Eternal Thief

Chapter 1500: Mischievous Wealth Administrator

The moment Ace opened his status, he instantly looked at his thief points...

=====

[Thief Point(s): 16,201,424,030]

=====

When Ace saw his remaining thief points, his expression sank because there were over 500 million missing from them!

At this moment, Pixy magically appeared beside Ace and grumbled with pursed lips, ”What are you shouting for?”

Ace’s eyelid spasmed as he questioned impassively, ”I think I’ve told you that you can’t use any Thief Points without my approval?”

Pixy blinked her beautiful eyes before she nodded in agreement, ”Yes, I’ve heard you loud and clear.”

Ace wanted to slap the little thing when he saw her innocent expression, but he wasn’t someone who used violence against his own.

Nonetheless, he was still furious as he demanded, ”Then where did my over 500 million Thief Points vanish?! Care to explain!”

Pixy still played innocent as she pouted as if feeling wronged and replied, ”Well, as you can see, I did a little renovation to ’my’ living space. It was extremely chaotic and unsightly, not a place where a lady should live. So, since you were busy, I took it upon myself to do the ’work’. Now that place looks slightly decent. You should be thanking me!”

”That renovation cost over 500 million!? And what do you mean by slightly decent? Is it still not enough!?”

Ace was floored, still unable to believe that all those constructs would cost so much, especially since he could do a lot with just five million thief points. Furthermore, from Pixy’s tone, it was clear that she wasn’t satisfied with it, which left Ace speechless, and he thought Pixy was messing with him.

A hint of disdain flashed past Pixy’s eyes as she raised her chin proudly before explaining, ”Of course, this small renovation would cost 500 million thief points as well as some of those trash materials. Right now, the entire living thief space is no different from a fortified Ascension Grade-8 fortress!

”However, I have been very frugal with the funds because you said I can’t use them, so that I couldn’t increase the grade further. If you could provide an unlimited supply of Thief Points, I’d be able to transform the Living Thief’s Space into an immortal city!

”Now, that would be a decent place for something like me to live, albeit still not sufficient. Yet, you are so poor, I can only endure this hardship, but you still got angry with me over those measly thief points! You have changed!”

Towards the end, tears seemed to be in her rainbow eyes, as if Ace’s words deeply hurt her. If others saw her, they would instantly consider Ace a child abuser.

However, Ace wasn’t easily deceived, and he knew Pixy’s tears were akin to a crocodile’s tears, and she was acting.

”Unlimited supply of Thief Points!? Do you think they are dirt that I can pick up wherever I go? Furthermore, even if I had an unlimited supply of Thief Points, I sure won’t waste them to create that so-called immortal city just for your comfort.” Ace retorted in frustration, secretly thinking with resentment, ’After all, I can’t enter the Living Thief’s Space, so what’s the point of wasting Thief Points on it!’

Despite Ace’s tone, Pixy didn’t seem afraid at all, and instead she dropped the act and pulled with a faint smile, ”You are only angry because you can’t enter the Living Thief’s Space, right?”

Ace’s eyes widened slightly when Pixy instantly saw through his real thought, but he won’t admit it and retorted, ”Nonsense! Just don’t use Thief Points anymore. Since it was your first time, I’ll let it slide, but if you ever do it again, I’ll lock you up in a bottle!”

”Tsk, tsk, jealous man.” Pixy eyes were filled with disdain, ”Try it and see what’ll happen. If you dare to mistreat this lady, I’ll make sure all your Thief Points will reach a big zero!”

Ace was shocked as he dangerously narrowed his eyes and glared at Pixy, ”You can’t use them as you please without my authority. The points you used are probably your limit, which you didn’t tell me before. So, if my guess is right, you can only use a certain parentage. That’s why now you’re going to tell me!”

Pixy’s eyes flickered with a profound glint before her lips rose in a beautiful arc as she clapped, ”Hehe, as expected of someone I choose. Indeed, as your Wealth Administrator, I can use 3% of your Thief Points without your permission, but I can’t spend them on anything other than the Thief’s Space. Furthermore, I can only use them once every 99 days.”

’As expected...’ Ace smiled wryly, unable to understand why Pixy would hide such a thing from him.

But knowing Pixy’s nature, he suspected there might be some rule involved, or she was simply behaving mischievously again.

Nonetheless, he was glad that he was able to figure it out quickly, or Pixy might’ve continued to do the same until he noticed it.

”Just don’t use them in the future, for now, the Thief’s Space is more than enough renovated.” Ace helplessly stated.

”Tsk, tsk, you don’t have to worry. I’ll use them again when you expand the Thief’s Space again. And don’t even think about dissuading me because I won’t stop until it reaches my satisfactory standards! Hmph!” Pixy said matter-of-factly.

’Sigh...’ Ace sighed ruefully as he could only leave the little troublemaker alone for now, and he dismissively said, ”Alright, go and enjoy yourself then.”

”Oh, I will, you don’t need to tell me twice.” Pixy giggled before she vanished again.

Ace shook his head before shifting his focus to the Thief’s House Space, where he found Zaria sitting cross-legged, surrounded by a faint swirl of spirit Qi.

After making sure she wasn’t in cultivation state, he transmitted his voice into her head, ”Do you comprehend the technique? We don’t have much time before I have to leave this place. So, I’m thinking about a way to send you outside the Myriad Hollow. You can then gather House Points in peace and grow on your own!”

At this moment, Zaria’s eyes snapped open, and a hint of anticipation flashed past her beautiful cat-like eyes, ”As long as Leah is taken care of, I’m ready!”
