    Chapter 68: Shut Your Mouth (Part One)

    Faced with three glaring fingers pointed straight at them, the remaining six exiles who got up early for breakfast on the third day were initially shocked, then their expressions numbed.

    Don't mind it, don't get angry. And definitely don't make any noise!

    It's just the malicious plan of those two despicable men, wanting to amuse themselves by provoking them into making noise.

    Engaging with them over this would mean falling into their psychological trap.

    How could these seasoned exiles be easily broken? They can endure!

    Then, striving to maintain their composure, Shuidan's team and Witch Qingyu saw that the detestable duo was not only flipping them off but also directed their contemptuous fingers at the serving maids, the tailcoat butler, and even the chef who came over to ask if the breakfast was to their liking.

    As if they wouldn't be satisfied without silently cursing everyone present.

    With such actions, the already quiet Silent Mansion became even more silent. So silent that everyone seemed to carve out an invisible Silent Mansion right under their feet.

    However, Chen Jinzi and Lezi, who were dining, felt great.

    Lezi had his fun.

    Jinzi confirmed that none of the servants he could see within the villa were the man-eating monster that would react violently to his gestural greeting.

    Therefore, breakfast could be eaten peacefully before heading to the garden to search for the monster.

    Witch Qingyu, after eating a few bites of lunch, looked up at Chen Jinzi, then lowered her head to eat a few more bites before looking up at him again.

    Eventually, under Chen Jinzi's puzzled gaze, the curious yet composed immortal witch took out a writing board to ask: "Does your hand gesture today... have a special meaning?"

    Sweet Sister Chen Jinzi smiled sweetly at the immortal sister: "No, just a polite greeting."

    Witch Qingyu: ...

    Beside her, Yu Jiao rolled her eyes to the sky, goddamn "polite greeting."

    However, Chen Jinzi ignored these irrelevant people. After breakfast, he flashed an even sweeter and more lively smile, grabbed his polar bear cloak, and ran off into the estate.

    As they turned around, they saw the pretty sweet sister again making a "polite" sign language greeting to the cleaners shoveling snow at the door, almost making Yu Jiao too agitated to eat: "Is he crazy?! What on earth is he trying to do?!! Has being unable to speak driven him mad?!"

    Shuidan didn't answer but watched the bouncing figure of the sweet sister with narrowed eyes before definitively writing a few lines: "He's undertaking a world quest."

    Unlike the three teams of twenty who had ambushed into this world to kill Chen Jinzi, aiming only to survive the quest, they hadn't considered initiating a world quest to confront the devourer.

    But Chen Jinzi was different.

    He is the only one among them who would definitely strive to complete the world mission, initiating the core battle of the world.

    It seems his goal has never changed—since entering the Land of Exile, he aimed to retaliate against the Devourers.

    Thus, Sweet Sister Jin's identity was almost laid bare, and now her actions only served as further proof.

    Wu Yuyao paused her coffee sipping, her face first showing disbelief then scorn: [Laughable, is the world mission accomplished by flipping the bird?! Can flipping off find the man-eating monster hidden among these hundred servants?]

    Wu Yuyao found it increasingly absurd and hilarious, [Boss, I'm going to die laughing. We've been in the Land of Exile for over a decade, which exile monster breaks defense over a middle finger, haha...]

    "Screech—"

    Before Wu Yuyao could finish writing, a piercing shriek came from outside the villa, made all the more jarring by the Quiet Villa's usual silence.

    Wu Yuyao nearly snapped her pen.

    Without speaking, her face directly showed the words [Is this even possible].

    Additionally, a series of facial expressions like [Are you a donkey], [This damned villa deliberately opposing me], [Damn, doesn't the old lady have any dignity], [I want to go out and see who's slapping my face!] effectively cursed with her face.

    Then, Wu Yuyao rushed out with others.

    They saw from afar, in front of the glass greenhouse, to the left of the large hot spring pool, Chen Sijin and an angry bodyguard were chasing each other.

    But clearly, Sweet Sister Jin had a significant advantage—every time she turned back to flip off the bodyguard and glare, the bodyguard would immediately fall flat on his face, plus his expression twisted in rage.

    As the bodyguard falls, the girl cloaked in a cape would quickly jump back, landing a vicious kick on the guard's head, back, and even unspeakably horrendous spots, executing a lightning-fast counterattack.

    And then, she continued to run forward, persisting in this mistreatment of the bodyguard.

    Wu Yujiao frowned deeply.

    The burly figure asked with an expressive face, "Is that bodyguard a monster? He doesn't seem at all like a man-eating beast but rather like a big, pitiful fool being played!"

    The young green-faced healing therapist, who had finally awakened today without any coughing, observed carefully for a moment and then pointed at the shadow of the bodyguard on the snow.

    Everyone then saw the shadow on the snow, completely unhuman in shape, with claws and what seemed like several heads.

    Wu Yujiao rubbed her fingernails, her face darkening.

