NFBE Chapter 286 The Treasure-Hunting Rat (End)!
Chapter 286 The Treasure-Hunting Rat (End)!
As for the "petty thief," he deserved it, considering the spirit beasts he smuggled.
One of the rats used as food for spirit beasts has reverted to its ancestral form, awakening not only the bloodline of the treasure-hunting rat but also the abilities of the Shadow Sky Rat.
The mouse that awakened its bloodline successfully escaped its fate of becoming food. Instead of running away, the little thing chose to settle down in this courtyard as its "home".
Treasure-hunting mice are all naturally inclined to collect treasures, but this particular mouse is different. It specializes in collecting shiny, round things, and with its unique talent, it has become a mischievous "little thief" in the Elders' Council.
This little creature is indiscriminate in its greed, and because of its bloodline, it is always successful at stealing, especially small items.
As a result, this time he stole the outer sect elder's beloved pearl, and following the clues, he was also arrested!
For Elder Qingpeng, it was simply bad luck; he suffered an undeserved calamity.
He once unintentionally helped this treasure-hunting rat by driving away a feline spirit beast that was eyeing it covetously.
The outer sect elder's precious pearl was round, shiny, and brimming with spiritual energy; it was completely embedded in the little treasure-hunting mouse's heart.
It had long coveted this precious pearl and tried to steal it several times, but failed each time. The little treasure-hunting rat was also somewhat lucky, as it was not discovered by the outer sect elders during those attempts.
Therefore, it could only give up for the time being. As soon as its cultivation level broke through, it immediately set its sights on the treasure it had been longing for.
After succeeding, in order to repay Elder Qingpeng, it reluctantly chose to give its favorite treasure to Elder Qingpeng.
This explains why the precious pearl was discovered in Elder Qingpeng's courtyard.
As for why it couldn't find it later, it was because the treasure-hunting rat saw the pearl being thrown back. It assumed Elder Qingpeng didn't like the pearl and was thinking of finding something more precious to repay him.
Although smuggling is important, capturing this petty thief is not easy. If it weren't for the tight net set up outside, this treasure-hunting rat that has awakened the Shadow Void Rat bloodline would probably have escaped!
As for the treasures it stole, they were all hidden in the spaces between its cheeks. It was only because the Daoist Lord in charge at the time had sharp eyes that he discovered them, otherwise it would have been a long search!
This treasure-hunting mouse is truly talented. In fact, based on the earliest time when the elders in the courtyard went missing, we can tell that this treasure-hunting mouse is not very old; it is still a young mouse.
The fact that this treasure-hunting rat hadn't been discovered in this courtyard for so many years suggests that it hadn't targeted the smuggled elixirs.
And because of its unique quirks, it has very few external resources available for cultivation.
The Elders' Council is rich in spiritual energy; this little mouse's Foundation Establishment cultivation was something he earned through genuine hard work.
Young in age, at the Foundation Establishment stage, able to deceive even a Nascent Soul stage elder, and a rare treasure-hunting rat.
When the buffs are fully stacked, it's not just outstanding talent, it's exceptional talent!
It can be said that all the elders and disciples present were tempted, except for that outer sect elder.
He truly loved the pearl. Although he envied the treasure-hunting rat's talent, the thought of having to offer up his own pearl if he made a contract with it made him forget all his desires.
Unable to resist "power," the little treasure-hunting mouse wilted completely after returning the stolen goods piece by piece.
Unexpectedly, the amount of "stolen goods" scavenged from this little creature was more than what had been previously registered.
Since no elders claimed it, it must belong to those disciples. This little thing is really diligent to have collected so many things in just a few years!
This little thing's thieving range has long since expanded beyond the Elder Council! I don't know why no disciples have come to report the thefts. Perhaps it's because they're all just worthless trinkets.
They really accepted everything that came their way. Even the disciples of the Enforcement Hall, who considered themselves well-informed, were still amazed.
I never imagined that someone would actually categorize love letters and use beaded strings to mark them—not just one, but many! And there weren't just one female protagonist, but many!
You're right, aren't you? Sword Peak's 130th Senior Brother!
The elders of the Enforcement Hall responsible for inspecting the unclaimed stolen goods turned pale. It should be noted that most of the elders and disciples of the Enforcement Hall came from Sword Peak and Body Peak.
This elder was also one of the other party's senior brothers, except that he came from Sword Peak and served as an elder of the Law Enforcement Hall.
Although he wasn't the main character, he inexplicably felt utterly humiliated.
He watched as the disciple in charge of the stolen goods hesitated, waiting for him to make a decision.
The elder made a direct decision: whatever is being sent, it should all be sent to the lost and found department!
Why bother making a special trip to Sword Peak when you can notify all the disciples of the sect to come and claim it? That damned bastard is so forgetful!
