15: Chapter 15 Thorough Consideration! Zhang Qianlu!

If it were someone else.

They wouldn't need to be particularly smart.

Upon hearing those words, they would know what it meant.

They would certainly also understand how to respond.

But after Feng Yifan finished speaking, the other party actually froze there, not uttering a word for a long time.

After a moment, he asked softly, "Mountain God, sir, are you asking me what benefits I have to offer as tribute to you?"

"Tsk, what else?"

Feng Yifan said irritably, "Didn't I just ask you what makes you think you can?"

Just begging with empty words, wanting him to lend a hand and save someone.

"Are all the deities you know this easy to talk to?"

"...Not exactly."

"Heh, well, there you have it?" Feng Yifan said, then couldn't help but remark with feeling, "You're actually named Zhang Qianlü?"

He had just learned not long ago that the youth tied up in the rat's nest by the Demon Ratss was actually named Zhang Qianlü!

"I have to say, your father gave you that name, it's quite meaningful."

A wise man thinks a thousand times, and is bound to make one mistake; a fool thinks a thousand times, and is bound to have one gain.

Naming a child 'Qianlü' (Thousand Considerations) - was it hoping he'd become a wise man, or a fool?

Who knows what Qianlü's father was thinking.

"My name was given by my mother," Zhang Qianlü said. "Mountain God, sir, my mother is skilled in divination and calculation, so of course the name she chose is good."

"...If you're happy with it." Feng Yifan's mouth twitched.

Then he said, "Come on, tell me, why should I save you?"

"I know how to kill these Demon Ratss!" Zhang Qianlü whispered, "If the Mountain Lord is willing to save me, I can certainly help the Mountain Lord eliminate these Demon Ratss, I won't go back on my word."

"Heh heh, do I need your help?" Feng Yifan was tempted, but said, "Besides, it was you who lured them here. You killing them for me would just be atoning for your crime."

Zhang Qianlü opened his mouth, then sighed.

Seeing this, Feng Yifan couldn't help but grin.

Thinking to himself, this kid's brains don't seem very sharp.

And, he's also very gullible.

Before this, he, in his identity as the Mountain God, transmitted his voice to the other party.

In just a few sentences, he had gotten the whole story clear.

Including that the other party came from Xinan County, his family had fallen on hard times and he lived in the Li Residence.

A servant from the Li Residence told him that a group of refugees had arrived outside the city, also surnamed Li, wild and fierce.

These people came into the city to sell wolf pelts; the master kindly bought the unwanted wolf teeth and sold them grain.

Who knew this group would repay kindness with enmity, taking a fancy to the master's sister-in-law, and planning to come and forcibly take her in marriage in a couple of days.

Old Master Li couldn't bear to see his relative suffer and was distressed.

Upon hearing that this group had set up camp as bandits on Little Yao Mountain, this kid Zhang Qianlü came to relieve the Li family's worries.

Relying on some minor skills, he actually managed to lure a horde of Demon Ratss over from the nearby Luoyun Mountain.

But after luring them over, he remembered that he shouldn't believe everything he hears.

He took a look at Little Yao Mountain from afar.

Seeing the Li Clan clearing land, he immediately knew he had gotten it wrong.

So he wanted to drive the rat horde back.

The result, obviously.

The rats, ah, wouldn't listen to reason~

Thus, he got tied up and dunked in a water pit.

If this had been a few days later, this kid would either starve to death or have his flesh rot from soaking in the water!

"What on earth were you thinking, kid?" Feng Yifan couldn't help but ask, "You invited a nest of Demon Ratss over, they've already dug their nest, and only then do you think to verify the facts?"

If he were this nest of Demon Ratss, he wouldn't be willing either.

The meat is right before their eyes, they're about to start the feast, and you say to just break it up?

Who do you think you are!

"I... it was only then that I remembered my mother told me to think things over more when encountering matters, not to easily believe what others say," Zhang Qianlü's face flushed red.

