Catching a Petty Thief
Chapter 447 Catching a Petty Thief
Black-faced A-Ci's gaze swept over the fan a few times, and her fingertips began to rub her chin: "This weapon is crystal clear but exudes an eerie aura. It doesn't look like an ordinary material. Is it from the Ghost Realm?"
Bai Lingshan hesitated for a moment, wondering if mentioning the name "Shattered Blade Fan" would reveal that it came from the Book of Falling Feathers: "It is a spiritual weapon."
The pale-faced Atao, who was recording the accounts, suddenly looked up, his expression one of shock: "So Miss Aruo is a member of the Spirit Clan. No wonder she wears a mask every day."
Based on her knowledge of the Book of Falling Feathers, she learned that weapons from different realms are only available to those within the same realm, and since the Shattered Blade Fan is a spirit weapon, she naturally assumed that the person in question was a spirit.
She smiled faintly, neither daring to refuse nor daring to agree.
Black-faced Aci also showed shock: "Spirit race? What kind of spirit are you? Judging from your attire, are you a wood spirit? Or a wind spirit? Then your original homeland must be the Kingdom of Jingdu, right? I remember the Kingdom of Jingdu seems to be..."
Before he could finish speaking, the guest sitting by the window suddenly made a sound and rushed straight at them. In almost an instant, the large bag of magic crystals next to the pale-faced Ah Tao disappeared!
"Ah! It's a thief! It's a thief!" Pale-faced Ah Tao shouted immediately.
Bai Lingshan was sitting next to him, but she was unfamiliar with the situation and by the time she noticed, the thief had already run to the door.
She raised her hand, pressed down on the fan, aimed, and swung—a series of movements that were practiced and swift. But the crystal blade did not fulfill her wish; it veered sharply to the wall on the other side of the door frame.
The thief escaped unharmed, but the boss was terrified.
"Little sister! You're too young to be learning martial arts. Eating more candy is what you should be doing right now!"
"..." Just now, she clearly aimed for the thief's calf. Sure enough, superstition is unreliable. "I'm going to chase him!"
Suddenly, with a thud, the two bosses, one with black face and the other with white face, separated.
Black-faced Aci was very agile and slid out to block her movements: "I can handle this little thief. What if your mediocre skills hurt you?"
Pale-faced Ah Tao chimed in, "Yes, we can just mind the shop!"
But Bai Lingshan was not satisfied. She frowned and pouted. Anyway, there was nothing for her to do here, so she decided to go and see.
Thinking about it, she ran out the door.
As soon as she stepped out, she startled Ah Ci, who was still standing at the door.
Black-faced Ah Ci then started running: "You little thief! Where do you think you're going!"
Bai Lingshan focused intently, raised her fan again, and flicked it once more.
But the aim was too off, and the thief didn't need to dodge at all; he almost hit the black-faced Ah Ci who was chasing behind.
Dark-faced A-Ci trembled and rubbed her buttocks: "It's alright, it's alright. Weapons need a break-in period! I'll definitely be able to hit the target accurately in the future!"
Bai Lingshan was filled with displeasure. Seeing the thief running further and further away, she also started running.
At that moment, green light appeared in Bai Lingshan's hand, and several thick vines appeared out of thin air, surpassing the black-faced Aci, and tightly wrapped around the little thief.
But the next second, a green light flashed around the thief, and he easily escaped.
He jumped and spun around on the spot, saying smugly, "Didn't expect that, did you! I knew you had wood powers! Me too! I'm a tree spirit!"
Instead of taking the opportunity to grab him, the dark-faced Ah Ci ran back to her side.
"Why did you come back?" Bai Lingshan asked in surprise.
Black-faced Aci chuckled, "Are you really a Wood Spirit? Is your original home truly the Land of Spirit Crossing? Tell me quickly!"
"..." Bai Lingshan was stunned. Shouldn't catching the thief be the most important thing right now?
"He's trying to escape!"
"Oh! Let's catch the thief first!"
However, after running for a short while, she realized that even she couldn't outrun the dark-faced Ah Ci, and the little thief was much further away than them.
Black-faced Ah Ci sighed helplessly, "Look at me, I'm so short-legged! I can't catch her."
Bai Lingshan had no recollection of him saying this before he left: "Didn't you say you were fine?" The dark-faced Aci laughed again: "Miss Aruo, you're being too serious. They're just petty thieves. Of course we have to show them what's what if they steal our things! We'll just chase them and scare them a bit!"
Bai Lingshan: "?"
The thief sneered, "You two think you can scare me? Can't you tell I'm just messing with you? One's a little girl in her sugary phase, and the other's a little boy who's not developing properly."
Bai Lingshan: "?"
Black-faced A-Ci: "?"
Black-faced A-Ci's face was as black as it could possibly be: "You little thief! Who are you calling underdeveloped!"
The thief smugly asked, "Is there a fourth person here?"
Suddenly a gust of wind blew against his face, and the thief immediately became alert. "Where did this strong wind come from?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the thief took off running.
"You little thief! I'm not Yun Ci if I don't catch you!"
Spurred on by these words, Black-faced A-Ci also became serious. However, how fast could he run when he was less than a meter tall? Bai Lingshan deliberately ran and stopped to keep up with him.
As the route became increasingly familiar, Bai Lingshan had a bad feeling. Sure enough, the next second, the thief triggered the white light wall and passed through it.
Dark-faced Ah Ci stopped in her tracks. "They're actually outsiders!"
Although the black-faced Ah Ci, who has lived here for many years, cannot see the white wall of light, he still knows its general location. After he finished speaking, he pulled Bai Lingshan, who was still walking forward.
"Miss Aruo, there's a secret boundary line there. We can't get out. Be careful not to bump into each other."
Turning back to look at their little thief, he smugly said, as if looking at a caged bird: "You didn't expect that, did you! I'm from somewhere else! You underdeveloped little brother, come and catch me!"
Black-faced Ah Ci got angry as soon as she heard that: "Come in if you dare!"
He pointed a finger at him, but what good would it do? The thief wasn't stupid: "Come out here!"
"Come in!"
"Come out here!"
The two of them spoke incredibly loudly, each saying a sentence.
The arrogant thief shook his money bag, made faces, and even slumped to the ground.
The veins on Black-faced Ah Ci's temples throbbed noticeably, but confined to the dark area, he was powerless to retaliate against the thief's provocation.
He forcefully suppressed his anger: "Forget it, let's go back. Let's not stoop to his level."
"What about the magic crystal?" Bai Lingshan had no intention of letting him off the hook.
Dark-faced Aci waved her hand, her eyes losing their light: "It's just a bag of magic crystals, we have plenty. Actually, if you hadn't come out just now, I would have just stood at the door and gone in. They often steal things because they think we can't outrun them. We've gotten used to it over the years."
Bai Lingshan lowered her eyes. Did she know they couldn't get out of here, which is why she bullied them so recklessly?
This won't do.
She stared at the thief for a second, then lightly patted his shoulder: "I can go out now."
Now it was the thief's turn to be confused. Before the thief could react, Bai Lingshan ran out of the white light wall.
The little thief scrambled to his feet in terror, tears welling in his eyes: "She's not a little girl in her sugary phase!"
Before chasing after him, Bai Lingshan glanced back at the dark-faced Aci, only to find him stunned.
"I will get it back, wait for me."