Hearing the elder's instructions, the disciples in charge of recruitment were incredibly excited, their expressions showing a mix of excitement and anticipation!
And this is yet another grand event!
Not to mention that this senior brother was confronted at his door by naive junior sisters who were unaware of his past, his past romantic entanglements also formed a group to block his door.
As mentioned earlier, the women he had harmed joined the Guiyuan Sect to seek revenge on him, diligently cultivating and forming a revenge alliance!
Upon learning that this guy not only failed to repent and change his ways, but also returned to his old ways, deceiving the female students unaware of his past, they were instantly enraged. They all came to his door without prior arrangement, determined to teach him a lesson.
They may not be as strong as him, but even two fists can't fight four hands, let alone so many people. Over the years, these women have also built up their own power within the sect.
Leaving aside their admirers, let's talk about their senior brothers. Upon learning that they were going to gang up on the scumbag, they all joined this righteous alliance!
It was horrible, horrible. The screams that day could be heard throughout the entire Sword Peak. The disciples of the Enforcement Hall said they had not received any reports and finally arrived late!
Thinking that the law does not punish the masses, and since the disciple did not die, he only verbally reprimanded these people a few times before leaving.
It was the Sword Peak Master who finally intervened, saving this rebellious disciple from his last breath and locking him up in the back mountain to reflect on his actions!
A century of confinement doesn't mean a real century; the speed at Confinement Cliff is different from reality, it's actually faster.
Originally, the Sword Peak Master really wanted to teach this disciple a lesson, so he specifically ordered the speed to be reduced. But isn't the Star Domain about to open?
Putting everything else aside, although this guy is a womanizer, his strength is truly outstanding. After all, without some strength, he would have been killed long ago!
Sword Peak Master was, after all, the other party's own master. Although he was disappointed in this disciple, he still did not want him to miss such a great opportunity. Therefore, he specially requested that he be released in advance!
Of course, the century-long confinement was real! It's just that time flowed faster there than in the outside world!
Unexpectedly, after only a few months out, this guy is still not behaving himself while cultivating. Looking at these letters, it's practically a sign of casting a wide net.
This guy is also extremely good at sweet talk. Those female disciples who don't know his inside story and have never encountered such skills before are no match for him.
Some female disciples actually took the bait and replied. This guy was quite sensible; he knew what was most important right now.
During the more than ten years he was confined, many talented junior brothers and sisters emerged. Now, the most important thing is to cultivate, otherwise it will be difficult to stand out among these outstanding senior brothers, sisters, junior brothers and sisters and obtain a spot.
These letters were merely a diversion for him during his spare time from cultivation, but now...
Let's not talk about how the relationship developed later; those junior sisters who were deceived have all seen through his true colors!
He became famous again in the sect and was even confined to the back mountain by his master until the sect's grand competition!
But a satisfying revenge, after doing so many despicable things, will inevitably backfire sooner or later. See, this is how he got his comeuppance.
When it came to who the gifted treasure-hunting rat would belong to, among all the elders, it ultimately chose Elder Qingpeng, because he had saved it, and more importantly, because in the naive heart of the treasure-hunting rat, Elder Qingpeng was a good person!
Elder Qingpeng was also the first human to treat it kindly!
The story of the treasure-hunting rat has officially come to an end. Elder Qingpeng did not sign a contract with the rat, but instead gave it to his daughter!
He was severely injured, his potential was exhausted, and he was not young anymore. His future cultivation would only be exhausted at the Nascent Soul stage. He was undoubtedly a burden to this gifted treasure-hunting rat.
But his daughter is different; she's young and has unlimited potential! Being with his daughter is good for both her and the treasure-hunting rat!
Of course, more importantly, Elder Qingpeng wanted to give the Treasure-Seeking Rat to his daughter, just as the Treasure-Seeking Rat wanted to give Elder Qingpeng the best of everything, Elder Qingpeng also wanted to give his daughter the best of everything.
Fortunately, after communicating with the Treasure-Seeking Mouse, it was not resistant. Knowing that she was the daughter of its benefactor, the Treasure-Seeking Mouse obediently made a contract with Senior Sister Shuxuan.
This theft incident affected too many people, and the development of the events was very tortuous and unpredictable, involving the privacy of many people.
Even now, there are still many unclaimed lost items in the Enforcement Hall.
Naturally, this made the sect disciples talk about it with great interest. Leaving aside the gossip about the sect's senior elders, just mentioning the treasure-hunting rat was enough to make people fascinated.
That was a treasure-hunting rat with exceptional talent! Which disciple wouldn't be envious when they learned that it had ended up with Senior Sister Shuxuan of Lefeng?
She envied the other person for having a father who doted on her immensely.
