Dashing Student

The skepticism from Moon Shadow Village was all within Chen Nan’s expectations.

Therefore, when he heard those mocking words, he didn’t react at all.

In the end, it all depends on the evidence.

However, the people of Huotang Village and Moon Tower Dong Village had been healed by Chen Nan, so when they heard the mocking voices, they immediately glared in anger.

"Who said that? Show yourself if you have the guts!"

"It’s already kind enough that our Elder is willing to help you, yet you still dare to mock him. You’re ungrateful wretches!"

"Elder, let’s just not save them and let them fend for themselves!"

Upon hearing the voices of his own people expressing concern, Chen Nan smiled with contentment.

This is what family is about, standing up for him when others doubt. It was worth saving them before.

However, Chen Nan believed Moon Shadow Village would soon become his people too.

After a short while, all the skepticism and mocking suddenly disappeared.

Because after the little snake bit her, the young girl’s complexion visibly became rosy.

Although she was still thin, with proper care, she would recover.

A moment later, the little snake lifted its head, returned to Chen Nan’s hand, and closed its eyes in satisfaction.

The little girl slowly opened her eyes and saw her mother’s joyful yet worried face, and immediately burst into tears with a "wah."

"Mama!"

This one word made everyone in Moon Shadow Village widen their eyes in shock.

"The Immortal Epidemic was cured just like that?"

"Didn’t even the King Gu fail? Why could he cure it?"

They were both surprised and delighted in their hearts, but recalling their earlier ridicule of Chen Nan, they felt ashamed and all ran to kneel before Chen Nan.

"Elder, we were blind to your greatness before, please don’t hold it against us."

"Yes, we’re willing to work like cattle or horses for you, please save our people!"

"Elder, please forgive us..."

They kneeled together, sincerely submitting to Chen Nan, the outsider.

Noige looked at Chen Nan, a smile forming on his lips, thinking he had indeed not misjudged him.

But a comment from his tribesman just now reminded him.

The Immortal Epidemic, which even the King Gu couldn’t solve, why could Chen Nan solve it? And what was the origin of that little snake?

Seeing the two horns on the little snake’s head, his pupils suddenly contracted, and a terrifying suspicion emerged in his mind.

Could it be that...?

Many things suddenly became clear—why Chen Nan wanted to save them and merge them into Moon Tower Dong Village.

In the end, it was all about making them submit to Chen Nan!

Although the cured girl was weak, she could move a bit. Her mother led her to Chen Nan.

"Little one, this is your benefactor, quickly thank him."

The little girl knelt and kowtowed to Chen Nan, her innocent voice saying, "Thank you, big brother!"

Chen Nan squatted down and helped the little girl to her feet.

"No need to thank me. You’re too weak right now; ask your mother to make you something nutritious."

"Okay, I will."

Having narrowly escaped death, the little girl had become quite sensible and smiled sweetly at Chen Nan.

The other people from Moon Shadow Village also smiled, looking at Chen Nan as if he were a deity.

And these were the feelings Chen Nan wanted to evoke!

The subsequent matters became simpler as patients with the Immortal Epidemic were carried over one by one, totaling eight to nine hundred people, keeping the little snake busy for a full day.

By the next morning, all the patients were finally cured.

The little snake, exhausted, returned to Chen Nan’s hand, nuzzled Chen Nan’s palm, and then went back to rest in Chen Nan’s Dantian.

"Good job, take a good rest."

Chen Nan smiled, looking at all the patients who had been saved, he felt a feeling indescribable in his heart.

Just as he wanted to rest a bit, Chang Qing approached him hesitantly.

Seeing the healed people’s smiles and the scenes of friends and family rejoicing and crying, she seemed to understand Chen Nan a bit.

"Hey, I’m sorry about yesterday, I was too petty."

Seeing the awkward expression, and the wandering eyes of Chang Qing, Chen Nan sighed with a helpless smile.

This woman seemed to grow only in years, sometimes her brain wasn’t even as sharp as A Yin’s.

"It’s okay, I don’t blame you."

Just as a smile appeared on Chang Qing’s face, she heard Chen Nan’s next words.

"However, I’m not planning to go to your village."

Her pretty face immediately fell, and Chang Qing pointed at Chen Nan’s nose, shouting, "You bastard! Idiot! Fool!"

"We agreed on it, why aren’t you going anymore? If you don’t give me a reasonable explanation, I’ll bite you to death!"

Seeing her grit her teeth with determination, Chen Nan had no doubt about her resolve.

"I just thought the price I asked before was too low."

Chang Qing stomped her foot in anger, extremely frustrated by Chen Nan, but in the end, she gritted her teeth and asked, "Then, what do you want? I didn’t realize you were this greedy before."

"It’s simple; I want your village to be like Huotang Village and Moon Shadow Village, to join Moon Tower Dong Village!"

Chen Nan’s words were earth-shattering, leaving Chang Qing frozen in place, and it was a long while before she screamed.

"You’re dreaming!"

"Our Xiu Yun Village has thousands of people, why should we join Moon Tower Dong Village?"

Chen Nan gave a cold laugh, his eyes turned frosty.

"Alright, let’s see how many of your villagers will survive after this Immortal Epidemic."

Chang Qing was suddenly at a loss, her eyes dimming.

Their village had ten or twenty percent of people affected by the Immortal Epidemic, if they waited until the patients died, Xiu Yun Village would only have one or two hundred people left.

So Chen Nan’s words left her with nothing to say.

"Chen Nan, what exactly do you want to do?"

Chen Nan didn’t say a word, just stared straight at Chang Qing, as if thunder was brewing in his deep eyes.

Finally, Chang Qing lowered her head and conceded.

"Okay, I can go back and discuss it with them, but I can’t guarantee success."

Chen Nan nodded, "You can go back and discuss it first, leave us a map, if you don’t agree, I will definitely not take action."

"Chen Nan, don’t push too hard, our village elders have bad tempers, I don’t want to clash with you!"

Chang Qing’s words were earnest, almost pleading.

"I have a bad temper too, do you think if I told the little snake to die, it would die?"

Chen Nan’s light words came with a threat, the meaning was clear.

If anyone dared to use force, he would tell the little snake to die.

Without the little snake, there was no one to cure the Immortal Epidemic.

"Besides, I believe your tribe isn’t the only one with the Immortal Epidemic, there will always be tribes willing to submit to me!"

Still in his light tone, but it made Chang Qing furious.

"Do you want the little snake to be known to everyone..."

At this point, a lightning bolt flashed across her mind, she understood Chen Nan’s gaze.

Chen Nan wanted the little snake to be known to everyone!

"You... you want to rebel?!"