    "This man-eating monster must be sick! So psychologically fragile! To break defense with just a middle finger is a disgrace to all Devourers!!"

    However, Wu Yujiao quickly turned her gaze towards their leader, her eyes flashing with a sinister light.

    "Boss! Shall we make a move?"

    This moment seemed like a good opportunity to take down Chen Sijin.

    Their team still had four people left, four against one, as long as the nearby Wu Qingyu and Le Feng didn't intervene...

    Suddenly, Wu Yujiao noticed an additional figure in front of her, bearing a face almost identical to Chen Sijin's, smiling as it slowly extended a middle finger towards her.

    Then, the figure withdrew the middle finger and stretched out a pinky instead.

    No words needed to be spoken; the sign language was enough.

    Wu Yujiao's facial expression transitioned from stiffness to a polite smile, quickly bowing her head with sweat beading on her forehead, daring not to look forward any longer.

    "How could Le Feng, that madman, possibly refrain from getting involved!"

    He was just happily making polite gestures with Chen Sijin!!!

    All three of Alun died by his hand! She's truly courting death!

    Shui Dan also remained expressionless without speaking; though a ruler-level entity like him, he didn't possess the ability to confront Le Feng, the jesting serpent lunatic, head-on.

    Moreover, he no longer intends to take action against Chen Sijin in this world.

    At least, not now.

    They had already tested Chen Sijin's abilities a couple of days ago, and clearly, preventing him from speaking doesn't make him as weak and defenseless as everyone thought.

    Instead, they discovered that Chen Sijin could still protect himself, insult others, mock with his eyes, and find monsters using sign language even without speaking.

    He's truly in his element.

    Pushed to the brink, he could even resort to a kamikaze attack with a screaming chicken.

    Under such circumstances, anyone who confronts him is a fool, Shui Dan thinks his brain can still be saved.

    So, let's not interfere with each other.

    They won't hinder Chen Sijin from completing the world mission, but they certainly won't help him once the world mission begins.

    If Chen Sijin can survive and leave this world, then next time, let's go directly for a King-level Devourer world.

    At least, silencing him is not his weakness at all.

    Thus, Shui Dan offered Le Feng a conciliatory smile and made a casual gesture of invitation with his hand to show his stance.

    Le Feng quietly observed him for a moment, only to snort disinterestedly and look away when he saw him sweating profusely.

    Indeed, aside from his beloved Jin, all other humans here are so unappetizing, ugly, and dull.

    If he were to gaze at Jin like that, Jin would definitely roll his eyes at him, or drag him into some big mischief.

    Le Feng turned his head to look at Jin, and seeing him once again make a man-eating monster cower with a glare, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

    Ah, how adorable.

    Next time, he'll also play the game of "stare and explode."

    Hmm, the monster exploded.

    Indeed, the monster that was irritated by bright lights last night and greeted with hand gestures this morning was finally provoked into exploding by Chen Sijin. It didn't die from the fall that made it question the very essence of a monster's life, nor from the almost painful face-stomping after its fall.

    It literally died of rage.

    As a man-eating monster, it couldn't endure being fought back by its prey and constantly seeing but not being able to eat.

    So, it decided to die of anger, then let this human face the real hell of Silent Villa!

    Thus, in the last moment before exploding from rage, the man-eating monster's face showed a fierce expression, followed by its final roar.

    The moment the contents of the man-eating monster's cry were heard, the expressions on the faces of all the exiles, except for the jester, changed.

    "Daddy! Eat him!!"

    Chen Sijin: …

    What daddy?

    Which daddy?

    Who's this monster's daddy?!

    In an instant, Chen Sijin thought of all the possibilities and automatically chose the worst one.

    At this moment, the entire Silent Villa began to shake, and as the villa trembled, those non-speaking servants started to run around in panic.

    But if one observed closely, it would be apparent that these running servants were not scattering randomly but moving collectively in one direction.

    Then, under the unspeakable gaze of Chen Sijin and a few others, a hundred servants merged together into a giant creature with a giant's body but covered in heads... a monstrous behemoth.

    Chen Sijin blinked.

    And blinked again.

    He felt something ominous in an instant and took out a writing pad wanting to write something for self-defense, but it was already too late—

    This gigantic monster, with a hundred heads, glared at him with a hundred pairs of eyes; a hundred mouths opened simultaneously, and under Chen Sijin's incredulous gaze, it began to scream wildly—

    "You killed my son son son son—" ×100

    "You deserve to die die die die—" ×100

    "Die die die die die die—" ×100

    Amidst this deafening, soul-piercing horror of a hundred vocal waves, Chen Sijin, completely stiffened and watching his life drain away crazily, heard the world announcement.

    "You have found the man-eating monster of the manor."

    "But you mercilessly enraged it to explosion."

    "You have triggered a world mission."

    "However, the furious owner of the villa has decided to kill you because—he only asked you to find the monster, not to infuriate it to death."

    Chen Sijin: "......"

    Chen Sijin: Ha! Damn it!

    Did you hear me? My regards to your entire family!!
