I Truly Am The Villian-Chapter 959 - 958: Korean Brothers, A World Beyond the Ordinary
"Lost?" The voice of the Form Blood Beast to the left seemed to belong to a man.
The voice was deep, and he carried a Longsword on his back.
Their manners and conduct were just like that of humans, apart from their appearance.
"This is Void Village, located within the territory of the Dark Kingdom. Do you know where your home is?"
Although the man was explaining, his expression remained cautious.
"Is this Void Village?" Xu Zimei thought for a moment, then made up a name and said, "My home is in Skyfloat Village, have you heard of it?"
Hearing Xu Zimei’s words, both Form Blood Beasts exchanged glances and discreetly shook their heads.
"We have never heard of it."
"Since that’s the case, then I’ll go ask around somewhere else," Xu Zimei said, somewhat disheartened.
Just as Xu Zimei was about to leave, the Form Blood Beast on the right hurriedly called out.
"Please wait, friend."
Xu Zimei turned his head, looking at the other with puzzlement.
"We are very familiar with the surrounding areas of Void Village, and there is definitely no place called Skyfloat Village.
If you go asking around now, you will probably get lost again.
How about you rest in our village for a few days? When we go to the Dark Kingdom, we can take you with us. Then you can ask in the kingdom’s main city.
Maybe there will be some clues," said the Form Blood Beast on the right.
"Wouldn’t I be bothering you?" Xu Zimei asked tentatively.
"After all, I am a stranger."
"No trouble at all, when you’re out in the world you must help each other," the Form Blood Beast on the left also nodded and replied.
"Our Form Blood Clan is united; that’s a principle we advocate, isn’t it?"
"And how may I address the two of you?" Xu Zimei hastily inquired.
"I’m Han Shengxiao, and he’s Han Shengtao," explained the Form Blood Beast on the right.
Xu Zimei also quickly introduced himself.
He thought to himself that, listening to what these two had said, this place must be the Form Blood Clan, so he had not come to the wrong place after all.
But why was it so different from what he had imagined?
...
As they walked towards the village.
Along the way, Xu Zimei saw many places.
There was no difference here from a human village, with various shops, old folks, children, and various kinds of Form Blood Beasts passing by.
"You must not have eaten yet," Han Shengxiao said as he led the way.
"I picked some wild fruit on the road," Xu Zimei said, a bit embarrassed.
"Here we are," Han Shengxiao stopped, pointed at a house in front of them, and smiled.
"This is my home; you can stay here for now.
In a few days when we go to the kingdom to trade animal hides, we’ll take you with us."
"Thank you so much, Brother Han," Xu Zimei quickly expressed his gratitude.
Xu Zimei carefully observed the courtyard. It was somewhat simple, surrounded by ordinary stones.
Inside, some houses were thatched huts, while others were made of mud.
Not just this courtyard, it seemed that the entire village’s construction technology was quite primitive.
In the center of the courtyard, a grapevine was planted.
The vine wrapped around the erected trellis, covering the sky above the courtyard.
In front of the house, a young girl sat washing clothes on a chair.
Xu Zimei was a bit surprised to see the girl.
Because she was different from these Form Blood Beasts, she had the appearance of a human.
Her facial features were especially distinct, with two braids made of what looked like white jade. She wore simple clothing.
A dimple appeared on her left cheek as she smiled, and on the upper left and right corners of her mouth, there were two small tiger teeth.
Upon seeing the returnees, the girl quickly called out, "Dad, Uncle."
Han Shengtao nodded slightly.
"This, this is," Xu Zimei looked at the other person, somewhat surprised.
He had just carefully sensed her; this girl did not seem to be human.
She should be a transformation of the Form Blood Beast.
Here, it would not be appropriate for him to open his Heavenly Dao eyes to check.
"Brother Xu need not be anxious," Han Shengxiao explained from the side.
"My niece’s bloodline is a bit different, so her appearance differs from ours."
"Oh, how could that be? It’s just my first encounter, quite fascinating," Xu Zimei said with a smile and shook his head.
"Great uncle, who is he?" The girl looked at Xu Zimei, asking with curiosity.
"My name is Xu Zimei, I am from Skyfloat Village," Xu Zimei took the initiative to explain.
"I fell off a cliff by accident while picking herbs on the mountain, and upon waking up, I found myself lost."
"Yes, I plan to have him stay at our home for a few days, then take him to the kingdom to ask about the way home," Han Shengxiao explained.
The girl nodded slightly, looked at Xu Zimei with a touch of timidity, and also a tinge of shyness.
"My name is Han Yanrou," the girl said in a low voice, revealing her name.
"Yanrou, is the meal ready?" Han Shengxiao asked with a smile.
"It’s ready," Han Yanrou replied hastily.
She hurried into the kitchen to bring out the prepared meal onto a stone table in the courtyard.
Han Shengxiao invited Xu Zimei to eat.
Xu Zimei did not know what kind of food the Form Blood Clan ate.
A bowl of pitch-black rice was unidentifiable by sight.
After tasting, he found the flavor a bit strong but otherwise acceptable.
During the meal, the girl named Han Yanrou kept stealing glances at Xu Zimei.
Occasionally when their eyes met, she would quickly withdraw her gaze, which seemed to mix curiosity with timidity.
"According to age, I should call you ’Zimo,’" Han Shengxiao said with a smile after finishing the meal.
Xu Zimei nodded slightly.
"Later on, we will prepare to work with animal hides; you can rest at home or wander around the village to familiarize yourself."
Han Shengxiao instructed.
"Yanrou, prepare a room for him to rest in later."

"Understood," Han Yanrou nodded gently.
...
After the meal, Han Shengxiao and the others left.
Han Yanrou went back to the kitchen to tidy up, leaving Xu Zimei alone in the courtyard.
Feeling somewhat bored.
He did not want to seem too out of place, so he did not go out but instead chose to doze off on the stone bench.
"Young Master Xu," Han Yanrou’s frail voice came from one side.
Xu Zimei opened his eyes slightly.
"What is it?"
"Your room is ready, you can check it out," Han Yanrou said softly, pointing to one of the houses.
"Thank you," Xu Zimei nodded. Experience more on novelbuddy
He walked into the room, which was quite simple.
A bed, with a rectangular cabinet by the head of the bed.
Opposite was a relaxing seat, similar to a sofa.
A faint fragrance filled the air.
"Are you satisfied?" Han Yanrou asked timidly.
"Quite nice, thank you," Xu Zimei smiled and nodded.
"Then I’ll go wash clothes," Han Yanrou responded and quickly walked out.
Xu Zimei felt she seemed too shy, almost afraid to talk to him.
The day passed quickly, and before long, the night had fallen.
