Lin Tianyin screamed on the inside. She didn’t expect those guys to find them so quickly! She knows that if they opened the door now, they would be caught with all the goods. Fortunately, Milona is the heroine, maybe she can get along with the prince after blinking her big eyes. As for Lin Tianyin, she has to be locked in prison until the world is destroyed… No, maybe she doesn’t need to be shut down, she will just be executed directly!
“What to do, what to do!”
“Maybe they’re just checking door-to-door, they may not know that we did it.”
Ah Fu anxiously pulled his hair, while Milona is still naively holding a hint of delusion, but Gagaf shook his head, calmly he said, “many people in this town know of Ah Fu’s habits, and with him here, they’ll be more suspicious of us, so the most crucial thing at the moment is to not let the soldiers find out that we are staying with Ah Fu.”
‘Finally, someone who has a normal brain in the team’ Lin Tianyin lamented in her heart. She climbed onto the window as soon as she grabbed the monkey and the money bag and told the rest, “Come on, follow me.”
“Where are you going?” Ah Fu asked looking a bit anxious, his eyes completely trained on the money bag in Lin Tianyin’s hand, as if he was afraid that Lin Tianyin would run away with the money and never come back.
“Going incognito.”
After Lin Tianyin said this, Gagaf had already painfully pulled up Milona and climbed out of the window sill. Ah Fu watched at a loss for words as they disappeared from his view until the knock at the door became louder and louder when he finally remembered to run to the door in a panic.
“Why did you keep us waiting for so long?!”
Outside the door stood aggressive soldiers with spears, who swept around the house warily. Ah Fu smiled and scratched his ears, “Sorry, I was in the middle of taking a dump ……”
“Is your poop so big, that it took you that long!” The soldiers one by one looked very unhappy, they stared at Ah Fu fiercely, “You do know that you have a criminal record, right? The boss of the black market has already spilt. Be honest, were you involved in the robbery of the prince this time?”
“Absolutely not! My monkeys all ran away because they had nothing to eat!”
Ah Fu waved his hands repeatedly, denying everything. But the soldiers didn’t believe him at all and began to search the room with suspicion.
Ah Fu could not help but breathe out nervously, he was glad that the money bag was hidden away with the adventurers from the other village.
While escaping Ah Fu’s house in a flash, Lin Tianyin held the monkey while nervously looking around to make sure that they were not targeted by the pursuers.
Milona insisted that they should return the money to the prince, but Gagaf interjected, saying she was stupid. “Even if we pay back the money now, the prince may not be willing to let us go, and what about Ah Fu’s sister?”
“So what do we do…” Milona said, fidgeting.
“What else can we do, let’s hide first.” Lin Tianyin said softly. The soldiers can’t find the money bag anyways, they won’t take Ah Fu. At least this is not the Middle Ages, so they won’t mess around ……
They stand out too much when together, so Lin Tianyin decided to separate from Gagaf and Milona. With Milona, the original heroine, absent, their overall aura will be much smaller and Lin Tianyin will not encounter the main characters. But the monkey still followed Lin Tianyin.
She put the money bag in her backpack, hoping that this damned prince would quickly leave this town. Aren’t they going to the Nameless Village to find the descendants of the legendary sage…
As a complete fatty, Lin Tianyin has no interest in shopping anymore, so she skipped around the street twice before planning to go back and see what happened. This drawing… Who will recognise the person drawn on it? Lin Tianyin feel sweaty, if this was painted by the head of the Knights, then he is too funny ……
As she was approaching Ah Fu’s house with Milona and Gagaf, Lin Tianyin saw the house surrounded by a group of fierce men. At the sigh, the monkey in her arms squeaked in fear and Lin Tianyin was busy trying to silence the monkey, carefully hiding back towards a corner.
“Do not make a sound,” she whispered to the monkey. The monkey, as if it could understand human speech, nodded in panic.
What’s going on over there? Lin Tianyin peeked over and saw Ah Fu kneeling in front of the group of men, crying out in pain, “I really don’t know ……”
“Don’t play dumb, our lord knows it was you. The prince said a monkey robbed his wallet, it was your monkey, right?”
“It wasn’t me!” Ah Fu bit the bullet and denied it. A man with a scar on his face kicked Ah Fu in the stomach, and Ah Fu knelt in pain as the group let out a laugh.
“Be smart and hand over the money bag, so that Master Drew might be kind enough not to report you to the prince. Or else you’ll stay in jail for the rest of your life and never see your sister again.”
