Chapter 212: The Missing Ji Xiaoxiao
Translator: 549690339
âWhy is it a personalâŠâ
The martial artists were in disbelief. They thought that it was some special demon, but they did not expect that the thief was actually a human!
However, this also explained why the statue did not react at all to the fact that it had been stolen.
The thief was a man.
âThis thief is obviously not from our Great Xia. They donât speak the same language as us.âJi Ruo said,â And they are quite cautious. I have been standing here for most of the night. They must have observed me for a long time and shot me with two arrows from their sleeves. Then, they waited for about half an hour before they slowly came over.âââ
Ji Ruo briefly explained the situation to the warriors.
âThey should be the ones behind the theft of the holy statues. Although one of them escaped, itâs still quite rewarding to be able to catch oneâŠlâll have to trouble you guys to interrogate him properly. Iâll find a place to wash up first, hehe.ââThe smell of paint is a little strong,â Ji Ruo scratched his head.
Rosie wrinkled her nose.â Meow!â she said.â Hurry up and wash up. I canât stand it anymore!â)
âHaha!â
The martial artists were stunned for a moment. A martial artist asked doubtfully, âArenât you going back with us?â
âGo back with you?â âIsnât the Eight Treasures Stronghold under lockdown now? Can I go back with you?â Ji Ruo asked in surprise.â
The warrior smiled.â Youâve helped us so much, and thereâs no problem with your identity. Itâs already so late, and itâs hard to find a place to stay in the wilderness. If we donât let you into the village, is that what humans do?â
âThank you, then.â Ji Ruo smiled and rubbed her hands.â
âWhat are you thanking us for? You helped us catch the thief. We should be the ones thanking you.ââLet me introduce myself. My name is Hu Yonglin.ââ
Then, Ji Ruo followed Hu Yonglin and the others to escort the still confused Qiao Xi back to the Eight Treasures Stronghold.
Before he left, Ji Ruo put his hands behind his back and quietly waved for Ji Xiaoxiao to follow him.
When they returned to the village, the villagers immediately surrounded them. âHow was it? Did you catch him? Whoosh! Why did you bring back a statue?â
â Why does this statue look likeâŠâ âHello, Iâm Ji Ruo.â Ji Ruo grinned.â
âMotherf * cker! Alive!â
The villagers were shocked.
Hu Yonglin and the others didnât know whether to laugh or cry as they hurriedly explained.
Everyone finally understood.
Then, the way they looked at Ji Ruo changed.
Did he think of this method because he heard that there was a statue stolen in the stockade?
Using golden paint to disguise himself as a statue and waiting for the thief to come knocking on his door?
This was too f * ckingâŠSmart nowâŠ
Then, he heard that Ji Ruo had come once during the day. He had specially come to help, but because the stronghold was sealed, he could not enterâŠ
Moreover, Ji Ruo was a fresh graduate. It was said that he had just left school and ran to the border.
Therefore, the simple villagers began to praise Ji Ruo.
Ji Ruo was grinning from ear to ear as he received a huge pile of red flowers.
âYoung man, come to my house to wash up. My new water heater is very useful.
âCome to my house, come to my house. I just built a new house. You can rest at my house after taking a shower.â
âYoung man, have you eaten? Are you hungry? Yo, youâve been hunting thieves since this afternoon, right? I definitely havenât eaten yet. Letâs go to my house to eat.â
After learning about the number of good deeds, the villagers were very enthusiastic.
On the other side, the martial artists were already interrogating the tied up Josie.
However, the two sides did not speak the same language, so they could not interrogate him.
Josie had already woken up and understood his current situation. He also clearly knew that there was a language barrier between the two of them.
She was very cooperative with the martial artists âquestions.
But the answer she gave wasâŠ
âSpeak!â Hu Yonglin asked. Who sent you here?!â
Josie said with a serious face,âJiggle.â (Take a closer look. Youâre quite good-looking.)
