The villagers were extremely moved and had already regarded Lin Yifan as the greatest savior of their lives.
On the other side, after killing the Zhēnshuǐ Worm, Lin Yifan took out the Zhēnshuǐ Pearl and put it in his pouch.
Not long after he flew ashore, a large crowd of villagers surrounded him, then knelt on the ground, constantly expressing their gratitude: "Thank you, great hero, for saving our lives, thank you!"
"You're welcome. Even if this Zhēnshuǐ Worm wasn't the water monster harming you, I would have killed it anyway. Now it's just more justified," Lin Yifan replied.
"Regardless, you killed the great water monster and saved the villagers of this entire fishing village, making you our great hero."
"It's just killing a High Immortal Fifth Realm Constellation Beast; many people can do that. I don't dare to claim the title of hero," Lin Yifan humbly responded.
