Hero Treatment

“Young Master Su, these things…”

Wang Tianan shivered before he found his voice. He subconsciously asked Su Xiaolu.

Su Xiaolu was about to say that she would burn them. After all, their mother was a demon who ate people. If all of these hatched, what would happen? Mantis Shrimp’s cute voice sounded in her sea of consciousness. “Xiaolu, I want to eat these. Although they’re low-level demon beast eggs, a mosquito’s leg is still meat. Can you not despise me for being disgusting?”

Mantis Shrimp hesitated for a while and finally said it. The spiritual energy of the Interface Stones would make it grow up, but the stones didn’t taste good. There might be many demon beasts in this world in the future, but there weren’t many now.

However, this thing looked really disgusting. From the memories passed down by his ancestors, he knew that many humans hated such soft things. They would feel disgusted…

He wanted to eat it, but if Su Xiaolu did not agree, he would forget it.

Su Xiaolu was a little surprised. She asked in her sea of consciousness, “You can eat this?”

Mantis Shrimp replied, “Yes, yes, yes, I can.”

Su Xiaolu was deep in thought. This thing was disgusting. When she placed it in the Space, she felt that she had dirtied it…

She thought for a moment and said, “Don’t let me see you eat. Also, don’t dirty my Space. Can you do that?”

Mantis Shrimp replied repeatedly, “Yes, yes, yes.”

He ate them one by one. He would definitely not waste a single drop.

Su Xiaolu looked at Wang Tianan and said, “I’ll handle it. I’ll burn it clean.”

Wang Tianan had a backbone. “Young Master Su, what do you need?”

“Some oil and firewood. Just send them to the entrance of the cave.”

Su Xiaolu told him. She would put these things into the Space because the Space could not be seen, but she still had to set fire to cover up.

Wang Tianan nodded. “No problem. I’ll go prepare now.”

There was no longer any danger here. It was better to burn this place down as soon as possible. Wang Tianan turned around and left.

Su Xiaolu watched Wang Tianan leave before starting to collect these eggs.

Mantis Shrimp also entered the Space.

Su Xiaolu took one in and he ate it in one bite.

As it ate, there was a crackling sound from the spiritual spring. Mantis Shrimp looked over and saw the carp jumping.

Mantis Shrimp looked at the carp and muttered in confusion, “Do you want to eat it too?”

The carp kept jumping. This was the only carp that survived in Su Xiaolu’s Space. It lived in the Space and was his only companion.

Mantis Shrimp thought for a moment and threw an ant egg into the spiritual spring.

The carp was very happy and sucked it in.

Mantis Shrimp threw two more down and they were all eaten by the carp. After eating three, the carp sank into the spiritual spring.

Did this mean that it didn’t want to eat anymore?

Mantis Shrimp felt that this carp might become a spirit. That made sense. Su Xiaolu’s Space had so much spiritual energy, so it was not impossible for it to become a spirit.

Mantis Shrimp didn’t care much and went back to eating the ant eggs.

Su Xiaolu collected all the ant eggs. There were a thousand of them.

Mantis Shrimp’s voice sounded in her sea of consciousness. “Xiaolu, I’ve finished them all. I’m so full. I’ll sleep first.”

Su Xiaolu let Mantis Shrimp sleep in peace and began to collect Interface Stones to put into the Space.

There was also a layer of Interface Stones at the bottom of the cave. Some of them were just ordinary stones. After Su Xiaolu finished collecting them, she looked around the cave and released a stream of water to explore all the paths. After confirming that she had not missed anything, Su Xiaolu went out.

After waiting outside for a while, Wang Tianan arrived with a few villagers.

Su Xiaolu did not hide anything. She sent all the firewood down with water, including the oil.

She took the torch that Wang Tianan had lit and threw it into the hole. Immediately, flames emerged from the hole.

The few of them retreated above safety.

They watched the flames burning at the entrance of the cave.

A few villagers looked excited. “Good, good.”

“Rumble!”

With a loud bang, the hole collapsed.

Some scorched earth was revealed.

After being burned clean, Su Xiaolu and the others began to return to town.

The commoners seemed to have been waiting for a long time and welcomed them along the path. When they saw Su Xiaolu and the others, they began to say loudly, “Welcome back, Hero Su.”

As for the huge, fat flesh worm, it was tied up by the villagers at the entrance of the town and displayed to the public!

Su Xiaolu was speechless.

She, who had always been generous, was a little shy.

Wang Tianan said to Su Xiaolu excitedly, “Young Master Su, we’ve already prepared good wine and delicacies. Please take a seat.”

This time, the people they sent out successfully went out. Six people went out, and one would return to report if it went smoothly. The people who went out left successfully, and the one who was supposed to come back also returned. Only then did they confirm that the crisis had really been resolved.

“Thank you. I’ll accept it.”

Su Xiaolu cupped her hands at the commoners to thank them for their warm hospitality.

The dark clouds that had lingered above people’s heads dissipated. People’s lives would gradually return to normal, and the grief of losing their loved ones would slowly be soothed over time.

Su Xiaolu felt their simple enthusiasm.

...

Everyone happily ate meat and drank wine. The children finally had smiles on their faces again and could play.

There were also many blushing and bold women who came to confess to Su Xiaolu.

There were more than ten of them, and the woman in the lead said boldly, “Young Master Su, you can choose a woman you like from among us to accompany you.”

Su Xiaolu was drinking and immediately choked. She quickly waved her hand.

“No, no, no. Misses, I’m just a person from the martial world. The four seas are my home. It’s just convenient for me to subdue demons and fiends. It’s enough for everyone to treat me like this. I wish you all a good fate.”

Su Xiaolu became serious. She was dressed as a man, so there was naturally a misunderstanding.

However, she never expected the commoners to offer their daughter to her.

Moreover, they offered to accompany her, not marry her.

Su Xiaolu explained to the women and turned to look for Wang Tianan.

Seeing Su Xiaolu come, Wang Tianan touched his head and asked, “Young Master Su, is there none that you like? I know that the women in Mobei are not as beautiful as the women in the Central Plains.”

Su Xiaolu shook her head and said, “Brother Wang, it’s not that I don’t like them, but I can’t accept such a gift. Women aren’t goods. If you want to thank me, you can give me money.”

...

From Su Xiaolu’s words, Wang Tianan could feel Su Xiaolu’s respect for women. He cupped his hands at Su Xiaolu. “Young Master Su is right. We were foolish.”

After dinner, Su Xiaolu returned to her room to rest.

She decided to stay for two more days before leaving.

The next day, Su Xiaolu woke up. The town had returned to normal, and many shops were opening one after another.

Su Xiaolu found Wang Tianan and confirmed that no one had disappeared last night. She was relieved.
