Eerie: My Villagers Are All Good People

Confronted by the Jinyiwei, renowned throughout the Great Wu Dynasty, and the terrifying Xuánjing Bureau, whose name struck fear into all who heard it, Qi Xia calmly straightened the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, then said indignantly:

"You may be officials, but that doesn't give you the right to slander my villagers! What is this? Defamation! Framing! A setup!"

Qi Xia waved his arms and raised his voice as he addressed the court officials standing before him, all on high alert. To prove his words were true, he turned to the villagers behind him, who were all drooling. He casually picked up a little girl with pigtails and thrust her right in front of them, then broke into a creepy, self-satisfied smile.

"What an innocent smile!"

"The village chief is right!"

The head in Qi Xia's hands stared at the living people before it, brimming with vital energy, slurped up its drool, and echoed Qi Xia in a hoarse voice.

His lips curled slightly upward. He took off his gold-rimmed glasses with his left hand, fixed his blood-red eyes on the living people before him, and declared with conviction:

"Look! My villagers are all honest, upstanding people!"
