Chapter 137: Happy cooperation, we will see you again
noon the next day.
The Wen family's car was waiting outside the Qimingyuan store.
Wen Feiyu in the car was not dressed up as elaborately as she was when she saw Yu Jiajia.
She had no makeup on and wore a cotton jacket and cotton pants, for fear that the other person would fall in love with her.
Wen Feiyu glanced at the time and muttered, "Why hasn't the mysterious person Jiajia mentioned come yet? Is he going to stand me up?"
Not long after he finished speaking, a slender hand knocked on the car window.
Wen Feiyu rolled down the car window and looked over. It was a man wearing a mask and wrapped tightly. She asked tentatively, "Are you the man Jiajia was talking about?"
"It's me, let's go in and talk."
"okay."
Since he was introduced by Yu Jiajia, Wen Feiyu chose to trust him unconditionally.
Without any precautions, he followed the masked man.
The two entered through the gate and saw a garden. The vegetation here changes with the season. Even in winter, there are still flowers in full bloom.
The yard was very large, and the two passed by a pavilion.
The man sitting inside was not wearing a military uniform as usual, but a knee-length windbreaker with a lazy style. It was winter, so it didn't look out of place sitting there wearing more clothes, so Luo Shiyu didn't notice him when he passed by.
Of course, the man didn't notice Luo Shiyu who was wrapped tightly.
The two of them came to the private room on the second floor that had been booked in advance. The decoration inside the room was similar to that of an ancient restaurant. Luo Shiyu chose a seat by the window.
Waiting was a bit boring, so I tapped the table with my fingers and looked out the window with my chin in my hand.
From a distance, a silver figure was seen entering the garden.
[Here it comes! Here it comes! The walking bounty is here!]
Luo Shiyu suppressed his excitement and waited for him to fall into the trap.
The thief stopped halfway.
[Why did it stop? Did it discover something?]
When Luo Shiyu was worried, a familiar figure walked out of the pavilion.
[Holy crap! Why is that big ice cube here?]
Luo Shiyu then remembered that he had made an appointment with He Gui to have dinner here.
Feeling somewhat guilty, he picked up the menu, half covering his face with it, and took a peek at it.
Daoqishi saw Hegui panic for a moment, but he quickly calmed down and greeted Hegui with a smile: "Commander He."
He Gui looked a little unhappy. He didn't like Luo Shiyu calling him Commander He, as it felt like there was a gap between them.
"Don't call me Commander Crane outside."
"Ok."
Say less and make fewer mistakes, which is the purpose of stealing, deceiving the teacher and pretending to be someone else.
Just as she was about to find an excuse to leave, He Gui grabbed her wrist and took her to a private room.
The two sat down and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.
He Gui pushed the menu towards him and said, "Order it. These pastries are quite delicious."
"Then..." Daoqishi was a little hesitant, after all, he didn't know what Luo Shiyu tasted.
"If you can't decide, then have one of each."
"okay."
The thief pretended to look at the menu, but in fact he was looking for an opportunity to escape.
And He Gui kept staring at him.
"I feel like something's not right with Luo Shiyu today. He's less energetic, and..."
Her eyes looked at the pair of emerald earrings on his ears.
Does Luo Shiyu have pierced ears?
He reached out to touch him, but Daoqishi subconsciously dodged.
He Gui withdrew his hand, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
"I didn't feel angry, nor did my heart beat fast. I don't like Luo Shiyu anymore? How is that possible?"
While He Gui was thinking, Dao Qi Shi found an excuse to leave.
"I'm going to the bathroom."
"Ah."
He Gui agreed verbally, but still felt something was wrong, so he followed quietly.
This is not the way to the bathroom.
I just watched him go into another private room.
〖Luo Shiyu also made an appointment with someone else?〗
I felt inexplicably displeased and wanted to chase after him and catch him in the act.
When he saw the guy in the mask, he understood everything.
While no one was paying attention, he returned to the private room, turned on the intelligent brain, controlled the mechanical dragonfly, and watched their interaction.
As soon as Daoqishi entered the private room, he greeted Wen Feiyu eagerly, "Feiyu, nice to meet you. You are indeed a beautiful lady, as your name suggests!"
Wen Feiyu started to retort, "Which eye of yours saw my beauty? Do you have any misunderstanding about this word?"
Luo Shiyu suppressed his laughter and tried hard to reduce his presence.
The thief clutched his chest, his eyes filled with sincerity. "I admire your beautiful heart even more. From the first time you spoke for me, I fell deeply in love with you."
[Ugh! Stop talking nonsense in my face!]
"If you tell this to an 80-year-old lady, she won't believe you. What's going on? Are all the women in the world dead? How could you possibly fall for me?"
[Hmm... Feiyu, you're being too self-deprecating.]
"No one can predict the outcome of a heartbeat."
Wen Feiyu's eyes were rolling up to the sky, and she kicked Luo Shiyu with her leg under the table, signaling him to act quickly.
[Xiao Hei, can you open a ghost zone here? ]
Xiao Hei: "No, Wen Feiyu will be dragged into it as well."
