"Where's my pearl? Where did my pearl go?"
Rice had been playing with Sea Ji's pearl. It was Rice's toy.
Rice often used it as a ping-pong ball.
Rice had been batting it around in the Courtyard when the pearl disappeared.
Rice eyed Dharma King suspiciously. Only the area beside him hadn't been searched.
Rice said, "Move aside, Dharma King. I'm looking for my pearl."
Dharma King stuck out his tongue, a sly gleam flashing in his eyes, and moved aside.
Rice found nothing.
Rice thought, It couldn't just disappear for no reason. Dharma King must have hidden it.
Rice immediately searched Dharma King, including the little vest he wore.
There was nothing.
Rice looked at Dharma King unhappily. "You must have it in your paws. Let me see them."
Dharma King laughed inwardly and held out his paws. Nothing.
The pearl was actually on the back of Dharma King's paw. He had used his lightning power to hold it there so it wouldn't fall.
How could innocent little Rice possibly outwit the cunning Dharma King?
Rice was dumbfounded. Had it really disappeared?
Apparently Dharma King really didn't have it. Rice immediately began searching everywhere.
Watching Rice scamper around, Dharma King couldn't stop snickering inwardly. With brains like yours, you think you can take me on?
You lost it yourself. In a few days, you'll probably forget all about it.
Who would ever suspect a dog took it?
I haven't given Silver Wolf a present yet. This pearl will be perfect.
After searching the area, Rice returned, scratching at a bewildered head and looking at Dharma King. Rice still felt he had taken it.
But I have no proof. I'll have Chen Luo look when he gets back. If Dharma King hid it, Chen Luo will definitely find it.
