Xin’er followed the villager away while Madam Dian did not even bat an eye. It would appear that they were all well acquainted.
“Thank you for playing along with the kid, I apologise for her rudeness,” Madam Dian said gratefully. “Is there anything else that you need from me, great cultivator sir?”
Even though Zhao Yunxiao had said earlier that he was not here for any specific reason, the fact that the villager was bringing Xin’er away to buy them time for a conversation proved otherwise.
“This might not be the best time to ask, but I’m wondering if you would be able to provide some information about the demon?” Zhao Yunxiao said frankly. “If it is too hard on you, that’s fine as well. I can always find the information elsewhere.”
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
“No, I’m all right,” Madam Dian shook her head. “I might not know much, but if what little information I do know can help by even the slightest bit, then that’s good enough for me. That way, at least I can take pride in knowing that I have helped to prevent someone else from ending up like me.”
“Mm,” Zhao Yunxiao nodded in a sombre manner. “In that case, do tell me everything you know about this demon.”
“Definitely. Three weeks ago was when I saw the demon for both the first and last time,” Madam Dian said. “My husband and I were at the river when it swooped down from the trees to grab him without warning...”
Madam Dian started to recount exactly what happened back then.
Both of them had been part of the fishing team, and had gone to the river along with a group of other villagers.
But as many as they were, numbers alone proved insufficient to scare off the monkey demon that came straight for her husband.
