Feng Ying's

132 - Punishment of Thieves

After it was already noon, Wang Chen and Feng Ying had finally arrived at another village. Both of them entered a building that was not too big. The building is a small restaurant.

Both ordered food and drinks. In just a few minutes, the two got what they ordered. They also ate it right away. "The food and drinks in this place are pretty good too. Although this restaurant is only a small restaurant, but the food in this place is worth eating." Said Feng Ying.

"Your words sound like an insult, Ying. Don't talk too loud." Wang Chen whispered in a whisper. The customers were currently staring at them intently because of Feng Ying's remark earlier. This restaurant is the only one in this village and this restaurant is a place where very good food for them is served. But Feng Ying instead said 'but this food is worth eating'. The word sounds like saying that the food in this restaurant is very bad and that is backward from other restaurants that are elsewhere.

Feng Ying frowned and looked around, "Did you see see?!"

The customers who were the original inhabitants of this village only stared at Feng Ying a glance furiously. They continued their delayed eating. It is rare for people from other places to visit in this village. Most customers are just locals.

"They're so weird. I'll just say my opinion." Said Feng Ying in a somewhat soft voice.

"Yes, but look around. They become angry at you for your very bright and loud words." Whisper Wang Chen.

Feng Ying shrugged both shoulders unconcernedly, "I don't care about what others think of me. Because the people who run my life are me, not them. Why do I listen to their words? If they don't like me, let them.." He went back to eating. Even now he feels less eager to eat.

Wang Chen sighed, "Freely tell you that." He went back to eating his food quietly. Today, Feng Ying treated him. So Wang Chen doesn't have to pay.

After finishing eating and paying for food, the two went out to walk for a while in this village. They also crossed one of the village points with a wall that had bracelets and chain necklaces attached to the wall. This looked just like when they were exposed to illusions within the world gate.

"Why is this place the same as the illusion back then, Ying?" Whisper Wang Chen.

Feng Ying was confused. There are places like this in the real world too. Feng Ying shrugged both shoulders, "I don't know."

"When it's like this, is it possible that the events within the illusion will happen again?" Said Wang Chen with a difficult look. He obviously did not like the illusion that he saw in the fog that was inside the gate of the world. To him, it was cruel.

Sure enough, not long after Wang Chen said so, there was a commotion of the citizens. Many people saw how someone was being dragged. The neck of the man now has an iron necklace because the citizens who paired it. Both of his hands were like that. His hand was circled by an iron bracelet with a chain embedded in the wall.

When Wang Chen saw it, he was immediately shocked. This incident was the same as the one when it happened in a foggy illusion. A boy who is now being held by the people. All that was different was the face of that child and all the citizens that were in this place. Then the words they spoke were not much different from the point that he saw in the illusion.

The boy was scared and seemed to want to cry. "L-let go.."

Four people walked closer to the boy. They're carrying wooden beams. "Heh, release? Who do you think you are to rule us, huh?"

"You've stolen in this village. Then you should be punished!" Add another one. He looked at the child in front of him.

"Hiks.. I-I just took the bread. That'sthat's all.. I didn't do anything else.." Say the boy with fear. The citizens stared at him sharply, scaring him.

"Heh, 'just' did you say?! Thieves are thieves! No matter how small of an item you take, you still have to be punished! You are a thief! You'll be put to death!"

"Hiks.. L-let me go.. Forgive me.. T-please.. Release.." Said the boy with a voice trembling in fear.

"Dirty! Wicked! It has no right to be forgiven!" Shouts of citizens.

"We're not letting you go!" Said one of the people holding the wooden block. He then looked at the three people who were also holding wooden beams. He gave an aba to immediately hit the boy.

The other three people nodded, "Dirty! Wicked! It has no right to be forgiven!"

The man began beating the thief with a block of wood without regard to the cries of pain and the cries of the boy they were tormenting. "Hiks.. S-sickness.. Unleash it.. Forgive me.. Hicks.."

Wang Chen looked at the boy sadly. "Ying, we have to help him. It might have been an illusion. But now it's different. It's really real! We have to help him!"

