Chapter 614 - Tie Him to A Stake and Burn Him to Death!

A flash of light lit up on Babla’s raised wand as she pointed it in Lulu’s direction.

Lulu looked at Babla with a cautious expression. This little girl had just come out of Mamy Restaurant with Amy and Yabemiya, so she most likely wasn’t an enemy. As such, he was wondering why she was displaying such animosity toward him.

Furthermore, this little girl was so young and petite, with such a frail figure. He felt as if he would be able to poke her to death with a single finger, so he didn’t know how to react in this situation. As such, he could only shield Xixi behind him and assess the situation from there.

“Look out, she’s using spatial magic of a very high level!” Xixi cautioned as she stood behind Lulu. She had also pulled out her own wand.

However, she had only just finished issuing her warning when Lulu’s burly body rose into the air as if he had been plucked from the ground by a giant invisible hand. His feet left the ground and he let go of Xixi’s hand to avoid taking her with him. At the same time, he threw a powerful punch, which was able to easily break through the spatial barrier, but his body remained bound by an invisible spatial force that he was unable to struggle free from. Thus, he hovered in the air at an altitude of close to two meters, unable to come back down.

Amy walked out of the restaurant with Ugly Duckling in her arms, and her eyes immediately lit up upon seeing that. “Wow! Big Bear is flying! That’s so awesome, Big Sister Babla!”

“Lulu!” Xixi cried out as she turned to Babla with wariness and enmity in her eyes. She yelled, “Little girl, why are you doing this to Lulu?”

Amy made her way over to Babla with a confused look, and said, “Yeah, Big Sister Babla; Big Sister Xixi and Big Bear are both very good friends of ours. Big Bear is a little dumb, but he’s a good person. You should let him down now.”

“I feel like there must be some sort of misunderstanding between you guys. Or could it be that you have some sort of vendetta?” Yabemiya wore a rather nervous expression. Due to the fact that her own combat prowess was sorely lacking, she was at a loss for what to do in a situation like this.

“In our moon nation, men are strictly prohibited from holding a woman’s hand in a public setting! That is a gesture that disrespects and defiles women; it’ll bring the woman back luck! This guy is holding your hand in broad daylight, yet you’re trying to defend him! This is unbelievable!” Babla turned to Xixi with the expression of a disappointed mother looking at her daughter.

Xixi faltered slightly upon hearing that before putting away her wand and bursting into laughter. “Little girl, we’ve been married for centuries, and we grew up together; holding hands is like second nature to us, it is a gesture that reflects our love and trust for each other. I don’t know where this moon nation is, but here in Chaos City, as well as in the vast majority of places on the Norland Continent, couples holding hands is very much socially acceptable.”

“Yeah, Father holds my hand every day when he takes me to school; is that a crime?” Amy asked with a curious expression.

“Is that true?” A hesitant expression appeared on Babla’s face as she looked at Xixi. Indeed, from her expression, it didn’t appear as if she had been forced to hold hands with Lulu against her will at all.

Mag made his way out of the restaurant, and said, “You should learn to adapt to the social norms and culture of this place; it is a sign of respect for the different places that you visit. Only then can you truly blend in with this community. What you see as a heinous crime is an occurrence that couldn’t be more mundane here.”

As a single man, Mag didn’t really want to be fed dog food by Xixi and Lulu. However, killing Lulu just for holding Xixi’s hand in pubic was going way too far. Could it be that Babla was supposed to be some sort of extreme feminist?

“How could this be considered normal? How can men and women be together? Even if you’re in love, holding hands in public still warrants punishment by being burned to death!” Babla did not waver in the face of Mag’s persuasion.

Everyone looked at each other, at a loss for words.

“Look, they’re just holding hands and going out for a stroll. They haven’t committed murder or arson or anything like that. Just because you’re single doesn’t mean you have the right to condemn all couples.” Mag didn’t know how he should respond to such an absurd situation.

“That’s an interesting idea, Big Sister Babla. I’m really good at burning things!” Amy said with a joyful expression. She extended her little hand, and a ball of bluish violet flames appeared over her palm before she turned an eager gaze toward Lulu.

“That’s right! We must defend the rights of our fellow women! We can’t allow those stinky men to lay their dirty paws on us! Otherwise, us women will be the ones to get hurt in the end.” Babla’s confidence was restored after receiving Amy’s support. She looked at Lulu, and delivered her judgment. “Big dumb bear! You have committed an unforgivable crime! For that, I’m going to tie you to a stake and burn you to death!”

Lulu still wore a bashful smile on his face. He could sense this little girl’s animosity, but seeing as she was with Mag, he definitely couldn’t attack her. He trusted that Mag would be able to sort out this situation, so he turned to Mag for a resolution.

“I’m afraid I can’t do anything; she’s simply too stubborn.” Mag shrugged with a smile, and said, “In situations like this, where words fail to make people see reason, you should just beat her into submission.”

“Little girl, I’m very touched that you would try to stand up for me, but Lulu is a very important person to me, so if you’re going to hurt him, we’ll have to hurt you.” Xixi looked at Babla with a smile as she pulled out her wand again.

The smile on Lulu’s face had also disappeared. If Mag wasn’t going to resolve the issue, then they would have to take matters into their own hands. 7th-tier spatial magic was indeed quite powerful, but they were also 7th-tier beings in their own right.

“I’m not listening! I’m not listening! I’m going to tie this guy to a stake and burn him to death no matter what! I’m going to show him the consequences of disrespecting women!” Babla shook her head vehemently as she took a glance at Xixi’s wand. This beautiful big sister didn’t appear to be very powerful, so she wasn’t concerned at all.

“Are they going to fight?” Amy retreated back a little with Ugly Duckling in her arms, and looked on with an expectant light in her eyes.

“Roar!”

Lulu suddenly let loose a rumbling roar as his body abruptly swelled in size, transforming into a massive bear. He swiped his claws through the air, and ripples ran through the space before him as the spatial barrier that he was trapped in was torn apart. As a result, he landed back on the ground before turning to Babla with a cold expression.
