Chapter 16

It was a village not too large, the man introduced it as **Ray Blanca. ◇↓

After arriving, Zheng Chen glanced at the most prominent giant windmill in the village. Due to the large building in front of the windmill blocking the wind, there was no chance for the windmill to turn at all.

The entire village appeared unusually desolate, with hardly anyone in sight.

In the evening, the middle-aged man was quite热情, preparing a very sumptuous dinner. Not only that, he also received another group of people...

"Hehehe! Why don't you run!!" Xisika's face showed a particularly fierce and angry sneer due to her unvented anger.

Zheng Chen indeed did not expect them to arrive here in this manner, "Eat."

He said to the blue-haired girl indifferently, completely ignoring Xisika, who was so angry that she almost pulled out her weapon, "I'll kill you!!"

However, Zheng Chen paid no attention to her threats and continued eating his food. His eating speed was very fast, quickly stunning Xisika. She couldn't help but look at Qiya, whose eating speed and hunger state were almost on par with her own!

"Finish eating and go to rest, don't talk to them much."

After saying this, Zheng Chen left the room and sat atop the windmill that had stopped turning, gazing at the distant building. A strand of metal on his fingertip kept changing shape. After the metal thread disappeared, Zheng Chen touched his right arm. Under the powerful effect of the medicine, the swelling and pain had disappeared, leaving only the wound.

"Cough, that, we are members of the Holy War Angel Full Protection Association..."

"Uh-huh."

Seeing him put down his bowl and chopsticks, stand up, and leave, Xisika's smiling face froze.

"Pfft... Haha! Ignored, huh." Kude couldn't help but laugh, but then, seeing the gun pointed at his forehead and Xisika's dark expression, he started to sweat, "Cough, how could a cute girl like her be among the treasures we stole?"

"Hmph, didn't you steal a large chest? She is the Holy War Angel sleeping inside it." Xisika huffed, putting away her weapon as Kude submitted.

"Large chest? I secretly checked the treasure vault, and there was no chest like the one you mentioned." Kude scratched his head, a bit puzzled and skeptical.

"Uh... Maybe you just didn't notice it." Xisika said vaguely, inwardly sighing with relief and confirming something. The item was supposed to be taken by the Red Lynx Air Pirate Gang, but it was intercepted by someone else.

Kude shouldn't know about this for now.

"Also, isn't she a Holy War Angel too? Why are you so concerned about that girl?"

"Well, let me explain a bit." Xisika cleared her throat, "She is the Seven Radiant Treasure Tree, the most valuable among the Holy War Angels, and there are only seven clans in the world."

"Seven Radiant Treasure Tree?"

"Exactly, they have even greater power than other Holy War Angels, and their abilities are also very excellent. The girl is of the final bloodline of the Mizalans clan!"

Seeing Kude's stunned expression, Xisika nodded in satisfaction, thinking he was impressed.

"Although I don't understand what you're saying... it sounds impressive."

"It's just that you're ignorant! Country bumpkin!" Xisika glanced at Kude disdainfully, feeling her words had been wasted, "In short, treat her as a noble... no, a royal among the Holy War Angels."

"Oh, I see!" Kude slapped his hand, suddenly understanding, "By the way, I still don't know what you guys do!"

"Hmph, we are professional personnel dedicated to protecting Holy War Angels! That Holy War Angel is very powerful and belongs to the type of Holy War Angel with the danger of being unable to control their own powerful abilities, so it is necessary and essential to bring her back to headquarters for protection."

"...Is that so?" Kude was a bit skeptical, "If she has such great power, won't you use her power when you take her away?"

"Hey! We are not that sinister! The Holy War Angels we bring back will live comfortably, and we won't force them."

"Tch, even if you say that, can the Holy War Angels leave if they want to?" Kude was dismissive.

Xisika was slightly taken aback, then shook her head, "In general, yes, but for that Holy War Angel... her power is too dangerous."

"Just say she's under house arrest." Kude sneered.

Zheng Chen, who had left, soon returned. He glanced indifferently at Xisika and the others, then walked towards the bedroom where the blue-haired girl had entered. Xisika, who was leisurely drinking water, immediately widened her eyes and spat out all the water she had just swallowed!

She quickly ran in front of Zheng Chen, stretching out her arms to block the bedroom door, staring at him warily, "What do you want!?"

