Chapter 233 (1/2)

Little Black (2)

The martial artist walked slowly towards the herd of horses to pick a robust stallion. He flung himself on the horse, then trotted slowly towards Ye Lang.

At the same time, Little Xin led a horse over to Ye Lang’s side.

“Let’s go!”

Ye Lang got on the horse to sit behind Little Xin. They were on the same horse but instead of Ye Lang holding the reins, it was Little Xin!

The young martial artist was a little perplexed. Forget about the fact that they’re both riding the same horse- Ye Lang should be the one taking the reins, how could he let the girl do it?

He didn’t know that Ye Lang didn’t know how to ride a horse at all!

Then why could Little Xin do it? It was a lot like modern computer games. You’re a world-class race car driver in the game but you might not even know how to drive in real life!

This situation was like Ye Lang controlling an avatar in a game. She could ride a horse but Ye Lang couldn’t!

Another example would be how Little Xin could do many expressions and movements a girl would do. No matter how realistic, how seductive she looked, Ye Lang could never do the same himself!

The martial artist looked at Ye Lang, then said, “You’re leaving just like that? Aren’t you forgetting something?” Although it was weird that they were both riding on the same horse, there were other pressing matters.

And that was the heaps of shiny gold coins Ye Lang left on the road!

“What?” asked Ye Lang, confused. He didn’t think he’d forgotten anything.

“...The...gold coins…” reminded the martial artist, cocking an eyebrow. He was almost speechless to have to remind Ye Lang about it. Anyone would be exasperated.

“Gold coins?” Ye Lang turned to look at the heap, then gave a dramatic look of sudden realisation, “Oh, that? I almost forgot!”

Little Xin turned the horse around towards the gold coins…

Clip-clop. Clip-clop. Clip-clop.

The thuds of the horse’s hooves echoed within the mountains, piercing through the hearts of the robbers. They realised that the shiny, golden coins were about to disappear soon!

This was meant to be theirs! And they were about to lose it! Sigh, why did they have to be so greedy?!!

And when everyone thought Ye Lang was going to take the coins back, he did something very shocking. Not only did he not keep the coins, but he also threw a few more gold pieces into the heap…

“I’ve forgotten to pay the protection fee. Little Xin and I beat you all so we don’t have to pay the full amount. I’ll give you a hundred gold coins for it!”

“...”

Did we make a mistake? Why did this feel like a dream?

Everyone stared in stunned silence, their brains shutting down.

Ye Lang quickly left the scene, leaving behind one hundred thousand and one hundred gold coins…

“What… What do you mean? Weren’t you going to take the coins back?” asked the martial artist, testing the waters.

He wrung his hands, “Why would I take it back? I’ve given it to them, it’s theirs. I never take money I’ve spent back!”

That was true. He would never take money he’d given away back. Even if he was swindled, he wouldn’t take it back either!

However, he would use other methods to punish the conmen if he knew who they were. He’d never let them go.

“You turned around just to spend a hundred more gold coins? To pay a fee you didn’t even have to pay?” interrogated the martial artist.