“…………”
Ah Fu wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, he breathed in deeply, then looked up at the group reluctantly, “Will Master Drew give me back my sister if I hand over the money bag …………”
“Hahahaha! Why would he do that!” The group laughed loudly, “At most, you are guaranteed not to have to go to the big jail. As for your sister, you must slowly earn money to be able to have her back, we all know that the monkey you raised will steal things. Next time be lucky, don’t steal from such a noble person, hahahahahahahaha ……”
Those animals, they actually tried to steal this money from the prince!
Lin Tianyin, who was hiding and eavesdropping on the conversation, was filled with anger and had to suppress the urge to rush out and beat them all up. She knew she had to control herself now, she must not be impulsive.
“…………” Ah Fu lowered his head, clenched his fists hard, and didn’t say a word amidst the jeers of the group.
“Hmph, we’ll give you some time as well. Have the money ready by noon tomorrow. The master will send someone to pick it up. Do not try to sneak away with the money unless you never want to see your sister again.”
‘Sister, shmister. They just keep threatening Ah Fu using his sister!’ Lin Tianyin saw that Ah Fu’s hands were shaking, he didn’t say a word as he watched those people leave the entrance of the house. When they finally left completely, he finally started crying.
“Wu …… wu wu ……”
The monkey in Lin Tianyin’s arms broke away from her and ran directly towards Ah Fu. Seeing Lin Tianyin walking towards him, Ah Fu sniffled and wiped away his tears looking at Lin Tianyin. “I don’t want to-”
“Hmm.” Lin Tianyin responded. She sat next to Ah Fu and said softly, “I’m also not willing to give Drew the money and follow their words for nothing like this.”
“But what can I do!” Ah Fu hit the ground hard, shaking his head out of frustration. “If I don’t give the money to Drew, I will never see my sister again! Damn it… If only those bad guys disappear!”
“Then let make them disappear,” Lin Tianyin continued indifferently.
Lin Tianyin was so calm, Ah Fu could not help but be dumbfounded. He froze and looked at the fat girl, a little angry: “How can you say that?! That’s easier said than done ……”
“It can be done,” Lin Tianyin glanced at Ah Fu and gave him a faint smile. “It’s just a matter of whether you want to do it or not.” Her face was fleshy, but this Lin Tianyin caused Ah Fu to waver for a moment.
“Since we accidentally met and helped you to the end, for you who called me a good person,” Lin Tianyin yawned and said leisurely, “How about you tell us what your sister looks like.”
Ah Fu was stunned by Lin Tianyin’s boldness. She actually planned to break into Master Drew’s house directly to rescue his sister. Yes, with such a sum of money he could definitely leave this town with his sister, but this plan was too crazy! Do these three people in front of him really plan to do something that dangerous? Just for him?
“Don’t worry about us, we will definitely save your sister.”
Milona smiled gently like the holy mother she is, patting Ah Fu’s head. For a plan as crazy as Lin Tianyin’s, Milona and Gagaf surprisingly did not oppose to it one bit, and even happily agreed to join in. Well, they are brave people who want to save the world after all.
“But Master Drew’s house has a pack of ice field wolves in the dungeon that eat people whole without even spitting the bones out!”
Ah Fu was still a little scared, but the holy mother Milona seems to be more excited than anyone else, clenching her fist to give Lin Tianyin a pep talk.
“What ice field wolf! Shanoa is a warrior who defeated a dragon! Don’t be afraid to get hurt and be brave Shanoa! I shall assist you with my healing powers.”
Lin Tianyin heart is a little speechless. Well, now it’s up to the long-range fighter to do a good job too. Although this team consists of simple villagers, they at least have an archer—unless Gagaf is not up for the job.
“Uh…I’ll do my best.” Fortunately, Gagaf still has a working conscience. He really intended to let Lin Tianyin, who’s responsible for close combat, do all the work by herself.
The young man scratched his head and said a little uneasily, “What we need to worry about now is that the prince and the head of the knights are still staying over at Master Drew’s house, so when should we go? I have a feeling that the leader of the knights would be much more difficult to handle than the ice wolves…”
“It’s fine, the head of the knight order’s eyesight musn’t be too good…… anyways, as long as you don’t go face to face with them.” Lin Tianyin made an OK gesture and grinned. “But if push comes to shove, we’ll continue to plan B.”
