Chapter 67: Plunder
After Wang Jianlai left, Chuchu looked at Qin Feng anxiously.
“Brother, will the Lin family really send people after us?”
“So what if they do?” Qin Feng smirked mischievously. “Do we really have to sit here and wait for them to co? We’ll head into the city shortly.”
“You’re right!” Chuchu’s eyes lit up. “This is outside the city, where combat restrictions are loose. Once we’re inside, the Lin family can’t act recklessly.”
“Little girl, take a look at this!” Qin Feng suddenly pulled out a storage ring.
“This is…” Chuchu looked puzzled.
“The storage ring from that woman earlier!”
“Ah…” Chuchu’s eyes widened in surprise. Then, she exclaid with excitent, “Big brother, I didn’t even see you take it! How did you do it?”
“Don’t say it like that!” Qin Feng flicked her forehead playfully. “It’s not stealing—it’s taking!”
“Hehe, does it have a lot of good stuff inside?”
“Yes, there’s a low-tier elental weapon and so other decent items. Let take a closer look…” Qin Feng nodded in satisfaction as he examined the contents.
Chuchu watched him with delight, though soon worry crept into her expression. “Big brother, will she co back for it?”
“She better not!” Qin Feng sneered. “And even if she does, what can she do? Does she have any proof?”
…
anwhile, after leaving the defense zone, Lin Xue was hurrying back to the city. She needed to relay the shocking news to her cousin. It was clear that sothing had happened to Xuyang.
The thought of it made her feel uneasy. She could already imagine her cousin’s wrath once the truth was revealed.
“Huh? Where’s my storage ring…”
As Lin Xue glanced at her right hand by chance, she realized her ring finger was bare. Her storage ring had vanished without a trace!
Her face turned pale instantly.
That ring contains my elental weapon and the majority of my assets!
How can it disappear out of nowhere?
Panicking, Lin Xue started to retrace her thoughts. Even as a mber of a noble family, losing that much wealth was a heavy blow.
Could it have happened…
She suddenly recalled her clash with Qin Feng.
If she had dropped it, it must have been during that encounter.
Could Qin Feng have taken it?
If that were true, Qin Feng’s strength is far more terrifying than I realized. For him to take my ring without noticing…
How fast must his movents have been?
If he had intended to kill , I would likely have been defeated in an instant.
This realization sent a chill through Lin Xue’s body.
What now? Should I go back and demand it?
After a mont’s hesitation, Lin Xue dismissed the thought.
Previously, Qin Feng hadn’t hard her because Wang Jianlai was present. Returning alone now could lead to unpredictable outcos.
Moreover, she hadn’t noticed her ring was gone during their confrontation. If she returned now, how could she explain it? There was no evidence.
It seed she had no choice but to accept the loss.
The thought made Lin Xue’s heart ache, but she quickened her pace.
She had to inform her cousin so he could take action against that infuriating boy as soon as possible!
On the other side, Qin Feng finished inspecting the ring and tucked it away with satisfaction.
It contained plenty of valuable items—a delightful surprise.
“Little girl, take this!” Qin Feng casually handed her a bottle of pills.
“Brother, what’s this?”
“Look—there’s a label on the bottle. Read it for yourself!”
Chuchu examined the side of the bottle and broke into a joyful smile after reading it.
The pills were called Ice Spirit Pills, a rare cultivation resource for ice elent practitioners. They could accelerate ice solidification for ice body cultivators or enhance the power of a one-star ice elental master.
“Wow! Brother, where did you get this?” Chuchu exclaid excitedly.
With her Divine Ice Fruit, she could soon begin cultivating her ice elent. The Ice Spirit Pills would greatly accelerate her progress.
“Where else? From that woman, of course!” Qin Feng replied with a smile.
The Ice Spirit Pills were sowhat useful to him, but not significantly so. That’s why he gave them to Chuchu, hoping she could complete her ice body transformation sooner.
After all, Qin Feng could absorb ice-elental beast cores, sothing Chuchu couldn’t do that.
“Hehe! Brother, I heard a single Ice Spirit Pill costs 100 million! And there are three in this bottle—that’s 300 million! That woman must be heartbroken!”
