When he arrived, he saw Sona and the others acting suspiciously; upon spotting him, they scattered and vanished in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Acting all mystical and weird,\" Wang Chong frowned slightly, finding it strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next moment, he noticed several pieces of meat missing from his rack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the missing amount was small compared to the total, he had cut and hung each piece himself, so he knew every single one clearly and spotted the shortage at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it! No wonder those bastards were acting so weird; they actually stole my meat while I was gone. Those little goblin brats are just asking for a beating.\" Wang Chong's forehead veins bulged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not the type to swallow his pride; he always repaid grudges in kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The goblins were camped just behind the small earthen mound, with no defensive measures whatsoever; they had merely gathered some tall grass and slept inside the piles at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Chong did not go straight to confront them; he calmed his mind, ate a quick meal, and sat cross-legged to meditate in the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See? I told you he wouldn't notice,\" Sona said outside the courtyard, peeking out triumphantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big Brother is truly formidable,\" the other goblins hurriedly flattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That guy is just a simpleton. Tomorrow, once he leaves, we'll come back again.\" Sona puffed out his belly, looking like a victorious general, and led the other goblins away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Chong discovered that through cultivation, he could not only increase his strength but also rapidly restore his energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Wang Chong was not in a hurry to enter deep meditation; sitting cross-legged, he began to review the day's battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his mind, the scene of his fight with the cat demon appeared; he dissected every movement, repeating them continuously until he found the flaws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that's how it is.\" After an unknown amount of time, Wang Chong suddenly smiled; he seemed to have figured out a way to deal with the cat demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood up and checked the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's about time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a leap, he vaulted over the fence, his figure weaving through the darkness, and soon reached the earthen mound where the goblins slept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he approached, Wang Chong slowed his steps; none of the goblins noticed his arrival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Truly lazy!\" Wang Chong curled his lips in disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if this was just a temporary dwelling, they should have tidied up a bit since they were staying here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, those goblins ate and defecated right in their den, making the place a mess that reeked of blood and filth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unwilling to linger, Wang Chong walked over, grabbed Sona by the ankle, and dragged him away upside down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who! What are you doing!\" Sona jolted awake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Chong said nothing, simply continuing forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sona struggled frantically, but his strength was too feeble to be of any use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me go! Let me go!\" Sona screamed at the top of his lungs in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other goblins also woke up; seeing their leader captured, they hurriedly followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon realizing it was Wang Chong holding Sona, their hearts sank with guilt, and they dared not approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Chong found a sapling as thick as an arm, tied Sona's feet together, and hung him from the treetop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small tree bent under the weight, swaying up and down with Sona's struggles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad,\" Wang Chong remarked, quite satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sona finally caught on; he wasn't stupid and guessed his meat theft had been exposed, yet his eyes darted as he decided to deny everything until death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord, what are you doing?\" Sona feigned ignorance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think?\" Wang Chong didn't expose him immediately, watching him with an ambiguous smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know!\" Sona insisted stubbornly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you sure?\" Wang Chong sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I really don't know, my lord! It hurts so much; please let me go,\" Sona whined with a tearful face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well,\" Wang Chong nodded slightly. \"Since you don't know, I won't ask you anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Wang Chong turned and walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord, let me go, my lord...\" Sona howled a few times, but seeing Wang Chong completely ignore him, he shifted his gaze to the other goblins nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You bunch of scum! Are you just watching a monkey show? Hurry over here and get me down!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, ah, ah...\" Only then did the goblins react, rushing forward to untie the rope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoosh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a massive sword descended from the sky, embedding itself right in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh no! Run!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terrified, the goblins scrambled away on foot; by the time Sona realized what was happening, they had already vanished without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well? Still haven't remembered?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Wang Chong returned, carrying a bundle of firewood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord, I really don't know... perhaps you could remind me?\" Sona remained stubborn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well, I will remind you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some meat is missing from my courtyard; who do you think took it?\" Wang Chong asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord, your meat is missing? I know! It must have been those scum who stole it. My lord, release me, and I will catch those bastards for you,\" Sona declared with righteous indignation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need for such trouble; it doesn't matter who eats it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a good person! My lord, you are truly wonderful; you are the most generous goblin I have ever seen. My admiration for you could not be expressed even in three days and three nights. Come, let me down so I may worship you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not finished yet,\" Wang Chong said, looking at him teasingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh... please continue, my lord,\" Sona shut his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since they ate my meat, then I shall eat you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Eat me?\" Sona's eyes bulged wide in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without further delay, Wang Chong swiftly placed the firewood beneath Sona's head and lit it ablaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah! Oh my god!...\" Sonar shot upright in terror, clutching his legs with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This movement was extremely difficult for a goblin with such short limbs, yet Sonar managed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body instantly curled into a shrimp, buttocks facing downward; fortunately, he was still some distance from the bonfire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm, not bad; this way the heat distributes evenly,\" Wang Chong said as he walked over and stepped on the tree trunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That small tree began bouncing up and down once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mama!\" Sonar let out a shriek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the small tree bent downward, the flames licked right against Sonar's buttocks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sonar screamed; the tree immediately sprang back up, but before he could catch his breath, it snapped down again, searing his buttocks once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back and forth it went; Sonar truly felt caught between ecstasy and agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It smells so good!\" Several goblins had returned at some point; one of them swallowed hard and suddenly blurted this out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All eyes turned toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah! I won't do it again, I'll never do it again...\" Sonar wet himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Chong had no real intention of killing Sonar; killing over a few pieces of meat was hardly necessary—he merely wished to teach them a lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>",1190,"2026-06-17T08:09:48.015Z",1,"Qwen3.5 397B","9bc6257d16defbe78b47e885f6738d313c55ef2f76a375cd0af8658f1cf15be7","i-am-not-a-goblin-chapter-11","i-am-not-a-goblin-chapter-9",11,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-not-a-goblin-cover.jpg"]
