Chapter 960

"Zhang Xiaofei, what are you doing?" Bing 'er questioned him.

Zhang Xiaofei quickly put away the silver and said, "Nothing."

"Nothing."

Bing 'er glared at him and said angrily, "You're robbing people. Don't you know that? They don't even have a home. They're already very pitiful, and you're robbing them."

As she spoke, Bing 'er grabbed Zhang Xiaofei. As a cultivator, Bing' er's strength was very strong. She snatched the silver in a few moves.

"Hmph, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person." Bing 'er was angry. Then, she returned the silver to the refugee.

However, the latter's face was filled with panic. He didn't dare to take the silver.

Zhang Xiaofei saw this and said, "Did you see that? He didn't dare to take it even if you gave it to him. This is the payment for taking refuge."

"Payment? What payment? Why don't I know?"

Zhang Xiaofei was speechless facing Bing 'er's question.

"Bing 'er, don't be angry. This is your Uncle Zhang's idea." At this moment, Zhang Xiaofei's mother walked over from afar.

Then, Zhang Fei also walked over and said, "Yes, this is my idea."

"Why?" Bing 'er looked at the family of three with disappointment.

"Bing 'er, look at them. They're all people who want to take advantage of us. We protect them, but we can't let them eat and live here for free. It's fine if they live here for free, but we can't let them eat for free. Look at how much they've eaten," Zhang Fei said.

Bing 'er looked at Zhang Fei and said word by word, "If they want to eat, they should eat my family's food."

"Bing 'er, you're wrong. Auntie Zhang has to say a few words to you. In the face of a disaster, there's no need to distinguish between your family and mine. Aren't we all family?" Zhang Xiaofei's mother said.

"Family? Fine, then their food will be provided by you. They'll get it from your family." Bing 'er said angrily.

She was just a little girl. She was usually very polite, but today, she was really angry.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaofei's mother's face immediately changed. Her voice was sharp as she said harshly, "Bing-er, what are you saying? You can't do whatever you want just because Zi Chen is living in your house. Besides, Xiaofei was the one who carried Zi Chen back. Xiaofei is also one of his saviors."

If it was anything else, Bing'er wouldn't be angry. But when it came to this, she immediately got angry. She looked at Zhang Xiaofei's mother and said coldly, "Zhang Xiaofei carried Zi Chen back and asked my grandfather for a piece of bull hide as a reward. After that, you took half of it from my house. Zi Chen has nothing to do with you."

"Aiyo, look at you, little girl. How can you speak like that? How can you speak to Aunt Zhang with such an attitude? Why? Do you treat your aunt as your enemy?"

Bing'er was not good with words. She was so angry that her eyes turned red.

"Husband, didn't Bing 'er say that our family's Xiao Fei took the Barbaric Bull's Skin? From what she said, it seems that we are not loyal. Hurry up and give them the Barbaric Bull's Skin money. Otherwise, they will say that our family's Xiao Fei saved people for money," said Zhang Xiao Fei's mother.

Zhang Fei glared at Zhang Xiaofei's mother and scolded, "What does a woman like you know? Why are you still talking here? Get lost."

Then, he said kindly to Bing'er, "Bing-er, don't be angry. Your aunt doesn't know anything. Don't mind her. I'm collecting money here because I don't want to see you and Old Zhang giving without getting anything in return. Here are ten taels of silver. Take it and buy some food when you have time."

Seeing Zhang Fei take out ten taels of silver, Zhang Xiaofei's mother was a little anxious. But Zhang Fei glared at her and scolded, "Wastrel."

Bing'er looked at the ten taels of silver in Zhang Fei's hand. Then, she looked at the other refugees. These refugees had fear on their faces. They were afraid that they would be chased out. To them, life was more precious than money.

She threw down the silver she took from Zhang Xiaofei and said angrily, "Grandfather and I don't care anymore. Since you took the money, you can cook for them in the future. Xiao Bai, let's go."

Saying that, Bing'er ran back to her house. Her face was full of grievances.

"Hmph, if you don't care, then don't care. Do you think we can't afford to care? Just because you are Zi Chen's savior? Don't forget, it was our Xiaofei who carried Zi Chen back. Our Xiaofei is also one of his saviors. If it wasn't for our Xiaofei …"

Looking at Bing'er's back, Zhang Xiaofei's face was full of bitterness.

"Enough, shut up." A loud shout sounded. Zhang Fei turned his head and scolded Zhang Xiaofei, "You wastrel."

Zhang Fei did not finish his words. His eyes widened as he looked in front of him in shock.

Around them, the other villagers' faces were also filled with fear. Next to them, Zhang Xiaofei let out a cry.

Zhang Xiaofei's body suddenly began to shine. The golden light was extremely dazzling. Zhang Xiaofei's mouth opened as if she wanted to say something, but she could not say a word.

The pride and pride on her face had already disappeared and was replaced with fear. She slowly reached out as if she wanted to grab something, but Zhang Fei and Zhang Xiaofei both subconsciously took a few steps back. The fear on their faces was even stronger than the other's.

The golden light on Zhang Xiaofei's body became even more dazzling. In the end, it became so dazzling that the villagers could not open their eyes.

After the golden light reached a limit, it began to shrink. A moment later, the golden light reached a limit that the villagers could bear. When they looked at Zhang Xiaofei again, their expressions were filled with shock.

