Lou Yanjin proved with his skills that he’s not a fool who doesn’t know how to use his treasures.
He studied the Treasure Box Array, found the way to activate the Teleportation Array, and then called Xiao Jinsheng and Caicai to join him on a thieving adventure.
The golden glow enveloped the two still-bathed-in-green-light folks along with an onion stalk and directly teleported them into a sealed cave. Follow current novels on novel·fiɾe·net
Inside the cave, Lou Yanjin immediately spotted his glowing Storage Bracelet.
"This is indeed Lou Yan Zhi’s secret stash." Lou Yanjin promptly rushed towards his Storage Bracelet but was yanked aside by Caicai into a corner.
"My treasures." Lou Yanjin anxiously pointed at the pile of Magic Artifacts on the ground.
Caicai’s big onion swiftly covered Lou Yanjin’s mouth.
Xiao Jinsheng also signaled Lou Yanjin to stay quiet: "Someone’s coming."
Upon hearing this, Lou Yanjin dared not make a sound.
But he released his Spiritual Power to sense around.
There was no sign of anyone approaching at all.
Just when Lou Yanjin was about to speak and ask Xiao Jinsheng if he made a mistake, this time he clearly heard the sound of footsteps himself.
Lou Yanjin quickly crouched in the corner, next to Caicai, nervously clutching Caicai’s big onion leaves.
Soon, a tattered beggar entered the cave and casually turned on several Magic Artifacts to light up the dark cave.
Caicai stared in shock at the beggar, signaling to Xiao Jinsheng: this is the beggar who stole my Spirit Stone!
Lou Yanjin looked at the beggar with an exploratory gaze.
Confused as to why Lou Yan Zhi’s Treasure Box Array led them to meet the beggar who robbed Caicai in his secret stash.
Could it be... that the beggar is Lou Yan Zhi?
With this possibility in mind, Lou Yanjin frantically signaled to Xiao Jinsheng with his eyes.
Caicai also guessed this possibility and quietly tugged at Xiao Jinsheng.
Xiao Jinsheng gestured to the onion and the person in front to quiet down.
She opened the Star System Map and began sending messages to Lou Yan Zhi, whose Intelligent Brain was previously bound to hers.
Before this, she had sent messages that, due to being in different universes, weren’t successfully sent.
After arriving in the Cultivation World, the messages were indeed sent successfully.
But with no reply from Lou Yan Zhi, Xiao Jinsheng had no idea why.
So this time, Xiao Jinsheng wanted the Star System Map to set Lou Yan Zhi’s Intelligent Brain notification sound to music and play it out loud.
She then opened Lou Yan Zhi’s chat window and sent a message.
Xiao Jinsheng: Are you there?
Once again, the message sank into the sea without a trace.
There was no response from Lou Yan Zhi.
The beggar in front of them didn’t trigger any music set by the Star System Map due to receiving messages on his Intelligent Brain either.
Xiao Jinsheng shook her head at Lou Yanjin and Caicai: This person doesn’t seem to be Lou Yan Zhi.
If it were Lou Yan Zhi, bound with the Intelligent Brain, at such a close range, the Star System Map should’ve been able to detect it.
However, the Star System Map detected nothing.
Caicai began signing with the big onion: Since it’s not Lou Yan Zhi, then it’s the beggar who stole my Spirit Stone.
Caicai: Let’s capture him first and retrieve the Spirit Stone.
Lou Yanjin, beside him, inferred Caicai’s meaning from Caicai’s anger, nodded in agreement, and began gesturing based on intuition: If he’s not Lou Yan Zhi, then he’s a thief here to steal Lou Yan Zhi’s secret stash too.
Lou Yanjin: Let’s knock him unconscious and empty Lou Yan Zhi’s secret stash.
Caicai nodded, continued to gesture: I agree!
Xiao Jinsheng nodded: I agree!
Lou Yanjin continued to gesture: Then let’s go ahead...
A pair of dusty hands suddenly extended, gesturing, and a smiling voice sounded from above Xiao Jinsheng: "I object!"
