Are You Nuts, Woman?

Are You Nuts, Woman?

"..."

Qi Zixiao fell silent for a long while, unable to find an answer. In the end, she could only grit her teeth. "That guy must have done something!"

"No, I need to add another line to the recorded message..."

After redoing the recorded message, Qi Zixiao finally relaxed a little. Returning to her usual cool and aloof demeanor, she summoned Chen Cheng and began probing indirectly...

Then...

Chen Cheng and the other Protector Disciples were all bewildered.

What was going on here?

When it was finally time to switch shifts, Zhou Yining, a Protector Disciple in Chen Cheng's group, asked in confusion, "Why has Your Highness Saintess been asking so many questions lately?!"

Chen Cheng rolled her eyes. "..."

You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?

Both of them were speechless and miserable.

Over the past few days, the Saintess seemed to have done nothing but ask questions... It had left them trembling with fear, terrified that they had done something wrong and displeased the Saintess.

When the emotions of those in high positions were unclear, it was undoubtedly torture and torment for their subordinates.

Yet after several days, nothing had happened at all. How could they not feel miserable?

In truth, they were not the only ones suffering. Qi Zixiao felt the same way.

Since she could not expose herself, Qi Zixiao could only probe indirectly. But because she had lived in the Purple Mansion Holy Land since childhood, she did not understand much about the ways of the world. In this regard, she was far inferior to Lin Fan...

She asked this and that, posing countless questions, yet the information she gained was pitifully scarce.

"Perhaps I should go out and take a look?"

Qi Zixiao's thoughts began to stir.

But she quickly abandoned the idea.

The timing was wrong!

She had entered seclusion to make a breakthrough, yet not only had her cultivation failed to advance, it had even regressed slightly because she had 'gone astray in cultivation.'

The more people she encountered if she went out now, the more troublesome things would become.

"In that case, I can only wait until three days from now."

"By then, if we do not switch again, I can settle down and enter seclusion with peace of mind to make a breakthrough. But if we switch again..."

Qi Zixiao fell silent.

Switch again?

If they truly switched again, no one could say what might happen.

Time rewound.

When Qi Zixiao's soul returned to her body and discovered herself inside a bathing tub, Lin Fan's soul also instantly returned to Earth and took control of his body.

He looked around...

Lin Fan's mouth twitched!

This was a pedestrian street with quite a lot of people, but his current appearance was rather strange.

It was strange because one of his shoes was missing!

By rights, he should have looked utterly bedraggled, shouldn't he?

Yet his clothes and everything else were quite neat, not particularly dirty or messy. It was obvious they had been 'well cared for' before this.

But that was not the issue. The issue was, why was he here?!

"This... isn't University City! What the hell?"

His mind spun quickly. As a modern man—and a modern man who had no idea how many novels he had read—he could quickly form a rough idea about something like this.

Though he could not be certain, he was not completely dumbfounded.

"In other words, I probably switched souls with that Saintess for three days, and now we've switched back."

"So for the past three days, the one controlling my body was that Saintess?"

"Then... did she buy this milk tea too?"

Looking at the half-finished cup of milk tea in his hand and sensing its lingering fragrance in his mouth, Lin Fan blinked, utterly speechless.

However, his speechlessness had only just begun.

Click!

A chill ran over his wrist.

Lin Fan: "????"

"You really can run, can't you!!!"

Panting voices rang out beside his ears—not one person's voice, but a whole group's!

When he shifted his gaze and clearly saw those people and the object on his wrist, Lin Fan's scalp exploded and his legs went weak. "P-Police Uncle, what are you doing?"

"You're still asking us?"

The police officer leading the group roared, "We've chased you for three whole days, three days!!!"

"I have to say, you really can run!"

"Food Bandit, right? Let's see how you run now. Come back to the station with us and explain yourself."

Click!

Another crisp sound rang out. That Police Uncle directly cuffed the other end of the handcuffs to his own wrist, leaving Lin Fan completely stunned!

Fuck me...

His soul had just returned, and Police Uncle had already handcuffed him? And more than a dozen police officers had surrounded him?

What exactly had she done over the past three days?

Murdered someone, or harassed decent women?

Could it be that this Saintess was actually a lesbian?

And what the hell was a Food Bandit?!

His mind was in complete chaos.

By the time Lin Fan gradually came back to his senses, he realized he had already been taken into a police car. Two Police Uncles sat on either side of him, 'sandwiching' him between them, as if he might slip away if they so much as looked away.

That left him even more bewildered.

As the police car started moving, Lin Fan said helplessly, "Police Uncle, what are you doing? You've got the wrong person, haven't you?"

"I'm a good citizen, a law-abiding citizen through and through."

"I've been wronged."

"You've been wronged?!"

"We've been chasing you for days. How could we mistake you?" Police Uncle replied without mercy.

Lin Fan: "..."

Fine. The Saintess had definitely pulled some stunt.

At this point, he could only force a bitter smile. "Then you have to at least tell me what I did, right?"

"Heh~~~!?"

The Police Uncle cuffed to Lin Fan raised his brow. "You're quite something, kid. You really won't shed tears until you see the coffin."

"Fine! See for yourself!"

Then he took out his phone, opened a video on it, and held it in front of Lin Fan.

The video had been edited.

At the beginning, Lin Fan was wandering around in front of a steamed bun shop. Then... he snatched a basket of steamed buns and took off running.

Lin Fan: "..."

Then the scene changed, and 'he' snatched a bowl of mixed fried rice.

Another cut, and he snatched a bowl of spicy hotpot.

Another cut, and he snatched a roast duck...

Cut after cut!!

In the final cut, he snatched a cup of milk tea.

Then the video ended.

In summary, over those three days, 'he' had robbed steamed buns, fried rice, spicy hotpot, roast duck, potato chips, bobo chicken, milk tea... regardless of time, occasion, or place.

More than twenty kinds of food in all!

And every single one was fairly well-known.

Lin Fan: "..."

"Nothing to say now?"

The police officer beside him could not help laughing. "Lin Fan, right? You're even studying for a master's degree. I really have to ask—didn't you know there are surveillance cameras everywhere nowadays?!"

"Or was this some kind of performance art you young people are always talking about?"

"I think it might be a publicity stunt." The Police Uncle driving chimed in. "See? Recently, every food shop he robbed has become explosively popular."

"They've all turned into internet-famous check-in spots."

"That really is possible!!!" The police officers' expressions turned rather ugly.

Fuck me...

Lin Fan wanted to cry but had no tears.

At that moment, all he wanted was to stand in front of the Saintess and say one thing: "Are you nuts, woman?!"
