Why are you forcing me? The witch doctor was no longer pretending. He revealed his darkest and most sinister side. His resentful gaze slowly swept across the villagers. Why are you forcing me? So what if I went to the hospital to treat my illness? Am I to wait for death in this d.a.m.ned backward village?!

Now that things had come to this, he no longer needed to pretend.

Anyway, those people would know he had been to the hospital after they discovered his surgical wound.

He stopped fighting it and simply admitted it.

They couldnt believe that those words were coming from the witch doctors mouth. All the villagers, including the village chief, were stunned.

The witch doctor couldnt be bothered to continue talking to the villagers. He turned to Pei Yao. Hand over the Deity Stone. Otherwise, Ill kill her!

He had always wanted the Deity Stone.

The guardian beast in the temple usually wouldnt attack the people in the village. But once anyone touched the Deity Stone, the beast would attack indiscriminately.

He knew that he was no match for that beast, so he just thought about it and didnt dare to make any moves.

Now, someone else had stolen the Deity Stone.

He just needed to get his hands on it and then leave this village. He could use the Deity Stone to exchange for a large sum of money. He would have a flouris.h.i.+ng future!

With this thought in mind, the witch doctor started to fantasize about his beautiful life in the future.

He didnt believe that this young ladys companions would let her die.

Chi Jiaos back was facing the witch doctor, so he couldnt see her nonchalant expression.

Seeing the corners of Chi Jiaos lips curl up, Pei Yao knew that the witch doctor was in trouble. She cleared her throat and said to him, I advise you to calm down and let go of her. Otherwise

Otherwise, youll be the one to suffer.

However, before Pei Yao could finish her sentence, the witch doctor clicked his tongue impatiently. I say, you women are really full of nonsense. Ill count to ten. Hurry up and hand over the Deity Stone, or Ill really kill her!

He couldnt continue living in this village. If he couldnt get the Deity Stone, he would face a fate worse than death.

Therefore, he might as well take a gamble.

Ten.

Nine.

Eight.

Seven.

Six.

Five.

The witch doctor had just counted to five when Chi Jiao, who was under his control, suddenly moved.

She suddenly raised her hand, her slender and fair fingers pressing gently on the witch doctors arm.

A numb yet painful strange feeling spread across his entire arm. The witch doctors hand loosened and the dagger fell to the ground with a thud.

Immediately after, Chi Jiao grabbed his arm and threw him over her shoulder.

Oh! The witch doctor cried out in pain as his body hit the ground heavily.

But Chi Jiao didnt give him a chance to even catch his breath. She stepped on his wound.

Suddenly, a pig-like squeal came out of the witch doctors mouth.

Ahhh! You stepped on my surgical wound! Hurry, take your foot away! The witch doctor was in so much pain that he felt like he was going to pa.s.s out. His surgical wound was still fresh, and the feeling of having it stepped on was indescribable.

The faint smell of blood came from the witch doctors body. It was enough to prove that Chi Jiao had caused his wound to split open again.

Didnt the doctor arrange for you to rest after the operation? Grandpa, if youre so easily agitated, it wont be good for your recovery.. Chi Jiao smiled at him.
