First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!

Lu Ding hadn’t even stepped up yet.

Lei Xiao, cursing up a storm with filthy language, charged forward instead.

That posture.

Downright intimidating.

Blazing lightning radiance, carrying an aura of destruction, wildly savage... wait, furiously rampant, it was divine punishment, and also human might!!!

That Huang Chang summoned black clouds, raised black mist, spewed black smoke, with sparks among them, forming pillars that charged forth in slaughter.

The two attacks collided.

BOOM!!!!!!!

A muffled thunderclap!!!The terrifying shockwave that spread outward was about to annihilate those innocent villagers living at Guan Family Grave when...

Huang Chang calmed down and shouted, ”No!!!”

At that moment.

Lu Ding made his move!!

[Heart-Plucking Moon-Grabbing Hand] controlled the situation, restraining the force, containing the scope of impact.

One strike of [Human King’s Loose Hands] came down, like smothering a flame, directly pressing the combat shockwaves around the two into nothing!!!

Huang Chang breathed a sigh of relief.

His gaze toward Lu Ding even carried goodwill!!

”Alright, stop fighting, if there’s something to say, let’s talk it out properly. I don’t even know you!!”

Huang Chang had just shouted this. Although he had a bad temper, Lu Ding’s act of containing the battle’s shockwaves had earned his favor, at least he hadn’t harmed his villagers.

But the next second.

Lu Ding arrived via [Celestial Shift], appearing before Huang Chang, raising his arm and hand, bang, one palm!!!

A precision kill!!!

Though it seemed unremarkable in power, in truth, it clanged right through!

Striking his chest, Huang Chang’s back exploded open.

His entire body was instantly blasted flying.

Crashing into that pile of chaotic graves.

”*Cough cough cough cough*... *gag*... *gag*...”

Intense pain, accompanied by the agony of being unable to draw breath, left Huang Chang unable even to cry out.

His eyes stared fixedly at Lu Ding, filled with confusion and rage.

He had thought Lu Ding was a good person, or that there was some misunderstanding, which was why he had stopped. Yet he’d been ambushed!!!

After all, Lu Ding had just saved his villagers.

Who would have thought he’d actually make a move against him.

Lu Ding flew down.

”One thing at a time. They’re innocent, so I saved them. You’re not innocent, so I hit you.”

Huang Chang gasped heavily several times. Stripped of his black smoke protection, his true appearance was revealed, exactly who Lu Ding was targeting.

After catching his breath, Huang Chang said, ”I... I’m not innocent? What did I even do? Did I provoke you?”

Lei Xiao overheard and chimed in, ”Oh wow? You’re cursing people, are you? Did I provoke you!!”

”Brother Lu, he’s cursing you!”

Huang Chang hurriedly explained, ”Who... who cursed anyone!?”

Lei Xiao shot him a look, then turned her head back: ”Bitch, you dare lie? I think you cursed someone, and I’ll twist your head off!!”

Her lightning-charged hands reached out.

Listening to this, Lu Ding also felt that Lei Xiao’s temper was, shall we say, quite something.

Of course, that was only natural.

Setting aside the influence of her years roaming Demon Province, a child born into such a family was either extremely self-deprecating, or, through extremes producing the opposite, focused entirely on never internalizing conflict, but rather tormenting others. Clearly, Lei Xiao was the latter.

Lu Ding spoke up: ”Hold on.”

Lei Xiao stopped.

Lu Ding scanned his surroundings, at the many gazes watching from afar.

He grabbed Huang Chang and whisked him away, with Lei Xiao following, until they reached a scenic spot with mountains and water.

Lu Ding dropped him and said, ”Do you have any last words? Say them. Considering you did do some good deeds, I can grant you the chance to leave last words.”

Doing evil wasn’t really Lu Ding’s concern. There were too many bad people in this world. He couldn’t manage them all. If he saw it, he might lend a hand, but he wouldn’t play the saint.

But doing good.

If Lu Ding saw it, he would appreciate it.

Rather, he appreciated everyone who did good deeds.

Huang Chang began to understand. He knew that Lu Ding couldn’t bear to kill him in front of those villagers who were born different from others.

So he had brought him here.

Huang Chang spoke: ”I want to ask, exactly how have I offended you people?”

Lei Xiao was curious too.

Lu Ding said slowly, ”You want to rebel against Lü Mountain?”

Huang Chang was startled: ”You’re someone from Lü Mountain!? Impossible! Although I’ve never seen Lü Mountain people in person, I’ve seen their portraits, I know what to expect. How could you possibly be from Lü Mountain!?”

Lu Ding: ”I have no obligation to explain myself to you. I’m only answering your question.”

Huang Chang paused for a moment: ”Why can’t I rebel!!!?”

His emotions were somewhat agitated.

But then he calmed down again: ”They promised me.”

”If I helped rebel against Lü Mountain, after it was done, they would give me a utopian paradise, where I and my villagers could live out our lives in peace.”

Lu Ding listened: ”Only temptation with rewards, no coercion with threats?”

Huang Chang looked at him: ”Hmph, I don’t need you to give me a single chance. A man answers for his own deeds. If I rebel, I rebel, so what? In a world like this, who can’t be rebelled against!!”

”Why should people like us, the heaven-crippled, have to live in such a world!”

”What I rebel against is Lü Mountain, but not just Lü Mountain!!!”

Lu Ding sighed.

This guy really...

He gave him a chance, but he wouldn’t take it.

”Who are ’they’?”

Huang Chang glanced at him sideways: ”Are you insulting me?”

”Do you think I’m the kind of person who would sell out others?”

”Hahahahahahahahah........”

”Don’t you look down on me, Huang Chang!”

”Kill me or slice me, just do it!!!!”

”Asking these questions, you underestimate me!”

”Though I was born disabled, I, Huang Chang, am not inferior to anyone!”

He was quite stubborn.

Lei Xiao delivered a slap right away, smack!!!

”Who do you think you’re talking to? Try running that mouth at Brother Lu again, you little bastard. Do you think we’re giving you face?”

Huang Chang, having been slapped, slowly turned his head: ”A woman of the household, spewing filth, pitiful, lamentable!!!”

Lei Xiao bristled again and charged forward: ”I’ll woman your daddy!!!! You won’t talk, huh? In a bit, I’ll take every single one of those people from before and...”

Before she could finish.

Lu Ding grabbed her and pulled her back, shouting, ”Hey... you can’t do that.”

Only then did Lei Xiao fall silent.

If not for Lu Ding holding her back, she had plenty of methods. She was also someone who, if not brought into the fold, was destined to run rampant without restraint.

Lu Ding raised his hand: ”I’ll arrange for them to go to Wushuang City, to receive benefits from the Han Embassy, to stay in welfare homes. From now on they’ll have clothes to wear, food to eat, and they’ll survive. But it certainly won’t be as good as living under your care.”

Hearing this.

Huang Chang respectfully rose, straightened his attire, then knelt back down and kowtowed loudly to Lu Ding.

Then he resumed that arrogant, unruly demeanor from before.

”Hmph, do it!”

The [Way of the Jinche] slashed through.

Watching the figure, head separated from body.

Lu Ding did not extract his Spiritual Energy.

He really couldn’t quite judge this Huang Chang.

Not even strong.

Yet had such a big ego.

Lu Ding could have handled him with ease, yet he still rebelled against Lü Mountain. With such mediocre skills, he should have just minded his own business.

Daydreaming about all sorts of things, and still so damn stubborn.

But let’s be fair.

Faced with someone like this.

Even though Lu Ding knew there was a hidden threat from ’them,’ it was difficult for him to resort to torture or do anything terrible to such a person.
