Chapter 270 Stealing the Vermilion Fruit, Chi Tian Ce! (Part 2)

"Are you crazy? That century-old Vermilion Fruit is Elder Lin's most treasured elixir! What are you trying to do with it?" Ling Xin'er exclaimed.

"Hehe, I'll steal it for you to eat! Don't be afraid, I promise I'll do it flawlessly." Bai Ke patted his chest lightly as he made his promise.

"I'm not going. You can go by yourself," Ling Xin'er said bluntly.

She never expected Bai Ke to be so bold as to set his sights on Elder Lin's century-old Vermilion Fruit.

Bai Ke withdrew his gaze and said meaningfully, "You don't need to go, but you'll be very useful. Watch closely, I'm about to begin my performance!"

After saying that, he slowly squatted down and stealthily slipped into the bushes on the other side. With a slight bend of his fingers, he flicked out a beam of spiritual light that shot towards Elder Lin.

Ling Xin'er, who had been watching Bai Ke's every move, covered her mouth in fright. Fortunately, the spiritual light only struck the ground behind Elder Lin, splashing up a large amount of mud.

"Who?" Elder Lin exclaimed in surprise.

He looked around but found nothing suspicious.

He snorted coldly, and the powerful divine sense of a Nascent Soul cultivator instantly spread out, covering the entire back mountain in the blink of an eye.

Having anticipated this, Bai Ke immediately activated the "Shadow Codex," desperately concealing his aura as his body instantly merged into the shadows of the trees behind him.

But Ling Xin'er wasn't so lucky. No matter how hard she tried to hide her aura, her early Golden Core cultivation level was completely exposed to Elder Lin's powerful divine sense.

"Little girl, come out here!" Elder Lin shouted.

Upon hearing this, Ling Xin'er knew she had been discovered, and could only awkwardly emerge from the bushes, looking embarrassed. She cursed inwardly, "That bastard Bai Ke, that big bad guy, he tricked me again!"

"Were you trying to ambush me just now?" Boss Lin asked with a stern face.

In truth, he was also puzzled. How could a mere Golden Core stage girl dare to be so presumptuous in front of him and act so abnormally?

"No...it wasn't me." Ling Xin'er felt helpless, wondering how she had inexplicably become Bai Ke's scapegoat.

"Not you? Then why were you sneaking around in my herb garden? Am I senile and wrongly accusing you?"

"It really wasn't me! Oh dear, I don't know how to explain this!"

"Who exactly are you? Who is your master? What are you doing in my herb garden?"

"My name is Ling Xin'er, my master is Elder Tian Xin, I... I was just wandering around... yes, just wandering around, and I accidentally ended up here!"

Faced with Elder Lin's barrage of questions, Ling Xin'er was extremely helpless. She couldn't reveal the culprit, Bai Ke, so she could only blush and stammer out a lie.

Elder Lin was clearly not an idiot.

Look, Elder Lin's "who are you trying to fool?" expression is the most vivid proof.

While Ling Xin'er was talking to Elder Lin, Young Master Bai Ke had already held his breath and transformed into a shadow, slowly advancing towards the century-old Vermilion Fruit. The round, bright red, and perfectly colored century-old Vermilion Fruit was now right in front of him!

The shadow that Bai Ke had transformed into slowly extended a branch, carefully turning over the surrounding soil. In no time, it separated the entire Vermilion Fruit, along with its roots.

Seeing that he had dug enough, Bai Ke immediately revealed his true form, plucked the Vermilion Fruit, and stored it in his storage ring. Immediately, a system notification sounded:

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the mission 'Oh~ It's so good!' and receiving 500 points of evil points as a reward!"

Hearing the commotion, Elder Lin hurriedly turned around and saw the scene before him. He was so angry that he trembled, raised a shaky finger to point at Bai Ke, and cursed, his face flushed:

"It's you again, you little brat! I haven't even settled the score from seven years ago, and now you're trying to steal my precious Vermilion Fruit again!"

"Hehe, Elder Lin, rather than letting this Vermilion Fruit rot and infest with worms here, it's better to let me have it. Don't worry, when I've achieved success in my cultivation, I'll definitely return a thousand or more of these spiritual herbs to you!" Bai Ke walked up to Ling Xin'er and laughed shamelessly.

"Aaaaaah! This is outrageous! Even if Bai Yan pleads for you this time, he can't save you! Give me back my precious Vermilion Fruit!" Elder Lin grew angrier and angrier as he listened, and when he thought of the other Vermilion Fruit that Bai Ke had stolen seven years ago, the anger in his heart could no longer be contained and exploded!

He charged at Bai Ke like an enraged old lion, exuding the powerful aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator, his eyes bloodshot, as if he wanted to skin him alive and tear him apart.

Seeing Elder Lin rushing towards them with a menacing aura, Ling Xin'er was terrified, but she still bravely stood in front of Bai Ke to shield him from the impact.

How could Bai Ke be the kind of person who would let a woman take the fall for him? He pushed Ling Xin'er aside and said boldly, "You rest well over there, I'll play with Elder Lin."

As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Lin's powerful palm strike came hurtling towards him!

Bai Ke stood still without moving an inch, even puffing out his chest as if he were bravely facing death.

With a loud 'bang,' Elder Lin's palm slammed into Bai Ke's chest, unleashing a powerful shockwave that sent the grass, trees, and flowers behind him swaying violently.

"Elder Lin, did you not eat enough?" Bai Ke, despite being struck, did not retreat an inch! He even had the mood to joke with the angry Elder Lin in front of him.

"I used a full seven-tenths of my strength..." Elder Lin said in surprise. The exertion had worn off, and he immediately felt a sharp pain, numbness, and swelling in his palm.

"I refuse to believe it!" Elder Lin, in a fit of rage, unleashed a surge of spiritual energy, striking Bai Ke with over a dozen palm strikes! Explosions resounded continuously.

A fierce wind blew, sand and dust filled the air, trees in the forest fell, and wild animals scattered and fled!

Ling Xin'er couldn't help but scream, "Brother Bai!"

As the dust settled, Bai Ke's powerful voice rang out:

"Xiao Xin'er, I'm fine. You should worry about Elder Lin."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xin'er looked over and saw Bai Ke standing there unharmed and full of energy. Elder Lin, on the other hand, was slumped on the ground in a sorry state, his hands a bloody mess, each movement causing excruciating pain.

"You..." Elder Lin was so angry that he couldn't finish his sentence. He pointed at Bai Ke with his scarred hand, which was trembling.

"Am I very hard?" Bai Ke said with a grin.

"Alas!" Elder Lin seemed to have all his strength drained away in an instant, his aged face looking extremely haggard.

"I am no match for your skills, I have nothing to say! Zhu Guo... take Zhu Guo." The white-haired old man seemed to have resigned himself to his fate and closed his eyes in pain.

Seeing Elder Lin's pitiful and helpless appearance, Ling Xin'er couldn't help but feel pity. She tugged at Bai Ke's sleeve and said, "Brother Bai, how can you be so cruel! Elder Lin is already injured like this, and you're still kicking him when he's down. Quickly return the Vermilion Fruit to him!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ke took out a Vermilion Fruit from his storage ring, held it up in front of Elder Lin, and said with a sly smile:

"Elder Lin, would you like it?"
