Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Stolen From Again

Lin Yun, who had been waiting for an opportunity, didn’t make his move until the wee hours of the morning, after the Monk and the Daoist had fallen sound asleep.

Compared to the first time, now that he had Little Ape, Lin Yun basically didn’t need to lift a finger. He gave Little Ape its instructions, telling it to bring him all of their things.

Hearing Lin Yun’s command, Little Ape patted its chest with a look of firm assurance, then transformed into a streak of light and vanished from the private room in the blink of an eye.

Sitting in his chair, Lin Yun patiently waited for Little Ape’s return. When it came to sneaky business, Little Ape was much more skilled than he was. Plus, being only the size of a palm, it was far more convenient for the job.

Not long after, a quarter of an hour at most, Little Ape returned. However, when Lin Yun saw that it had brought back the duo’s clothes along with a pile of women’s flimsy silks, he was at a loss for words.

’This little guy seems to have a peculiar fascination with people’s clothes.’ Lin Yun vividly remembered how Little Ape had stolen all the clothes from an entire inn back in the small town.

”You only brought these things?” Seeing the pile of clothes with not a single Primordial Stone among them, Lin Yun asked nervously, ’This guy didn’t really just bring back clothes, did he?’

At his words, Little Ape first nodded, then seemed to remember something. It thought for a moment and finally, under Lin Yun’s anxious gaze, it took out two Space Rings.

When he saw the two Space Rings, Lin Yun couldn’t help but grab Little Ape and give it a big kiss. ’Thank goodness, thank goodness. This little guy isn’t a lost cause after all.’

”Two more Space Rings so soon. Just how many people have these two robbed?” Lin Yun sighed as he smoothly severed the connection to the Space Rings.

After successfully accessing the Space Rings, the smile on Lin Yun’s face completely blossomed. If circumstances allowed, he would have let out three maniacal laughs.

Between the two of them, there were at least seventy to eighty thousand Low Grade Primordial Stones. ’My god.’ Lin Yun was utterly astonished by their money-making abilities. ’Just how many people have these two scammed in the last two years?’

Seventy to eighty thousand Low Grade Primordial Stones in just two short years—that was a rate of earning comparable to a Primordial Ocean Realm expert.

”Good job,” Lin Yun praised Little Ape. Then, instead of leaving through the main door, he leaped from the window. Under the cover of night, he slipped away without a trace.

After leaving Chunfeng Tower, Lin Yun went straight back to the Qing Zhu Tavern. Just as he arrived at the entrance to his Bamboo Courtyard, he saw Qing Zhu sitting on a bamboo chair in the yard, apparently waiting for him.

”Miss Qing Zhu, still not resting so late at night?” Seeing Qing Zhu, Lin Yun suppressed his elation and greeted her as if nothing was amiss.

”You look very happy. Is Chunfeng Tower really that intoxicating for men? So much so that even my Qing Zhu Tavern can’t compare?” To his surprise, Qing Zhu, with a placid expression, directly revealed his whereabouts, her tone laced with faint contempt.

Hearing this, Lin Yun’s expression changed, and he asked in a somewhat cold tone, ”You followed me?”

”Hmph. I wouldn’t stoop to following you. It’s just that you, Young Master Lin, have greatly disappointed me. I didn’t expect you to be no different from other men. I, Qing Zhu, was blind.” With a soft snort, Qing Zhu stood up and left the Bamboo Courtyard.

Lin Yun didn’t stop her as she left. It seemed Qing Zhu had misunderstood his visit to Chunfeng Tower; she thought he had gone there to carouse with women.

’How strange. What does my trip to Chunfeng Tower have to do with her? What’s she so jealous for?’ he muttered in confusion. ’Never mind that I went to Chunfeng Tower for Primordial Stones; even if I had gone there to sleep around, what business is it of hers?’

Deep down, Lin Yun hated being tied down by others, especially by someone he barely knew. ’Even if you are a beauty, does that mean I, Lin Yun, have to stay by your side every day?’

Lin Yun was quite displeased with Qing Zhu’s behavior. ’Looks like I can’t stay here anymore.’ With a soft sigh, Lin Yun returned to his room, packed a few things, and left the Qing Zhu Tavern directly.

Now that he had another seventy or eighty thousand Primordial Stones on him, where couldn’t he afford to stay?

He found a decent enough inn. The fee was still one hundred Low Grade Primordial Stones per day, which seemed to be the minimum price in the Capital City.

Without hesitation, Lin Yun checked in. He moved all of the Monk and Daoist’s Primordial Stones into his own Space Ring. He now had four extra Space Rings, which would be worth up to forty thousand Low Grade Primordial Stones if he sold them.

Suddenly rich again, Lin Yun was overjoyed. He mulled over purchasing some more Demon Beast Essence Blood tomorrow. ’Although this amount of Primordial Stones isn’t enough for me to successfully transform, it’s better than nothing.’

After a wonderful night’s sleep, the entire Chunfeng Tower erupted into chaos the next morning. A fat Monk and a thin Daoist were raising hell inside.

One can only imagine the fury in the hearts of the Monk and Daoist. The Primordial Stones they had painstakingly accumulated over two years had vanished overnight once again.

After a series of investigations, the Monk and Daoist finally found their clothes in the private room next to theirs. At the same time, they also saw Xiaodie lying unconscious on the bed.

Furious, the two paid no mind to the fact that Xiaodie was a woman. They roughly shook her awake and angrily interrogated her, ”Speak! Where did my Space Ring go? Who was here yesterday?”

Waking up to a monk with a ferocious expression demanding answers, Xiaodie was naturally terrified. She recounted the events of the previous day in fits and starts.

She had been knocked unconscious by Lin Yun and didn’t even know when he had left. This drove the Monk and Daoist completely mad.

”Damn it! If I get my hands on him, I’ll tear out his tendons!” the Monk roared.

”I have a feeling this person is very familiar..........” The Daoist, who was comparatively calmer, listened to Xiaodie’s story. Although she described the man as having a plain appearance, the Daoist had a nagging feeling in the back of his mind that this person was very familiar, a sense of déjà vu.

”Lin Yun... Could it be Lin Yun?” Prompted by the Daoist, the Monk instantly thought of Lin Yun—the brat who had made them suffer a huge loss in the Mysterious City and stolen all their belongings.

Every time he thought of Lin Yun, an inexplicable rage would well up in the Monk’s heart. If it weren’t for Lin Yun, how could the two of them have ended up in this state, with all their Forbidden Artifacts used up?

”I can’t be sure, but that brat Lin Yun is extremely good at disguises. I just have a feeling it’s him.”

”It must be him! Only he would steal from men of the cloth! He’s a thief who won’t even spare clergy! Buddha will surely punish him! No... I’m not waiting for Buddha to punish him! I’m going to tear him limb from limb right now!” the Monk said, his face contorted with fury.

This Lin Yun was truly their nemesis. The two of them had cheated, scammed, and swindled their way along without ever suffering a loss, but every time they ran into Lin Yun, they would inevitably get fleeced for all they were worth.
