Chapter 149, Let Me Go
But to everyone's surprise, the arrow had only been fired halfway when Lin Yue felt a sudden weight on her shoulder. She hurriedly turned around and saw that Xuan Ye had jumped onto her shoulder and was squatting there so steadily, as if he had wrapped a majestic leopard-print scarf around her neck.
Good heavens, I haven't even gotten my own mount yet, and I've already become someone else's... oh no, I mean, leopard's mount.
However, time was of the essence. With the small black dot formed by the white frost and dark clouds about to disappear completely, Lin Yue naturally couldn't go back and abandon Xuan Ye. Helpless, she could only grit her teeth, secretly gather her strength, and urge the Sky Wings to continue flying forward at full speed.
Xuan Ye seemed a little embarrassed at this moment, and unusually spoke up to explain, "I'll go with you. I've had contact with the Shadow Thief Clan before."
The Shadow Thief Clan?
So that's the real name of "Dark Cloud"?
However, the situation was urgent at the moment, and she didn't have time to ask too many questions. She just nodded slightly and didn't say anything, but she secretly exerted force with her feet, which increased the speed of the Sky Wings a few more times, bringing with it a whistling sound.
Fortunately, Xuan Ye used some kind of wonderful technique, and although he landed steadily on Lin Yue's shoulder, he was surprisingly light. Lin Yue didn't feel much effort when flying with him, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.
After several upgrades, Lin Yue's Sky Wings are now incredibly fast. Even with Xuan Ye's slight "weight," Lin Yue is slowly beginning to see the full picture of the "dark clouds" as she pursues them with all her might.
However, the dark clouds were fleeing quite quickly, and it seemed that it would take some effort to catch up with them completely.
While rapidly calculating the remaining flight time of the Sky Wings in her mind, Lin Yue quickly took out the spare wingsuit, first equipping herself, and then neatly helping Xuan Ye put it on as well.
While calculating the duration of the Sky Wings, Lin Yue put on the wingsuits for herself and Xuan Ye. If the Sky Wings ran out of energy later, she would have to risk floating downwards for a while, and then send out a summons order when the time was right, so that Han Weiyi could summon her quickly.
Fortunately, there are more and more summons now, so they are not so scarce and hard to buy.
Having made up her mind, Lin Yue went all out and charged towards her goal. But who could have imagined that this chase, which she thought would last for quite some time, would suddenly stop abruptly after only a few minutes, without any warning.
Lin Yue was taken aback at first, but then a surge of joy welled up in her heart. Without thinking twice, she seized the opportunity to frantically activate her Sky Wings, and a few minutes later, she successfully landed on the dark cloud.
The moment Lin Yue stepped onto the dark clouds, she heard Bai Shuang's boastful voice: "Sister, you stinky cat, I've caught this meat thief!"
Looking down, she saw that Bai Shuang's incredibly sharp claws were pressing down hard on a dark, shadowy figure. A hint of wariness flashed in Lin Yue's eyes. She took out her dagger, gripped it tightly, and then slowly walked over.
"Spare me, Your Majesty, spare me!" That Shadow Thief was surprisingly spineless. Before Lin Yue could even get close, he was already crying and wailing, as if he were about to die at any moment.
Lin Yue subconsciously turned around, her gaze falling on Xuan Ye beside her, her eyes asking, "What's going on? Didn't you contact them before? Are you going to step in and set things up?"
Xuan Ye seemed completely oblivious to her hint, standing tall and straight beside Bai Shuang, his thin lips pressed tightly together, saying nothing, his gaze fixed coldly on the trembling black figure.
Lin Yue glanced at Bai Shuang, who was beaming with pride and shaking her head, then looked at Xuan Ye, who seemed like a silent gourd. She frowned helplessly and finally spoke up: "Who exactly are you? Why do you keep coming to my platform to steal things?"
"Your Majesty, spare me! My name is Xiao Bing. I was so hungry that my stomach was practically sticking to my back and I was seeing stars. That's why I was blinded by greed and took that tiny bit of food. Your Majesty, please have mercy and let me go, just like a fart!" The dark figure cried out, his voice trembling violently.
After the dark figure finished speaking, seeing that neither the human nor the two demons before him spoke, it continued sobbing, "Waaah, Your Majesty! I have an eighty-year-old mother at home, bedridden all day, with no cure; and a three-year-old child crying for milk, skin and bones. I was truly driven to desperation, which is why I resorted to this! Look at you, you have all kinds of delicacies here, why bother with such a small thing, right?"
"Pah!" Bai Shuang's cheeks puffed up with anger as she immediately retorted, "It's not just a little bit! You were clearly trying to take the whole pot of Dongpo pork that my sister made for me, leaving me not a single piece!"
"Your Majesty, I'm innocent!" The dark figure, resembling a cat whose tail had been stepped on, cried out more urgently, "How could I dare to be so greedy? I really only intended to take a jelly back to make some soup for my child to nourish him!"
The shadowy figure was completely black, its features hidden in the darkness, making them difficult to see clearly. However, it spoke with remarkable fluency. Before Lin Yue could even get a word in edgewise, it spilled the beans, almost revealing everything about its ancestors for three generations.
But the story was full of holes and often didn't make sense. One moment the protagonist was lamenting that his grandfather was seriously ill in bed, his child cried every night, and the whole family was in dire straits; the next moment the grandfather was full of energy, wandering around all day, and causing trouble. Now the family had four grandmothers, and he was the only one supporting them.
He had just said that he stole things only to make a living, but in the blink of an eye he was boasting about his incredible luck in the past, when he got two excellent-grade equipment, exchanged them for a lot of money, and got married in style.
Just as Lin Yue was curious to see what other outrageous stories this guy who talked nonsense could come up with, the dark clouds beneath her feet suddenly began to flicker without warning.
The light flashed faster and faster, and the surrounding airflow seemed to become turbulent.
Lin Yue's heart tightened. This frequency, this scene—could this dark cloud also be a flying device? Is it almost time for it to be used?
Lin Yue's aerial wings unfurled with a "whoosh," instantly creating a gust of wind that sent her hair flying. At the same time, the trembling black shadow beneath Bai Shuang's feet panicked and screamed at the top of its lungs, "Let go of me! Hurry up! If we delay any longer, we're all doomed! We'll all be smashed to pieces!"
