Hearing his father's angry voice, Jin Yi instinctively wanted to run away.

But then I thought, I still have a mission to accomplish.

He had no choice but to move over reluctantly: "Dad, why are you angry again?"

Jin Yue kicked him angrily: "You little bastard, you didn't make any progress after going to the secret realm!"

"Who said that?"

The young man was unconvinced and said, "I have gained two stars!"

"Humph! Don't play dumb, you know what I'm talking about!"

Jin Yi rolled his eyes, picked up a bunch of grapes from the stone table, and handed it to his father: "Hey, old man, can you stop losing your temper every day? If you get really angry and die, the position of city lord will be given to someone else."

"By the way, Dad, I heard that a top-quality crystal stone appeared in the secret realm. Don't we have one at home? Isn't it time for you to pass it to me to play with?" The young man asked tentatively with a playful smile.

Jin Yue glared at him fiercely: "Don't even think about it! I'd rather bury it in the ground than let you destroy it!"

"Why are you so fierce?! If you don't want me to give in, forget it. Let's go and sleep. I'm tired from the journey. Old man, don't call me for dinner tomorrow morning!"

The young man said this and waved his hand casually, then went upstairs.

Jin Yi was a little depressed.

The old man's attitude clearly shows that he won't give it to him. It seems that he can only go and get it himself at the party~

midnight.

A furtive dark figure came down from upstairs, looked around, pushed open a door of a room on the ground floor and slipped in.

City Lord Jin Yue had a bit of insomnia tonight, tossing and turning and unable to sleep. Thinking back to the dinner, the snake beasts seemed to not want the brat to go with them again. But if he didn't make contact, wouldn't that mean he would have no chance?

He tossed and turned in bed and decided to go out for a walk. Just as he sat up, he suddenly heard a very faint sound coming from the room outside.

???

Jin Yue narrowed his eyes.

What was that kid doing sneaking into that room in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?

In addition to miscellaneous items, the room also had a secret passage, which contained all the treasures he had collected over the years, including the Golden Luan.

In the past, the brat always looked down upon these treasures, so why has he become such a money-grubber today?

Not long after, Jin Yue heard another rustling sound, as if the kid had gone out.

Could it be? ...

Jin Yue made a bold guess.

He stood up and quietly followed the boy.

The young man went straight to the little female's residence, and then came out again after a while, his face still full of excitement.

Jin Yue and the other boys went upstairs and went to the secret passage. As expected, except for Jin Luan, all the other treasures were there~

Jin Yue's shrewd and sharp eyes turned.

This top-grade crystal was indeed a treasure, but the probability of it being used was almost zero. In the entire continent, he knew that only the high priest of the Snow Mountain Temple was close to a god and might be able to use it, but other orcs had no hope at all.

Rather than keeping a treasure that is basically useless, it is better to fulfill his child's wish.

Not as good as...

Jin Yue's handsome face slowly revealed a cunning smile~~

...

The next morning, Luo Yuanyuan was awakened by shouts from outside: "Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan, please go and plead for mercy, the young city lord is about to be beaten to death!"

Bai Ye immediately went out, and came back to the room a moment later and said:

"I heard from Chang Yu that the little bird was being beaten on the ground by the city lord because he took some treasure and refused to hand it over."

Luo Yuanyuan hurriedly stood up and ran out in panic.

Qingjue grabbed her and said, "Yuanyuan, where are you going?"

"Of course I'm going to plead for mercy! Jin Yi was beaten by the city lord because of the crystal he gave me last night. If I'm not mistaken, this idiot took it out secretly. If I don't go, he's going to be beaten to death!"

The snake beast picked her up and said, "Let's go together."

When they went out, Chang Yu saw Luo Yuanyuan and his expression was complicated for a moment, but he quickly adjusted his expression and said anxiously:

"Yuanyuan, please follow me. The city lord likes you very much, and your help in pleading may be helpful. As for others, I really don't know who to turn to."

"Okay." Luo Yuanyuan responded.

The six of them quickly arrived at the city lord's castle and heard Jin Yue's roar from a distance:

"You little bastard, why don't you hand over the things? I want to see who is harder, your words or my stick!" Then there was the sound of a hard object hitting flesh.

Luo Yuanyuan was panicking and anxious. She got out of the snake beast's arms and said, "Let's hurry up."

After saying that, he ran quickly into the gate.

When they went in, they saw Jin Yi lying on the ground with his green robe peeled off. The city lord Jin Yue was holding a wooden stick as thick as a fist and beating the boy's fair back hard again and again. The whole back was red and swollen, and many places were cracked and bleeding.

Blood slowly flowed from the corners of the boy's lips, but he still said stubbornly and weakly: "Anyway, the crystal stone was to be left to me, I just took it in advance... If you are angry, just beat me to death..."

Jin Yue got even angrier after hearing this. His eyes widened as he hit him on the back with a stick: "Okay, I'll do as you wish today, so I won't be pissed off by you!"

Luo Yuanyuan's tears suddenly came out.

This stupid guy would rather get beaten than tell the truth. If he continues to be beaten, he will really die!

If it really doesn't work, just return Jin Luan to her and talk about it later. Anyway, she couldn't just watch Jin Yi being beaten.

Luo Yuanyuan took a deep breath, rushed forward, and grabbed Jin Yue's wrist:

"City Lord, don't hit him, actually..."

"Little flower demon! This has nothing to do with you. Don't worry about me. Just go out first..." When the young man heard that the little female was about to reveal the truth, he immediately interrupted her.

If he handed over the Golden Luan today, wouldn't he have been beaten in vain?

He finally had the chance to help the little flower demon, and he didn't want to fail.

Luo Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment. She understood what the boy meant, but if he didn't return the crystal, what should she say next? How could she plead for him?

The corners of Jin Yue's lips curled up slightly, and he asked proactively: "Yuanyuan, are you here to plead for this brat?"

Luo Yuanyuan nodded stupidly.

"Okay," Jin Yue said cheerfully, "for your sake, I will let him go today. However, even if he escapes physical pain, there will be other punishments. Yuanyuan, I want to talk to this brat alone."

Luo Yuanyuan nodded.

She didn't have to be beaten before she even started to beg for mercy? Was her face so easy to use?

Luo Yuanyuan walked out the door dizzy.

A moment later, the boy staggered out.

Luo Yuanyuan rushed over, holding his arm with one hand and reaching behind him with the other to heal his wound: "Jin Yi, has the city lord let you go? Is there any other punishment?"

The young man's breathing was unstable, and he took a few shallow breaths: "It's no big deal, the old man said that he would no longer recognize me as his son, and would not let me return to Qianyu City."

"What? You will never be allowed to come back?" Luo Yuanyuan's eyes widened in shock.

This punishment is too severe.

This bird tribe is Jin Yi’s home. If he is not allowed to go back, how difficult it will be for him as a young boy living alone outside in the future!

Luo Yuanyuan felt very guilty.

A trace of pain passed through my heart: "Then there is no other way to ease the pain?"

"There is one..."

The young man paused at this point, glanced at the little female secretly, and a suspicious blush suddenly appeared on his fair cheeks.

Luo Yuanyuan asked in surprise: "What method?"

"Yes, well... once I have a cub... I can come back..." The boy's face turned even redder.

Luo Yuanyuan widened her eyes.

Qingjue, Baiye, Yinli, Little Black Dragon: "......"
