Chapter 19: Scheming Devil
“Alright, stop flattering yourself! Quick, where have you been for the past month?”
Xiao Wu said, hands on her hips, standing out from the side, her aura fierce.
“Where else could I go? Just wandering around, digging up dirt, and if I happen to see a pretty girl, I might tease her a bit. Life is so wonderful…”
“Ugh… you’re no different from that lecherous tiger!”
Xiao Wu said in disgust, and Tang San could only smile wryly. Those two were never quiet when they were together.
“Don’t compare me to him, I’m pure and innocent! I’m still a virgin…”
“Disgusting!”
“You’re the one who’s disgusting, choosing a hotel with such a peculiar style. Are you trying to do something unspeakable with Xiao San while I’m away?”
Ling Mo dared to say anything, and as soon as he said that, Xiao Wu’s face instantly turned red! Tang San was speechless, wanting to explain but not knowing what to say.
“Oh, it looks like it’s true! You’re feeling guilty, aren’t you?”
“Pfft, you’re the one feeling guilty…”
“If you’re not feeling guilty, why are you blushing?”
They argued incessantly. At this moment, Tang San said, “Alright, you two, stop arguing!”
“Shut up!”
The two said in unison, showing a tacit understanding. Tang San was rendered speechless and felt a headache coming on.
“I can’t be bothered to argue with you. Xiao San! I have some things to attend to, so I’m leaving. I’ll see you at Shrek Academy tomorrow…”
With that said, Ling Mo shouldered his shovel and left.
Ling Mo didn’t want to disturb their good time, so it was better to go out and wander.
After leaving the Rose Hotel, Ling Mo shouldered his shovel and went around asking if there were any powerful nobles in Suotuo City and where their ancestral graves were buried.
It seemed this guy had gotten addicted to grave robbing, digging up people’s ancestral graves everywhere.
“Huh… this person looks familiar, could it be…”
After wandering for a long time, Ling Mo saw a strange shop. Upon entering, he found a person lying inside, with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks, looking utterly lecherous.
That shoe-shaped face was particularly eye-catching, and what was most special were his eyes, which were like an eagle’s.
“Wow, isn’t this that old ghost Flander? How did I end up in his little shop…”
After careful inspection, Ling Mo confirmed the other party’s identity. That’s right, he was the dean of Shrek Academy, Flander.
Entering the small shop, Ling Mo observed it carefully and found that there were quite a few things in the shop!
However, the only truly valuable item was a Board Crystal on the table, which belonged to Tang San, and Ling Mo didn’t touch it.
In his opinion, he didn’t need to snatch Tang San’s belongings; there was no point!
There were so many good things in this world. If you get rich by snatching the protagonist’s opportunities, doesn’t that prove you’re inferior to him?
“Hey, this shovel is nice!”
After looking around, Ling Mo’s gaze fell on a shovel on the shelf. He could clearly feel a faint Soul Power emanating from it.
This was a damaged Soul Tool, containing some peculiar Fluctuation of Soul Power.
“This thing should be quite fast for digging graves, right?” Ling Mo muttered, picking up the shovel.
Inside the shop, Flander, who was lying in a rocking chair, was startled by these words.
“Damn, where did this kid come from? He talks about digging graves right off the bat?”
His gaze, sharp as ever, watched Ling Mo’s every move. Ling Mo raised the shovel, swung it around, and seemed to be practicing how to dig graves.
“Hmm, not bad! Both in terms of power and speed, it has improved considerably. I’ll go dig up Spirit Hall’s ancestral graves another day, and I should be able to escape before anyone finds out…”
Ling Mo said with a laugh. That’s right, he was deliberately saying this for Flander to hear.
As soon as he said this, Flander almost fell off his rocking chair.
“This kid! Is he that bold?”
Flander thought to himself, if this kid really went to dig up Spirit Hall’s ancestral graves, he’d probably get dragged down with him, so he absolutely couldn’t sell it to him.
“Boss, how much for this shovel?”
