Chapter 302: Chen Changsheng Imprisoned, Xuanwu Alliance’s Attitude
Facing such a situation, Lin Lang instantly sealed off their retreat.
“Friend, what did you take out just now?”
“You should have seen it, Hundred Flavor Fruit and Black Honey!”
“Did you steal these things?”
“Yes.”
“Since that’s the case, you probably won’t get away today.”
“No problem, we’ll go into prison ourselves.”
Listening to the young master’s straightforward response, Lin Lang frowned.
He couldn’t see through this person’s true intentions.
Committing such a huge crime, yet coming forward voluntarily, what could he be up to?
Although he didn’t understand immediately, finding the culprit was hard work, so Lin Lang still threw them into jail.
…
Prison.
“Bang!”
The heavy prison door slammed shut, sealing Hu Tudou and Chen Changsheng inside after their cultivation was sealed.
Suddenly becoming prisoners, Hu Tudou was instantly displeased.
“Little Master, look at the rotten idea you came up with! We’ve both been locked up.”
Facing Hu Tudou’s complaints, Chen Changsheng grinned and said, “So what if we’re locked up? It’s no big deal, just rest.”
“Here.”
Chen Changsheng took out a new string of candied hawthorns.
Seeing the delicious food, Hu Tudou’s eyes lit up.
Just half of the candied hawthorns were eaten when they were snatched away, which was why Hu Tudou was angry with Chen Changsheng.
“Where did you get this from? Your storage bag was confiscated, wasn’t it?”
“Don’t worry about that, do you want to eat or not?”
“Eat!”
Hu Tudou quickly snatched the candied hawthorns from Chen Changsheng’s hand and happily began eating.
That feeling of being a prisoner had long since dissipated.
To Hu Tudou, as long as there was good food, being locked up was bearable.
Watching the little fox’s happy expression, Chen Changsheng found a comfortable position to lie down.
Everything was ready; how they would proceed next was up to them.
…
Outside Xuanwu City.
An elder and three human experts blocked the dense army of demons.
Among the demons were the chief of the Mighty Donkey Clan and the Human-faced Bee Empress.
In addition, there was the first demon in Western Central Hezhou, Hu Qiuyue.
Looking at the demon army, which outnumbered his side tenfold, the elder stepped forward and bowed.
“Madam Hu, the demons’ actions are indeed not done by our Xuanwu Alliance.”
Upon hearing this, Hu Qiuyue, lying on the giant fox’s back, glanced at the elder indifferently, “Whether it was the Xuanwu Alliance or not, I’m not clear, nor am I interested in knowing.”
“In Western Central Hezhou, if the Fox Clan makes a mistake, someone will come to Qingshan for an explanation.”
“Now that humans have done this, shouldn’t I ask the Xuanwu Alliance for an explanation?”
Hearing this, the elder was speechless.
Such a situation should have been easy to handle.
Steal something, return it, punish if necessary, compensate if needed, all according to the rules.
But the problem was that the incident was too big.
Even if the Xuanwu Alliance wanted to make a private compensation now, it wouldn’t be possible.
If they opened this door, others might follow suit.
In that case, even with mountains of gold and silver, the Xuanwu Alliance wouldn’t be able to handle it!
Thinking of this, the elder’s face turned serious, “Indeed, this matter wasn’t done by the Xuanwu Alliance, and we haven’t found the culprit yet.”
“Madam, what should we do about this matter?”
Upon hearing Hu Qiuyue’s words, she played with her hair absentmindedly.
“I haven’t thought about how to handle this yet, the most important thing is what you will do.”
“There are three days left, within these three days, I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer.”
“If the answer doesn’t satisfy me, you’ll bear the consequences.”
Just then, Lin Lang rushed out of Xuanwu City in a hurry.
He approached the elder and whispered something, his excitement clearly visible.
Listening to Lin Lang’s words, the elder was initially delighted but soon frowned.
“Master, what are you hesitating about?”
Seeing his master hesitating, Lin Lang urged him.
However, facing Lin Lang’s urging, the elder looked at Hu Qiuyue and said, “Three days later, our Xuanwu Alliance will accept the challenge from the demon clan.”
After saying this, the elder was about to turn and leave.
Facing his master’s direct approach to battle, Lin Lang was filled with confusion.
Looking at the Xuanwu City behind him and the powerful demon clan in front, Lin Lang’s gaze turned cold.
“Madam Hu, the thief who stole the demon clan’s treasure has already been captured and is currently in the Xuanwu City prison.”
“This is evidence proving the thief’s theft.”
As he spoke, Lin Lang threw the half-string of candied hawthorns.
“Madam Hu, you once said that as long as…”
“Slap!”
Lin Lang’s words were cut short as a bright red palm print appeared on his face.
“Wretch, get back here!”
Facing his enraged master, Lin Lang’s eyes were full of resentment.
“Master, what’s wrong with what I did? I just…”
“Slap!”
Another loud slap, this time the elder struck harder.
“If you dare say another word, I’ll disown you!”
This time, Lin Lang didn’t continue speaking but silently turned and returned to Xuanwu City.
Looking at the half-string of candied hawthorns in her hand, Hu Qiuyue smiled and softly said, “Zhengyi, your disciple seems to know how to seize the moment.”
“Before coming here, I said that if the humans retreated.”
“Now I still hold the same view, humans, retreat!”
Facing Hu Qiuyue’s words, the elder Zhengyi did not speak but turned and walked away directly.
After the Xuanwu Alliance people left, Hu Qiuyue handed the half-string of candied hawthorns to the Human-faced Bee Queen beside her.
“This is your unique hundred-flavor honey, take a look, take a good look.”
Taking the candied hawthorns from Hu Qiuyue, the Human-faced Bee Queen’s expression was very serious.
Hundred-flavor honey was indeed precious, but it could regenerate.
To put it simply, the Human-faced Bee Clan occasionally sold some of it to exchange for what they needed.
Given the thief’s strength, he didn’t need to go to such lengths.
A high-level expert like him could easily visit in person to obtain it.
Even without exchanging anything, the Human-faced Bee Clan would still provide some.
Because of this, at least they could maintain a good relationship with a high-level expert.
The same situation applied to the Mighty Donkey Clan’s Hundred Flavor Fruit.
Yet, this expert chose the worst method.
This matter was far from simple!
The half-string of candied hawthorns went around and eventually returned to Hu Qiuyue’s hand.
Anyone who had seen this string of candied hawthorns had a very serious expression.
Looking at the candied hawthorns with tooth marks, Hu Qiuyue gently bit into one.
“The taste is really good!”
“Order the troops, three days later, if the Xuanwu Alliance does not retreat, break through Xuanwu City!”
