Chapter 54 Friendly Ishimura
Chapter 54: The Friendly Stone Village
Inside Stone Village, the villagers were warm and simple, and they were quite friendly to the arrival of the two.
Lin Fan even cleaned himself up thoroughly, changing his previous disheveled appearance. With his sword-like brows and starry eyes, he looked radiant, extraordinary, and refined.
Yue Chan was the same. Being a very clean person, she had been covered in dust and grime all day, which was incredibly uncomfortable for her.
She specifically cleaned herself and did some simple adornments. Dressed in white, she was ethereal, dignified, and pure. Her features were exquisite, and her skin was like congealed fat, resembling a little elf who had descended to the human world.
When she pushed open the door and walked out, it was a striking sight. If one didn't look closely, it would be hard to imagine that she was the same Cinderella who had just entered the village.
“What a delicate child, so fresh and lively, just different from us,” an auntie praised, a sincere smile on her face.
The white-haired elder, Shi Yunfeng, was also surprised. Although he knew the two were extraordinary, upon seeing them now, he still underestimated them. These were truly two divine children!
Lin Fan chuckled and quickly blended in with them, being especially amiable.
As for Yue Chan, she couldn't resist the aunties' enthusiasm, which made her blush slightly, but she still responded with a charming smile, being graceful and not arrogant.
“Oh, where did this fatty come from?”
Suddenly, an untimely voice sounded, immediately plunging the lively atmosphere into silence.
A child of about four years old was standing not far away, observing. His small face was fair and tender, as cute as a porcelain doll, and quite unique.
At this moment, the old village chief Shi Yunfeng quickly stepped forward and reprimanded, “Xiao Budian, don’t talk nonsense. They are not fat at all.”
“Grandpa Village Chief, that big sister is clearly very fat, and her skin isn’t healthy. It’s not a normal complexion, and it doesn’t have explosive… Wuwuwu!”
Shi Yunfeng quickly covered Xiao Budian’s mouth, preventing him from continuing to speak, and awkwardly explained, “Cough… Don’t misunderstand. Xiao Budian means to praise you for being very beautiful.”
Yue Chan rolled her eyes, her forehead covered in black lines. This child definitely had a problem with his eyesight, comparable to a certain someone.
Lin Fan didn't mind and remained kind. After all, a child's aesthetic sense was always problematic. In his opinion, only those with bronze skin and a physique as strong as a female leopard in the village were beautiful.
At night, the hospitable Stone Village was filled with singing and dancing. The golden alligator was roasted and put into the pot. Everyone sat in the courtyard, entertaining the guests from afar.
During this time, Shi Yunfeng stroked his beard and asked casually, “How did you two get here?”
“We were training, traversing the entire Great Wilderness, and it’s been a long time since we encountered any place with people,” Lin Fan replied, continuously eating large mouthfuls of meat.
Beside him, there was also a little foodie, devouring food heartily and eating a lot. Even when choked, he still managed to force it down, not wasting a single bit.
Finally, Xiao Budian drank a can of beast milk in large gulps before recovering. He said innocently, “Big brother, you are so amazing! You dared to cross the Great Wilderness directly! Grandpa Village Chief told me it’s very dangerous outside.”
“It’s precisely because there’s danger that it can have a tempering effect,” Lin Fan said with a smile, occasionally scratching Xiao Budian’s head and face, showing great interest.
One must know, this was the human max-level cub, Huang Tian Emperor. If he wasn't bullied now, there would be no chance later. It was very memorable.
“Wuwu… Big brother, don’t scratch my face! I still need to eat, otherwise, the fatty sister will eat it all…” Xiao Budian’s big eyes rolled around as he grumbled, reaching out to grab the meat on the table.
Upon hearing this, Yue Chan froze, her face completely darkened. She shouted, “You little brat, you really need to get your eyes checked! I’m beautiful, not fat at all, okay?”
