Chapter 165 - Chapter 165: Chapter 165: Robbery to the Face (2/2)
From his reaction just now, Lin Jing knew that even Li Tangyu was unaware that Little Sparrow was nearby.
Hearing Zhang Yuan speak, Huang Qingling directly called out to the outside:
“Little Sparrow, come here…”
“Otherwise, I’m going to deal with you…”
As expected…
The moment Huang Qingling’s words ended, Little Sparrow flapped its wings and flew in, albeit wobbling and at a slow speed, as if it were heading to its own execution.
Little Sparrow, seemingly aware of Huang Qingling’s fury, didn’t dare to fly close to her but instead perched on Lin Jing’s shoulder.
At this moment, everyone turned their gaze towards it.
Li Tangyu was still quite perplexed, sizing up Little Sparrow from top to bottom.
“Can this Little Sparrow speak?”
“It can currently only say two words,” Huang Qingling explained, feeling somewhat helpless.
“It wouldn’t be those two words, would it?” Li Tangyu and Li Qingqing exchanged glances.
Li Qingqing looked around the group and noticed that her brother and Zhang Yuan both looked very intrigued, so she suggested:
“Why not have it speak for us to hear?”
“Are you sure?” Huang Qingling asked, looking at the three of them with interest.
“Mmm-hmm…”
The three nodded repeatedly.
“Alright then…”
Huang Qingling seemed quite helpless and then spoke to Little Sparrow: “Little Sparrow, how do you rob someone? Give them a demonstration.” Little Sparrow turned its head to look at Huang Qingling, who gave it a look.
Then…
In an instant, Little Sparrow moved like an arrow, charging towards Li Tangyu. At the same time, a strange and somewhat unpleasant sound was heard:
“Hand it over…”
As the two words fell, Little Sparrow was already atop the roof beam, with a crescent-shaped Magic Artifact in its beak.
It was the very one that Li Tangyu had been holding a moment before.
Looking back at Li Tangyu, he had just begun to realize what happened and looked up towards the ceiling…
Already shocked by the fact that Little Sparrow could speak, Li Tangyu was frozen for a moment, and coupled with this sudden attack…
Li Tangyu was so caught off guard that he lost a Magic Artifact from his grasp without even realizing it.
Seeing this scene, everyone was struck dumb.
After a moment, Li Qingqing reacted and burst into uncontrollable laughter while thumping the table.
“Hahaha…”
“My brother…my brother, he was actually robbed by Little Sparrow, right in front of his eyes.”
“Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter…”
As Li Qingqing laughed so hard she could barely catch her breath, Li Tangyu’s face flushed red, but he didn’t try to explain himself.
Because, indeed, he had been completely taken by surprise and Little Sparrow had snatched the Magic Artifact.
Mainly, Little Sparrow was really fast, and it had chosen the perfect moment, just as Li Tangyu was taken aback.
Li Tangyu was just careless enough to fall prey to the trick.
And Zhang Yuan, sitting beside Li Tangyu, was twitching the corners of his mouth.
Because he, too, had been briefly stunned just now; luckily, Little Sparrow hadn’t targeted him,
After a while, Li Qingqing had also finished her laughing and calmed down.
Then Li Tangyu opened his mouth again:
“This Little Sparrow, seems rather extraordinary…”
Li Qingqing teased him, saying:
“Of course, it’s extraordinary, able to snatch things right from you. Little Sparrow is really amazing.
“I’ve decided, the scare Little Sparrow gave me is now water under the bridge.”
Li Tangyu’s face immediately went slack, worried that this incident, through Li Qingqing’s telling, would become an embarrassing story for the ages. Given Li Qingqing’s nature, he feared she might never let him live it down..
