Chapter 2489 — Yu Xiaoke's Worry
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Wei Zhao naturally understood Yu Xiaoke's feelings perfectly well. Seeing him put his hands on Yang Qiqi, it was only normal that she would be jealous. But Wei Zhao did not intend to let Yang Qiqi off easily. This little girl was too infuriating, treating ingratitude as a daily meal. Wei Zhao's punishment was meant to teach her a lesson for the future.
Seeing that she could not stop Wei Zhao's hand from groping her, Yang Qiqi simply used her own hands to grope Wei Zhao. Of course, her greatest purpose in groping him was to steal the blue crystal from his backpack. Only by getting the blue crystal in hand could she trade it back for the blood of that earth-attribute heaven-rank spirit beast.
Who was Yu Xiaoke? She saw through Yang Qiqi's aim at a glance. A thief by trade herself, how could she fail to see that Yang Qiqi wanted to be a thief? Yu Xiaoke was secretly annoyed. Why was this male thief so lecherous? Was he bewitched by this little wench with the seemingly fiery figure before him? He had not even noticed her purpose?
In Yu Xiaoke's impression, the male thief was an incomparably shrewd man. His wisdom and vigilance in the ancient tomb had surpassed ordinary people. And even if the male thief wanted to be lecherous, he could be lecherous with her—it wasn't as if she wouldn't let him touch her. Why go and touch a woman with improper designs on him?
Soon it was time for dinner. Wei Zhao, Han Xiaohu, and Yang Qiqi came to the hotel in the market. Here one had to pay for food oneself, but lodging was free—the **者 Trade Association provided rooms at no charge.
In fact, this place was not open to the public at all. Apart from when the **者 market was being held, it was closed at all other times. All the facilities here had been built for the sake of the market.
In the dining hall, there were not many **者 eating, because the place was open all day and there was no need for everyone to eat at this hour. Moreover, many **者 simply bought things and ate in their rooms rather than sitting here.
Wei Zhao casually ordered a few dishes, then sat down and asked Yang Qiqi, "Have you found everything you came to trade for?"
"I... me? I don't have anything to trade. I just came to look around," Yang Qiqi said hastily.
"Heh heh." Wei Zhao said nothing more. Yang Qiqi's acting was too poor—perhaps only she herself did not know that she had already given away her inner thoughts.
Yu Xiaoke was in the dining hall at that moment too, secretly anxious. She wondered whether the male thief before her might be an impostor. Otherwise, the male thief in her memory would not be like this. Could the mask be a fake?
Seeing Yang Qiqi rummaging around in Wei Zhao's backpack, Yu Xiaoke grew anxious. What if this man really was the male thief? With no other choice, Yu Xiaoke bought a boxed meal and sat down at the table beside Wei Zhao and the others.
The most ordinary food here was the boxed meal. In fact, most of these boxed meals were distributed free to the **者 market's staff and the ** of the Law Enforcement Hall. Few **者 would ever buy them! **者 were not poor people—who would buy a boxed meal? Yu Xiaoke, frugal as she was, was naturally different.
