointed, and now that the village chief was asking this, she naturally felt uncomfortable.

Shui Linglong frowned and said impolitely, "If you don't believe us, let's go again tomorrow."

"Let's go today." The village chief did not notice Shui Linglong's abnormality; he was burning with impatience and wanted to go now.

Shui Linglong became even angrier and walked out with a cold face.

"I'm too tired; I need to rest."

Seeing Shui Linglong's back, the village chief finally realized something; knowing he had said something excessive, he gave an awkward, sheepish smile at Chen Ang and the Peacock Man, telling them to go back and rest, and they would go to the bottom of the cliff to take a look tomorrow.

On the way back, Chen Ang and the Peacock Man remained silent, but their hearts were heavy with many things.

What the village chief said clearly deviated from what they knew.

Inside the palace, they had had a brief exchange with the Demon God.

Shui Linglong had even specifically asked the Demon God, "Are you the Demon God?"

At that time, the Demon God had answered very readily, saying he was indeed the Demon God.

He had already admitted it, yet here at the village chief's, it wasn't him.

It was truly strange.

Moreover, the village chief knew there were demonic snakes at the bottom of the cliff and claimed the demonic snake was the Demon God, so did he not know there were ants at the bottom of the cliff?

This didn't make sense.

The night passed without incident.

Early the next morning, Shui Linglong got up early to call Chen Ang for breakfast.

The two had just sat down when the Peacock Man also walked in.

The three remained silent while eating.

After finishing, Shui Linglong suddenly slammed her chopsticks heavily on the table, staring at the courtyard which still had some mist, her voice carrying a trace of indifference.

"The village chief's words are becoming less and less believable."

"You have an understanding of the Demon Race; do you know what the situation is?"

Shui Linglong looked at the Peacock Man when she spoke.

The Peacock Man immediately shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "I know very little; I know even less about the Demon God, so you don't need to ask me."

Shui Linglong hadn't held much hope for him anyway; hearing his answer, she snorted coldly and turned her gaze back outside the courtyard.

The sun rose slowly, and golden sunlight spilled onto the earth, causing the mist to dissipate and gradually bringing warmth to the room.

The village chief also appeared on the small path not far away.

Seeing the village chief's figure, Shui Linglong's eyebrows twitched, and she turned and went to another room impatiently.

She came out again after a while.

In her hand was a kitchen cleaver.

Seeing her holding a knife and standing there aggressively, Chen Ang and the Peacock Man showed looks of confusion.

But knowing Shui Linglong was in a fit of anger, neither asked.

When the village chief arrived at the door, he saw the cleaver shining brightly in the sunlight and was startled.

Soon, he reacted and said to Shui Linglong with a smile, "Are you going to cook?"

Shui Linglong placed the cleaver on the table coldly and said stiffly, "Aren't you going to follow us back to the bottom of the cliff?"

"I'm preparing a weapon so that if I meet the Demon God, I can kill him."

As she spoke, Shui Linglong gritted her teeth, staring unblinkingly at the village chief, as if she were treating the village chief as the Demon God.

The village chief clearly felt her dissatisfaction with him; he immediately shifted his gaze elsewhere and did not dare to enter the room.

He looked at the Peacock Man and said, "Are you ready? If you're ready, let's set off." ===== CHAPTER 1147 =====