"Rest."

"You don't need to go in there! You're not that familiar with each other!" Xisika said sternly.

"It's none of your business, move aside." A hint of impatience flashed in Zheng Chen's eyes as he pushed the small girl aside. The moment they made contact, a glint of malice flashed in Xisika's eyes. Her cloak fell to the ground, and without the weight of the equipment, she grabbed Zheng Chen's arm with both hands, wrapping herself around him like a python.

Being petite wasn't a disadvantage; this close combat was very difficult to handle.

Suppressing Zheng Chen's arm, Xisika pressed her legs against his shoulders and tried to pin him down... but instead of pinning him, a burst of strength from him sent her flying, crashing into the wall. Before she hit the ground, a figure quickly rushed to her, grabbing her by the neck and pressing her firmly against the wall!

Their confrontation started abruptly and ended just as quickly.

"Cough! What are you all standing there for... Uh!?" The strength in Zheng Chen's hand suddenly increased, cutting off Xisika's voice.

"Qiya!" Long Wei, seeing the sudden situation, immediately shouted to Qiya beside him. The moment they made contact, Qiya was knocked away by the flying Xisika, rolling on the ground.

!?

Long Wei, regaining his senses, looked in shock at Zheng Chen, who was already in front of him. He barely managed to block, then was kicked away, rolling on the ground, "So fast..."

"Do you want to fight too?" Zheng Chen turned to look at Kude, who had just drawn his spear.

Kude grinned, putting his weapon away, "I'm just a spectator..."

He wanted to fight, but before he could, Zheng Chen had already taken down the three seemingly tough members of the Holy War Angel Protection Association.

"Ouch... that hurts." Qiya rubbed her forehead, which had been hit by Xisika, now in pain. Xisika wasn't in much better shape, "What a violent man."

Zheng Chen glanced at the three on the ground, picked up Xisika's cloak, and opened the door to the bedroom.

The cloak was heavy. After checking it, Zheng Chen was surprised by the number of weapons it contained.

That girl is truly dangerous.

"Rest, I'll be going out again soon." Zheng Chen casually hung the heavy cloak on a hanger, looked at the blue-haired girl's bed, and pulled it to a distance, saying to the blue-haired girl, who was sitting on it uneasily, "It's not safe near the window."

Without waiting for her to respond, he opened the window, glanced outside, and climbed out.

"..."

Zheng Chen, standing on the roof, looked around vigilantly. The host's excessive hospitality made him feel uneasy from start to finish. Moreover, the host had not reappeared since then, and it was unclear what he was doing. There was definitely something wrong with this village.

After observing for a while, Zheng Chen sat quietly on the roof, like a stone statue.

On the other side, Xisika and the others were venting their frustration. This had been a psychological blow to her; a Holy War Angel, along with herself and Long Wei, had been taken down by one person in a single move.

"I'll shoot him if he keeps his distance!!"

Xisika roared, Long Wei, sweating profusely, looked at the furious Xisika, feeling somewhat dejected.

"Right, right, if we had synchronized, the other party would have been beaten up." Qiya patted Long Wei's shoulder, comforting him.

"Uh, but the other party didn't give us the chance." Zheng Chen's reaction was too fast. Just as they were about to synchronize, Qiya was knocked away, leaving no opportunity.

"Can we not talk about this?" Qiya gently pinched Long Wei's chin, her gentle expression instantly turning fierce, "Next time, I'll stand behind you!!"

She was also very frustrated, having been taken down before she could even use her skills.

"And you, is it fun to just watch the scenery!!" Seeing Kude acting like an uninvolved person, Xisika turned her anger on him.

"Hey! What do you mean, I wanted to fight too, but you guys were too useless. I hadn't even moved when you all fell, and I was supposed to go next?" Kude was also annoyed, "You act like you're so great, but you were really weak."

"Don't say that, this place isn't suitable for our skills." Noticing Xisika about to go berserk, Long Wei quickly stepped in to mediate, "In a different place, the result would be different."

As the night grew darker, Zheng Chen, who had been sitting, changed to a crouching position. With the cover of darkness and his elevated position, it was hard for others to notice him. Narrowing his eyes to adapt to the darkness, Zheng Chen suddenly opened them wide—someone was coming...
