Chapter 21 Robbery
Mr. Yao laughed and laughed, but then he couldn't laugh anymore.
Because he saw Xiao Zheng and Little Fairy Doctor standing in front of the carriage, looking at him with a half-smile.
Mr. Yao's smile froze instantly.
He seemed frozen in place, his mouth agape for a long time before he finally managed to utter a gasp: "Holy crap!"
"Xiao Zheng?! You...you're alright?"
He couldn't believe it; with such a commotion outside, this kid was completely unharmed.
Are those two guards just sitting around doing nothing?
Seeing this, Little Fairy Doctor put her hands on her hips, raised her face slightly, and nodded her chin lightly, gesturing for Mr. Yao to look to the side.
Mr. Yao followed her gaze, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his face turned slightly pale.
The two one-star Dou Master guards he had sent were lying sprawled on the ground.
Both guards were dressed in tattered clothes, with blood trickling from the corners of their mouths, their eyes closed and unconscious, looking quite pitiful.
"This...how is this possible?!"
Mr. Yao screamed in shock, his voice trembling.
He suddenly turned to look at Xiao Zheng, his eyes filled with disbelief and terror.
He thought the crashing sound was Xiao Zheng being beaten up by his guards, but he never expected that it was his guards who were being beaten!
Those were two one-star Dou Masters he hired at a high salary!
Those two people are among the most prominent in Qingshan Town.
But how did he end up like this, beaten up by a mere kid?
hiss--
Mr. Yao suddenly realized something and gasped.
Cold sweat instantly seeped out from his back, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.
He finally realized that Xiao Zheng in front of him was not a three-star Dou Zhe at all!
Being able to easily defeat two one-star Dou Shi means he must be at least a two-star Dou Shi, or even stronger!
No wonder this kid dared to openly say he wanted to run away, no wonder he wasn't afraid of the guards I sent. It turns out he'd been hiding his true abilities all along!
Seeing Mr. Yao's panicked state, Xiao Zheng's lips curled up into a playful smile: "Mr. Yao, the tables have turned now."
One sentence made Mr. Yao freeze, snapping him out of his shock.
He was, after all, a cunning old fox who had been navigating the business world for decades, and his face immediately donned a fawning smile.
Mr. Yao rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, "Master Xiao, it's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!"
"I sent guards to accompany you, purely to protect you and Little Fairy Doctor's safety; there was absolutely no other intention!"
"I didn't explain things clearly just now, which caused you to misunderstand. Please don't take it to heart!"
As he spoke, he secretly observed Xiao Zheng's expression, trying to deceive him with sweet words.
Xiao Zheng watched him change his expression faster than flipping through a book, and sneered inwardly, showing no leniency towards him.
Xiao Zheng cut to the chase: "We don't have any deep-seated hatred between us. As long as you hand over all your valuables, you can live."
Mr. Yao's smile froze. He hadn't expected Xiao Zheng to be so direct, but with his life in someone else's hands, he dared not object and could only nod stiffly, "Of course, of course!"
As he spoke, he quickly untied the bag from his back, handed it to Xiao Zheng with both hands, and gave him a pained smile: "There are gold coins, medicinal herbs, and some odds and ends in here, it's all yours!"
Xiao Zheng reached out and took the bag, weighing it in his hand; it was quite heavy.
Little Fairy Doctor noticed that Mr. Yao was wearing three antique-style rings on his right hand.
Although the ring looked unremarkable, the fact that Mr. Yao wore it so often indicated that it was quite valuable.
Little Fairy Doctor coldly said, "Take off the ring on your hand."
Xiao Zheng raised an eyebrow; he was just about to bring this up.
Mr. Yao's expression changed instantly, and he instinctively clenched his fists, glaring at Little Fairy Doctor: "Little Fairy Doctor!"
"Don't forget who gave you a place to establish yourself at Wan Yao Zhai! You're ungrateful!"
He tried to use gratitude to manipulate Little Fairy Doctor in order to keep the ring on his hand.
Little Fairy Doctor smiled calmly, her eyes showing no remorse: "Mr. Yao, you've got it wrong, haven't you?"
