As soon as she reached the door, Liu Mazi could be heard scolding her family while hitting them. Angered, she threw down the Grass Rope in her hand, placed her hands on her hips, and began to curse.
After finishing her tirade, she took off her Backpack and placed the Grass Rope, which was dragging the Game Meat, into Songzi's palm. She then grabbed the Crossbow and quiver and walked toward the crowd.
The villagers, seeing that Xia Muxin had no Serpent God behind her, breathed a sigh of relief and parted to make way for her, though they all looked at her with concern.
"Little brat, do you really think I'm afraid of you? You dare to insult my ancestors? Are you tired of living?"
Liu Mazi didn't notice her grabbing the Crossbow; at that moment, he only wanted to give Xia Muxin a good beating. In Daimiao Village, even the village chief Yang Dadong wouldn’t dare speak to him like this. How could he tolerate being shouted at by a mere girl in front of the whole village? After threatening her, he grimaced and raised his club to strike Xia Muxin on the head.
Xia Muxin smirked and swiftly turned to dodge his blow. With quick reflexes, she drew a Bamboo Arrow from her quiver and shot it straight at Liu Mazi's thigh without hesitation.
Since life was unlikely to be peaceful anyway, she might as well strike hard. These bullies wouldn’t learn their lesson without some punishment.
Moreover, the Wang family had dominated Daimiao Village for years, relying not just on connections but also on bullying the weak. With mostly honest villagers around, no one dared to resist. Over time, everyone had gradually accepted this unequal treatment.
If someone took the lead—especially a naive little girl—it might just ignite a spirit of rebellion among the others.
Liu Mazi was hit in the thigh by the Bamboo Arrow. While it didn’t cause any serious injury, it certainly hurt; after all, it had penetrated three inches into his flesh. Blood began to seep through his summer pants.
Most importantly, Xia Muxin had enhanced the arrowhead with special materials.
"Ah... it hurts so much, you scoundrel! I swear I'm going to kill you today."
Liu Mazi first felt a piercing pain in his thigh, and he immediately collapsed to the ground, his body weak and powerless. His eyes shot daggers at Xia Muxin, filled with hatred as he ground his teeth. Just as he tightened his grip on the stick to retaliate, he realized that his entire leg had gone numb, leaving him without any sensation. For a moment, he stared wide-eyed at Xia Muxin, mouth agape, trembling and unable to utter a word.
Seeing this, Wang Shoucai narrowed his fierce eyes and shouted, "Xia Muxin, don't push your luck! There are hundreds of villagers here today. You openly captured the Serpent God and attacked Aunt Cousin. Now you're acting so arrogantly! I kindly invited the Taoist priests to exorcise evil for you, and instead of being grateful, you used dark energy to harm my servant."
Xia Muxin's cold gaze swept over the dazed and terrified Liu Mazi before meeting Wang Shoucai's eyes. Calmly putting away her crossbow, she spoke:
"Everyone here can see that this was all in self-defense. My Xia Family has always acted justly in Daimiao Village and has never done anything immoral. It's not up to outsiders to meddle in our affairs. Besides, our Daimiao Village belongs to Tianli Kingdom; when did our country change its surname to Wang?" After finishing her words, she raised an eyebrow coldly at Wang Shoucai.
Her veiled remarks immediately caused Wang Shoucai to break into a cold sweat and left all the villagers deep in thought.
