Chapter 24 Robbery
Song Lingyi looked at him in disbelief and found that there was some confusion in the eyes of the three men. She shook her head and sighed that these three bandits were still not professional enough.
Then the girl took a step forward and pointed to the old locust tree beside her.
“I planted this tree!”
“…” The three people behind him.
"I built this road!" The girl pointed to the bluestone slabs on the ground and spread her little hands forward.
"If you want to pass through here, leave some money for passage!"
Staring in shock, Master Liu finally came to his senses and shouted, "Hit, hit—"
Before he could even utter the word "robbery", Wang Chong held it in his stomach.
Wang Chong was tall and strong, and Master Liu was like a chick in his hands, unable to break free or move.
The girl wearing a fox mask approached with her hands on her hips, her demeanor arrogant: "Go ahead and yell, even if you scream your throat out, no one will care."
Xuanfeng tilted his head to look at her, his eyes were indescribable.
Why do I feel that Miss Ali is more like a "bandit" than them? Has she been led astray by them?
With his mouth covered by Wang Chong's hand and locked tightly in his arms, Master Liu was almost crying. He was mumbling incomprehensible words, probably begging for mercy.
But Song Lingyi didn't waste any time talking to him. She ordered Xuanfeng and another person to search him. After taking away all his money and valuables, they still felt it was not enough. Before leaving, they stripped him of his clothes until he was left with only his underwear.
A deserted and cold alley.
The four of them left in high spirits, leaving Master Liu alone, huddled in a corner and shivering.
Back to the bustling streets, Song Lingyi weighed the heavy purse in her hand. She was in a good mood and hummed a little song.
Xuanfeng and Wang Chong looked at each other, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
Soon, they arrived at the inn where they were staying.
Red lanterns were hung under the eaves, and the moonlight and candlelight intertwined, sprinkling on the man who was as bright as the moonlight.
Xiao Mingyi leaned against the door frame, his expression unclear, his narrow and long phoenix eyes looking at the four people.
Probably out of guilty conscience, except for the girl who was unaware of the situation, the other three people broke out in cold sweats.
"Boss." The three of them greeted him reluctantly.
Meeting the bandit leader's gaze, Song Lingyi felt as if a thorn was thorned in her back. She immediately hid her money bag behind her back and said, "Fifth Master."
After a moment of silence, Xiao Mingyi said, "If I remember correctly, I sent someone to look for you half an hour ago. Why did you come back only now?"
The four people at the bottom of the stairs lowered their heads and said nothing.
It’s like when I was a student, the bad students who were caught by the class teacher were all turned into saw-mouthed gourds.
However, among a group of bad students, there will always be one who will receive 'special attention'.
"Ali."
When her name was suddenly called, Song Lingyi's shoulders trembled slightly.
Xiao Mingyi gave the other three a look, asking them to go into the inn first. For a moment, only the two of them were left at the door.
"Have you gotten into trouble again?"
Recalling what happened in the alley, Song Lingyi subconsciously denied it, pretending to be innocent: "No."
The moonlight shone on the girl's beautiful eyes. Xiao Mingyi had a calm expression and did not pursue the cunning that flashed in the girl's eyes.
Because there was a temple fair in the city, in addition to the bandits in the village, there were also many travelers who came here to play, and the inn was very noisy.
To avoid further questioning from the bandit leader, Song Lingyi rushed to her room on the second floor as soon as she entered the inn. Before entering, she asked the waiter to prepare a large bucket of hot water.
She hadn't had a proper bath during these days of traveling.
The door of the room was closed, and hot mist was rising from behind the carved partition. The girl put down all her burdens and took a comfortable hot bath that she had not had for a long time.
The girl's black hair fell down like a waterfall. She closed her eyes and lay drowsily on the edge of a large wooden barrel. Her skin exposed to the water was porcelain white and shiny, and her lips were moist and rosy.
Don't soak in a hot bath for too long.
A quarter of an hour later, Song Lingyi wrapped herself in a clean white inner garment and walked around the partition.
The two straps of her inner garment were rather troublesome, so she tied them as she walked. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a figure in the direction of the bed. Her eyebrows twitched, and she looked up.
The bandit leader sat lazily on the edge of the couch, fiddling with the money bag she had 'robbed' with his right hand.
The house fell into silence.
Xiao Mingyi raised his eyes indifferently, and cast a glance at the girl with his black eyes that were filled with a cold smile, "Where did you get this purse?"
"..." The girl's eyes were vague and she remained silent.
"I told you before that you had to keep a low profile on this trip. Not only did you tease others in the restaurant, you also instigated Xuanfeng and the others to rob."
Xiao Mingyi raised his eyebrows slightly and asked coldly, "Have you grown wings?"
Smoke rose from the incense burner on the table, and the atmosphere in the room was as tense and oppressive as a fully drawn bowstring.
The normally eloquent girl seemed to have a ball of paste stuck in her mouth at this moment, and it took her a long time to utter a sentence: "He was the one who molested the decent woman first."
Besides, they are bandits, so they don’t care who they rob.
Xiao Mingyi lowered his brows and said in a cold voice, "Come here."
Half the room separated the two of them. The girl standing in front of the carved partition raised her feet and slowly walked towards the bed.
The closer the distance, the more you can feel the coldness emanating from the bandit leader.
When it comes to begging for mercy, of course, you have to be proactive. Song Lingyi's eyes turned, and she knelt down in front of the bandit leader, spreading her palms in front of him, with a sad face.
"Fifth Master, I was wrong."
"Even if Mr. Liu molested a decent woman, I shouldn't have scolded him, let alone robbed him."
"I didn't take your words to heart. Go ahead and hit me."
After finishing the "review", Song Lingyi raised her palms, pouting her red lips slightly, looking very charming and endearing.
How could Xiao Mingyi not see through her tricks? He didn't fall for it at all.
"So, you accept the punishment?"
Song Lingyi hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.
Suddenly, a long arm grabbed her slender wrist, and before she could react, she fell on the man's knees with a brutal force, feeling dizzy. The strong leg muscles pressed against her lower abdomen, causing a slight pain.
The familiar woody scent filled her nostrils, like a large net that tightly trapped her, leaving no room for escape.
Song Lingyi was shocked.
In this position, she couldn't see the bandit leader's face at all, and could only lie like meat on a chopping board, allowing him to slaughter her.
A strong sense of unease washed over Song Lingyi, and she struggled to stand up. "Fifth Master, I admit my mistakes. Please forgive me this time..."
Just as her body rose an inch, she was pressed down by the man's big hand.
"Didn't you say you accepted the punishment? Do you want to let it go now?"
A deep and cold voice sounded behind her, and Song Lingyi's back stiffened slightly and her whole body felt numb.
"I know I was wrong, and I won't do it again next time."
As soon as the last syllable fell, a strong force landed firmly on the girl's buttocks.
"ah!"
Song Lingyi screamed in shock, feeling ashamed and angry.
She had lived two lifetimes and had never been spanked, yet this bandit leader actually dared to spank her!
Tears welled up in her dark eyes instantly.
The man surnamed Liu molested a decent woman in public. What was wrong with her speaking up for justice? Besides, she wore a mask during the robbery, so no one could discover their identities.