"I work at Wan Yao Zhai, and you pay me wages. We have a cooperative relationship, so there's no question of gratitude or favor between us."
"Besides, if I hadn't come to Wan Yao Zhai, how could your shop have dominated the market in Qingshan Town?"
"Don't forget, Jishetang also offered me a high price to invite me back then."
Little Fairy Doctor was telling the truth. Since she joined Wan Yao Zhai, she has attracted countless customers with her superb medical skills and beautiful appearance.
Wan Yao Zhai's turnover increased several times over, and Mr. Yao made a fortune.
Mr. Yao was speechless, his face turning pale and then red.
His attempt at moral blackmail failed, so he could only point threateningly at the baggage in Xiao Zheng's hand and say, "If you sold the stuff in that bag, it would be enough for you to live on for half your lives! Don't go too far!"
Xiao Zheng said calmly, "Pick it."
As he spoke, he slowly raised his right hand, and silvery-white battle qi surged from his palm.
The aura was icy cold and carried the unique ferocity of lightning, leaving Mr. Yao with no doubt that if he dared to say anything more, Xiao Zheng would kill him.
Mr. Yao dared not utter another word of "no," and could only reach out with a pained expression, removing the rings from his fingers one by one.
He carefully placed the three rings in his palm and handed them to Xiao Zheng, his eyes filled with reluctance.
Xiao Zheng reached out and took the ring, examining it carefully in his hand: "Wow, I guessed before we set off that this was a storage ring, and it really is."
"No wonder he's the owner of Wan Yao Zhai, he's really rich."
"These three storage rings alone are worth around 30 each."
Hearing this, Mr. Yao felt even more pain in his heart, but he still forced himself to remain calm and said, "Master Xiao, this storage ring has my soul imprint on it. Even if you obtain it, you cannot use it."
"How about we make a deal? You return my storage ring, and I'll give you some extra gold coins. What do you say?"
He still held a sliver of hope, believing that a soul imprint was something that could not be erased unless one's strength far surpassed his.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng curled his lip in disdain, not bothering to waste any more words with him, and directly injected his own battle qi into one of the storage rings.
hum-
The silvery-white battle aura enveloped the storage ring, and a slight ripple spread outwards.
In just a moment, the soul imprint belonging to Mr. Yao on the storage ring was completely erased, turning it into an ownerless object.
Xiao Zheng then erased the soul imprints from the other two storage rings in turn.
He weighed the ring in his hand and smiled at Mr. Yao, saying, "Now, these three storage rings are all ownerless."
Mr. Yao's eyes widened, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood!
How could he forget that Xiao Zheng in front of him was a Dou Shi!
The soul strength of a Dou Shi far exceeds that of a Dou Zhe, making it incredibly easy for him to erase the soul imprint!
If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have said anything. Now, he's lost even the last shred of hope.
Xiao Zheng branded his soul mark onto a storage ring on the spot, then put it on his middle finger and threw his bag and the second storage ring into it.
He gave the remaining one to Little Fairy Doctor.
Little Fairy Doctor was initially embarrassed, but under Xiao Zheng's insistence, she accepted it anyway: "Thank you, Brother Xiao Yan."
Xiao Zheng looked at Mr. Yao and said calmly, "I keep my word. Your life is yours now. Goodbye forever."
After saying that, he turned around, grabbed Little Fairy Doctor's hand, and leaped into the depths of the Monster Mountain Range.
With a few leaps, they disappeared into the dense forest.
Mr. Yao stood there, looking in the direction where the two had disappeared, his face ashen, his fists clenched, but he dared not speak out in anger.
Only after Xiao Zheng and Little Fairy Doctor had completely disappeared from sight did he slam his foot on the carport, letting out a furious roar of resentment: "Xiao Zheng! Little Fairy Doctor! I'm not finished with you!"
After his roar, he looked at the unconscious guards on the ground and could only sigh helplessly before rushing forward to check their injuries.
If he had known Xiao Zheng's true strength earlier, he would never have stopped him, much less come to this Monster Mountain Range.
As a result, his attempt to steal a chicken backfired spectacularly. Not only did he lose a lot of valuables, but he also had to pay for the medical expenses of two one-star Dou Shi guards. He suffered a huge loss!