[Forget it, let’s wait a little longer.]
Luo Shiyu kicked her back and signaled her to wait a little longer.
Apparently, the young lady didn't get it. She was a little unhappy about being kicked for no reason and yelled at him, "What are you doing!"
The thief then noticed Luo Shiyu, and after seeing his mask, he turned and ran away. (He deliberately led Luo Shiyu away)
Luo Shiyu let out a "Tsk!" and summoned Xiao Hei to chase after him.
Wen Feiyu was still in a daze.
"What's going on?"
He ran away and they chased him.
Luo Shiyu found the right time and ordered Xiao Hei to open the ghost domain.
Xiao Hei threw the sickle above him and shouted, "The ghost realm unfolds! Ninefold Purgatory!"
The surrounding scenes changed instantly, the winter chill disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by the scorching heat.
Luo Shiyu and Xiao Hei landed smoothly on the pumice stone.
Daoqishi's body was unstable and a little embarrassed, but he managed to stand firmly.
Luo Shiyu said proudly: "I caught you, let's see where you can run!"
The thief played dumb and said, "We have no grudges against each other, why are you arresting me?"
"Why do we want to arrest you?" Luo Shiyu took off his mask, pulled off his hat, and shook his hair.
The two look exactly the same.
"Now, do you know why I want to arrest you?"
The thief smiled, not panicking at all, and said calmly: "I have been in this business for so many years, and this is the first time I have been caught by the real boss. It is embarrassing."
"That's good to know. I advise you to go back and exchange the reward with me."
Daoqishi was a little confused and asked, "Reward? Are you arresting me just for money?"
"Or else?"
Dao Qishi looked at the mask in Luo Shiyu's hand. That was a priceless treasure, but he still cared about the small reward?
"If it's all about money, it's easy. I'll pay double the price and redeem myself. How about that?"
How much? Double? No need to split it 70% with a big ice cube... great deal!
Luo Shiyu nodded and agreed: "Okay, but you have to transfer it to me now and return the stolen items."
"It's a bit difficult. A lot of things have been used up."
"Used it? Give back the unused one."
"No problem." Daoqishi offered him an olive branch: "Well, let's add each other as friends!"
"why?"
"Maybe we'll have plenty of opportunities to work together in the future! It's all about money!"
"I do it for the money, but I won't do anything bad."
"You have principles! I like it!" Daoqishi took off the human skin mask with a wig attached, and his long black curly hair cascaded down, his emerald eyes were particularly charming.
He put his hand on his chest, bent down slightly, and greeted Luo Shiyu.
"When we first met, I named myself Xu Yu. I'm a mixed race of Eastern and Western races, a slave who escaped from the First City. I have no household registration and no name."
Xu Yu smiled and continued, "That's why I've been living under someone else's identity."
Luo Shiyu sympathized with his situation, but sympathy could not cover up what he had done.
"Is this your excuse for stealing other people's things?"
"No! I never steal people, and I steal things to save people."
"Rescue?"
"I have funded several orphanages. Everything I do is to ensure that everyone has equal status, at least there should be no slaves."
"You want to rescue those people in the lower city?"
"Yes, I want everyone to have freedom. If I tell you this, you might think I'm bragging. If there's a chance, I'll invite you to my base to see what's going on. I hope you'll be willing to cooperate with me."
Luo Shiyu did not agree and declined, "Let's talk about it later."
"If you want to talk about it, please agree to my friend request first!"
The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and Luo Shiyu pressed the agree button.
He really couldn't understand why Xu Yu came to him.
"Why did you borrow my identity to get close to Wen Feiyu? What is your purpose?"
"I happened to see her speaking for you on the forum, and after some research, I learned that she's the eldest daughter of The Ninth City. My target is the Wen family's magical artifact, called 'Pandora's Wishing Box.'" (Lie)
Hearing this, Luo Shiyu laughed awkwardly and advised, "Give it up. The box is not in the hands of the Wen family now."
"How did you know?"
[Because it's in my hands! Stupid!]
"With your ability, can't you just go over and steal it?"
"The prerequisite for stealing is knowing where the item is."
"That's right." Luo Shiyu thought for a moment and asked, "Then what's your ability to change appearance?"
"Are you interested?"
"of course."
Xu Yu took off the emerald earring on her right ear, handed it to Luo Shiyu, and said, "Here, this is my ransom for redeeming myself."
"Just an earring, and you want to..."
Xu Yu interrupted him: "Read it first."
Luo Shiyu used his intelligent brain to scan the earrings on his palm.
"Howl's Earring - Right" can transform clothing and accessories into nano-scale form and store them inside, allowing you to instantly change clothes at any time."
[Great stuff! This way I can use "Shenlin" anytime, anywhere without having to worry about clothes not fitting or being exposed.]
Luo Shiyu accepted the earrings with great satisfaction and lifted the ghost realm.
"You go."
Xu Yu looked at his ransom being accepted, smiled meaningfully, and said, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."
As the ghost domain disappeared, Xu Yu turned around and turned into a pigeon and disappeared.
His voice echoed in the air.
"We'll meet again, Luo Shiyu."