"Mountain Lord, if you don't save me, I won't blame you," he said through gritted teeth. "But you must act quickly and slay these Demon Ratss."

The Demon Ratss scouted the location last night; they will certainly move against the Li Clan in the next couple of days.

"The Demon Rats King has a nest of Louse Gu on it, very powerful. They burrow into people's hearts, turning them into living dead, obeying its commands!"

"When the time comes, they will kill and eat all the old and young of the Li Clan. They will only keep the young people to farm and work, growing grain for them!"

He also sensed the Rat King was planning this, found it too cruel, and remembering his mother's words, feared killing good people by mistake, so he went back to check if those refugees were a gang of villains as the Li family said.

He saw those people clearing land, all holding farming tools, using them skillfully.

There were also many old people and children around, so he knew the Li family had lied to him.

He wanted to come back and drive the Demon Rats horde away.

"Ah! It was also my carelessness," he said quite dejectedly. "I actually failed to notice that the Rat King was a Fourth Grade Spirit Demon!"

His minor skills were useless.

Couldn't win, got caught and tied up.

"Failed to notice, failed to notice!"

"You've failed to notice far too many things!"

"You're so stupid, getting tricked is one thing, but now you're going to implicate others!" Feng Yifan couldn't help but stand up after hearing this, circled on the altar table, and cursed, "If you ask me, you deserve to die!"

For heaven's sake.

Utterly speechless.

In his opinion, this Zhang Qianlü was extremely foolish and ignorant.

Although this guy came to his senses in time and, disregarding his own life, wanted to save the Li Clan.

But who started this affair?

And whose handiwork was it?

If it weren't for the White Bone Ghoul messing with Old Loach, coincidentally making him develop the habit of getting up at night.

If Old Loach hadn't coincidentally gotten up tonight and seen this group of Demon Ratss, the Li Clan would have been in big trouble!

After all, Feng Yifan, this evil god, didn't have the hobby of patrolling his territory.

These past few days he's been busy cultivating, and also urging Li Linfeng to Cultivate; his vigilance of the surroundings was reduced to just paying attention to the wolf pack's movements.

He had no awareness whatsoever of this group of rats that had entered the fringes of Little Yao Mountain.

A horde of Demon Ratss viewing the Li Clan as prey.

Sneaking in, ready to strike at any moment.

Would the Wolf King seize the opportunity and follow?

Just thinking about it is terrifying!

Also, the Rat King is a Fourth Grade Spirit Demon, more powerful than him.

Could the other party also be coveting the Mountain God Plaque?

Feng Yifan ground his back teeth, thinking he might as well ignore Zhang Qianlü and let him die.

Who told him to lure such a huge trouble onto his own turf.

But he calmed down immediately.

"No, can't let this kid off so easily!" Feng Yifan stopped pacing.

Turning back, he transmitted his voice and asked, "Zhang Qianlü, you said you have a way to deal with the Demon Ratss, what is it?"

"My mother taught me to make pills using medicinal herbs," Zhang Qianlü hung his head. "Rats can't resist them when they smell them; they eat them and die. Works every time on Spirit Demons below the Sixth Grade."

He had already made all the pills and buried them nearby.

Originally intended to use them to deal with these Demon Ratss and clean up after the matter was over.

His mother said that when doing things, one must consider them thoroughly.

"...Heh." Feng Yifan scoffed.

You considered things, a little too thoroughly, for heaven's sake!

"Alright then, I'll give you a chance to clean up the mess you made yourself."

He said, "I'll send my subordinate to rescue you. You go with them, retrieve the herbal pills, and kill these rat demons."

"Thank you, Mountain Lord!"

"Don't thank me yet," Feng Yifan said. "Before that, you need to first worship me as your Divine Master, become this god's believer!"

"That is naturally no problem at all!" Zhang Qianlü said without hesitation, "Zhang Qianlü pays his respects to the Mountain Lord! Forgive me for being bound on the ground; the kneeling ceremony will be made up later!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, his expression suddenly changed.

"You... you're not the Mountain God!"

"How... you're an evil god!"
