Zhang Jing smiled slightly as she looked at the scene.
She turned around and walked up to Prince Chen and Prince Sui, who were still supervising the soldiers' work.
When the two saw her coming, their hearts tightened again, fearing that this fairy maiden might have some new demands.
“Fairy Maiden…” Chen Wang began cautiously.
Zhang Jing looked at them calmly and said slowly, "Gentlemen, it is your business whether your army wants to fight or contend for the world. We, the Wilderness Mountain, do not wish to interfere too much."
“But,” she changed the subject, her tone becoming more serious.
"I hope this is the last time! If you two armies dare to turn your swords against unarmed civilians again, or plunder their homes, leaving them homeless and starving!"
Her voice suddenly turned icy and chilling: "Then don't blame the Mountain Goddess for unleashing true divine punishment! At that time, it won't be as simple as a few earthen walls and a few claps of thunder!"
Prince Chen and Prince Sui were terrified, their backs instantly soaked with cold sweat.
They had no doubt about the truthfulness of the fairy's words.
With their unpredictable methods and earth-shattering power, if we were to truly deal with them, they probably wouldn't even know how they died.
"Rest assured, Fairy Maiden!" King Chen immediately bowed respectfully, his tone utterly sincere. "We will remember what happened today! From now on, we will strictly discipline our subordinates and never dare to disturb the people in the slightest again! If they commit this offense again, you won't even need to lift a finger, Fairy Maiden; I, Chen, will bring my own head to face you!"
Prince Sui hurriedly swore an oath: "Fairy Maiden, please witness! I will definitely repent and reform! I will definitely discipline my subordinates! I will never let today's events repeat themselves! If I break this oath, may I be struck by lightning!"
Zhang Jing snorted coldly, and seeing their terrified expressions, she knew that the purpose of the warning had been achieved.
“Remember what you said today,” she said calmly. “Take your people, fix these houses, and then get out.”
"Thank you, Fairy Maiden! Thank you, Fairy Maiden!" Prince Chen and Prince Sui were overjoyed and thanked her repeatedly, feeling that the fairy maiden's voice was like heavenly music.
They dared not slack off in the slightest, and immediately turned around to urge their soldiers to work even harder.
They just hoped the house could be repaired soon so they could leave this place of trouble that they would never forget.
Not far away, a ragged boy overheard the conversation and, filled with excitement, ran over and knelt down with a thud.
"Fairy Maiden, Fairy Maiden, save me!"
"I am a villager from the nearby mountains. Recently, there have been evil spirits and bandits in the mountains, and we villagers are barely able to survive!"
The boy had finally escaped from the mountain and was looking for help, but he never expected that the people outside were also living in such misery.
He could only walk numbly through the crowd. If he hadn't seen this scene, he probably would have already committed suicide to atone for his sins, feeling that he had let down his family members in the mountains who had risked their lives to save him.
Now, seeing such a miraculous caravan and feeling the power of the mountain goddess, he was immediately excited and couldn't wait to kneel down.
Zhang Jing frowned: "Get up and speak. Since it is evil spirits causing trouble, our caravan will certainly not sit idly by."
"But we don't have enough manpower right now. Wait a moment, I'll go and call some more people!"
Oh, call for backup?
The boy opposite looked over blankly.