The next moment, unable to contain her anger, she quickly swept away the delicacies on the table, giving Xiao Budian no chance.
However, this left Xiao Budian stunned. To think that in the village, no one could out-eat him, yet today he was defeated by an outsider, a fat woman.
Especially the other person's stomach, which had always been flat, was like a bottomless pit that could never be filled. This made Xiao Budian sulk in frustration.
“Hahahaha…” Immediately, it caused a group of people to burst into laughter, seeing their little food king suffer a setback for the first time.
Yue Chan chuckled, feeling much more relaxed, sweeping away days of fatigue. Her beautiful face showed an indescribable sense of ease.
Shi Yunfeng smiled. He could now confirm that the two children indeed had no ill intentions; they were merely disciples of some great Family undergoing training here.
In the past, in the Great Wilderness, such situations had occurred, but it was rare to see them without experts accompanying them. This also showed the extraordinary nature of the two and their undoubtedly astonishing backgrounds.
Immediately after, the annoyed Xiao Budian reluctantly took another big gulp of beast milk. After finishing, he still licked his lips, as if not having had enough.
“What a baby, still drinking milk at this age, shame on you!” Yue Chan covered her mouth, secretly amused, and mocked.
Xiao Budian was greatly embarrassed, his face as red as a monkey's bottom, but he still stretched his neck and retorted, “Don’t people outside the Great Wilderness drink milk?”
“Sister, I was weaned at six months old. After that, I drank spiritual spring water and ate spiritual fruits. Who’s like you, still not weaned at four years old? It’s too embarrassing,” Yue Chan wrinkled her delicate nose, looking very disgusted.
“Hahaha, don’t listen to her nonsense. Who says you can’t drink milk when you’re older? I didn’t even have milk to drink when I was little,” Lin Fan laughed loudly, lightly pinching Xiao Budian’s tender little face.
However, instead of comforting him, Lin Fan's words made Xiao Budian even more depressed. Wasn't that just saying that only he had been drinking milk since he was little?
Finally, he fled in embarrassment, but he kept clinging to his milk can, refusing to let go, which made everyone's faces twitch and left them both amused and exasperated.
The bright moon hung high, and stars twinkled. The banquet lasted until midnight before finally ending. People gradually dispersed, and Stone Village quieted down.
“Your room has been prepared. It’s the largest stone house over there,” Shi Yunfeng stood up, pointing to the largest stone house on the left.
Yue Chan’s skin was lustrous and white, glowing faintly under the moonlight, like a divine lotus. Standing gracefully, she asked, “Is there only one room?”
“Aren’t you two a couple?” Shi Yunfeng asked, puzzled. He remembered the boy had always called her “wife,” and he thought they were already married.
Although they looked very young, only about ten years old on the surface, with the girl slightly older, in a cruel and precarious world like the Great Wilderness, early marriage and childbearing were very common.
Because no one knew when they would die, having offspring early became a common understanding, and elders would usually urge them.
“You’ve misunderstood, elder. We only have a marriage engagement; we’re not married yet,” Yue Chan explained, glaring at Lin Fan, who was secretly chuckling.
Unbeknownst to her, she had already tacitly accepted their relationship, unlike her initial avoidance and rejection. It seemed she didn't dislike each other.
“Oh, I see. Then I’m afraid the young man will have to sleep at my place,” Shi Yunfeng said, looking as if he had just understood.
As soon as Yue Chan entered the room, Lin Fan could no longer hold back, laughing heartily, his face filled with happiness and schadenfreude.
“I can’t wait to see your expression when you learn the truth…”
Seeing this, Shi Yunfeng, being an experienced person, immediately realized that the boy was hiding something from the young girl.
“Just tricking isn’t enough. You need to know how to seize the opportunity, express your true feelings, and touch her heart…” The old man winked meaningfully.
Lin Fan instantly understood, raised an eyebrow, and smiled, “You’re truly not proper, elder…”
