The raspy-voiced man was stepped on by Wan Zi.

Logically speaking, his position should have been a dream position for many.

But now, he was in no position to savor any of it.

Because with just one step, his head had been stomped into the ground.

Moreover, he distinctly felt his skull crack!

The bandits nearby watched this unfold and gulped nervously.

It wasn’t out of envy, but fear!

This was their Village Chief, the notorious Poison Scorpion Wan Zi!

The title, typically reserved for men, revealed Wan Zi’s ruthless and uncompromising nature in achieving objectives without any scruples.

The mention of their chief’s name would make villages in the vicinity drop to their knees in terror.

Even several other mountain villages would detour around them upon encounter.

Meanwhile, the few bandits who were still breathing in the cell looked out at the others with a bitter smile.

You’re still afraid of the Village Chief?

Do you not know that the man behind her is even more terrifying?!

He’s the real demon!

Lu Xiaobu came over to the raspy-voiced man, squatted down, and looked down at him: "Tell me, who took off my clothes? Did you have a part in it?"

"No! No!" the raspy man hurriedly said, "It was all done by Dapiao! I only took a few things!"

Dapiao, that’s the sandpaper guy.

As he spoke, he pulled out everything he had taken from Lu Xiaobu.

Though he hadn’t seen how terrifying Lu Xiaobu was, he knew that someone who could walk with the Village Chief was not someone he could afford to offend.

At least not right now.

"You’d better be telling the truth." Lu Xiaobu nodded, picking up a phone, a watch, cigarettes, a lighter, and other items.

"It is the truth, it is the truth, Dapiao’s greed is known to everyone, you can ask others." The raspy man echoed.

In reality, it was because he took all the good stuff that Dapiao was resentful and stripped Lu Xiaobu.

After all, the clothes Lu Xiaobu was wearing looked quite valuable too.

Though the style was odd, the material appeared excellent!

However, he certainly wouldn’t mention this.

Lu Xiaobu said nothing more and continued forward.

Finally, he arrived at the main hall.

"Please take a seat."

Wan Zi gestured with her hand.

The hall was of an ancient style, with a scroll at the front displaying four large characters.

It was Chinese, but in an ancient script. Lu Xiaobu couldn’t quite make it out—it seemed like seal script.

Below the plaque were three chairs, one high and two lower.

Wan Zi sat in the highest chair.

Symbolizing her status.

And she invited Lu Xiaobu to sit in one of the side chairs.

Lu Xiaobu sat down.

Or more accurately, he slouched there.

Appearing very casual and relaxed.

"Serve the tea."

Wan Zi, observing this scene, found her suspicions of Lu Xiaobu’s background deepening.

Lu Xiaobu wasn’t concerned about them; instead, he took out a cigarette and extended it toward Wan Zi: "Want one?"

Wan Zi, frowning at the unfamiliar object, shook her head: "No, thank you."

What is this odd thing?

A little stick?

What’s it used for?

Then, she watched as the unidentified man placed this little stick in his mouth.

Finally, he took out something like a lighter and ignited the little stick.

"Nice."

Lu Xiaobu took a drag from the cigarette, and some of his fatigue eased away.

He hadn’t expected this space-crossing to be so potent.

He couldn’t even resist the side effects.

Goodness, if someone else had come, they might have been slaughtered on the spot.

Wan Zi, smelling the pungent air, frowned deeply but didn’t say anything.

The priority was to ascertain this man’s identity.

Only then could she know how to deal with him!

Outside, the bandits watching Lu Xiaobu smoke, seeing the look of comfort he had, all revealed a curious expression.

"What’s that thing?"

"It looks quite enjoyable!"

"Could it be some kind of tonic?"

"Could be!"

"..."

Lu Xiaobu ignored them, smoking and stroking his chin, contemplating his own matters.

The preparation was insufficient!

He should have brought some food and drink.

Look at him now, it felt like when he first crossed to the Water Blue Star and couldn’t even find cola.

"May I ask why you, sir, have come to this place?"

Wan Zi spoke up.

The thing was too stifling!

She really didn’t understand why this man was smoking that little stick!

"Me? Territory grabbing, fighting." Lu Xiaobu casually said, "Oh, right, did you only see me alone?"

He and Lin Feng had come holding onto each other.

Could they have been separated?

"No, it was just you, sir." Wan Zi shook her head.

Grabbing territory? Fighting?

So he fell during a battle!

And judging by his demeanor, he definitely wasn’t inconsequential!

Lu Xiaobu was unaware of her thoughts, otherwise, he’d definitely tell her, that’s called being loaded with style!

"So, sir, where are you from? Do you still have family? I can send someone to inform them!" Wan Zi began to specifically inquire about Lu Xiaobu’s identity.

"Me? From Shimen, still got a hundred thousand Iron Cavalry at home, but you might have a hard time reaching them." Lu Xiaobu casually spoke.

Wan Zi was momentarily stunned upon hearing this.

Shimen?

Where is Shimen?!

And a hundred thousand Iron Cavalry?!

My goodness!

Could this guy be some City Lord’s son?!

Otherwise, how could he have a hundred thousand Iron Cavalry?!

And by saying I can’t inform them, does it mean because of his status, I’d be annihilated before even getting close?

It’s not that she didn’t have doubts, but Lu Xiaobu’s demeanor was truly that of a complete playboy!

Others might not see this demeanor, but as a former City Lord’s daughter, she was all too familiar with it!

Her eyes started flickering.

Should she kidnap him? Or let him go?

Shimen must be a very distant city.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have never heard of it at all.

At such a distance, even if there were a hundred thousand Iron Cavalry, they couldn’t possibly come miles away to target them!

So, if captured, it might indeed fetch a ransom!

Definitely a huge one!

Besides, she hadn’t detected any energy fluctuations from this guy.

Whether injured or whatever.

Evidently, his combat ability should be weak!

Thus, this was their best chance to act!

Her eyes began to flicker wildly, contemplating whether or not to take this risk!

Lu Xiaobu glanced up at Wan Zi, a slight curve forming at the corner of his mouth.

He could somewhat guess what Wan Zi was thinking.

However, let her think all she wants.

No matter how you put it, being brought here rather than left in the wilderness, this place had some degree of kindness toward him.

So how things proceed next depends on her decision.
