The city lord clicked his tongue provocatively, "You certainly have good taste. This figure must be irresistible. I wonder how it feels to the touch. How about I try it on for you?"
"If you dare to bully her, I will tear you to pieces!"
Yun Mo's eyes were bloodshot with rage, burning with fury, and he wished he could rush forward and kill that scoundrel on the spot.
"Hahaha!" The city lord laughed loudly, his laughter arrogant and smug.
Several figures descended from the sky simultaneously.
Yun Er held a bow, Yun San held two swords, and Yun Wu and Yun Qi surrounded the city lord.
Seeing Yun Mo's exasperated expression, Lin Yinan smiled slightly at him, and a tranquilizer dart suddenly appeared in her hand hidden in her sleeve. Under these circumstances, she would not place her hopes on others.
Even if he was deeply in love with her, or perhaps it was to maintain his male dignity.
It has nothing to do with her.
Lin Yinan's smile appeared so poignant and tragic to Yun Mo.
"Let her go, and I'll spare your life!" Yun Mo tried to negotiate with him.
Taking advantage of the situation, Yun Er and his group gradually approached. The city lord swayed slightly, his eyes scanning back and forth warily between them.
His men were either dead, wounded, or fled, but as long as they survived, with his abilities, how could he not make a comeback?
"How can you expect me to trust you?" The city lord was somewhat tempted by Yun Mo's suggestion.
Right now, Lin Yinan seized the opportunity while he was distracted, stabbed the anesthetic needle into his thigh, injected the medicine, and quickly pulled out the needle and threw it into her spatial storage.
The man felt the pain and tried to twist her neck with all his might, but then everything went black and he collapsed limply.
Lin Yinan snatched the sword from his hand and, the instant he fell to the ground, slashed the sword hard across his neck. Blood gushed out like an arrow, staining the earth red.
She quickly stepped back a few paces to avoid getting her shoes dirty.
Yun Er stared wide-eyed at Lin Yinan in disbelief. They had fought this demon all night, but she had easily defeated them.
What was even more unbelievable to him was that his master went berserk and chopped off the city lord's hands, then his feet, and then that place, even gouging out his unseeing eyes.
He looked at Yun San and the others with a complicated expression.
Has our master gone mad?
Or was it because he lost face in front of Miss Lin and was taking revenge by using the city lord's corpse?
Yun San, Yun Wu, and Yun Qi looked as if they had seen a ghost.
Having killed countless enemies on the battlefield, they had never seen such a mad master.
Lin Yinan ignored the frenzied Yun Mo and turned to walk into the magnificent palace behind.
The guards continued their search, walking along the palace to the back courtyard, where several beautiful women in gorgeous clothes were hurrying out, carrying bundles in their hands.
Lin Yinan's eyes were dazzled by a flash of gold in their bundles. She said to the guards beside her, "Stop them and open their bundles to check."
They are women who serve the city lord, and their bundles must contain a lot of things. With the outside world in such chaos, even if they take them out, they can't keep them safe, and it might even bring disaster upon themselves.
The guards untied their bundles, which contained only one or two sets of clean clothes, but mostly gold and silver jewelry.
“Leave the gold and jewels behind, so they can leave with some consideration.”
The women, though furious, dared not speak out and allowed the guards to rummage through their bundles.
After a thorough search, there were two full bundles of items. As for what they were wearing or wearing on their bodies, Lin Yinan didn't touch anything.
Seeing that they had seen enough, Lin Yinan waved her hand, signaling the guards to take them out.
Lin Yinan shook her head inwardly. Her body was covered in hairpins and jewelry, so ostentatious that she would probably be targeted as soon as she left the city gate.
Carrying two large bundles of gold, silver, and valuables, which were quite heavy, Lin Yinan quickly put them into her spatial storage as she reached the corner.
Lin Yinan arrived at a storeroom guarded by secret guards. The door lock had been broken open. The guards recognized her and did not stop her from going forward.
Pushing open the door, you enter a magnificent and resplendent interior filled with all sorts of rare and precious treasures.
Lin Yinan clicked his tongue in amazement. Indeed, from ancient times to the present, making money through shady means has always been the fastest way to make money.
Her eyes lit up as she looked at this and touched that, completely captivated by them.
After composing himself, Yun Mo noticed Lin Yinan was nowhere to be seen and assumed she had gone back first. He was about to lead his men to inventory the warehouse supplies when he entered and found her engrossed in a pile of glittering gold ornaments, her heart filled with joy.
Yun Mo was somewhat confused. If it were any other woman, she would have covered her face and hidden away to cry.
Miss Lin acted as if nothing had happened, clearly unaffected by what had just occurred.
My younger sister, Yunying, was heartbroken for a long time after her grandfather, father, and older brother got into trouble. She was dumped by her boyfriend and her mother was worried that she might do something drastic. She has only recently recovered thanks to Miss Lin's guidance.
Miss Lin is truly a remarkable woman!
The guards entered one after another, and Lin Yinan looked up to see Yun Mo directing them to collect the lightweight and valuable items.
"Has everything been handled properly outside?" Lin Yinan asked.
Yun Mo felt he hadn't protected her well and was somewhat afraid to meet her gaze. He lowered his eyes slightly and said, "It's all taken care of. Yun Er has already gone back to inform Second Brother. We'll set off immediately once they arrive."
Lin Yinan pointed to the room full of gold and silver jewelry and asked, "Are you taking all of this with you?"
"We can't take that many with us." Yun Mo's tone was full of regret.
"Stay here?"
"This is the only way."
Lin Yinan had an idea in mind. After they finished moving, Yun Mo had his guards lock the warehouse door again.
Using the excuse of wandering around, while Yun Mo led his men to move grain from the granary, Lin Yinan sneaked back to the warehouse, pried open the lock in two quick movements, slipped inside, and used his lightness skill to happily store all the remaining valuable items into his spatial storage.
