Jiao Fan and Old Man Tiandi were shocked and terrified at the same time upon hearing the laughter of the Beast in front of them. This was the first time they had ever seen a beast laughed and thus it only made them even more nervous.
"Ah, sorry." Lin Wu said, much to the surprise of everyone.
"The beast can speak?" Someone spoke, unable to believe his ears.
Lin Wu looked around at everyone and understood that his actions must have been way more shocking to them than the appearance of the Temple, perhaps.
"I couldn't help but laugh as I was reminded of something." Lin Wu spoke casually.
His tone was seemed so causal that the cultivators couldn't help but want to say why? But they were able to resist doing that when they looked at Lin Wu's face again. His fangs gleamed like the sharpest of knives, while his crimson red eyes sent chills down their backs.
But that was just the tip of the iceberg, as his voice was far more unnerving. It was strangely distorted, and yet it could be understood at the same time. One thing was for sure, that Lin Wu was speaking the human tongue despite being a beast.
Seeing that the cultivators had all fallen silent, he reckoned he may as well continue with his words. Though he was expecting someone to speak and let him continue his words. Alas! They had better control over themselves.
"As I said, I was laughing because I was reminded of something I heard a long time ago.
And the thing I heard was… No matter how much humans fight and battle among themselves, when the threat greater than them arises, they all unite rather quickly. I only heard that before and I now get to witness it firsthand.
I've got to say… the philosopher who said that was right." Lin Wu said, as he nodded his head in agreement.
'Why's this beast speaking all this?' Was the thought that was in everyone's minds.
They wondered what was its goal in coming here and speaking like this.
"You… what do you want?" Old Man Tiandi built up his courage and finally spoke.
"Oh? Finally, someone speaks! I thought I would have to do an entire one man show by myself, ems… or one worm show to be accurate." Lin Wu said, completely ignoring the old man's words.
The old man was taken aback by Lin Wu's sudden response and flinched a bit.
"Ah, where are my manner… interrupting people. Please do speak," Lin Wu prodded on.
~gulp~
Tiandi swelled his saliva and spoke once more, "I said, why do you want? And why are you here?"
"What do you think would be the most likely reason? Hmm…" Lin Wu replied while tapping the ground with his tail, gesturing.
The Old Man saw this and Jiao Fan understood it too.
"You're… you're here for the temple too?" Old Man Tiandi asked.
"Of course. Why do you think the temple appeared?" Lin Wu replied.
"YOU!! You caused all this." Jiao Fang said, getting angry.
While he would have been fine if this was an involuntary occurrence, but now that he knew that it was Lin Wu behind the destruction of his city, Jiao Fan found it hard to hold back. He would have direly attacked Lin Wu, had it not been for the pressuring aura that was coming from the beasts in front of them.
"Yep," Lin Wu agreed straightway. "It appeared in response to our arrival."
Jiao Fan now didn't know what to do since Lin Wu had admitted to it directly. After thinking for a bit, he had an idea appear in his mind. He didn't know if it would work, but he reckoned in their current situation where they were stuck between a ravine and Sea, this might be the best option.
"You should compensate us." Jiao Fan stated.
Lin Wu raised his brows in response, feeling a bit surprised by Jiao Fan's words. He would have never expected that the man would be wanting to negotiate with him now.
'This just gets more and more interesting, huh…' Lin Wu thought to himself.
He had observed the entire series of events right from when the quake started all the way to the truce that the two leaders had reached. He had seen that this man, Jiao Fan was a decent leader and was actually looking for the betterment of his citizens.
But despite these qualities, Lin Wu had entirely expected the man to either run away or start fighting right away. A negotiation like this was not something any average cultivator would think of when dealing with a beast.
"And how should I compensate you?" Lin Wu asked, wanting to get entertained a bit more.
~gulp~
Everyone watching couldn't help but swallow their saliva as they felt dread in the pit of their stomach. To them, what the mayor was doing was perhaps a mistake.
"Allow us to take a part of the loot from the temple." Jiao Fan replied.
Lin Wu did not answer the man straight away and just kept on staring at him. The longer he looked, the weaker Jiao Fan felt. The pressure exuding from Lin Wu only got stronger with each passing minute.
And just like this, an entire ten minutes passed in silence when no one dared to move even a single step.
"Okay!" Lin Wu spoke.
"I knew it, how would he agree…" Jiao Fan muttered to himself before, "WAIT, WHAT!?" he exclaimed.
"He really agreed?" Old Man Tiandi was also astounded by the answer too.
"If you can, you guys can try to see what you can get from the temple. I will not interfere and you can take whatever." Lin Wu stated.
"Really?" Jiao Fan asked apprehensively.
"Yes, go ahead and try." Lin Wu assured.
Jiao Fan looked at Old Man Tiandi before looking at the rest of the cultivators around him. All of them seemed to be unsure and didn't know if they should proceed or not.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
