94: Chapter 94 Stealing the Scepter? The Junior Priest is Tied Up Like a Rice Dumpling

Luofeng Village was still in a state of excitement.

The queue in front of the entrance to the Elf Secret Realm was like a long dragon. The trading area was filled with players rushing to buy herbs and nature equipment. The world channel was scrolling so fast that the words were illegible.

On the earthen slope.

Ling Xi held Lin Yueyao, a soft smile on her lips.

The little girl had just finished sending out a wave of server-wide benefits and was now snuggled in her swaddle, her small hand resting on that elf high priestess scepter. The nature crystal nucleus at the top of the scepter pulsed with a soft green light, yet it exuded a pressure that no one dared to underestimate.

Lin Chen held that thousand-year dragon egg, sitting beside them and swinging his little legs, boasting in a milky voice.

“My younger sister is the most amazing.”

The surrounding players were queuing up to give gifts while looking eagerly toward the earthen slope.

“Her Highness Yueyao is too cute.”

“She can send out announcements and benefits right after being born, who can resist this!”

“I told you, none of Big Shot Lin's children are simple.”

Amidst the bustle, several figures quietly blended into the crowd.

They wore ordinary player robes and had intentionally covered their heads with hoods, keeping their faces low, but their movements were constantly pushing toward the earthen slope.

There were four of them in total.

They didn't squeeze through quickly, but they were very steady.

Each time, they used the gaps during player cheers and movements to inch forward half a step.

Xing Jianwan was standing behind the side of the slope. She was originally watching the order at the secret realm entrance, but her eyes suddenly turned cold.

“Something's wrong.”

Lin Zhe's gaze swept over indifferently.

He didn't even need to ask.

The player information panels had already popped open automatically.

[Target: Silvermoon Remnant One]

[Faction: Expelled Elf Clan Remnants]

[Status: Intense Malice]

[Target: Silvermoon Remnant Two]

[Faction: Expelled Elf Clan Remnants]

[Status: Intense Malice]

The two behind them were the same.

They were all remnants left behind after Prince Silvermoon was expelled from the Elf Race.

Lin Chen saw them too, and his little face darkened.

“It's them again.”

Ling Xi's originally gentle eyes instantly turned a few degrees colder.

“They still dare to come.”

The four people, however, did not know they had already been exposed.

They stared fixedly at the priestess scepter in Lin Yueyao's hand, their eyes filled with greed and madness.

“As long as we snatch the scepter...”

“The Elf Clan will definitely still recognize it.”

“At that time, even if that little girl is the Great Priestess, she won't be able to suppress us.”

“Move fast, while there's a crowd, grab it and run!”

The four exchanged glances and suddenly exerted force at the same time. Using the crowd as cover, they charged straight toward the slope!

“Three meters!”

“Two meters!”

One of them even reached out his hand, aiming directly for the scepter in the swaddle!

Some players nearby finally noticed and immediately cried out in alarm.

“Holy crap! Someone's stealing the scepter!”

“Are you looking for death!”

“Stop them!”

But they were too close and moving too fast; the ordinary players couldn't react in time.

Just at the moment that hand was about to touch the scepter.

Lin Yueyao didn't even lift her eyelids.

The little girl just cutely extended her small hand and casually pointed forward.

“Bad.”

The next second.

Boom!

The ground suddenly exploded!

Several emerald-green vines, as thick as arms, burst out from the soil like venomous snakes, their speed so fast they were mere afterimages!

“What?!”

Before the first remnant could even retract his hand, his wrist was tightly coiled by a vine!

Immediately after, the second, third, and fourth vines pounced instantly!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The four people's screams were half a beat slow; in the blink of an eye, they were tied up securely.

And it wasn't just a normal binding.

Those vines were covered in fine barbs. As soon as they tightened, they dug deep into their flesh!

“Ah—!”

“It hurts! It hurts so much!”

“Let go! Quickly let me go!”

The vines didn't give them any chance to struggle and suddenly flicked upward!

Whoosh!

Like four broken hemp sacks, the four people were directly hung upside down from the large maple tree at the village entrance.

Head down, feet up, swinging messily.

The barbs dug deeper and deeper. The four men wailed like ghosts and howled like wolves, their faces turning green with pain.