When the golden light fell, Zhang Xiaofei disappeared and was replaced by a golden person. It was as if she was made of gold and was shining brightly.

A living person had instantly become a golden person. A person made of pure gold. Everyone could not help but think of the words' turn a person into gold '. Their faces were filled with fear.

At this moment, a voice sounded, "Don't you like money? How about I give you a golden person?"

This was Zi Chen's voice. When Zhang Fei and Zhang Xiaofei heard this voice, they instantly woke up. Zhang Xiaofei cried out loudly as tears immediately appeared in his eyes. Then, he threw himself at the golden person.

As for Zhang Fei, his face was pale. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the void. "Lord, please spare me. Please spare me."

In the void, Zi Chen's voice sounded again. "Your greed is the most I have ever seen in my life. Your greed has reached the extreme."

"Lord, we won't dare. We won't dare anymore. Please spare us." Zhang Fei was already terrified to the extreme.

Originally, he did not stop his wife from speaking to Bing 'er with such an attitude. In his opinion, if one played the good cop and the other played the bad cop, they would definitely be able to intimidate this little girl. Moreover, with some money, this matter would naturally be resolved. In the future, there would be an endless stream of money in his hands.

However, he did not expect that the other party would actually leave. She did not want the money.

Zhang Fei's way of thinking was completely based on his own thoughts. In his opinion, everyone would be like him. They would all bend over for money.

However, he was wrong. When Bing 'er gave up the money and left, he knew that he was wrong. Who knew that his wife did not see the seriousness of the matter and even dared to speak harshly. Not only did she speak harshly, she even dared to bring up Zi Chen for saving her life.

Whether Zhang Xiaofei saved Zi Chen or not, Zhang Fei and Madam Zhang were well aware. However, in Madam Zhang's heart, she could completely understand it as giving the other party a few taels of silver to buy the bull's hide. This was equivalent to saving Zi Chen in the first place.

This was purely one-sided self-righteousness. He knew that he was in trouble and wanted to stop it. However, he did not expect that it would be too late.

Zi Chen was furious.

Zi Chen became a cultivator and killed countless people. It was not an exaggeration to say that he killed people like flies. However, he did not do anything to Zhang Fei and his family because in Zi Chen's view, although this family was hateful, they did not deserve to die.

Humans were strange creatures to begin with. Although this family was selfish, they did not do anything outrageous.

However, today, their actions touched Zi Chen's bottom line. There were two points. First, they actually reached out to these refugees in his name. They did not care about their miserable lives and asked for money. Moreover, they kept mentioning that he was their savior. This made Zi Chen extremely unhappy. If they really saved him, he would naturally have nothing to say. However, the truth was that Zi Chen's life was exchanged for by Old Man Zhang's bull's hide.

Second, and most importantly, they made Bing 'er cry. Bing' er was such a pure, kind, and kind-hearted girl. They actually made her cry. Moreover, their words were full of Bing 'er's fault.

In fact, just this point alone was enough.

Zi Chen also relied on his killing intent to kill. Once he had the intent to kill, he would kill.

And it just so happened that Bing 'er, who looked so wronged, made Zi Chen want to kill her.

Zhang Fei's mother became a golden person. Beside her, Zhang Fei was crying and begging for mercy.

Zi Chen's killing intent did not decrease, and he did not pity them. He said in a cold voice, "Don't you like money? Then I'll fulfill your wishes and turn you into money."

After saying this, the two people's bodies shone with a brilliant golden light. Soon, the two of them also became golden people.

The three of them were all made of gold, glittering and dazzling. This was true gold.

Following this, there was a crash as the three golden people collapsed and turned into many gold coins that were as big as copper coins.

Everyone was dumbfounded and felt a chill in their hearts. Even though they saw the gold in front of them, they did not dare to go forward. Instead, they retreated step by step, as if it was not gold but poisonous snakes and scorpions.

At this moment, Old Man Zhang limped over. He walked in front of the three piles of gold and looked at the gold on the ground. He sighed and said, "The evils we bring upon ourselves are the hardest to bear."

After that, he turned his head to look at the refugees and said, "Let's divide up these gold coins."

When Bing 'er returned to the stone house, she was full of grievances. Zi Chen opened his eyes and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Were you bullied?"

"No, I wasn't." Tears finally fell from Bing 'er's eyes.

Zi Chen said, "You're a cultivator now. If anyone bullies you, just beat them up. It's like hunting a wild boar. If you can't kill it in one blow, you can fight for a while. If one doesn't work, you can fight two together."

When he mentioned hunting a wild boar, Bing 'er's face turned red. She could not even beat a Level Six cultivator. Zi Chen was obviously mocking her.

"You're mocking me."

Zi Chen said, "No, I'm praising you. Okay, I'm hungry. Hurry up and make something to eat."

"I'm not hungry. If you want to make something, make it yourself." Bing 'er angrily returned to her room, but soon, a delicious meal was served.

Without Zhang Fei's family, the refugees' lives were much better. Zhang Fei's house was also given to a few women with young children.

Another month passed. Zi Chen's injuries were completely healed, and the fighting in this area had lessened.

It seemed that the chaos in this area had calmed down.

However, the oppressive atmosphere in this area did not lessen. Everyone knew that this was the calm before the storm.
