Chapter 448 Reclaiming the Thousand Silks
After saying that, she chased after the thief in the direction he had run off to.
Without the time to wait for the dark-faced Ah Ci, her speed increased significantly. Seeing that things were not going well, the little thief also used all his strength.
The two moved very quickly and soon disappeared from Black-faced Aci's sight. They were not heading towards the Gowalin station, but towards an unfamiliar corner.
Just as she was about to catch up, the thief suddenly stopped, panting heavily as he gestured for her to stop: "Wait a minute, little sister, your abilities have no effect on me, and your kung fu is so bad, what good would it do if you could get out?"
Bai Lingshan's breathing was relatively steady, and her expression was unreadable due to the mask she wore.
She looked back at the location of the white light wall. At this moment, the distance between them and the black-faced Ah Ci was no longer visible to the naked eye.
In this way, he won't be able to detect whether I use the talisman or the willow-leaf dagger.
"Little sister, you don't think I'm going to throw this bag of magic crystals back into your hands, do you?"
“...Of course not.” She replied calmly, and the dim, dormant willow leaf mark on her left ear began to glow green.
But then, the thief suddenly stood still and raised the hand holding the magic crystal bag above his head.
The next second, he made a cool "shooting" move, and the magic crystal bag fell into Bai Lingshan's hands.
"..."
Bai Lingshan was completely stunned.
She hadn't even summoned the sword yet, so why did she throw it back?
"What...what did you do to me?" the thief stammered, his hands shaking violently.
But she didn't do anything!
As if suddenly realizing something, the little thief glared and roared, "Why can you control my body! Why! You! You!"
The sound suddenly stopped, and the thief's expression turned to terror. Bai Lingshan immediately sensed something was wrong and turned around to find someone standing behind her.
It was Wang Zirui, the same Wang Zirui who took her Star Shift Ring in front of the Clock Tower that day.
How was he able to appear behind her so silently?
Bai Lingshan quickly averted her gaze from him and took a step to the side, feigning composure.
Fortunately, she didn't use the Willow Leaf Deceptive Blade just now, and it's also good that she was wearing a half-face mask that makes people forget about her.
She successfully evaded his gaze, which revealed her true identity, and also concealed her barely contained nervousness.
But the little thief wasn't in a good state; he could barely speak coherently: "You...you're from the Demon Hunting Team? Is...is it you who's controlling me?"
Wang Zirui still had the same arrogant demeanor he had when he first appeared. He only took one more step forward, and the thief was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly.
"Not bad, you have good judgment. Since that's the case, why don't you get lost?"
Upon hearing this, the thief, though startled, breathed a sigh of relief: "You...you can let me go?"
Wang Zirui, open and fair, crossed his arms and said, "You're lucky to have met me. I, Wang Zirui, have sworn an oath to only kill the evil demons in the Demon Prison Record."
"Really??"
Wang Zirui nodded: "Really!"
"Then... you can't go back on your word!"
"I will never go back on my word!"
slip!
The thief vanished without a trace.
The demon was like a mouse before a cat when it saw the members of the demon-hunting team. Was it the demon-hunting team that was terrifying? Or... was it the demon-hunting team that was terrifying?
Looking at Wang Zirui now, he doesn't seem like a bad person.
That day, although they stopped her and tried to kill her, if you put yourself in Du Lele's shoes, she must have been a bad person in their eyes too.
Wang Zirui suddenly sighed, relaxed his tense body, and patted his chest a few times: "Heavens, this is the first time I've gone on a long trip without a weapon, and I actually ran into a two-hundred-year-old tree demon. Luckily, I'm quick-witted and scared him away."
"?" Bai Lingshan's mind went blank. She was too nervous to look at him carefully just now. Now that she looked at him, he was only wearing a casual outfit that represented a member of the demon hunting team.
Wang Zirui walked up to her with a nonchalant air, extended one hand, palm facing her, as if to shake her hand. "Hello, miss, my name is Wang Zirui. What's yours? I'm here to collect the Green Luo Grass needed for the Spirit Taming Grounds of the Spirit Kingdom. And you?"
He suddenly greeted her very warmly, but she didn't want to shake his hand and only replied, "Aruo."
A few gusts of wind blew under the gloomy sky, very cool and cold. Wang Zirui's hand, which had been frozen in front of her, waited and waited before slowly withdrawing it.
Wang Zirui chuckled awkwardly, "Hehe... Sister Aruo, what a gentle name."
She had nothing to say, only nodding: "Thank you for helping me get my things back earlier."
"Huh?" Wang Zirui seemed to be taken aback by the question, but quickly regained his smile: "You're welcome! It's my honor to be able to help Sister Aruo. The Green Vine Grass I'm going to collect is near the Dark Zone. If you have time, why don't you come with me?"
"?" What is he saying? She glanced at him.
"It's not far away, do you want to go?"
Bai Lingshan shook her head seriously: "No."
The two emotionless words were received so easily, creating an awkward atmosphere. All that remained for Wang Zirui, who was seemingly lost in thought, was a series of "hahahaha."
"You're such a cool and aloof person... haha."
"... "
If she hadn't run away immediately and he hadn't noticed something was amiss, she wouldn't have stood here awkwardly chatting with him.
"Haha," Wang Zirui raised his hand and scratched his head, "It's okay, I'll go by myself in a bit."
Bai Lingshan remained silent for a moment before a polite smile appeared on her lips visible through the mask. "Then I'll be going now? Bye-bye."
When he looked at him, Wang Zirui's smile was very sincere: "Okay! We'll meet again someday!"
"……Um."
As she turned around, a bold idea suddenly popped into her head, and she stopped after taking only a few steps.
Think about it, he wasn't carrying any weapons, and he had used up his daily "Thousand Threads" spell. If we attacked him now, wouldn't it be easy to get the "Thousand Threads" back?
A calculating glint flashed in Bai Lingshan's eyes beneath her mask, but she would not repay kindness with enmity.
Forest Spirit.
When Bai Lingshan turned to look at him, countless vines appeared out of thin air around her, and in the blink of an eye, these vines bound Wang Zirui into a caterpillar.
Wang Zirui has a solid foundation from years of martial arts training, so even so, he was able to stand firmly.
"Sister Aruo, why did you tie me up?" Wang Zirui looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Bai Lingshan didn't reply to him, but simply walked up to him.
"Sister Aruo?"
Wang Zirui's blank expression made her hesitate for a moment.
Although touching her with her hands would cause her trouble, it was the only way to do it faster at the moment.
He took out the Star Shift Ring, quietly put it on his right hand, and with a flick of his wrist, headed towards the pocket of his shirt.
Wang Zirui jumped in fright at the sudden touch.
"What are you doing, little sister Aruo! Although I just helped you, men and women shouldn't touch each other."
The "Forest Spirit" talisman couldn't bind his feet. After Wang Zirui finished speaking, he jumped back another step.
"Please have some self-respect!"
"I have my measure."
