Dashing Student Chapter 992: Unable to Bear It

Chen Nan’s suggestion left the people of Huotang Village stunned.

They bowed their heads in contemplation, pondering whether the name of the village was more important or its people.

In the end, they reached a conclusion.

The people are important.

As long as the people remain, and Huotang becomes their surname, passed down through generations, the village will not truly disappear, and even after millennia, it will still be remembered.

Seeing their expressions, the old priest finally showed a relieved smile.

"Sir, please save our people quickly."

Chen Nan nodded, the iron mask on his face stirred countless guesses within the hearts of the Huotang villagers, casting an aura of mystery over him.

"I can, but only you and A Yin can watch the process; no one else shall interrupt."

The Huotang villagers immediately cleared out a house and brought over a patient, who was exactly like those from Moon Tower Dong Village afflicted by the Immortal Epidemic.

Even the King of Ten Thousand Gu reacted similarly.

"Sir, do you need anything? As long as you can heal our people, whatever it is, we at Huotang Village will spare no expense."

The old priest looked at Chen Nan’s empty hands and couldn’t help but ask.

Chen Nan mildly smiled, slowly extending his hand, and a silvery snake slithered along Chen Nan’s arm onto the patient.

Seeing the little horn atop the King of Ten Thousand Gu, the old priest’s pupils suddenly enlarged, his heart beating like drums despite being seasoned with experience.

"King... King Gu?!"

A Yin on the side felt satisfied seeing the old priest’s expression and proudly reminded, "It’s the new King Gu."

As a centuries-old priest, the old man instantly recalled the prophecy circulating within the Heavenly Border, and his breath grew heavy as he quickly turned to look at A Yin.

"Are you..."

"That’s right." A Yin nodded, "Since the King Gu abandoned us, leaving us to watch our people die, I decided to change my faith."

The old priest finally understood why A Yin’s previous words seemed so strange, and he couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile.

"This matter is too great for our two small villages to bear."

Listening to the conversation between the two priests, Chen Nan slowly raised his head.

"No one else will know."

"The prophecy will not come true."

In truth, Chen Nan felt rather speechless; he merely sought a peaceful place to cultivate, yet now they viewed him as the new King Gu of prophecy?

Did they even expect him to lead them to defeat the Nine Tribulation Celestial Silkworm and become the King of Ten Thousand Gu?

No way!

Chen Nan could tell just by thinking how much danger lay within, so he definitely wouldn’t actively seek it out.

Soon, the Immortal Epidemic on the patient was absorbed by the snake, and quickly, another patient was brought forward.

Although each patient’s treatment wasn’t lengthy, there were many patients in Huotang Village, keeping Chen Nan busy throughout the night until all were healed.

Afterwards, Huotang Village relocated.

However, all the villagers gathered before the massive garnet, bowing deeply.

This garnet was the root of their village, and leaving it filled their hearts with sorrow, with some even secretly crying.

Chen Nan did not step forward to disturb them; this moment belonged to all of Huotang Village.

A long time later, the old priest stepped in front of the garnet and said to the villagers, "Don’t worry, we are still here, so Huotang Village is still here."

"Joining Moon Tower Dong Village is not a bad thing either."

With that said, he pressed his hand on the garnet, and with a thought, the garnet was stored into a magical artifact.

Even as they joined Moon Tower Dong Village, they would take this stone with them.

The people of Huotang Village packed their belongings, using their beasts to carry luggage, forming a long line to migrate to Moon Tower Dong Village.

They merged into one village, using Huotang as a surname to form a new branch.

Thus, Moon Tower Dong Village’s strength significantly increased.

There were no conflicts or displeasure between the merged villagers; instead, they quickly integrated.

They placed the garnet at the center of the camp, then began expanding the camp and building houses.

Meanwhile, Chen Nan returned to his residence, refusing to let anyone disturb him.

His house was far from others’ houses.

This made him seem even more mysterious in the eyes of others.

Half a month passed in a blink.

Moon Tower Dong Village was bustling, with villagers going out hunting, bringing back several huge demon beasts, enough for the village to feast for days.

The benefits of the merger were obvious; Huotang Village tamed beasts, Moon Tower Dong Village controlled Gu, cooperating seamlessly for an increasingly prosperous life.

"A Bai, you didn’t encounter any danger this time, did you?"

A Yin approached the hunting team, smiling as she saw the demon beast corpses.

Several women armed with knives came forward to skin and process them, their actions indicating they were quite skilled, having done this often before.

The divided demon beast meat was treated with various strange herbs, making it safe for common folk to eat.

This was why most people in Heavenly Border Villages didn’t cultivate, yet their bodies remained robust.

As the bonfire blazed and large chunks of demon beast meat roasted over the flames, with everyone smiling broadly, A Yin looked towards a lone house far away.

"A Yin, are you thinking about Mu Lang again?" A Bai suddenly interjected.

A Yin’s face instantly flushed, "Oh, what nonsense are you spouting."

"How am I speaking nonsense?" A Bai’s eyes widened, "You clearly like Mu Lang, what’s there to hide? But Mu Lang has changed a lot since returning."

Smart people already knew Chen Nan’s identity was false, only the straightforward A Bai still genuinely believed it was Mu Lang.

A Yin’s face grew even redder, like a ripe apple, mix of shyness and panic.

"Who told you I like Mu Lang?"

"Hehe, everyone knows." A Bai chuckled, "You look at that house for a long time every day, wasn’t I right?"

A Yin immediately pouted, "Nonsense, you guessed wrong!"

"I’m just curious, curious, you know?"

A Bai scratched his head, "Ah? Really?"

Girls’ thoughts are really hard to predict.

Unlike other women in their village who, if they liked someone, would visit the man’s room that very night.

Watching A Bai leave foolishly, A Yin secretly chuckled, then gazed at Chen Nan’s place with amorous eyes.

"Did I show it that obviously? Maybe not."

Just then, the door that hadn’t opened for half a month suddenly swung open, and the familiar figure stepped out and paused momentarily before walking towards the bonfire.

A Yin immediately cheered excitedly, "Senior!"
