Chapter 453: Chapter 453: Thanks for the Mercy Chapter 453: Chapter 453: Thanks for the Mercy Little Taotie struggled to get out of Tian Leran’s arms and walked to the roadside to find a small stone similar to the one back then.

Old Lady Hu took a big step backwards, “What are you going to do! Want to smash me again?”

The old lady’s daughter-in-law stood in front of her, rolling pin in hand in a defensive stance, “I’m telling you, don’t come any closer, I will really hit you with this stick!”

Little Taotie looked at them, sighed like a little adult, and then walked toward a large stone.

This oval-shaped boulder was large enough for two adults to sit on.

With the small stone, Little Taotie gently tapped the boulder, her voice milky: “I did it just this gently at the time.”

Old Lady Hu refused to believe it, yelled angrily, “With such little strength, not to mention breaking a toe, my grandson wouldn’t even get a bruise!”

But reprisal came quickly, with a faint “crack”!

The crowd’s eyes widened as they stared at the boulder.

Where Little Taotie had lightly tapped, a crack appeared!

Old Lady Hu rubbed her eyes vigorously, clutching her two daughters by her side, her voice trembling: “Is it because my eyes are blurry, right?”

“…Are my eyes blurry too?”

“…I saw the crack too!”

Upon hearing her daughters’ responses, Old Lady Hu was completely unsettled: “How is that possible? She clearly didn’t exert much force!”

The boy’s mother said blankly, “She didn’t use any strength yet the stone cracked, what if she had used more force… what would have happened?”

Little Taotie cocked her head, answering her with action.

Little Taotie raised her small hand and, with a grunt, smashed down with great force.

The small stone in her hand, like an invincible hammer, crashed down hard, and the oval boulder shattered into pieces under everyone’s gaze!

“Ah!” the boy’s mother screamed.

Old Lady Hu gasped with shock!

The other women retreated again and again, covering their mouths, and hardly dared to breathe loudly.

Old Lady Hu trembled her lips: “Strength God…”

The boy’s mother trembled, “If she had used full force on my son, would my son… have survived?”

The boy’s aunt: “Thank you for sparing him!”

The boy’s second aunt clutching her heart: “It was almost a case of the elder burying the younger! Woe betide my nephew, why provoke the Strength God!”

Little Taotie tossed aside the small stone, her voice milky: “I didn’t mean to smash him. He threw a stone at me, and I thought of throwing one back, I really didn’t realize he was so fragile…”

The boy’s mother: “…Get it straight! It’s not that my son lacks calcium, nor is he fragile! It’s you who is unnaturally strong!”

But she dared not say it aloud, only dared to complain in her heart.

Old Lady Hu sighed, “It’s my grandson’s misfortune to have encountered the Strength God.”

Old Lady Hu urged everyone to hurry, “Go, go, go, let’s go home.”

King of Film Xu hurried to stop them: “I will accompany you to the hospital to see the child, and whatever compensation is owed, we must take responsibility!”

Little Taotie looked at her fingers, feeling guilty, quietly spoke: “I want to go see him, I didn’t mean to hurt him…”

“No! Don’t come!” Old Lady Hu exclaimed excitedly: “We don’t want any compensation! Just don’t trouble my grandson anymore!”

“They’re really off,” Gu Yixing suspicious.

Villagers who had come to watch the excitement crowded around Gu Yixing, whispering, “You are outsiders, you don’t know about the legend of the Strength God! More than a decade ago, there was a child in the village, his mother ran away with someone, and the village kids mocked him for being motherless! He wouldn’t retort, and always seemed morose, giving others the impression he was easy to bully!”

“Later, the village kids threw firecrackers at his house, causing a fire, and it was then he exploded for the first time! He swung his fists and broke many children’s bones!”

“At that time, some came demanding compensation, his family was already poor, but his father still paid the money, leaving them unable to make ends meet.”

“Those unlucky kids didn’t learn their lesson, gathered together once they healed, thinking of revenge!”

“At that time, he fought many alone, one child almost died from a cracked skull.”

“It blew up into a big issue, and the Strength God was taken away, everyone thought he was arrested and put in jail, but then…”

Gu Yixing urged, “What happened next?”

The man sighed, “Later, people in the village saw him on TV.”

“He stood on the Olympic podium, having become a weightlifting champion.”

“Originally, this should have been the village’s pride!”

“It’s us who drove the Olympic champion out of the village!”

Old Lady Hu called the women in her family to run faster, turning back to shout, “Don’t trouble my grandson again!”

She was frightened, back then the Strength God had cracked a child’s skull, the child was nearly beyond saving!

What if she kept dwelling on this event, this child held a grudge, and ambushed her grandson on the road later?

What if he treated her grandson’s head like the boulder…

Old Lady Hu glanced at the nearly pulverized boulder, gasped, and her old legs, like Swift Legs, zipped away very quickly.