âWhy did you steal the icon?â
âTsk tsk. (Kali, that guy, actually abandoned me and ran away. Thatâs too much.)
âWhere did you steal the three holy statues?â
âGulp gulp. (Iâve been caught, so pitiful. I wonder if these black-haired guys will give me something to eatâŠ)â
The martial artists asked as they took notes seriously.
Ji Ruo craned his neck to take a look and realized that they were really serious. They had recorded all the words that Josie had said in the form of empty ears.
âShe should have explained something just now. We donât understand it, so weâll record it down first. When the higher-ups send a language expert over, weâll show it to them.â
âYes, we have to keep a close eye on this guy!â
Ji Ruo was speechless.
Ji Ruo could understand their conversation the entire time, but he didnât say anything.
Because it was hard to explain.
Therefore, Ji Ruo was prepared to join in first, then find an opportunity to apply to watch over Josie, and then slowly interrogate him.
He was very interested in the words â my god â that Kali said when she summoned the crack.
After that, Ji Ruo was invited by a villager to take a bath at the villagerâs house.
The villagers gathered around to watch Josie.
âWhy is the thief a girl?â
âGolden hair, blue eyes, and white skinâŠltâs also a little good-looking.â
âIt just feels a little strange. That nose is too straight.â âWhat a pity. How could such a good-looking girl be a thief?â
âYeah, she canât even speak human language.â
The villagers discussed and pointed.
Although Josie did not understand, she felt a little uncomfortable being surrounded and pointed at.
A Thief would definitely feel uncomfortable being surrounded by so many people.
She was a little afraid. âJiâŠ(Lord God, you will save me, right?)
At a villagerâs house.
âYoung man, wait a moment. Uncle will boil some bath water for youâŠl donât even know if you can wash your paint. Iâll find you a change of clothes.â
âAlright, thank you, Uncle Li.â
On the way here, Ji Ruo already knew that the villagerâs surname was Li and his name was Li Dagui. Tonight, Ji Ruo would be staying at his house.
Although Ji Ruo was wearing a Taiji exercise suit, and the golden paint on his clothes would âslideâ off after a set of Taiji Fist, Ji Ruo didnât do that.
The Eight Treasures Stronghold was the place where the new Mystery Realm had descended. Moreover, the statue had been stolen. Although the thief had been caught, the warriors and villagers stationed there were still tense.
To be on the safe side, Ji Ruo didnât do anything out of line.
Moreover, he had something more important to do now.
Ji Ruo opened his clenched palm and put half a finger on it. The shadow had completely disappeared.
A few tiny black crystals appeared in Ji Ruoâs palm.
These crystals gave Ji Ruo a strange feeling. How strange was it? It was probably the kind of strange thing that could not be described.
âUncle Chen MO, do you know what this is?â
âHow would I know?â â Dog Chen Zai hasnât gone out to play for hundreds of years,â Chen MO said.â Besides, we donât share our memories.ââ
Rosie licked her lips and said,â Meow! Master, can I have this?â) â
âDo you know what this is?â Ji Ruo asked curiously.â
âMeow -(1 donât know, but I really want to eat itâŠ) It seems that eating it will allow me to evolveâŠâ
âEvolved again?â Ji Ruo was surprised.
âXiaoxiao, what do you think?â Ji Ruo asked.â
Others might not have seen an exotic girl like Josie, but Ji Ruo had memories of her.
Moreover, there were no tri-colored people in this world. At least, Ji Ruo had never heard of them.
Therefore, Ji Ruo suspected that the thief might have come out of the secret realm that had not yet completely descended.
Kaliâs summoning of the strange crack to escape seemed to prove this point.
There were probably humans in that new mystical realm as wellâŠ
âXiaoxiao, Iâm asking you.â
âXiaoxiao?â Ji Ruo lowered his head in confusion.
â I remember that he was stuffed into the pocket of the thief who ran away, â Chen MO said casually.â Didnât he run out just now?ââ
