Divine Farming System - Chapter 11

He grew anxious, wishing he has an extra leg to help him run faster. Several minutes later, he finally arrived at the site, people could be seen sitting on the ground shaking.

Meanwhile, Ding Bang was surrounded by four people. They stared fixedly at Ding Bang gauging his strength.

One of them was the city lord, an Double S rank mage. He was an old man wearing a Red Robe while using his staff as support. Even though he acts like this, no one dared to underestimate him. Even the 3 patriarch have to bow their heads when they saw him.

The 3 Patriarch were all S rank. Two warriors and one ȧssassin, they were looking at Ding Bang with unsightly expression. Such great force released by Ding Bang posed a threat to them. If not for the city lord being here, the three of them would not hesitate to eliminate him to avoid future trouble.

After an air piercing silence, the city lord asked. “What happened here?”.

Even though Ding Bang posed a threat to him, he still know that Ding Bang didn’t hold any malice. He know that it was just a show of power to make the people understand that this place is his territory.

“Ah.. it’s nothing city lord, there was just some misunderstanding between my workers which leads to them fighting. My master’s butler didn’t mean to offend anyone, he only helped me take control of the situation” Fatty Ma explained.

Hearing Fatty Ma’s explaination, the city lord was shocked inwardly. ‘His master must be strong to have a Double S rank as a butler’. The City lord nodded his head in response as to show that he understand.

“The problem is already under control, you may leave now” the City lord commanded.

The three Patriarch wanted to stay longer but don’t have the courage to disobey the City lord’s order. The city lord talked with Fatty Ma for some time and inquired about what they were building. As everything was already settled, the City lord then bid his farewell. Ding Bang also turn around and continue to nap with the two slaves fanning him.

Feng Shaotian only arrived at Fatty Ma’s location after the crowd started working. He asked Fatty Ma what happened and learn the full in and outs of the situation. He then instructed Fatty Ma to watch out from people who have malicious intention.

Confirming that everything was back to normal. He walked towards Ding Bang’s location only to accidentally see two people walking in his direction. He warily scanned the two of them. ‘Where did I meet them? They looked familiar’ he thought.

A silent whooshing sound sounded as Ding Bang suddenly appeared next to Feng Shaotian.

“Master, they are the bandit you showed goodwill with and also the one who refused your offer” Ding Bang reminded after seeing Feng Shaotian’s wondering face.

“Oh! So it was them. That’s why they look familiar” Feng Shaotian said. He then look at them and asked. “What can I do for you?”.

Ling Bing and Tang Bai felt awkward, last time they refused his offer without second thought. But now they took the initiative to search for him. They don’t know how to start conversing with Feng Shaotian. All they did was look straight at him and smile.

“What is it? I’m busy so don’t waste my time” Feng Shaotian indifferently said after seeing them smile like an idiot.

Ling Bing built up the courage then said, “We would like to accept your offer if you can provide protection to me and my brothers. If you think that we have ulterior motives then you don’t have to worry about that” Ling Bing continued. “Me and my brothers are thinking about leaving Underground Faction. However, because of the Faction head’s threat, we can only stay. But if you can promise our safety then we’ll pledge our loyalty”

‘Underground Faction?’ Feng Shaotian thought confused. ‘Should I accept them or not? Let’s try it out. System, make a contract’.

[A contract has been made]

[Contract]

* Only follow the master’s command.

* You can’t attack your master or this could be considered contract breaching and will be killed by heavenly tribulation.

Ling Bing was hesitant after reading the Contract’s content. This contract is no different from master – slave contract.

“This..” he doesn’t have time to finish his sentence before Feng Shaotian started talking.

“You don’t have to say anything, if you become one of my people. I will surely treat you well and I’ll trample every enemies that come knocking at your door. However, it depends if you’re the one on the wrong or them. And also, you have your freedom in doing anything, my only request is for you to always follow my order.”

Ling Bing and Tang Bai both nodded their heads then bid farewell. They were going to tell their brothers about this first. If they agree, then they’ll follow Feng Shaotian.

“Fatty, can you handle the situation here? I’m going for a trip to the beastman prairie. I found out that they are in need of food supply and it would be the best place to sell our goods” Feng Shaotian asked, he thought about going there to sold his Golden Rice stock. But thinking about what just happened a moment ago he couldn’t help but hesitate. If he and Ding Bang was away, no one would be able to stop it if trouble happens again.

“I can handle it Master. I know you’re worried about our situation here, but don’t worry about it” Fatty Ma said grinning, “we’re friends with Red Tulip Chamber of Commerce and they owe us a favor, so why not used them now hehe”.

“You’re right, you can request them for protection until our return. Then that’s it, we’re leaving now” Feng Shaotian said.

“That fast?. Wait master. How many days will you be away?” Fatty asked.

“It won’t be long. I expect good news in my return” Feng Shaotian replied. He then brought Ding Bang with him and left under Fatty Ma’s gaze.

Ding Bang and Feng Shaotian was walking through a dense forest after leaving the city.

“There are lots of magical beast in this forest master. Do you want me to bring one for you to take as a mount?” Ding Bang asked.

“No need. I already have you” Feng Shaotian replied chuckling.

Ding Bang suddenly stopped walking. His behavior took Feng Shaotian by surprise and thought that Ding Bang was mad at him.

“Who’s there?!” Ding Bang shouted in a booming voice.

“Well. Well. Well. Your senses are quite good kekeke” a person revealed himself wearing a black robe with an S rank marking on it.

“Who are you?” Feng Shaotian asked.

“Me? There’s no need for a dead person to ask. Treasure your time now while alive as afterwards—you’re dead meat!” the man said maliciously.

“You must be from the Underground Faction? Am I right?. You’re hired by someone to kill me?. Now, tell me. Who hired you?!”. Feng Shaotian asked in a chilly tone.

“Oh.. you know? I’m scared” the man teased while laughing. “But to make your question right, we’re not here to kill you”

He pointed his finger at Ding Bang and said “but him!”. He know that the target was a Double S Ranker but, he didn’t come here alone.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three whoosing sound could be heard in the surrounding. Three people wearing black clothes showed up, however only one of them is a real ȧssassin. The other two were both warriors, carrying a long sword with runes inscribed. The sword was shining in green and gold mixture from time to time.

Through Feng Shaotian’s appraisal skill, he found out that it was an S rank weapon. The three newcomers give off an intimidating vibe, making Feng Shaotian sweat uncontrollably. Noticing his master’s situation, Ding Bang protected him by standing in front of him.

“Master go and hide first, let me take care of them” Ding Bang said solemnly. Even though he was strong, he can’t guarantee he’d win in human form.

Feng Shaotian nodded his head in understanding, he can’t help him anyway. For the first time in his life, he realized how useless he is.. He understands now what the sentence ‘Fist speak louder than words’ means.
