Chapter 126: Chapter 125 Harvest
The next morning, at the break of dawn, Shao Zifeng opened his sleepy eyes on the hammock and gazed blankly at the sky.
His head was resting against sothing soft, and the fresh air mixed with the scent of flowers and grass slowly activated his stiff thoughts.
Turning his head slightly, his face pressed directly against the little deer, whose fuzzy fur made him feel like sneezing.
The little deer, deep in sleep, gradually opened its eyes that were like erald gems, and locked gazes with Shao Zifeng. The pupils seed to hold a spinning starry sky within, entrancing anyone who looked into them from such a close distance.
“Good morning, little deer,” Shao Zifeng said as he reached out to rub the little deer’s head, greeting it with a chuckle.
“Yo!” replied the little deer, nuzzling his large hand in response.
...
Having had a good sleep and waking up to find his own pet by his side was truly comfortable
It felt so laid-back, Shao Zifeng stretched on the hammock and started looking around at his surroundings.
Tsk.
An open-air forest view room, huh? This little hammock has quite a vibe, like sothing out of a fairy tale. The little white flowers at the head of the bed are quite stylish, but that water tower is obviously not…
Water tower…
“Holy shit!”
Shao Zifeng sat up abruptly, and Lingling, who was sleeping soundly on his stomach, was sent flying.
“Hee!”
Lingling flew back rubbing its eyes and discontentedly tugged on Shao Zifeng’s hair, playfully.
Ignoring Lingling’s antics, Shao Zifeng sat on the hammock in a daze, his mind drifting off.
How could he have fallen asleep again?
There wasn’t soone who had taken advantage of him yesterday, was there?
If anything had happened, Dragon City County might beco the next Su City.
Could I possibly be the legendary Child of Calamity…
Gradually, Shao Zifeng’s eyes once again beca hollow.
Lingling and the little deer exchanged looks, feeling sowhat helpless. What an unreliable master he was, prompting the little deer to resort to its secret weapon!
Shao Zifeng shivered all over and realized that now was not the ti to space out, so he quickly cast aside the random thoughts in his head and rolled out of the hammock.
Clang.
The crisp sound of tal clinking interrupted Shao Zifeng’s movent, and as he looked down, he saw a pile of coins at his feet glistening in the morning light.
Uh.
Shao Zifeng was a bit stupefied…
“Heehee~”
At the sound of the coins clashing, Lingling’s eyes lit up. It cheered and dived into the pile, swimming above the coins with eyes full of joy. It was just a pity that it couldn’t touch non-living entities.
“Little deer, what’s going on here?” Shao Zifeng fell silent for a mont, then turned his head to look at the seemingly reliable little deer.
The little deer slightly turned its head aside, not eting his gaze, and lifted a hoof to point at Lingling.
Only then did Shao Zifeng notice that the red wallet hanging around the little deer’s neck was now bulging.
Shao Zifeng took a deep breath, put on a kind smile, “Lingling, where did this money co from?”
Lingling’s smile froze, and it looked at Shao Zifeng warily, like a little beast protecting its food.
The atmosphere turned sowhat silent for a mont.
Lingling looked at Shao Zifeng in front of her, her large eyes showing a struggle, and after a mont, feeling a bit of empathy, she controlled a vine and pushed two-thirds of the coins toward Shao Zifeng.
Watching the pile of shiny coins moving away from her, Lingling felt her heart shatter. She had spent the better part of the night stealing… borrowing them, and as she thought this, mist filled her eyes.
Seeing this, Shao Zifeng shook his head, both annoyed and amused. He squatted down and poked Lingling’s belly a few tis, “Cough, I don’t want your money, I’m just asking where it ca from.”
Upon hearing this, Lingling’s expression brightened and she quickly gathered the two piles of coins. Then she floated in front of Shao Zifeng, gesticulating with her tiny hands and babbling sothing to him.
Hmm…
He didn’t understand.
Shao Zifeng’s empathic abilities were strange, rarely sensed unless the emotions were intense, but if soone bore malice towards him, he could easily lock onto them.
So to communicate, he had to actively initiate his ability. Because Lingling was so eager to explain, as soon as he made contact, sequences of images transmitted into his mind.
Hiss.
As he flipped through those movie-like sequences, Shao Zifeng couldn’t help but inhale sharply. This little creature was ruthless, the blood, those teeth… whoa, that guy is a werewolf! And he’s licking a kitchen knife with a wound in his mouth, which definitely had snake poison on it.
After skimming through the scenes in a flash, Shao Zifeng closed his eyes and sat aside to sort through the events.
Seeing that it had nothing to do with her anymore, Lingling flew back to the pile of coins, happily playing.
Sensing that Shao Zifeng had sunk into contemplation, the little deer that had almost finished nibbling the flower at the head of the hammock breathed a sigh of relief. To prevent Shao Zifeng from detecting its excessively active emotional fluctuations, the little deer had ground its teeth to nubs.
On Shao Zifeng’s side, he processed the massive amount of information, growing more surprised as he sorted, and at the end, he rubbed his forehead with a bit of a headache.
Yesterday, after he had fallen asleep, the two little ones felt pity seeing him so exhausted and decided to help him drive those people away.
However, they hadn’t expected the intervention from the supernatural authorities during the dayti to significantly increase the number of people roaming the streets at night.
Even Lingling, who had found a way to wealth, beca utterly annoyed in the end.
After robbing the people and tying up the Combat Training Master, with the pets losing their teeth and being hung on vines behind the departnt store as a warning, they finally cald down.
Shao Zifeng opened his eyes and first looked beneath the hammock, where various items Lingling deed useless were piled up.
He only glanced over them roughly, and sparkling spots in his peripheral vision began to stir; it seed there were quite a few good things inside those large and small packages.
He even saw a pile of ssy paper money and only then did Shao Zifeng realize that in Lingling’s eyes, only coins were considered money.
When he first saw so much paper and coin currency, Shao Zifeng was sowhat puzzled, wondering why, in this era of advanced online paynts, anyone would carry so much cash with them.
But after pondering a bit, he understood that if the illusion was real, then the old man accounted for everything by hand, and it must have indeed been a headache for Dragon City’s underworld to carry so much for transactions every day.
Getting up and walking to the edge of the rooftop, Shao Zifeng saw a long-haired man lying on his back on the ground in his line of sight, and a few Wood Thorns with people hanging on them by vines not far from him, and several pets thrown below, beaten and battered; the scene was truly… extraordinarily bloody.
He didn’t know how Lingling ended up learning so many… strange things from soone.
The sky was growing lighter, and before long, the supernatural authorities would arrive.
Fortunately, most of the signs of the fight had already been cleaned up by the little ones, but they couldn’t deal with the vast amounts of bloodstains. Shao Zifeng, emulating what he had done the day before, used flas to turn the bloodstains into powder and scattered them into the air.
Hmm…
After folding up the hammock, there were a few more holes on the rooftop; patching them up should be no problem, right?
Anyway, it was the last day, and if anything ca up, he would leave it to Brother Chen tomorrow.
Having happily made his decision, Shao Zifeng packed all the items into two large bags. It was a good thing his physique had been enhanced; otherwise, the weight of those coins alone would have been too much for him.
After jumping down from the rooftop and feeling the bloodshed up close, Shao Zifeng felt a bit dizzy from the horror of it all.
After releasing the vines and having the little deer administer so simple treatnts to the people, Shao Zifeng carried the two large bags and hurried ho.
