100: Qiu Rang: Where is my Ruyi?

As night fell, Biyou Village had now fallen into a state of silence.

On the streets of Biyou Village, Feng Baobao, with a backpack slung over her shoulder, was riding a tricycle.

After stopping the tricycle, Feng Baobao walked into a room, and in just a moment, she came out carrying a villager who was tied up, and threw him onto the tricycle.

The villager could only whimper because his mouth was stuffed with rags.

“Woo woo woo!!!”

Feng Baobao grabbed a large cloth and covered him.

During this time, she kept repeating the action, and soon the tricycle was piled high like a small mountain.

Just then, a villager woke up wanting to relieve himself, and as he pushed open his door, he saw Feng Baobao.

“Yo, Great Master, it’s so late, why aren’t you sleeping?”

Feng Baobao blinked and said very calmly:

“Collecting goods...”

The villager scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.

“Huh? Collecting goods? So late at night, what goods are you collecting?”

Feng Baobao mysteriously beckoned to the villager.

The villager grumbled a bit and then walked towards Feng Baobao.

“This little girl is so eccentric, what’s going on with her?”

Feng Baobao had a wrench hidden behind her back, and as soon as the villager got close, she immediately struck him hard.

Perhaps because he was young, the villager fell asleep instantly.

His sleep quality was excellent.

She skillfully threw the villager onto the tricycle, then hunched over and continued pedaling the tricycle.

Riding the tricycle, Feng Baobao hummed a tune as she passed the village entrance, placing all the villagers one by one by the roadside...

“What in the world is this crazy woman doing?”

Qiu Rang, watching Feng Baobao’s actions, couldn’t help but fall into thought.

They had noticed Feng Baobao kidnapping villagers in the village, but she didn’t seem to have any intention of harming them, so Qiu Rang wanted to see what exactly Feng Baobao was up to.

Just as Qiu Rang was about to step forward, Feng Baobao’s figure suddenly disappeared.

“Oh no!!”

Then a strong gust of wind came, and Qiu Rang immediately ducked his head, barely dodging Feng Baobao’s sneak attack.

Seeing that her attack missed, Feng Baobao immediately stepped forward and engaged Qiu Rang in close combat.

Because of the sudden attack, Qiu Rang never had a chance to use his Magical Artifact, so he could only rely on his fists and feet for close-quarters combat with his opponent.

The two exchanged several rounds, and Qiu Rang forced Feng Baobao back with a punch, driving her away.

“Hmph! Don’t think that just because I’m an Artifact Refiner, my close-combat skills are lacking.”

Qiu Rang looked at Feng Baobao with a smug expression.

“Little girl, didn’t you expect this? Artifact Refining is my talent, but close combat is also my hobby!”

Saying that, Qiu Rang reached for his lower back.

“Next, let me show you my Treasure Trove!!”

??

“What the heck!? Hey!!!”

“My...”

“Where’s my Ruyi?”

“Where’s the Ruyi I just finished making?”

Qiu Rang frantically searched for his precious Ruyi, while Feng Baobao, beside him, nervously wiped her nosebleed.

She casually pulled out the Ruyi that was tucked into her back pocket, staring blankly at the gilded Ruyi in her hand.

Feng Baobao tried multiple times to activate the gilded Ruyi, but after fiddling with it for a long time, she realized she didn’t know how to use it.

Qiu Rang immediately burst into curses:

“Feng Baobao! You damn brat!! When did you steal my gilded Ruyi!?”

Feng Baobao looked at the Ruyi in her hand, then at Qiu Rang beside her, and directly hugged the Ruyi to her chest, shaking her head repeatedly.

Qiu Rang was instantly filled with rage and indignation.

“Give me back my Jade Ruyi right now!! Petty theft! Where’s your shame!? You have no shame left!”

“Big brother… this wasn’t petty; I’ve been eyeing this thing for a long time.”

“Ever since I first saw this thing, I’ve been coveting it.”

“Fourth Brother said, ‘Tuck it in your butt pocket, not your waistband; those are things nobody wants, so you can take them freely.’”

Facing Qiu Rang’s words, Feng Baobao responded with righteous indignation.

Seeing Feng Baobao act so shamelessly, Qiu Rang could no longer bear it. He took out several Magical Artifacts from his Storage Pouch and charged at Feng Baobao.

Seeing Qiu Rang’s expression, Feng Baobao turned and ran, heading towards the center of the village.

“Feng Baobao!! Stop right there!! Don’t run!!”

Qiu Rang pursued Feng Baobao, and the Magical Artifacts floating around him continuously unleashed fierce attacks, all of which Feng Baobao dodged one by one.

Boom! Boom!

The commotion caused by their fight woke up many villagers. They came out of their houses and approached Qiu Rang.

“Great Master Qiu Rang, what in the world happened? What’s going on?”

“Yeah! It looks like you’re fighting someone.”

... Qiu Rang completely ignored what the villagers were saying, only shouting at Feng Baobao ahead.

“You little thief!! Give me back my Ruyi right now! Otherwise, I’ll make sure you regret it today!”

Feng Baobao, running at the front, turned her head and shouted:

“Big brother… you should think carefully, if I were to return it to you, why would I have taken it in the first place?”

Qiu Rang was stunned by these words, but he quickly reacted.

“Nonsense!! You stole my Treasure Trove! That’s just wrong!! Stop right there, Feng Baobao!!”

Feng Baobao kept leaping back and forth between the houses, while also shouting continuously:

“Fire! Fire!”

Some villagers heard Feng Baobao’s shouts and quickly put on their clothes and ran outside. Some timid villagers even ran out without fully pulling up their pants.

“Fire!? Where’s the fire? Where is it?”

“I don’t know, I heard someone shouting fire, so I ran out to see.”

“Where is the fire?”

... “Oh, why are you all in such a hurry? I’m setting it now.”

Seeing all the villagers run out, Feng Baobao directly set the rooftops on fire. Because many villagers’ houses were very close together, the fire quickly spread, connecting them all...

The fire continued to spread, and everyone in Biyou Village was thrown into chaos. Feng Baobao also took the opportunity to disappear into the crowd.

In a hidden corner, Feng Baobao whispered into her earpiece, reporting:

“Report! Under my clever arrangements, Biyou Village is now in chaos.”

“Excellent work, Baobao!”

Black Tube’s voice came through the earpiece, and then Black Tube immediately said to everyone:

“Everyone! The time has come, act immediately! Prepare to move!”

“Understood!”

“Understood!”

... Upon hearing Black Tube’s voice, all the temporary workers sprang into action.

Zhang Chulan walked unsteadily, hands in his pockets, into the courtyard where the cultivation furnace was stored.

At this moment, Ma Xianhong was meticulously engraving inscriptions on the cultivation furnace.

Zhang Chulan could tell that Ma Xianhong genuinely loved his furnace.

Just then, Ma Xianhong slowly raised his head and looked at Zhang Chulan.

“Zhang Chulan? What are you doing here?”

“Village Chief Ma, do you have time? I’d like to talk to you.”
