Murder and Arson Bring Golden Belts

Murder and Arson Bring Golden Belts

After Li Xuan put on the Void Pearl, his stomach immediately began to growl.

He had been busy transplanting flower seedlings that morning and had missed the cafeteria's stale steamed buns. He was already starving.

"Heaven and earth may be vast, but eating comes first. System, open the mall for me!" Li Xuan said as he turned and returned to his thatched hut.

[System Mall]

[A meal box with one meat dish and two vegetable dishes *1...1 point]

[Wahehe mineral water *1...1 point]

[Nine Flower Dew Pill *10...200 points]

[Magical Herb Hoe (Special Offer)...10 points (Original Price: 10,000 points)]

"Magical Herb Hoe? What the hell is that? But something worth ten thousand points is being sold at one-thousandth of the price. There's no way I'd lose out by buying it!" Li Xuan bought the meal box, water, and hoe without hesitation.

With that, all of Li Xuan's points had been used up!

He could only wait until that night's point settlement to recover a little.

The next second, the meal box, water, and hoe suddenly appeared out of thin air before Li Xuan.

The herb hoe was only as long as an adult's forearm. It looked utterly unremarkable, like an ordinary small hoe used by farmers for weeding. If it were tossed into a pile of hoes, Li Xuan would not have been able to pick it out.

But appearances could be deceiving. Li Xuan did not believe this herb hoe was as ordinary as it looked, so he picked up the Magical Herb Hoe and checked its attributes.

Because it was produced by the system, Li Xuan could see its attributes. At present, he only had Appraisal of Herbs and no skill for appraising items.

[Item: Magical Herb Hoe]

[Quality: Red]

[Description: A hoe with magical abilities. When harvesting herbs, there is a 25% chance to improve the herb's quality and a 20% chance to obtain herb seeds.]

[Note: Exclusive equipment for "Herb Farmers"]

"Exclusive equipment for the Herb Farmer secondary profession, and it has such absurd abilities too. Interesting, very interesting." Li Xuan looked at the herb hoe in his hand and nodded in satisfaction.

After thinking it over, Li Xuan decided it was not yet time to use it, so he placed the herb hoe into his storage space.

Just then, Li Xuan suddenly heard sounds outside. Without even bothering to eat, he immediately softened his footsteps and slowly headed toward the courtyard.

Those people had likely been lurking near his courtyard for some time. Since they had not knocked, Li Xuan figured they were not good people.

"I heard a six-year-old kid lives in this courtyard. How does he have so many successfully cultivated flower seedlings?"

"Who cares how old he is? They aren't ours. With these flower seedlings, the three of us will be able to strut around the Flower Sea from now on!"

"That's right, Big Brother, Second Brother. Let's move all these flower seedlings away, then we'll be eating well and drinking fine wine!"

"Be careful when you go in later. Killing is fine, but don't break any of these flowerpots."

"Don't worry, Big Brother! Nothing will go wrong! He's just a six-year-old kid."

Every word of the three men's conversation fell clearly into Li Xuan's ears.

"Didn't manage to make a deal, but I attracted thieves first. Interesting." A cruel smile curled across Li Xuan's lips as he carefully pulled the dagger from his calf.

Then Li Xuan went to the main gate and waited for the three thieves to arrive.

Li Xuan was not actually afraid of them. In the Flower Sea, these Flower Slaves had originally been Spirit Masters or relatives of Spirit Masters, so most of them had possessed Soul Power.

But to prevent the Flower Slaves from fighting and damaging the flowers and plants, Chrysanthemum Douluo had crippled all the Spirit Masters' cultivation before throwing them into the Flower Sea as Flower Slaves.

After their Soul Power was crippled, these Spirit Masters had strength no different from ordinary people, perhaps even weaker.

Li Xuan's Soul Power Level had already reached level ten, and his strength was comparable to that of an adult.

But his only weakness was that his body was still too small. It would be easy for several burly men to restrain him and render him unable to fight.

So Li Xuan intended to use strategy to kill the three thieves.

In the Flower Sea, none of the courtyard gates were allowed to be locked. Li Xuan figured these three men had not taken him seriously and would most likely enter through the main gate. That was why he hid by the entrance, preparing to kill with a single strike.

Before long, the courtyard gate slowly opened.

Li Xuan's nerves tightened as he stared intently at the gate.

The three thieves did not take six-year-old Li Xuan seriously. They simply stepped through the gate without looking around, heading straight for the flowerpots filled with seedlings in the courtyard.

That gave Li Xuan an excellent opportunity.

Seeing all three thieves enter the courtyard, Li Xuan moved. He rushed at the nearest thief, leaped high, landed on the man's back, and swept the dagger across his throat. Blood burst forth.

"Third Brother!" the other two thieves roared in unison.

Li Xuan showed no mercy. He vaulted over the thief he had just killed and charged at the next closest thief, who appeared to be the leader of the group.

After seeing Li Xuan's move, the leader immediately tried to retreat and dodge. But his cultivation had already been crippled. How could he possibly evade Li Xuan's full-force strike in such a short time?

It was another slash across the throat. This time, Li Xuan attacked head-on, and a spray of blood splashed directly across his face.

Blood covered his childish six-year-old face, making Li Xuan seem overflowing with killing intent and exceptionally terrifying.

"Father! Grandfather! Little Ancestor! I beg you, don't kill me! Don't kill me!" Seeing Li Xuan's appearance, the second thief dropped to his knees and repeatedly slammed his head against the ground. He had clearly been scared out of his wits.

Who could have imagined that a six-year-old child could kill two adults in the blink of an eye? The scene was bizarre and terrifying.

Li Xuan bared his teeth in a chilling smile at the second thief.

"What's your name? Where is the Flower Sea the two of them are responsible for?" Li Xuan asked the second thief, his voice slightly hoarse.

"It's... it's... three kilometers north of your Flower Sea. Th-that's the Flower Sea the three of us are responsible for," the second thief stammered, already frightened out of his mind.

"So that's how it is!" Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

"Little Ancestor, can I leave now?" the second thief asked nervously, raising his head.

"No need. Stay and become fertilizer." Li Xuan shook his head and expressionlessly swung his dagger, finishing off the last thief.

"Bleurgh!"

As Li Xuan watched the final corpse collapse to the ground, his mind suddenly relaxed. Unable to hold back any longer, he immediately vomited.

It could not be helped. This was Li Xuan's first time killing someone, and the sensation of blood spraying across his face was simply too disgusting.

After dry heaving for quite a while, Li Xuan finally recovered. Yet beneath the blood, his face was deathly pale.

This was Li Xuan's first time killing someone. Although his movements had been clean and decisive, it had still been his first kill, and he was not quite used to it.

"Good thing I didn't eat anything, or it really would have gone to waste." Li Xuan wiped his mouth. He had dry heaved for half the day without bringing anything up.

Next came the exciting part: looting the bodies.

Killing without looting was the same as working without getting paid.

The three thieves did not have much on them, only three seed bags containing a total of more than one hundred and forty seeds.

And adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, Li Xuan stripped all the clothes off the three men.

Only then did Li Xuan nod in satisfaction. Whoever came to steal from his home again would meet the same fate as these people.
