Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Breaking into a Cold Sweat

“Let this be a lesson to you, don’t be too arrogant when you’re in someone else’s house,” Xuexue stood with her hands on her hips, facing Butcher Yu fearlessly. Who did he think he was, ganging up with Auntie Sun to frame her, and now daring to bully her at her own doorstep? The audacity.

She had been reborn not long ago and had not yet gained strength. Give her a year or so to cultivate her powers from various sources, and killing him would be no issue at all.

“Ah…! You idiots, why aren’t you getting this damned woman and bringing her to me already, tie her up and bring her back to Yu family village,” Butcher Yu wailed, yet he didn’t forget to bark orders even through his pain.

The strong men finally snapped back to reality, having been paid silver by Butcher Yu for this job. Standing on the sidelines as mere spectators wasn’t quite right.

So, the strong men rolled up their sleeves and slowly began to encircle Xuexue, vowing to capture her and carry her off in a sedan to the Yu family village.

Xuexue had kicked Butcher Yu and frightened Madam Xie out of her wits. For a moment, she even forgot to tell Xuexue to run away.

A major incident had occurred at the old residence, and naturally, the surrounding villagers gathered to witness the commotion.

Chuner and Xiao Gougou sat innocently under a distant tree, each enjoying pork lard cakes, one after another.

“Chuner, why are there so many people around your house? Did something happen?” Xiao Gougou, glancing over by chance, noticed a dense crowd surrounding the old residence.

“Oh no, something’s happened,” Chuner looked up, quickly set her pork lard cake in Xiao Gougou’s lap, and sprang to her feet to run.

“Chuner, where are you going?” Seeing that Chuner was running in the opposite direction of the old residence, Xiao Gougou called out after her.

“I’m going to find Uncle Village Chief.”

Chuner’s voice carried back from afar. The clever little girl knew something serious had happened at her home since it had attracted such a crowd. Without a second thought, she took off running towards the Village Chief’s house.

As the five strong men bore down on her with menacing intent, Xuexue’s heart raced. Her modest Kung Fu skills were likely no match for them. She wished she had thought to bring Big Bull along.

Glancing around, she noticed the ax usually used for chopping wood not far off. She dashed over and grabbed it tightly in her hands.

“Don’t come any closer, or I’ll chop you to pieces,” Xuexue threatened with the ax in hand. Although she had some Kung Fu skills, the odds of facing so many were overwhelming, and her heart wasn’t truly in it.

Having witnessed her ferocity before, two of the men hesitated, their steps faltering.

“Scarface, Zhu Gan, are you kidding me? Scared off by a little girl? You call that courage?” Three others laughed as they saw their companions stall, taunting them.

“Who’s… who’s scared? It’s… It’s just that we moved a little too slowly,” they retorted, unwilling to admit they were afraid of a little girl, as that would be too embarrassing.

“That’s more like it. Now come on, do you really think she’ll chop us? She’s just a girl.”

With that, Scarface and Zhu Gan felt reassured and hurried to catch up.

Seeing them closing in, Xuexue steeled her resolve, closed her eyes and, wielding the ax, charged: “Ahh…! I’ll show you bullies a lesson, I’ll kill you!”

Caught off guard by Xuexue’s desperate boldness, the men scattered, trying to evade her swings.

“Idiots, complete idiots! She’s armed, why didn’t you grab weapons too? Are you all dumb?” Butcher Yu cursed them loudly in frustration.

Upon hearing that, the men finally realized their mistake and turned around to look for weapons.
