The monkey stole Tan Xiao and Chang Weicai’s Healing Mud and ran away.
Not only that, but he also emptied the gas from Tan Xiao’s motorcycle, seemingly afraid that Tan Xiao might wake up and chase him.
“That bastard! I knew he was a menace the moment he picked the lock with a wire!” Tan Xiao cursed, furious and frustrated. “A dog can’t change its habit of eating shit! Once a thief, always a thief!”
Merely cursing was not enough to express his inner grief. He wailed as he tore at his hair. “My precious mud! I’ve never even used it once!!”
The more he thought about it, the more upset he became.
Compared to Tan Xiao’s rage, Chang Weicai was calmer and earnestly comforted him, “Losses can turn out to be gains. As the old wisdom says, nothing is more blessed than a lack of desire, and nothing is more disastrous than a lack of contentment… O
Tan Xiao continued pulling his hair, completely not understanding what was said.
Chang Weicai sighed, then asked Shen Mo and Bai Youwei with concern, “Is
your mud safe?”
“Yes, it’s still here.” replied Shen Mo.
Hearing this, Tan Xiao felt more upset. “Did he target us specifically? Why only bully us?! Damn it!”
Annoyed by his constant complaints, Bai Youwei said, “If I were him, I would have chosen you two. One of you sleeps like a log without any guard up, the other is full of old bones and easy to knock over. Who else would he rob?” Tan Xiao felt wronged.
He conceded that Shen MO was formidable, and it was expected that the monkey dared not touch Shen Mo’s belongings. But what about Bai Youwei? Did she really look tougher than him, a frail girl?!
Bai Youwei gave a nonchalant yawn and said leisurely, “As for why my mud went untouched, it’s pretty simple to understand. He must have seen that I’m a pampered young lady. Given these harsh conditions, I certainly wouldn’t have a good night’s sleep, I could wake up at any time, so the risk for him is too high. Also, Shen MO was sleeping next door. If anything happened on my side, Shen MO would be alerted right away. So, of course, he wouldn’t be so reckless to target me.”
After finishing her explanation, she let out a cold chuckle and continued, “And don’t forget… just yesterday, he tried to get me and Shen MO on his side. Best keep some room when you act, just to avoid any unpleasant future encounters.
He did have this little wisdom.”
“Future encounters?” Tan Xiao, full of suppressed anger, could only threaten, “If I ever see him again, I’ll make him realise the consequences of messing with me!”
Bai Youwei didn’t care about his resolution. After another sleepy yawn, she pulled out the mud from her bag and casually threw it over to Tan Xiao—
Tan Xiao froze, but his body reacted faster than his mind and he caught it.
“Here you go, take it. There’s only one piece, you and Chang can share,” said
Bai Youwei indifferently.
Tan Xiao’s eyes widened. O
Not only him, Chang Weicai and Shen MO were also taken aback, looking at Bai Youwei in surprise.
“What are you all staring at me for?” Bai Youwei curved her lips and didn’t care, laughing dismissively, “Did you think I cared a lot about this thing? Hmph, it can’t cure my leg, what’s the use of keeping it.”
After a few seconds of silence, Chang Weicai tried to persuade her, “Don’t be impulsive… the mud may not look like much, but it’s really useful! It can heal 9 wounds! The world is becoming increasingly dangerous, having a piece of this mud can probably save your life someday. Please reconsider carefully.” Bai Youwei glanced at him emotionlessly.
Although she didn’t like his feebleness and nagging, she had to admire his ability to resist temptation.
Tan Xiao was greedy, but to take Bai Youwei’s mud clearly contradicted the code of his principles. Thus, he laughed, awkwardly, “I don’t know how can
I….what if we’ll experience a similar sort of game in the future…”
