The sun set in the west, and the afterglow shone down.
In the dense forest, Thieving World was sitting cross-legged on the crown of a tree, closing his eyes to heal his injuries.
Although her footwork was divine, it was difficult for two fists to fight against four hands, and she was hit many times by those people. Therefore, her injuries were quite severe.
Ling Xian was standing on top of another tree with his hands behind his back. His white robe fluttered in the wind, making him look ethereal.
However, there was some heat in his deep eyes.
Firstly, it was because of the storage bags that he lost, and secondly, it was because of the reward that Thief the World gave him, the dozen storage bags.
Just now, when he opened the storage pouches, he realized that there were many treasures inside. Every single storage pouch could be said to be priceless. And with a dozen storage pouches added together, it was an astronomical figure. Therefore, he was quite happy.
"I don't know where this woman stole these storage pouches from, but every single one of them is worth a fortune. Looks like I've gotten lucky."
Ling Xian faintly grinned. He thought that not only was there no danger, but he also got lucky. This trip sure was worth it.
Then, he looked at the Thief of the World and sighed: "From the value of the storage bag, we can deduce the identity of the owner. It's obvious that the owners of these storage pouches are extraordinary, but they were all stolen by her. This woman's thieving skills are truly astonishing. "
"It's not good to talk behind someone's back, not even good words."
A playful voice suddenly sounded. Thieving World opened her eyes, and her pretty face regained some color and was no longer as pale as before.
"Didn't you open your eyes? So, I am not talking behind your back." Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled.
"Sophistry."
The Thief of the World hissed and glanced over at Ling Xian. Finally, her gaze stopped at his waist and flickered with heat.
This made Ling Xian chuckle, "What, you want to steal my storage pouch?"
"This is the first time I have failed since I began my cultivation journey. Of course I want to avenge myself." The Thief of the World was unwilling to give up. If it weren't for the fact that she was afraid of Ling Xian's capabilities, she would've made a move already.
"Unfortunately, you won't have the chance to wash away your shame."
Ling Xian softly grinned, "If you are not convinced, then come and try. As long as you are not afraid of paying a higher price."
"This lord will not suffer a loss."
Thieving World snorted: "It's just a slip up and a small injury."
"Is that so? Then these storage pouches aren't considered losses?" Ling Xian's lips curled up as he waved the 10 storage pouches in front of the Thief of the World.
"Is this a demonstration? Unfortunately, you picked the wrong target. "
Thieving World said with a playful gaze: "Count how many storage bags there are."
Hearing this, Ling Xian was a little startled. He counted the storage pouches in his hand and realized there were 12 of them.
This number reminded him of the group of swindlers. There were exactly 12 of them. In other words, these storage bags belonged to those swindlers.
"Haha, you finally found out? These storage pouches were all obtained during the battle, so I didn't lose anything. "
Thieving World laughed heartily, he finally felt that he had regained some face.
Ever since she stole Ling Xian's storage pouch, she had been under his control. In other words, she was being toyed with by him. Right now, she felt that she had vented her anger.
"Interesting."
Ling Xian smiled, unsure of what to say about this woman.
In that desperate situation, she stole all those people's storage pouches. Should he say that she valued money more than her life, or should he say that she had a big heart?
"Thieving World, Thieving World, you sure live up to your name."
Ling Xian shook his head and laughed, "But, I remember you saying that everything that lands in your hand is yours. If that's the case, then these storage pouches are yours. Aren't you still at a disadvantage in my hands? "
At those words, the Thief of the World was startled and then depressed.
Because Ling Xian was right. All in all, she was losing out. How could she, who has always been the one losing out, not feel depressed?
"Damned bastard, if I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have stolen your storage pouch. Or else this wouldn't have happened."
The Thief of the World's teeth were itching. If she hadn't seen Ling Xian's terrifying battling abilities, she would've attacked him a long time ago.
"I didn't ask you to steal. You can only blame yourself for being blind." Ling Xian smiled. He was very happy.
Though in the beginning, the Thief of the World was the one who stole the storage pouch. Since then, he has been gaining the upper hand. Naturally, he was happy.
"Damned bastard!"
The Thief of the World cursed. Her bright eyes stared at Ling Xian as if she was thinking about her chances of winning. Moments later, she appeared helpless. It was obvious that she felt like she had no chance of winning.
Therefore, she completely gave up on this unrealistic thought. Though she was unwilling, she had to admit defeat.
"Oh well, I have returned your storage pouch and compensated you with 12 more. Let's forget about this."
The Thief of the World sighed helplessly, "From now on, we don't owe each other anything."
"Okay."
Ling Xian nodded softly. He didn't want to be enemies with the Thief of the World either. After all, this woman's thieving skills were out of this world. If she was hiding in the dark, then he would have a headache.
"Very well, then let's say our goodbyes. Let's go our separate ways."
The corner of the Thief of the World's lips curled up. She couldn't wait to get out of Ling Xian's sight.
However, the moment she left the tree, she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Don't be in such a rush to leave. I have something to ask you."
Ling Xian softly smiled. It was bright and gentle.
But to the Thief of the World, it was the smile of a demon.
She was scared of Ling Xian. Even if it was just for a second, she didn't want to stay with him. Therefore, after he stopped her, her face fell.
"What is it? Didn't we agree to mind our own business?"
Hearing this, Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled, "I am just asking you something. Why are you so scared?"
"Oh well, it is my bad luck to have met someone like you."
The Thief of the World smiled helplessly, "Speak, what is it?"
"I just want to ask, do you know where there is an organization that deals with information?" Ling Xian erased his smile and looked at the Thief of the World in a serious manner.
This woman has stolen countless treasures and will for sure sell them. Selling them means she has to deal with some underground organizations.
Therefore, Ling Xian believed that this woman knows where there is an intelligence organization. And it will be a very high level organization.
"That's all."
The Thief of the World sighed in relief, "You have asked the right person. Do you know why I am successful in everything I do? The most important reason is that my thieving skills are unparalleled. But a small part of the reason is that I have an information network. "
"Tell me." Ling Xian's eyes brightened.
"I cannot tell you for free."
The Thief of the World rolled his eyes, "Give me the 12 storage pouches and I will tell you."
Hearing this, Ling Xian smiled.
He casually tossed a storage pouch to the Thief of the World. Then, a teasing statement left his lips.
"If you tell me, this storage pouch will be yours. If you don't, it will be yours. But, I will force you to tell me. "
