The Old Thief and the Little Thief

Xiao Mo watched Guang Ling appear, feeling very curious. Her grandfathers were usually either cultivating or cultivating. Only when she went looking for them would they appear to play with her.

"Fifth Grandpa, weren't you cultivating? Why did you come out?"

Guang Ling sighed. It was not that he did not want to cultivate, but that he simply could not make any progress. Unless he encountered a lucky opportunity, it was impossible for his strength to improve any further.

"Xiao Mo, Grandpa was bored of cultivating, so I came to play with you. What, you don't welcome me?"

Xiao Mo shook her head. Of course she welcomed Guang Ling; she just felt that delaying his cultivation was not good.

But since Guang Ling was not continuing his cultivation and could come play with her instead, she was happy beyond words. How could she not welcome him?

"No, I like playing with Fifth Grandpa the most. Where are we going to play today?"

Guang Ling fell into deep thought. He had already taken Xiao Mo all over Spirit City. Unless they went to another city.

But that was clearly impossible. If Qian Daoliu found out, his backside would not survive the Angelic Holy Sword.

Suddenly, Guang Ling came up with an idea. He moved closer to Xiao Mo and whispered in her ear.

"I heard your Second Grandpa has raised a batch of little Golden Crocodile Beasts. How about we catch one and roast it?"

At the mention of food, Xiao Mo's eyes immediately lit up. She remembered Guang Ling's barbecue skills—they were absolutely incredible.

But when she thought of those crocodiles being raised by her Second Grandpa, she felt a little afraid.

"If Second Grandpa finds out, won't he spank our butts?"

As she spoke, Xiao Mo nervously covered her little backside, as though she could already see Golden Crocodile holding a whip and preparing to strike her tender little butt.

Guang Ling dismissed it with disdain. "Second Brother won't even let us look at them. Does that mean I'm not allowed to eat one? Don't worry, Fifth Grandpa will take the blame if anything happens."

Hearing that, Xiao Mo felt reassured. As long as nobody spanked her butt, it was fine.

"Okay! Fifth Grandpa, are we sneaking in, or are we going to take one openly?"

Guang Ling revealed an evil smile. He leaned closer to Xiao Mo and answered with a serious expression.

"We're stealing something, so of course we have to be sneaky. We can't let them find us."

Hearing Guang Ling say that, Xiao Mo quickly covered her mouth and looked around before finally nodding.

Guang Ling did not waste any words. He led Xiao Mo as they secretly slipped into the place where Golden Crocodile kept his pets.

There was an artificial lake here, filled with Golden Crocodile Beast soul beasts of all sizes. The largest one was a full three thousand years old.

As top-tier soul beasts, Golden Crocodile Beasts cultivated incredibly slowly, so their nutritional value was also high.

Guang Ling and Xiao Mo stood at a high spot, looking down at the Golden Crocodile Beasts below. They could not stop the drool from spilling from the corners of their mouths.

"Grandpa Guang Ling, let's eat the biggest one. It looks delicious!"

Guang Ling nodded as well. To be honest, he had been eyeing that three-thousand-year-old crocodile for a long time.

It was just that Golden Crocodile knew what he was thinking, so he had returned empty-handed every time. More importantly, he was afraid Golden Crocodile would beat him to death.

But now that he had Xiao Mo, his immunity token from death, he probably would not be beaten to death.

Without further delay, Guang Ling summoned his martial soul and directly unleashed his strongest soul skill, killing the crocodile in a single blow.

After making the kill, Guang Ling did not hesitate. He immediately rushed down, hoisted the crocodile over his shoulder, and flew back to Xiao Mo's side.

Guang Ling carried the crocodile on one shoulder and Xiao Mo in one hand, charging out of Spirit Hall without looking back.

Inside a cave, one large and one small figure sat around a crocodile roasted crisp on the outside and tender within.

Guang Ling continuously dipped a brush into sweet-and-spicy sauce and evenly spread it over the crocodile.

The spicy sweetness of the sauce, combined with the fragrance of roasted meat, constantly teased Xiao Mo's nose, making her drool uncontrollably.

"Fifth Grandpa, isn't it ready yet? I can't wait to dig in!"

Guang Ling was also utterly entranced by the smell of the roasted meat, but he still said calmly.

"Xiao Mo, barbecue is all about timing. We can eat in another two minutes!"

Two and a half minutes later!

Guang Ling and Xiao Mo sat on the ground, burping repeatedly. The roasted crocodile had been simply too delicious!

Meanwhile, Golden Crocodile flew into a rage when he discovered that his favorite Golden Crocodile Beast had vanished without a trace.

Level 98 soul power continuously spread through the skies above Spirit Hall. The higher-ups of Spirit Hall had long grown used to it.

Ever since Xiao Mo arrived, soul power fluctuations often came from the Consecration Hall. Everyone had already become numb to it.

Still, the other consecrators came to Golden Crocodile's side to see what had happened. When they learned that Golden Crocodile's favorite crocodile had disappeared—

The most anxious were the brothers Qian Jun and Demon Subduer. They spoke in unison.

"Not good, our Glazed Purple Berries! Hurry back!"

One hour earlier!

Guang Ling used a tiny ice toothpick he had condensed to pick his teeth. Then he suddenly thought of something and said to Xiao Mo.

"Xiao Mo, do you want some fruit for dessert?"

Xiao Mo patted her round little belly and replied with a giggle.

"Fifth Grandpa, I want some! I can still eat!"

Seeing this, Guang Ling took Xiao Mo on a lap around the area to help them digest their food, then flew to where Qian Jun and Demon Subduer lived.

The moment Xiao Mo entered, she was drawn in by the sight before her!

Golden rice fields carrying the scent of wheat stretched out in patches, while the surrounding fruit trees were laden with large, plump fruit.

There was also a winding little path nearby, with both sides kept extremely neat and planted with all kinds of flowers and grass.

It was obvious that this place was often tended to, and with an extraordinary amount of love and care.

"Wow, Fifth Grandpa, what place is this? It's so pretty!"

Looking at the scenery here, Guang Ling patiently explained.

"This is where your Sixth Grandpa and Fifth Grandpa rest. They usually do not have any hobbies; they just like farming and planting fruit trees."

"Xiao Mo, let me tell you, your two grandpas jointly cultivated a fruit tree called Glazed Purple Berries. The fruit is incredibly delicious."

"I was lucky enough to taste it once. The flavor was amazing. Unfortunately, your two grandpas are a little stingy, but today we'll eat our fill."

Xiao Mo wholeheartedly agreed. After they had eaten their fill, they happily wiped their mouths and left the place.

When the other consecrators arrived, they were shocked as well. The once quiet and peaceful pastoral scenery had now become a complete mess.

All kinds of half-eaten fruit had been casually tossed by the roadside. The golden rice fields had been trampled in every direction, and the fruit trees were covered in all sorts of strange graffiti.

To the brothers Qian Jun and Demon Subduer, this scene was nothing less than hell.

"No, my farmland!!!"

"No, my orchard!!"

Together: "My Glazed Purple Berries!!"

Golden Crocodile, standing nearby, nearly wanted to laugh at the sight. When his crocodile had been stolen earlier, these two had laughed the hardest.

Meanwhile, the culprits, Guang Ling and Xiao Mo, were strolling through Spirit City with utterly carefree swagger.

Little did they know that the chief consecrator, Qian Daoliu, had already locked onto their auras.

What awaited them was an extremely harsh lesson, though neither grandpa nor granddaughter had realized it yet!
