Chapter 18 Abducting the Auspicious Beast
When he spoke, everyone turned to look at him.
Recalling how this human had once beaten him black and blue, the Red King still felt a little scared, but it hid this emotion very well.
"Human, what do you mean?"
"It's nothing, it's just that we feel you're too conspicuous by following us, and that you're likely to cause trouble."
Red King: "..."
What are you saying? What kind of talk is this? Do I look like the kind of beast that causes trouble?
"No, what if something happens to the auspicious beast? Can you take responsibility?"
"Oh, why are you so long-winded? It's not like I can't protect myself."
Seeing that the Crimson King looked down on her, Lin Qiu'er was very unconvinced. Although she only had 5000 years of cultivation, ordinary 5-year-old soul beasts were no match for her.
Snow Empress bent down and picked up the huffing Lin Qiu'er, a kind smile on her face. It was very rare to see a smile on this icy beauty's face.
"Don't worry, the auspicious beast is safe and sound," the Snow Empress said to the Crimson King.
She reached out and gently stroked the fluffy little head, while Lin Qiu'er squinted her eyes, looking very content, and appeared exceptionally obedient in her arms.
Seeing this, the Crimson King hesitated, and after a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice, "In that case, I entrust the safety of the auspicious beast to you. It is a bit mischievous, so I hope you will be lenient with it."
Now that the Snow Empress has made her stance clear, the safety of the auspicious beasts is definitely not a problem. The Ice and Snow Maiden's strength is still formidable.
The Red King stopped trying to stop them, and the group immediately prepared to leave. What Lin Ye didn't notice was that a dry branch fell from the big tree above their heads.
As luck would have it, the branch hit him squarely on the head.
Lin Ye clutched his head, hissing in pain, but he didn't think much of it, simply assuming it was just bad luck.
No one noticed that Lin Qiu'er's eyes were darting around, a sly smile playing on her lips.
After leaving the Starry Sky Forest, travel about 100 kilometers to reach a small town.
As the saying goes, "those who live near mountains live off the mountains, and those who live near water live off the water." This town survives by relying on the Star Dou Great Forest, and the main customers of the shops in the town are Soul Masters who travel to and from the Star Dou Great Forest.
Upon entering the town, Lin Ye and his group immediately felt the bustling atmosphere, with numerous roadside vendors and a constant stream of shouts.
Nestled in Xue Di's arms, Lin Qiu'er peered around curiously at the unfamiliar surroundings, finding them fascinating.
Just then, a woman inadvertently saw Lin Qiu'er, who looked like a kitten, in Xue Di's arms.
Huh? What is this thing? It looks like a cat but not a cat, and it doesn't look like a fox either. It's just a strange, indistinguishable thing.
Regardless, Lin Qiu'er's looks were still amazing, top-notch, and the woman immediately felt a surge of affection for her.
So the woman stopped the group and asked Xue Di, "Young lady, what kind of spirit beast are you carrying? Could you sell it to me?"
Hearing that this human wanted to buy her, Lin Qiu'er was displeased and wished she could bite him.
Xue Di was also displeased, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly.
Lin Ye, on the contrary, found it amusing. To be honest, the three-eyed golden lion is incredibly good-looking. Buying one as a pet would be a pretty good idea.
With that in mind, he asked the woman with interest, "How much money are you willing to pay?"
Lin Qiu'er's eyes widened. What did this mean? This despicable guy really wanted to sell me out?
The woman tentatively extended a hand. "50 gold soul coins, how about it?"
Ah! Lin Ye almost burst out laughing. A dignified auspicious beast, the little ancestor of the Star Dou Great Forest, is so lacking in prestige?
……
This was just a minor incident. After Lin Ye saw the woman off, he felt hungry and his stomach was empty.
So the group found an inn to fill their stomachs.
The meal was not enjoyed in a peaceful manner.
When the waiter was serving the dishes, he suddenly slipped, and a plate of cold dishes spilled all over Lin Ye, with even the juice splashing onto his face.
Ouch!
The waiter, supporting his aching back, stood up. One glance at what he saw terrified him, his legs practically spinning.
These people must have extraordinary origins to be able to keep soul beasts as pets.
I'm doomed. I've offended the Soul Master. My life is over.
Thinking of his fate, the waiter immediately knelt down, pleading, "My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life!"
While apologizing, he kept kowtowing.
It's easy to see that this person was genuinely frightened.
Lin Ye: "..."
At this moment, his face was splattered with juice, his whole body was soaked, and he smelled sour and spicy.
He wiped the juice off his face, looked at the waiter who kept begging for mercy, and after a long silence, said, "Alright, I won't do anything to you. Take me somewhere to change my clothes first."
Upon hearing this, the waiter was moved to tears and thanked him repeatedly.
As Lin Ye stood up, he noticed Lin Qiu'er secretly smiling, and a hint of suspicion arose in his mind.
By evening that day, the group had already returned to Nottingham.
As soon as I stepped into my own yard, bad luck struck again.
A bird flew across the yard, and just then, a pile of bird droppings landed...
Lin Ye noticed something was wrong, and when he turned his gaze, he saw a bird dropping on his shoulder by sheer coincidence.
vomit……
Lin Ye vomited on the spot, and then quickly took off his jacket, which was stained with bird droppings, and threw it away.
At this point, Lin Ye was certain that something was wrong. Why was he so unlucky today? Why did he encounter all these strange and absurd things?
How could I, a Soul Master, not notice the branch falling? And how could Xiao Er have slipped and fallen, making me the victim? And why did bird droppings have to land on me?
Something's not right, this is really not right.
As the saying goes, you can do it once, twice, but not a third time. There's definitely something strange about what happened today.
Lin Ye turned his gaze to Lin Qiu'er, wondering if this girl had cursed him or something, since she could control other people's luck to some extent.
When he looked over, he saw Lin Qiu'er secretly laughing, her eyes darting around.
Lin Ye grabbed Lin Qiu'er by the arm and asked angrily, "Tell me, were you behind this?"
Lin Qiu'er looked completely innocent. "Ah, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
She said that, but she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.
Damn it! Lin Ye was so angry he jumped up and down, but he had no evidence to prove that Lin Qiu'er was the one making fun of him.
Night, the moon is like a scepter, and the sky is full of stars.
Even when it was time for bed, Lin Ye didn't forget to carry Lin Qiu'er back to his room.
Of course, Lin Qiu'er has not yet taken human form, so there are certain despicable things she cannot do.
This guy wasn't shy at all; like a little kitten, he lay comfortably on the blanket, curled up in a ball, and slept soundly.
The next day, early in the morning.
"Ah, you bastard, what did you do?" The high-decibel voice made the whole room buzz.
Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor immediately rushed to the scene.
Then the two women saw Lin Qiu'er and Lin Ye get into a fight.
However, this was clearly just a joke. If they were to get serious, given the difference in their abilities, Lin Ye would have been defeated long ago.
Xue Di symbolically went up to break up the fight, cradling the small body in her hands.
"Let me go, let me go..." Lin Qiu'er kicked her legs wildly, looking very defiant.
Xue Di gently stroked her little head, "Alright, alright, stop fooling around."
"Sister Snow Maiden, he cut my fur while I was asleep, waaaaah..." Lin Qiu'er nestled in Snow Emperor's arms, crying pitifully.
At this point, you can see that there is a small bald patch on her back, indicating that the hair has been shaved off.
Snow Emperor: "..."