Chuchu was overjoyed.
In this world, cultivation resources were exceedingly scarce, making them incredibly expensive.
Qin Feng, however, shrugged nonchalantly. To him, the effect of 50 Ice Spirit Pills wouldn’t compare to a single low-tier beast core.
Resources like this were plentiful and easy for him to obtain.
“All right, little girl, put it away now!”
“Mm!” Chuchu happily tucked the pill bottle away.
At that mont, a powerful surge of water-elent energy rippled from the place where Liu Yan was in seclusion.
Chuchu was delighted. “Brother, it’s Sister Yan! She must have broken through to the early stage of two-star Elentalist!”
“Let’s go! Let’s check it out!”
The siblings made their way toward Liu Yan’s seclusion chamber.
As they arrived at the door, Liu Yan erged with a look of joy on her face.
With one glance, Qin Feng could tell that she had indeed reached the early stage of the Two-Star Water Elentalist.
She had successfully broken through.
“You’re back!” Liu Yan greeted him warmly, her eyes lighting up.
But then, her face inexplicably flushed red.
She recalled this man’s boldness last ti, which left her with a lingering impression. It was almost… nostalgic. Unfortunately, Chuchu was present.
Seeing her, Qin Feng gave a slightly awkward smile.
“Sister Yan, congratulations on reaching two-star!” Chuchu cheerfully congratulated her.
Her happiness was genuine; the two won had built a close bond over ti.
“Not bad at all!” Liu Yan was in high spirits.
“By the way, while I was in seclusion, I thought I heard sounds of a fight outside. Did sothing happen?” Liu Yan asked suddenly.
“Uh… Sister Yan, soone from the Lin family ca by earlier…” Chuchu briefly recounted the events.
After listening, Liu Yan was furious. “They think they can just take my people? Even if the city lord ca, they wouldn’t dare! Who do they think they are?”
Ridiculous!
Chuchu is my money tree!
Anyone who dares to touch Chuchu will have to deal with my wrath.
“Chuchu, if the Lin family dares to do this again, just let know. I’ll make sure they regret it!” Liu Yan declared fiercely.
“Uh…” Chuchu was a little dumbfounded. “Sister Yan, but that’s the Lin family…”
“Hah! So what if it’s the Lin family?” Liu Yan scoffed dismissively.
Qin Feng gave her an intrigued glance.
This woman sure knows how to talk big.
“Sister Yan, how strong is the Lin family, really?” Qin Feng suddenly asked.
This was what he truly cared about.
“The Lin family is considered fairly strong in Yunyang Base City. They have three counts, two viscounts, and over a dozen barons and lesser nobles,” Liu Yan replied nonchalantly.
Hearing this, Chuchu nervously glanced at Qin Feng.
The Lin family has so many elentalists!
Three counts ant three three-star experts, and viscounts represented four-star experts.
Qin Feng asked again, “Sister Yan, aside from Lin Jianhao, who is the other four-star expert in the Lin family?”
“It’s the old patriarch of the Lin family, Lin Jianhao’s father. Rumor has it that the old patriarch is at the peak of four-star mastery and is currently in seclusion, aiming to break through to five-star.”
After hearing this, a trace of fear flickered in Chuchu’s eyes.
A peak four-star expert!
If he broke through to five-star, the number of people in Yunyang City who could restrain him would be countable on one hand.
The so-called laws and regulations would beco aningless.
Laws and rules existed only to bind the weak.
Qin Feng also frowned slightly.
The Lin family was stronger than he had anticipated.
It seed he needed to purchase more elental beast cores as soon as possible.
Although the Lin family’s old patriarch was in seclusion and unlikely to erge for now, a clash between them was inevitable in the future. Qin Feng had to enhance his strength quickly.
“Sister Yan, I plan to take my sister into the city for a bit.”
“Oh? What for?”
“To upgrade our statuses.”
Liu Yan’s eyes lit up. “Perfect! I just advanced to two-star and can upgrade to a viscount. Let’s go together!”
Chuchu chid in excitedly, “That’s great! Let’s go together!”
