Chapter 1403: Holding the Lifeline
As soon as the half-demon fat boy pulled Yan Li away, the imperial teacher, who had sensed it, ran over hurriedly.
He was instantly heartbroken when he saw that the once thriving medicinal herb field was now reduced to nothing but potholes and not a single medicinal herb left.
He felt his heart aching!
Even the hair on my head hurts!
"Elixir, my elixir, who the hell are you, you can just steal from the treasury, why are you stealing my elixir?" The roar of the state master almost resounded throughout the entire half-demon city.
Those whose treasure houses were stolen were not happy when they heard this!
What do you mean stealing from your treasure house is okay, but stealing from your elixir farm is damnable?
Is it possible that your elixir field is the treasure and our treasure house is the grass?
The entire half-demon city knew about the National Master's heart-wrenching roar that the magical medicine field of the National Master, to whom they treasured those magical medicines as their life, had been stolen!
At this time, the two culprits who stole the elixir field had secretly returned to the inn and were ready to sleep peacefully.
Yan Li: ...
so close!
He was just one step away from colliding with that roaring imperial master!
But even if I hit him, it wouldn’t matter much, after all, I’m invisible.
But what is the identity of this little fat boy?
Not only did he know the treasure troves of important figures in the Half-Demon Empire like the back of his hand, he could even easily break through the barrier of the imperial teacher's elixir field and enter to pick the fruits.
But this time I really gained a lot!
Just as Yan Li lay down on the bed, there was a commotion downstairs in the inn.
Then someone came and knocked on the door, asking everyone to go to the lobby of the inn.
Yan Li opened the door with a sleepy look.
"Are you sick? We have paid gold coins to stay at the inn, and you are not sleeping in the middle of the night and disturbing our dreams." Yan Li looked very angry at being woken up.
The fat half-demon in the next room also came out with a gloomy face.
Wei Yan, who led the team, suddenly felt so unlucky when he saw this. Why was he assigned to search this inn again?
"Miss, the imperial master's elixir field was stolen. The imperial master has ordered the whole city to capture the thief. There is nothing we can do." Wei Yan said stiffly.
"Your national teacher's elixir field was stolen and he came to disturb people's sleep. Is he sick?" Yan Li couldn't help but complain.
Some guests who were woken up couldn't help but complain in their hearts.
"This..." Wei Yan felt ashamed when he heard this.
The ancestors are here, and they support her. Even if she calls out and curses the national master's ancestors for eighteen generations, she dare not do anything to her, right?
He controlled the ancestor, which was equivalent to controlling the lifeline of everyone in the Half-Demon Empire.
"Please search quickly. I am so sleepy." Yan Li said to Wei Yan.
Upon hearing this, Wei Yan nodded and immediately led his men to search room by room.
"How is it? Did you catch the thief?" Yan Li looked at Wei Yan and asked.
"No." Wei Yan shook his head.
"Then take it back to your national teacher." Yan Li handed a piece of paper in her hand to Wei Yan.
"What is this?" Wei Yan asked with curiosity.
"Of course it's compensation for this lady's mental damage." Yan Li said unhappily.
"Mental damage compensation?" Wei Yan felt ashamed when he heard that.
This girl who looks like a human seems to be asking for a debt from the Imperial Master?
"You woke me up in the middle of the night, and the culprit of all this is your imperial teacher. What's wrong with asking him to pay some compensation for mental damage?" Yan Li looked at Wei Yan.
"Old... I want some too. Tell the Imperial Master that he wants double the compensation for mental damage." The fat half-demon at the side spoke up.
Wei Yan: ...
The poor national teacher just had his elixir field stolen and now he's about to be extorted by the ancestor and that little girl. This is a double blow to him!
But this is the order of our ancestors, and I have no choice but to obey. I can only send this letter asking for compensation for mental damages to the Imperial Master!
"Don't worry, I will definitely deliver it to the imperial master." After saying this, Wei Yan ran away with his men.
"Little Fatty, he seems very afraid of you?" Yan Li looked at the little fat boy beside her suspiciously.
"Sister, I have some status here, but I can't tell you my specific identity. You won't abandon me, right?" The half-demon chubby little boy looked at Yan Li pitifully.
"Of course not. Everyone has their own secrets. Although you are still young, you are no exception." Yan Li smiled and rubbed his head.
If Yan Li knew that she was rubbing the head of the half-demon ancestor, I wonder how she would react.
But the fat half-demon seemed to be enjoying it!
After Wei Yan and his men left, everyone went back to rest.
Yan Li slept until noon. When she woke up, she took the half-demon fat boy to the lobby to prepare for dinner.
Suddenly I heard another piece of gossip.
It turned out that the Imperial Master was unable to bear the blow of the theft of his beloved medicine garden and was trying to commit suicide at the city gate.
The devil was so busy trying to catch the thief while trying to calm down the suicidal imperial teacher.
"Is the heart of this Imperial Master so fragile? If the spiritual medicine garden is gone, wouldn't it be better to just plant new plants? Why is he trying to commit suicide?" Miss Yan was very ashamed.
"Miss, you don't know that the medicine garden is the result of hundreds of years of hard work by the State Master. It would be strange if he didn't go crazy." The half-demon at the table next to him couldn't help but speak up after hearing Yan Li's complaints.
After all, Yan Li’s idea is what most people think.
Yan Li actually felt a little guilty when he heard this. After all, he had taken away someone else's hundred years of hard work.
"Sister, don't listen to his nonsense. The national teacher is not a good person. He has robbed many spiritual medicines from others, and it is even common for him to kill for a spiritual medicine. Now his spiritual medicine field has been stolen. We can only say that he has been punished for his evil deeds." The half-demon fat boy on the side said immediately.
When Yan Li heard this, the slight guilt in her heart immediately disappeared.
Instead, she felt that she was doing the right thing.
"I understand, Fatty, what are we going to eat today?" Yan Li smiled and looked at the half-demon Fatty beside her.
"Sister, what did you give me to eat yesterday? I feel that I have become less and less interested in vinegar, and my cultivation speed has also increased a lot." The half-demon fat boy said excitedly.
"It's just a pill to strengthen your body." Yan Li gave him the pill to remove impurities from his body.
She didn't dare to give him the spiritual spring water rashly.
After all, he was in a half-demon capital surrounded by half-demons.
If the spiritual spring is exposed rashly, it may cause a commotion and bring unnecessary trouble to oneself.
"So that's how it is." The half-demon fat boy nodded.
Then they ordered a large table of delicious food and started to eat. This time, the half-demon fat boy ate with gusto without even touching the vinegar.
As the treasure house was stolen and the national teacher's elixir garden was ransacked, the devil was unable to handle it for a while.
So they decided to ask their ancestors to go back and help investigate.
"King, the old ancestor is very happy with that little girl, and he doesn't want to reveal his identity." Wei Yan reported helplessly.
