Chapter 1005: Chapter 977 I Am Not a Good Person
Seeing the people of the Earth Demon Clan suddenly flee from Kalin Village, a group of villagers was utterly baffled.
But in their hearts, they also breathed a sigh of relief.
Because the people of the Earth Demon Clan did not continue to make trouble, they still held onto the hope that as long as they prepared enough food for when the Earth Demon Clan ca next ti, everything should be fine, right?
The Earth Demon Clan has a trait: although their power is inherently strong, their minds are not very sharp.
The villagers hoped in their hearts that when the Earth Demon Clan ca next ti, they could manage to get through it.
“Everyone, go and prepare quickly. This ti, we must prepare enough food; when the Earth Demon Clan cos again, if we are ready, everything should be okay,” the village chief shouted to a group of villagers behind him.
The villagers all nodded in agreent and imdiately resud their busy activities.
Only Cherie seed still sowhat shaken, standing motionless where she was.
“Cherie.” The village chief reached out and patted Cherie’s head, revealing a trace of apology on his aged face, “I’m sorry to have scared you. It’s all my fault for not being a good village chief!”
“Village chief, it’s okay.” Cherie shook her head vigorously and then turned to leave.
For so reason, when the Earth Demon Clan left, Cherie seed to sense a familiar aura.
However, no matter how she searched, she couldn’t find the source of that familiar scent.
After pondering for a mont, Cherie left Kalin Village and ran towards a certain direction.
When Cherie reached the riverbank, she saw Li Chen calmly fishing, as if he knew nothing.
“Cherie, why are you here?” As if just noticing Cherie’s arrival, Li Chen slightly turned his head, smiling at Cherie as he spoke.
“I…” Cherie hesitated for a mont, but finally asked, “Was it you just now?”
“Just now? What just now? I’ve been here fishing all along,” Li Chen smiled and said.
Cherie looked into Li Chen’s eyes, then finally ca to his side and sat down.
“You’re lying,” Cherie said.
Li Chen was startled.
“Brother Cheen, there’s no need to lie to ; I know it was you,” Cherie said softly.
“Since I was young, I’ve been able to read people’s eyes. Human eyes never deceive,” Cherie said as she hugged her knees, looking at Li Chen’s fishing rod.
Li Chen was taken aback, then smiled ruefully.
He hadn’t expected Cherie to have such an ability.
“Actually, I knew, Brother Cheen, you weren’t an ordinary person. Because, ever since you woke up, your expression never changes no matter what happens. You always seem so calm, as if nothing could surprise you.”
Cherie said softly, “You also said that you’re not from here and don’t know why you’re here. I don’t know how others would feel, but if I encountered sothing like this, I would be terrified. But Brother Cheen, in your eyes, I’ve never seen even a trace of such a look.”
“From that ti, I knew you definitely weren’t an ordinary person.”
“Though I don’t know why, I still want to thank you.” Cherie turned her head and gave Li Chen a sweet smile.
Li Chen was stunned again, then fell silent.
“There are so things I don’t want to tell you,” Li Chen shook his head and said, “It’s just that I don’t know how to explain them.”
“Brother Cheen, you…” Seeing Li Chen’s expression, Cherie couldn’t help but worry.
“I know who I am; I know where I’m from,” Li Chen waved his hand, “But I don’t know where this place is, nor how I got here.”
“I only know one thing: I… shouldn’t belong here, not even in this world.”
Li Chen smiled wryly, “You might not understand. But I must tell you, in my world, I have loved ones, family, friends, and brothers. They could all be waiting for . But I don’t know how to go back.”
“Cherie,” Li Chen looked seriously at Cherie, “However, no matter what, you did save . So, I’m very grateful to you, and I want to help you.”
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Cherie’s eyes showed a hint of complexity.
“Lover, huh…”
Cherie bit her lip and said softly, “Brother Cheen, you’re a good person.”
“I’m not a good person,” hearing Cherie’s words, Li Chen shook his head and cast aside the fishing rod in his hand.
Lying on the rocks by the river, Li Chen absentmindedly gazed at the sky that seed as blue, if not bluer, than the one in his world, and said quietly, “In the eyes of many, I might just be a demon.”
“Brother Cheen…”
“Cherie, I’ve killed people,” Li Chen said matter-of-factly, “And not just one or two; I’ve killed many. Even I can’t rember how many people I’ve killed.”
“In my world, many people call demon, call … King of the Netherworld.”
“…King of the Netherworld?” Upon hearing this title, even Cherie was stunned.
Cherie had heard so mythological stories, so she naturally knew what kind of existence the so-called ‘King of the Netherworld’ was.
Shaking her head forcefully to clear her chaotic thoughts, Cherie looked seriously at Li Chen, “No matter what others think, in my eyes, Brother Cheen, you’re a good person!”
“You saved , you saved Kalin Village, you’re Cherie’s great benefactor!” Cherie said loudly.
Li Chen said nothing.
“By the way! Brother Cheen, you should leave here quickly.” Seemingly rembering sothing, Cherie suddenly said.
“The Earth Demon Clan is the most powerful race within a thousand miles. Since they were driven away from Kalin Village this ti, they will surely co back. If they find out that you were involved in what happened before, they definitely won’t let you off!” Cherie said.
Seeing that Li Chen was still unhurried in his deanor, Cherie couldn’t help but feel anxious, “Brother Cheen, I an it! The Earth Demon Clan has many powerful experts; no matter how strong you are, you can’t possibly fight against the entire Earth Demon Clan! Even if you drove them off this ti, they would send even more powerful Earth Demons next ti.”
“Really?” Li Chen said noncommittally.
Seeing Li Chen’s lack of interest, Cherie stopped talking about it. She looked at Li Chen, her eyes showing so complexity.
After comforting Cherie for a while, and promising repeatedly that he would not provoke the Earth Demon Clan again, Cherie finally felt relieved.
Faced with this sowhat stubborn young girl, Li Chen also felt a bit helpless.
It wasn’t until Cherie left that Li Chen returned to the wooden hut and resud his cultivation.
After recklessly mobilizing True Qi this ti, it led to so special discoveries.
Closing his eyes, Li Chen used inner vision to observe his Dantian.
“So it is this thing…”
Seeing the black bead floating above his Dantian, Li Chen’s body involuntarily tensed up.
