Chapter 27 - Chapter 27: Chapter 27: Zhang Sen Borrows Spirit Stone Again (2/2)

“Lin Brother, we’ve really run into some trouble this time. In consideration of us being neighbors, please help us out just this once,”

“Otherwise, I’ll be chased out of here. There are demonic beasts everywhere outside now, and if I get chased out, we’ll have no chance of survival,”

“I promise, after this time, I will quickly pay back the spirit stones I owe you.”

Lin Jing had heard these words countless times already, and he found it hard to believe Zhang Sen anymore.

Lin Jing spoke coldly:

“Sorry, I truly don’t have any spirit stones to lend you.”

Zhang Sen became somewhat anxious and blurted out:

“That’s impossible, how can you not have spirit stones? I just saw you leaving

Yuebaolou yesterday.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing’s expression collapsed:

“What I do doesn’t require an explanation to you.”

“Lin Brother, sorry, my brother spoke out of turn. Please, help us one more time, just this time,”

Zhang Sen’s face now bore a pleading expression, while Zhang Lin beside him was keeping his head down, shivering.

Lin Jing looked at the two brothers, Zhang Sen and Zhang Lin, with a cold expression:

“Gentlemen, out of neighborly consideration, I already did my duty by lending you spirit stones last time.”

“Now, you haven’t yet returned what you borrowed last time, and you’re here to borrow again. Do you think I’m easy to bully?”

“Furthermore…”

“Shouldn’t you be returning the spirit stones you borrowed last time…”

Just then, Ning Yue walked over with Luo Luo. Luo Luo ran up, grabbed Lin Jing’s arm, looked up at him, and said:

“Uncle Lin, are those two trying to borrow your spirit stones again?”

“You must not lend it to them, they’re bad people, and they just know how to cheat Uncle Lin of his spirit stones.”

“Yesterday, my mother and I saw them coming out of… that place, what’s it called, Qianjinfang.”

“Mother said they lost all their money again, and they’re definitely going to cheat people next. Uncle Lin, you must not fall for their tricks.”

At this time, Ning Yue also spoke up:

“Lin Daoyou, you can’t trust what they say.”

Lin Jing nodded.

He looked at Zhang Sen again, whose complexion had darkened, knowing he definitely wouldn’t be able to borrow this time.

“About the spirit stones borrowed last time, please give me a few more days,

Lin Brother. We’ll return it as soon as possible,” “Lin Brother, I’ll take my leave.”

With that, Zhang Sen bade farewell to Lin Jing and left.

However, the view of his back as he turned around seemed somewhat forlorn.

“Hmph…!”

Luo Luo snorted, then wore a triumphant face, as if she had won a great battle.

After Zhang Sen and Zhang Lin had walked far away, Luo Luo turned back around and put on a bitter face.

“Uncle Lin, save me,” Luo Luo said with a cry.

“This little girl,” Lin Jing said with a laugh yet not quite able to laugh.

“What’s wrong with Luo Luo now? Who has bullied you? Tell your uncle.”

“Mother is bullying me! She wouldn’t let me come over to Uncle Lin’s to mooch a meal yesterday.”

“And Mom tried to cook like Uncle Lin. She’s too clumsy, after following Uncle Lin for so long she still hasn’t learned. The food isn’t tasty at all, and she still insists I eat it.”

“I really have it tough-”

Saying this, Luo Luo wiped away non-existent tears, feigning sadness. “Luo Luo, are you asking for it again?”

Luo Luo’s voice wasn’t quiet, Ning Yue heard every word clearly.

At this moment, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and with a lioness’ roar, she startled Luo Luo into quickly running behind Lin Jing for cover.

Fearing a spanking..
