Rem bowed again to apologize, but Hao Yun waved his hand.
"It's alright, you're lucky you didn't die. Let me help you regulate your spiritual energy."
Hao Yun extended a finger and pressed it against Rem's forehead, gathering the spiritual energy scattered throughout her body.
"Remember how it works, and practice it every day from now on."
"ah?"
Rem looked bewildered with her mouth slightly open, appearing quite adorable.
Hao Yun pinched Rem's chin and brought his face close.
"Guest! What do you want?"
Rem was startled and took a step back, her face flushed as she lowered her head.
"Go home early after you've finished shopping."
Hao Yun glanced at the child who had approached him, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"Are you a maid in the manor? You're so beautiful!"
The children crowded around Rem, who, not being very good at dealing with children, seemed at a loss.
Anyone want some candy?
Hao Yun took out a handful of fruit candies and waved them in front of the children.
"I want to eat, big brother, I want to eat!"
The children were drawn over, and Hao Yun waved to Rem.
"Go buy the things, I'll handle these little guys."
Rem quickly ran into the shop and bought all the supplies the manor needed. When she came out of the shop, she found Hao Yun still playing with the children.
"What a lovely person."
Rem left with a smile, feeling a little envious of how well Hao Yun could get along with the children.
"Brother, my puppy is missing. Can you help me find it?"
A little girl approached Hao Yun, her eyes filled with tears, and gently tugged at Hao Yun's trouser leg.
"Of course, I'll take you there right now."
Hao Yun smiled, picked up the girl, and walked towards the woods outside the village.
The little kids who had gathered around also ran over.
Once outside the village, Hao Yun quickly found the puppy, which was hiding under the fence.
"Little girl, I've found your lost puppy!"
Hao Yun reached out, grabbed the puppy's hind leg, and pulled it out.
A red glint flashed in the puppy's eyes, and it opened its mouth and bit Hao Yun's hand.
Click!
"Waaaaah~"
The puppy cried out in pain as two of its sharp teeth broke off, and blood flowed down its teeth.
"Oh dear! It seems to have injured its teeth. Let me treat them for you."
With a strange smile on his face, Hao Yun pressed the puppy firmly to the ground.
"How pitiful, your teeth are bleeding, it must hurt a lot."
The children gathered around, expressing their sympathy for the puppy.
"It's okay, big brother will heal it soon. Its teeth are all broken, and now I need to pull out the broken teeth so that new teeth can grow."
The little girl who led Hao Yun over spoke from the crowd.
"That's not good, it will hurt a lot!"
Hao Yun smiled faintly and spoke to the children around him.
"You've all lost your teeth before, right? And they all grew back quickly, didn't they?"
A chubby-faced little boy nodded quickly, opened his mouth, pointed to his teeth, and said.
"Yes, I lost these teeth before, but look, they've all grown back now!"
The other children also chimed in.
Hao Yun looked down at the wailing puppy, sneered, and snapped out its tooth with a snap.
You still want to bite me? I'll pull out all your teeth!
"Big brother, you seem to have turned it wrong. That's the broken tooth."
A little girl pointed to the puppy's teeth and asked a question.
"Oops, it's moving around, I accidentally pulled the wrong one, I'm sorry."
Holding the puppy by the neck, Hao Yun squinted his eyes and smiled as he apologized to the puppy.
I'm so angry! I really want to kill this human!
The puppy glared angrily at Hao Yun, wanting to revert to its beast form and bite Hao Yun, the human, to death.
But it soon discovered that the magic within its body was out of control, and it could not return to its original form.
Click!
Another tooth was broken, and the puppy let out a mournful howl.
Hao Yun threw away the teeth in his hand and said to the children around him.
"This puppy is badly injured. I need to take it back to the manor for treatment, and then I'll return it once it's recovered. Is that alright?"
The children nodded in agreement. They all knew that the manor was the lord's territory, and that the lord was a powerful magician.
Hao Yun comes from the manor, so he must be very capable.
The little girl disappeared from the crowd. Hao Yun glanced in the direction she had disappeared and took out a handful of fruit candies, giving them to the children around him.
"Hurry home, everyone. Next time you come, your brother will tell you a story."
"Yay! Goodbye, brother."
The carefree children ran back to the village with their candy in hand.
"Still playing dead?"
Holding the puppy by the scruff of its neck, Hao Yun walked into the forest.
Hao Yun stopped after walking a short distance.
"I really didn't expect you to be so impatient."
A dozen or so giant wild dogs lurked around, their menacing aura and foul stench wafting through the air.
The puppy in Hao Yun's hand quickly grew larger and landed in front of Hao Yun, its blood-red mouth opening wide to bite Hao Yun's head.
"They really don't learn their lesson."
Raising his arm, Hao Yun grabbed the vicious dog by the neck and tossed it away.
Boom!
The stray dog crashed to the ground, instantly filling the forest with dust and causing a large number of trees to collapse.
The villagers in the village outside the forest were so frightened that they all hid back in their houses, while sending people to the manor to inform the lord.
A dozen minutes later, Emilia arrived at the village with Rem, Ram, and Subaru.
"Lady Emilia, the barrier has been breached."
Ram frowned as he looked at the broken barrier on the tree and gazed out into the forest.
"There's the smell of monsters, and... the smell of guests!"
Rem exclaimed in surprise. She had come to buy supplies that afternoon and had seen Hao Yun.
Could it be that he made the loud noise in the forest?
"Sister, I'm going to go into the forest. You wait for me here."
Rem, carrying her flail, rushed into the forest, and Ram couldn't stop her.
Watching her younger sister walk away, Ram felt very uncomfortable.
"Lady Emilia, the barrier has been breached, and the magical beasts in the forest are likely to escape. Let's evacuate the villagers first."
Chapter 253 Solving Problems Easily
Hao Yun had a lot of fun in the forest.
"Run! Run faster, or you'll all die!"
Carrying a huge tree trunk, Hao Yun followed behind the stray dogs, chasing after dozens of them.
Whenever a stray dog broke away from the pack, Hao Yun would rush up and smash it with a stick, splattering its brains.
At first, the wild dogs tried to band together and launch a counterattack, but after Hao Yun easily killed more than twenty wild dogs, only one word came to their minds: run! Run for their lives!
The chase lasted for more than an hour. The wild dogs were exhausted and foaming at the mouth, but the devil was right behind them, and falling behind meant death.
Rem rushed into the forest to find Hao Yun, following the scent all the way. When she saw a pile of monster corpses, she became extremely anxious.
Oh no! Could the guests have met with disaster?
Rem quickened her pace and began to run wildly along the tracks on the ground.
"Haha, run faster!"
Wild laughter reached Rem's ears. Panting, she leaned against a large tree, dumbfounded by the sight before her.
What's going on?
