The Villain Doesn’t Want To Get Entangled With the Beautiful Girl After Rebirth

21. Your Whole Family Are Heroes!

Some people, when God closes a door on them, He opens a window.

And for Lin Nuo, it seemed God had shut all his doors and windows, then went ahead and farted inside.

Failing to assassinate the protagonist was one thing, but how did he end up being hailed as a righteous hero by the entire village? He didn’t recall planning to save them.

Lin Nuo shook his head, dismissing the thought, and decided to go fishing to clear his mind.

But why was fishing so smooth today?

Oh, it was someone else’s fishpond.

Well, that’s alright then.

Lin Nuo, feeling perfectly justified, pulled up his fishing rod, and lo and behold, another big fish.

Today, it would be oil-braised, steamed, and red-cooked, all in one go. Mission failed, and the fish could only atone with their deaths.

“Who are you?! Why are you stealing fish from our pond?!”

A little boy, brandishing a tiny fishing net, ran over furiously, “Dad, there’s a thief stealing our fish!”

“Who dares?!”

At that moment, a robust fisherman arrived, clutching a large fish spear with a big fishing net slung over his back, the very picture of a fisherman’s gear, “Dad, it’s him, he’s the one stealing fish from our pond!”

The angry boy pointed at Lin Nuo, and the fisherman followed the direction of the finger.

He saw a handsome and spirited young man, sitting leisurely on a stool with a fishing rod, seemingly enjoying the act of fishing.

The white clothes he wore seemed somewhat out of place with his fishing posture. What a sight, a young lad not learning good ways, sneaking into someone else’s fishpond to steal! The diligent folks of Candlestar Town would never allow such theft of others’ hard work!

Off to the magistrate’s office with him, for a good dose of ideological education!

But upon closer inspection of Lin Nuo’s face, the fisherman gasped in shock, immediately grabbing the boy’s hand, “Child, this is Lin Nuo, the great hero of Candlestar Town who drove away the beasts! The one who single-handedly defeated the Heavenly Slave Dragon and the disciples of the Demon Refining Sect! Child, this is what a true man should be like, you should take your brother as a role model.”

“Ah?! He’s Lin the Great Hero? How come he’s at our fishpond…?”

“It must be because there’s a demon in our pond, and Lin the Great Hero is here to slay it for us!”

The fisherman exclaimed excitedly, bowing repeatedly to Lin Nuo, “I’m sorry, Great Hero Lin, the child is ignorant and misunderstood you. Please continue, fish as much as you want, and if it’s not enough, just tell me, I’ll give you all the fish from the other ponds. We’re so grateful to you, Great Hero Lin, for saving our Candlestar Town. All our fish and livestock were eaten by the beasts, and now we finally have peace. Thank you, Great Hero Lin, we’re forever in your debt!”

The fisherman, pulling his child along, walked away cheerfully. Indeed, doing good deeds often was the right thing to do. The righteous and imposing Great Hero Lin even graced his own fishpond with his presence, surely his kindness had moved the heavens.

Lin Nuo was utterly confused.

Damn it, I’m stealing your fish, and you’re saying I’m catching demons? What kind of logic is that? Your child is right, I, Lin Nuo, am the fish thief!

Indeed, the truth is only in the hands of a few.

And why are you cursing? You’re the great hero, your whole family are great heroes!

“This is too much!”

In a fit of anger, Lin Nuo kicked the bucket, fishing rod, and stool right into the pond. So much for the thrill of stealing fish, now he’s being treated as a great hero.

Who says the eyes of the masses are clear? They must be suffering from glaucoma!

The more Lin Nuo thought about it, the angrier he got. He decided to return to Candlestar Town to pack up his things and leave first thing in the morning.

And as he walked down the streets of Candlestar Town, he saw the townspeople had put up a big red banner:

The entire populace of Candlestar Town thanks the righteous hero Lin for ridding them of evil!

“Damn it…”

Lin Nuo was almost fainted with anger.