The entire scene went silent for a moment.

The next second, it erupted in laughter!

“Hahahahahaha!”

“Hanging from the tree again!”

“This familiar recipe!”

“Stealing the Great Priestess's scepter? Did a wild wolf gnaw on your brains!”

The world channel instantly exploded with messages.

“The Silvermoon Remnants tried to steal the scepter and were tied to a tree by a finger from the little priestess!”

“It's even thorny vines, they're screaming from the stabs!”

“That little girl didn't even move, and she hung them up!”

On the slope, Lin Yueyao slowly blinked an eye as if nothing had happened, continuing to hug the scepter and shrinking into Ling Xi's embrace.

Ling Xi lowered her head to kiss her small face, but her gaze was extremely cold.

“Daring to touch Yueyao, you're looking for death.”

Lin Chen stood up holding the dragon egg, his little face fierce. With a wave of his hand, an announcement light screen appeared.

Buzz—

[Server Announcement: Remaining remnants of Prince Silvermoon maliciously infiltrated Luofeng Village, attempting to seize the elf high priestess scepter; the evidence is conclusive]

[Punishments are as follows]

[One: Permanently ban all server-wide permissions of the four involved parties]

[Two: Permanently strip them of trading, dungeon, event, teleportation, and speaking privileges]

[Three: Listed on the server's highest blacklist]

As the announcement fell.

A crimson notification popped up in front of the four people simultaneously.

“No!”

“Server-wide permissions?!”

“We were wrong! Spare us!”

“Archon Lin! Your Highness Yueyao! We won't dare to do it again!”

Lin Chen put his hands on his hips and huffed in a milky voice.

“Stealing my sister's things.”

“You deserve it.”

The Great Elder of the Elf Clan was so angry his beard was shaking.

He had just personally handed over the elf high priestess scepter, and someone dared to come and steal it already?

This wasn't slapping Lin Yueyao's face.

This was slapping the face of the entire Elf Race!

The Great Elder suddenly raised his staff, his voice cold.

“Come!”

“Confiscate everything these remnants own!”

“Every hiding spot, private property, and former subordinate related to them—leave none, liquidate them all!”

“Furthermore, strip them of all remaining status in the Elf Race and exile them to the Dark Forest, never to return!”

Several elf guards in the back bowed together.

“As you command!”

The four remnants hanging from the tree completely broke down.

“Don't!”

“Elder, have mercy!”

“We just wanted to take back what belongs to His Highness Silvermoon—Ah!”

Before the words were finished, the vines suddenly tightened another loop.

The barbs stabbed in fiercely.

The four were in so much pain that tears flew, and their voices cracked from screaming.

The surrounding players were laughing so hard they couldn't stand straight.

“Belongs to your grandpa!”

“Prince Silvermoon has already deleted his account, are you still dreaming?”

“Steal my ass, keep them hanging!”

“Quick, take a picture! This is a classic scene!”

A bunch of recording stones and screenshot light screens were all aimed at the maple tree.

Someone even posted a title on the world channel on the spot.

[Silvermoon Remnants overestimating themselves, failing to steal the scepter and receiving a complimentary hanging package]

The comments exceeded a thousand in an instant.

“Hahaha, they brought it on themselves!”

“Did they forget that the little priestess herself is the embodiment of the Great Priestess's authority?”

“Stealing the scepter? She raises a hand and you're gone!”

On the slope, Lin Zhe watched the four people crying for their parents on the tree with a calm expression.

The thread of Prince Silvermoon was now completely severed.

From now on, no blind elf remnant would ever use that expired royal dream to mess with Lin Yueyao.

Lin Yueyao held the scepter, appearing a bit sleepy, her little head rubbing against Ling Xi's chest.

Lin Chen leaned over and whispered, “Sister, you were so majestic just now.”

The little girl hummed drowzily and even patted the scepter with her small hand.

Under the large maple tree at the village entrance, the four remnants were still screaming miserably from the barbs.

The surrounding players, however, were already laughing together, taking photos and spamming the chat, making it extremely lively.

Meanwhile, the elf guards had already taken their orders and turned to speed away out of the village.

Clearly, this confiscation and exile would not just stop with the four people on the tree.