"No need to interfere in the affairs of others. Anyway, we don't know him at all. Why do you even want to save him?" Said Feng Ying lazily. He should have been excited to see the torture. But now it's different. He was deeply disturbed by the torture. Not because he felt sorry, but because he did not like the people in this village. They act as if they are the right one.

"No Ying. This time, I can't just stand by watching her being tortured like that!" Said Wang Chen with eyes filled with determination. He was going to run to that place. However, his hand was held back by Feng Ying.

"No need to interfere. Just look and watch. You have to stay here, there's no need to help the boy. It's orders!"

Wang Chen stared at Feng Ying at a glance. He threw Feng Ying in the hand, "Sorry.. This time, I won't do what you want. I don't want to just shut up to see it that way." Wang Chen ran towards the crowd of residents. Meanwhile, Feng Ying simply sighed and let Wang Chen go.

"aagh.. W-who are you?!"

"How dare you stop us!"

The residents looked at Wang Chen furiously. The young man had already messed up their current activities, the young man had messed up the rules that were in effect inside the village.

Wang Chen stood facing the residents. His body covered the residents to look at the thief boy. "I won't let you hurt him more than this!"

The boy was surprised by the presence of Wang Chen who arrived in front of him and helped him. He slightly looked up to look at Wang Chen who was on his back. The boy who was beaten appeared to be injured. On both of his noses was blood, on the corner of his lips as well. Her clothes are very dirty right now. Tears seemed to wash his cheeks. He endured pain due to the treatment of the population on him.

"You shouldn't be so rude to a child like this! You're outrageous!" Said Wang Chen. He stared at the villagers sharply. He did not like their treatment of this child he was protecting.

"Why indeed?! It has become a tradition in this village! You dare to break the traditions and rules of our village!" One of the citizens looked at Wang Chen angrily. He did not care about Wang Chen's sharp gaze that was now directed at him. Because he felt that Wang Chen was the one who had made a riot. While he and the other villagers are innocent of this.

"Heh, what kind of traditions and rules is that?! So outrageous! Traditions and rules are so stupid that you keep them!" Wang Chen snorted in annoyance.

"You..!!" The citizens grew even more furious when they heard Wang Chen's words.

Wang Chen turned around and looked at the boy. He with his hands centered a Qi instantly cut through the iron hanging on the boy's neck and hands.

"How dare you ruin our tradition! You even insulted us!" Said a village chief. He was one of the people holding the wooden block.

"He has no right to be forgiven!"

"He must be punished!" The screams of the people were heard. They wanted Wang Chen to be punished for what the young man did and said.

Wang Chen stomped his feet to the ground as the citizens began to approach towards him and the boy who was with him. "God!"

Stabbb Stabb Stabbb

The bodies of all the ordinary citizens were now pierced by the ice that emerged from the ground. They groan in pain. Before long, they die a horrible death.

Wang Chen fortunately had already closed the eyes of the boy he was carrying so that the boy did not see what was happening.

"Hiks.. It hurts.." Say the boy. He still feels pain.

"I'm sorry I just helped you now.." The Lirih Wang Chen. He could not bear to see this child in his arms hurt like this.

Shortly afterwards, there was the sound of other residents coming from this village. People who have witnessed torture are not all. So, when he heard the sound of screams, the remaining citizens immediately ran towards the direction the sound came from.

Wang Chen looked towards the citizens he killed. He did not feel guilty at all for what he did. Because he felt that everyone had the right to die. "I will take you and heal you. Hold on a second.."

Wang Chen ran towards Feng Ying. He said when he was right in front of the young man, "Ying. We have to leave this village now."

Feng Ying rolled her lazy eyeball, "I told you not to do that. Now you're causing trouble."

Wang Chen lowered his head, "Sorry Ying.. Because you didn't do your orders."

"For now, forget about the problem. We're going." Feng Ying started running away from the village. Wang Chen followed where Feng Ying was running.

***

The remaining citizens were shocked to see their dead men being horribly impaled by chunks of ice emerging from underground. They're looking around to find the perpetrator who did. But the result is nil. They can't find anyone who's done this.

A young man was seen standing on a large tree branch, not far from the village. He stared at the direction where Feng Ying and Wang Chen had gone. "Hm.. Although it did not fit my first plan, but this could be the beginning for me to do it. But before that, I'll have fun first." The corner of his lips lifted.