"Beggar!" Caicai saw the beggar somehow appear behind Xiao Jinsheng and swung the big onion head to strike at him.
"Robber, meet your end!" Lou Yanjin found his sword from the pile of Magic Artifacts in the cave and charged at the beggar with it.
The beggar moved, easily pinching the blade of the Cold Sword with two fingers, deflecting it sideways, then swiftly kicking.
With one kick, Lou Yanjin was sent flying into the pile of Magic Artifacts.
Caicai’s big onion swung over but got grabbed by the beggar and was tied to a nearby stone pillar.
After dealing with the big onion and Lou Yanjin, the beggar’s gaze, hidden behind his hair, fell on Xiao Jinsheng, and he sneered: "Next, it’s your turn."
Xiao Jinsheng summoned her Superpower, grimly watching the beggar and discovered he had snatched Lou Yanjin’s sword to slash at her.
She sidestepped and deftly drew her own blade, spinning to slash at the beggar’s side waist.
The Cold Sword and long knife clashed, creating sparks that rippled and sizzled.
Xiao Jinsheng’s eyes grew cold and dark, feeling the beggar’s single-handed sword exert pressure on her wrist.
She realized that Swordsmanship was the beggar’s specialty.
She simply tapped into all her Superpowers, be it poisonous or non-poisonous, control or Illusion Realm, and threw them all at the beggar.
Lou Yanjin had just struggled up from the pile of Magic Artifacts, astounded to see Xiao Jinsheng unleashing a barrage of multicolored intense powers around her, bombarding the beggar like a chaotic storm of fists.
The bombardment forced the beggar to stagger back, leaving only a few cloth strips hanging from his tattered clothes, revealing skin beneath that was starkly different from the grime-covered parts.
Although his hands were smudged black as if from coal digging.
Yet underneath the fabric, the skin was stark white.
Fire Superpower burned away the beggar’s tousled hair hanging over his face.
Startled by the burning heat, the beggar hastily removed the fake mustache and wig from his face.
He dodged the Illusion Realm’s trap, then saw Ice Blades gusting at his face with a knife wind, and slid on his knees with a plea: "Don’t attack, I’m one of you!"
"Stop pretending, you lousy robber!" Lou Yanjin furiously charged with an axe: "I’ll hack you to death! You stole Caicai’s Spirit Stone! You’re stealing my brother’s secret stash!"
"Stop, he’s your brother!" Xiao Jinsheng hastily ensnared Lou Yanjin with green vines of Superpower.
"My brother?" Lou Yanjin doubted: "This useless beggar?"
"Useless?" The beggar raised his head to cast a cold glance at Lou Yanjin.
Removing the fake mustache, shedding the fake wig, and taking off the disguise mask revealed the familiar handsome face.
Lou Yanjin stared in disbelief, shocked to see Lou Yan Zhi.
Lou Yan Zhi sneered: "I’m useless? Beating you doesn’t even require half a move."
"Then why are you stealing my possession?" Lou Yanjin questioned.
"Why did you grab my onion shoots!" Caicai also released from being tied up, approached.
"Why did you draw your sword and chase me down!" Xiao Jinsheng interrogated darkly.
"It was all a misunderstanding." Lou Yan Zhi lay on the ground, spreading his hands helplessly.
Yet his clothes were already tattered, and after Xiao Jinsheng’s chaotic Superpower bombardment, only strips were left to cover crucial spots.
Xiao Jinsheng, lowering her head, was startled by a disturbing sight.
She pinched her nose, covered her eyes, quickly turning her back to Lou Yan Zhi: "Get dressed first."
"No clothes left." Lou Yan Zhi lazily yawned, turning his head to watch Xiao Jinsheng avoiding him with her back, smiling as he asked: "Didn’t you burn that ragged outfit? Did you forget?"
"Lou Yanjin, quickly give your brother a set of clothes." Xiao Jinsheng urged Lou Yanjin.
"Let him stay exposed!" Lou Yanjin declared angrily: "Robbers and thieves don’t deserve clothes!"
Hearing this, Lou Yan Zhi turned his gaze with a smile: "You really are my good brother."