Ling Mo spoke, directly asking the price. Flander continued to lie there, calming himself down, and pretended not to hear.
“Hey, you with the pointed mouth and monkey cheeks! Didn’t you hear me talking?”
Angered, Flander’s fury knew no bounds, but he thought of a Hegemon like Spirit Hall and immediately deflated.
“I’ll endure…”
He continued to pretend not to hear, cursing Ling Mo a thousand times in his heart. This kid was buying a shovel just to dig up ancestral graves.
Even if he was digging, he wouldn’t spare the graves of Spirit Hall! What did he want?
If this led back to him, and Spirit Hall knew that Ling Mo’s shovel was bought from him, wouldn’t they tear him to shreds?
No, no, he absolutely couldn’t acknowledge him, no matter how high the price offered, he wouldn’t sell it to him.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Flander, after so many years in business, was intimidated by a bratty kid for the first time.
“You’re ignoring me? Then I’m taking it?”
Ling Mo suppressed a smile and looked at Flander, who had his back to him and continued to pretend not to hear.
Good heavens, he was deliberately ignoring Ling Mo. Even if Ling Mo took the shovel, it would have nothing to do with him.
Even if Spirit Hall came after him, he would say that Ling Mo stole it! It had nothing to do with him.
“Hey…”
How could Ling Mo leave so easily? He walked forward and patted Flander on the shoulder. Flander was furious.
Was this kid doing this on purpose? He had pretended not to hear and let him leave, yet he deliberately came up and patted him.
“I’ll endure…”
He continued to pretend to be asleep, couldn’t hear! Stop bothering me.
“Still can’t hear? Is this guy with the pointed mouth and monkey cheeks deaf? If so, don’t blame me for being impolite…”
Ling Mo’s smile gradually became more unbridled, while Flander continued to endure, not knowing what this kid would do next.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Mo ransacked Flander’s shop and took all the valuable treasures.
As he was leaving, Ling Mo specifically called out, “If you still ignore me, I’ll take these things with me?”
He still didn’t respond. Flander continued to feign sleep, having already cursed Ling Mo hundreds of times in his heart! This kid was doing it on purpose.
“Haha, I’m going to die laughing!”
Leaving Flander’s shop, Ling Mo laughed so hard his stomach hurt, almost unable to catch his breath.
He never expected this Shady Businessman to be afraid of something!
It made sense, too. Who would dare to provoke a Force like Spirit Hall so easily? Even the Two Great Empires had to weigh their options.
Let alone Flander, who was just a mere Soul Sage. How could he possibly provoke them!
In the whole world, perhaps only Tang Hao, that simpleton, dared to provoke them. Besides him, no one else dared to so brazenly disregard the Authority of Spirit Hall.
Carrying a pile of treasures, Ling Mo casually tossed them into a Soul Tool. He also possessed a Soul Tool.
It was a Small Pot on his hand, which he had dug up during grave robbing. It was considered a relatively rare treasure.
It was much more precious than Tang San’s Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night, because at least Tang San’s couldn’t hold living things, but Ling Mo’s could.
This Small Pot was dug up by Ling Mo when he was robbing an ancient Tomb, and it was on that occasion that he was almost buried alive!
Although it was dangerous, the harvest was considerable. Ling Mo had robbed hundreds of tombs, big and small, over the years, amassing countless treasures!
Although he didn’t know what many of them were for, they could be sold for money! That was valuable enough.
“I should give the Board Crystal to Xiao San! I still have to fight Zhao Wuji tomorrow. If there’s no Dragon Whisker Needle and Xiao San gets beaten to death, Tang Hao will probably smash Shrek Academy…”
Ling Mo thought for a moment and decided to give the Board Crystal to Tang San.
After delivering the Board Crystal to Tang San, Ling Mo found another hotel to stay in, waiting for Shrek Academy’s Enrollment tomorrow.
Honestly, he didn’t really want to go to Shrek Academy, but he couldn’t refuse Master’s persistence, so he had no choice but to come.
Because he didn’t know how his Martial Soul would mutate later, following Master was the best choice.
