Chapter 397 Robbery
Chapter 397 Robbery
Di Xing walked along the road, feeling dejected. He understood that he hadn't gotten the rare prize he wanted because he hadn't made it into the top three, but what did it mean that he hadn't even been given a single Spirit Jade?
He only received a dingy black pass, which, according to Yin Fa who presented him with the award, allowed him to enter anywhere on campus, except the girls' dormitory and the bathhouse.
Damn it, judging from the look of disgust on Yin Fa's face when he presented him with the award, Di Xing thought he could at least go to the bathhouse... Damn it, what's the point of this pass if he can't go to those places anyway?
Moreover, none of the top three winners came in person; instead, their students accompanied them to receive their awards! Bai Xi and the other girls immediately ran off to play hand-in-hand after the awards ceremony, leaving him alone, bewildered in the wind.
Di Xing walked out of the Duel Academy gate feeling very depressed, when he suddenly heard some noise coming from the surrounding alleys.
I went over and peeked inside. I saw three burly men cornering a girl who was hugging a plush toy against the wall.
The girl said in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry, I really don't have any money."
Wow~ It's that school's old trick of thugs robbing people of money!
Di Xing couldn't help but recall a similar experience from his childhood. Two older students would block him and demand protection money. In the end, Di Xing escaped at the cost of having his new school uniform torn, crying as he complained to the teacher, his parents, and the police all in one fell swoop.
Then Di Xing led the police officers to the two older students who were still at the scene. In front of the police officers, he demonstrated again how he escaped from their clutches—by breaking all five fingers on their other hands.
Tsk! Looking at it this way, I was quite extraordinary even as a child. Di Xing thought to himself as he looked behind him.
"Ha! The cat you're holding looks like an expensive breed. Since you say you have no money, give us the cat and let us sell it!"
"No, Pike... Pike is my friend, I can't give him to you!" The girl shook her head desperately, tears welling up in her eyes.
"B-Big brother, I want to rob...rob some women," said the man with the short buzz cut and a dazed look among the three, his saliva practically drooling.
"Help!" the girl screamed in terror.
"Let go of that girl!" At the crucial moment, Di Xing made a dashing entrance.
"Who are you?" The gang leader turned around, looking at him with displeasure.
In a typical Dragon King storyline, the Dragon King should stylishly announce his name at this moment, then swiftly defeat these people, rescue the damsel in distress, and win the girl's heart.
However, Di Xing is not the Dragon King.
Di Xing revealed an evil smile, then made a move with his left hand.
In an instant, Lian Shi, Xian Yiji, Li Hai, the little dinosaur, Bai Chen, and Ming Mu flew out from behind him.
"Holy crap!" Seeing five burly men and an unidentified creature jump out from the opposite side, the thugs were terrified and tried to run away, but it was too late.
A group of men pinned the thugs to the ground and began beating them severely, while Di Xing leaped into the swirling dust.
The thug leader cursed angrily, "You! You gang up on me! You bastards! You shameless scoundrels! Grandpa! Grandpa, I was wrong! Stop hitting me! Stop hitting my face!"
While the girl holding the cat stared in disbelief, the three thugs were beaten black and blue, and then they grabbed their leader fiercely, shouting, "Where's the money? Hand it over right now!"
"Sir, I have no money."
"If you have no money, why resort to robbery? Here's what we'll do: use your body to pay off your debt. I'm kind-hearted, so let's say you owe me 100. I'll punch you, and that'll be one cent in return."
"Spare me, sir!"
Xian Yiji simply searched the unconscious thug's body. "So poor, not even a single gold coin."
"Me too, I'm so poor, I only found 10 yuan. Let's each buy an ice cream later," Di Xing complained as he searched another thug.
The girl holding the cat, watching Di Xing and his gang's "heroic" actions, couldn't tell for a moment who the real villain was.
"Senior Bai Chen, Senior Ming Mu, what brings you here too?"
"I came to ask you about the whereabouts of the fox-eared girl I rescued from the auction house, and then," Bai Chen kicked the thug on the ground twice, "I just went with the flow and that's it."
"So there really are animal-eared girls?" Mingmu snorted, "By the way, I came to you to borrow the Black Pass."
"Um," the girl holding the cat tentatively began, afraid they might rob her again soon.
"Oh? It's nothing. We were just doing a good deed, don't worry about it," Di Xing smiled at her.
The girl holding the cat was completely bewildered. She subconsciously pointed to the 10 yuan in Di Xing's hand.
"Oh, this? Here, take this dollar. It's for your company. Buy an ice cream later, okay? Don't tell the teacher!"
"Uh..."
"By the way, what's your name?"
"My name is, Aragaki Ai... Ai-chan, just call me Ai-chan!"
Aragaki? Is that the same surname as Aragaki Yui, the goddess from Dixing? Actually, Aragaki is a Chinese surname.
"Okay, Xiao Ai, here's the 1 yuan of stolen money."
Xiao Ai, startled, hurriedly waved her hands and backed away. "No, no need. Thank you so much for saving me, but I have urgent business to attend to. Goodbye!" Xiao Ai turned to run away, and then...
"Di Xing! The Grand Yin-Yang Master is here!" Lian Shi shouted.
"Damn it, the wind's getting strong, let's run!" Di Xing and his gang took off running, grabbing the cat-cuddling girl along the way.
"Waaaaah, why do I have to run away too?" The girl hugging the cat was on the verge of tears.
"Stop right there! You students are so obedient! You're practically model students!" The principal, waddling around with his belly, chased after them frantically, still hurling sarcastic remarks.
Di Xing and his group eventually split up and ran away. For some reason, the director chased after him relentlessly. After finally shaking off the director, he arrived at the abandoned factory where Xia Luo's family lived, where Ai Xiao and the others were already waiting for him.
This abandoned factory wasn't very large, consisting of only one large workshop and a few auxiliary buildings, covering an area of about 5 acres. The factory was built to a very good standard, and even after being unused for a long time, the main structure remained without any problems.
"Let's go in," Di Xing said to Xia Lu.
"I...I dare not," Xia Lu trembled with fear, her chest heaving. "I...I saw a worker being thrown out of the factory, but I didn't see anyone touch him. We...we have to exorcise the demon before we can go in."
"Oh, right, we happen to have a demon-slaying girl here." Di Xing looked at the expressionless Li Fei Hua Yue, only to see that the latter was also secretly trembling.
"Aren't you a demon-slaying girl? Why are you afraid of ghosts?!"
"I'm a demon-slaying girl, not a ghost-hunting suicide squad!" Li Fei Hua Yue said angrily, while secretly hiding behind Di Xing.
Di Xing glanced at the still-shining sun, sighed, and said, "Never mind, I'll do it."
Di Xing walked into the empty factory, calmed himself down, and began chanting a spell.
May God bless us with mountains of gold and silver, and may our path be filled with hope!
"Heaven teaches us to ignore the fierce battles of the martial world."
Everyone was like, "???"
