Chapter 4867: 5.0619 Overestimating One's Own Strength

"Bang, bang." The Qin Mansion guards unceremoniously threw two punches, knocking the man to the ground.

"Heh, the Qin Mansion guards sure are mighty, aren't they?" Dou Xinwu arrived upon hearing the commotion and, seeing this scene, couldn't help but scoff.

What kind of skill was it to beat up a few defenseless fishermen?

Young Master Qin Da indifferently glanced at Miss Dou. "Miss Dou, it's commendable that you saved people, but since you've saved them, you'd best manage them well. Don't let them run around like mad dogs biting people indiscriminately."

"Who are you calling a mad dog!" Dou Xinwu, catching the disdain and mockery in Young Master Da's words, couldn't help but glare, her eyes wide with rage.

"Whoever tries to snatch food is a mad dog," Ling Ge spat angrily, throwing his torn sleeve to the ground.

When a crowd surged forward just now, it startled him.

Ling Ge desperately tried to protect Young Master Wu while retreating, but the surging crowd trapped them in the center, making it impossible to get out.

Dou Xinwu gritted her teeth and glared at Ling Ge, then turned to the leading fishermen. "Did you snatch food?"

A few fishermen mumbled, one of them bravely retorted, "W-we're all in the same camp. Do those women really need so much food? It's only human nature to share some with us, isn't it?"

"Pah!" A fiery woman burst out from beside Sister Yang, her eyes red with anger, cursing, "Do you just want 'a little'? You wanted to snatch all of it! You weren't even willing to leave a little bit for Kui'er, that child, when Sister Yang asked!"

"A bunch of morally corrupt bandits and thugs, and you still have the nerve to argue here?"

Qiao Mu coldly looked at Dou Xinwu and the others. "You play the saint and put up a memorial archway, then abandon the people, leaving them to their own devices. Now these people are running wild like mad dogs, snatching food, and you pretend not to see it."

"Don't bite off more than you can chew. Divine light isn't that easy to spread." The little poker face's retort left Dou Xinwu and the others flushed with embarrassment.

Without sufficient wealth and power, how can you possibly illuminate the world?

"You, how can you speak like that, girl?" Dou Xinwu couldn't help but get agitated. "Are you saying that we should have abandoned those struggling fishermen we saw on the coast? Not cared whether they lived or died? You're too heartless."

The assembled fishermen immediately looked at Qiao Mu with condemning gazes, as if the little poker face had committed some unforgivable crime.

Qiao Mu looked at her expressionlessly, a hint of sarcasm on her lips. "Overestimating your own strength."

Dou Xinwu was so enraged her eyes widened. Just as she was about to retort forcefully, she suddenly heard a terrified scream from behind the crowd.

Everyone scattered and retreated outwards, leaving only the Dou siblings, Dou Xinwu and Dou Tengqi, foolishly turning back and meeting a pair of dark eyes.

The person had been squatting on someone, vigorously tearing at their arm. Now, they looked towards the siblings, their mouth still stained with a gruesome, crimson blood...

Dou Xinwu immediately let out a piercing shriek that shook the heavens and earth, and quickly cowered behind her brother.

The corpse puppet moved incredibly swiftly, pouncing forward and landing in front of Dou Tengqi.

Dou Tengqi nearly collapsed to the ground, scared, and hastily shuffled his feet, retreating several steps backward.

The corpse puppet moved incredibly fast, letting out a strange "wa" cry, then suddenly sprang like a frog, opening its gruesome fangs to bite at Dou Tengqi's arm.

In his panic, Dou Tengqi threw a punch.
