Baby Serendipity: The Whole World Fell In Love With Me-Chapter 717 - 716: Are You the Robbers?
Chapter 717: Chapter 716: Are You the Robbers?
Indeed, there was a road robbery outside the city, but it wasn’t any kind of bear demon.
Mianmian could tell at a glance that the one blocking their path was just an ordinary person. He was simply dressed in a grey bear skin, with a bear head perched on his own.
"Halt, this is your Bear Grandpa’s turf, hand over your silver and valuables quickly!"
The man in bear skin roared, waving his "bear paws" to and fro. If it were an ordinary person, they might truly think he was a black bear turned demon.
Mianmian frowned and said helplessly, "Why do people always like to pretend to be demons?"
Su Ji also found it strange, "I don’t know what people are thinking, they’re so scared of demons, yet they push the blame for their own misdeeds onto demons."
That "black bear" saw that the two families he stopped didn’t seem afraid at all, and the two children even started chatting, so he frowned and raised his voice, "Can’t you understand what I’m saying? If you don’t hand over your things right now, your Bear Grandpa will have to use my demon magic!"
No sooner had the "black bear" finished speaking than some stones flew out from a nearby tree, aimed directly at them.
Such little stones, Mianmian didn’t even take them seriously. With a light swing of her sword, Sword Qi deflected all the stones back.
With that move of hers, the "black bear" was flabbergasted.
The Black Bear Gang had been ambushing this road for over five years. The commoners, seeing stones falling from the sky, without thinking, would leave their money and previous treasures behind, begging and pleading for their lives.
He then pretended to be only interested in the money and didn’t harm anyone.
The "black bear" knew it was all because ordinary people were especially afraid of demons and dared not confront them.
But obviously, the individuals he hassled today were not ordinary people; even a child could reflect stones back with a sword, these people must be cultivators!!!
Realizing this, the black bear didn’t dare to say anything more and turned to run.
Jiang Yao saw the "black bear" trying to escape, chuckled, and closed her folding fan.
The next second, the "black bear" saw an extremely handsome and tall man standing in his way.
Blocked in this direction, the "black bear" took another route, but after only a couple of steps, he saw a beautiful girl blocking his path. Changing direction again, it was the same...
Realizing he was surrounded, the "black bear" knelt down with a thud, kowtowing and crying, "Noble sirs, please, spare me! I’m just a bandit, I happened upon this bear skin suit and wore it to scare people, that’s all; I’ve never killed anyone, fairies please, spare me."
To prove he wasn’t a demon, the "black bear" untied and removed his bear head and skin, revealing a face with a scruffy beard.
"Pleading for mercy is useless, you’ve robbed so many people, Mianmian is going to take you to the authorities."
Mianmian indeed planned on doing just that. If demons were robbing people, she would punish them so they wouldn’t commit such crimes, lest they meet a real cultivator like Daoist Master Ling Xiao and get in trouble. If it was a faux demon, she would take the person to the authorities for punishment.
The "black bear" was very distressed upon hearing that he would be handed over to the authorities.
After so many years of robbery, what good could come from being sent to the authorities? He continued to plead for mercy, portraying himself as very pitiful: "Noble fairies, I was forced into this, my family has sick parents who need medicine, and a three-year-old child waiting for me to bring food... I won’t dare do it again, please spare my life, I beg you, spare me."
While the man was kowtowing, Mianmian suddenly frowned and looked towards the road they had walked on.
A familiar figure was approaching, with a sword already drawn, ready to strike at any moment.
"Isn’t that Ling Xiao?" Su Ji still remembered the Daoist Priest, frowning he said, "Mianmian, to avoid unnecessary complications, let’s leave."
But Mianmian shook her head, "No need, we can beat him now, there’s nothing to fear. And Mianmian has something to thank him for."
Su Ji was taken aback, had Mianmian received help from Ling Xiao?
While Su Ji trusted Mianmian’s words, he still had no fondness for Ling Xiao, standing protectively in front of his parents, ready to fight Ling Xiao at any moment.
As Ling Xiao drew near, he too recognized the two children in front of him.
His eyebrows knitted together as he watched the four big demons warily, then stopped and called out, "People in the town said that there was a demon robbing people on this road; I came to see. Could it be you two?"
On hearing this, Mianmian very unladylike rolled her eyes grandly.
Pointing at the "black bear" on the ground, she said, "Daoist Master Ling Xiao, how can you still be so foolish after so long? It’s obviously him who’s been robbing people."
That "black bear," looking back at Ling Xiao’s robust build and Daoist attire, with a sword in hand, immediately knew that this Daoist Priest was also tough to handle. He swiftly thought of a plan and began to wail, "Daoist Master, you must stand up for me, I was just passing by, and these people insisted I give them money! Seeing you coming, they claim I was the one robbing, heaven knows my plight, just now they even wanted to beat me for not giving money!"
After this outburst, Ling Xiao’s gaze fell on the "black bear."
Glancing at the bear skin on the ground and looking up, he said, "I apologize for the misunderstanding; you are not the demon robbing people."
Mianmian lifted her small chin, "It’s good that you realize it was a misunderstanding. This man is a bad guy who stole a lot, and there are others in the trees, catch them all and send them to the authorities."
Hearing Mianmian speak so straightforwardly, with not a hint of fear, Ling Xiao realized she must have assimilated the Demon Emperor’s Demon Pill. He couldn’t see Mianmian’s cultivation base clearly, but could tell that those around her were still demons.
These demons...
Ling Xiao’s fingers twitched, surprised he said, "Did your parents truly come back to life?"
Mianmian nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, both Mianmian’s and Su Ji’s parents are alive."
Ling Xiao fell silent again.
Mianmian had been in the Demon Realm for so long, and only after the Demon Emperor’s death were their parents successfully resurrected in the bodies of demons, which proved that the current ruler of the Demon Realm had a good relationship with Mianmian. They hadn’t continued to attack the Human Race, probably still organizing the Demon Clan.
If at this time... they took the opportunity to attack the Demon Clan, would there never be any demon invasions into the Human Realm again?
As Ling Xiao contemplated the possibility of this idea, he said, "Alright, I will take these bandits to the authorities. But what brings you to the Human Realm this time?"
"For fun," Mianmian answered directly, "If not for fun, why come here?"
The Human Race doesn’t welcome the Demon Clan, they came to play secretly, wasn’t that allowed?
It was just a coincidence that they were seen by Ling Xiao again.
