Chapter 118: Very Likely a Wish Spirit

"Why so anxious! That kid is definitely just trying to scare us! We took everything from him, what can he use to send his location? Does he really think we’re idiots!"

"Second brother, it’s not that I’m anxious," the skinny man glanced at Pei Xiubai’s indifferent face, growing more uncertain and anxious as he said:

"I asked around before. The largest zoo in this area is run by his family, so maybe they really have a way to send out a message. And I checked, the next village we’re passing through is exactly Fuxin Village, just like what that kid said!"

"Second brother, I think it’s better to believe there’s something than to assume there’s nothing! Why don’t we take a different route? If that kid’s people are waiting for us at Fuxin Village, aren’t we going to..."

The scar-faced man thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, let’s take another route!"

He then turned sternly and pointed at the skinny man, saying, "Go, drug that kid for me so he doesn’t try anything funny again!"

The skinny man, hearing this, quickly grabbed some knockout powder and was about to forcibly shove it into Pei Xiubai’s mouth.

Unexpectedly, the next second, his hand was suddenly grabbed and twisted back by a fair hand, and the powder was force-fed into his own mouth!

The young man who held his hand was pale and indifferent, his dark eyes devoid of any warmth, looking at him as if staring at a dead person.

"You..."

The skinny man’s eyes widened in disbelief, never expecting him to make a sudden move. Not long after, the drug took effect, and he completely passed out.

The whole process was quiet, swift, and silent.

The little loli beside him watched Pei Xiubai’s quick, precise, and ruthless counterattack with admiration, her big dark eyes filled with awe.

Brother Xiu Bai is amazing, even more so than daddy!

Pei Xiubai remained silent, discreetly observing the three men chatting ahead and the driver, ensuring none of them were looking their way, then he laid the skinny man down on the seat.

Reaching out, within seconds he found a pile of things on that man.

Phone, wallet, ID card, chewing gum... all a bunch of useless stuff.

The signal in the mountains was poor; having a phone was as good as not having one.

After searching thoroughly and finding nothing useful, the young man’s delicate brows furrowed tightly, his pale face slightly darkening.

The little loli quietly shuffled over as well, reaching out her plump, fair little hand to help her brother feel into uncle’s small pocket.

Pei Xiubai turned his head slightly, pulled her hand away, and whispered, "Don’t touch, it’s dirty, just watch."

"Oh... okay, Li Li will listen to you."

The little girl obediently blinked her big eyes, watching for a while before a trace of doubt crossed her eyes, and she asked in her childish voice, "Brother Xiu Bai, what are you looking for?"

Pei Xiubai paused and still answered, "A knife."

"A knife?" The little loli tilted her head with a puzzled look, "Why are you looking on uncle’s body? Isn’t there a knife on the floor?"

"...Where?"

Pei Xiubai frowned his delicate eyebrows, glanced at her skeptically: "Where is it?"

Why didn’t he see it?

"Here, next to Li Li."

The little loli slid down from the seat, bent down, felt around near her seat, and then pulled out a gleaming knife.

She held up the knife, asking with a face full of confusion, "Brother Xiu Bai, do you want this knife?"

"..." Pei Xiubai was silent for a long time before throwing aside the useless man in his hand, reaching out to take the knife, and sighed, "Yes, this is exactly what I need."

Pei Xiubai never believed in luck, but this little girl forced him to believe it. For some unknown reason, he pursed his lips and tried to ask:

"...Do you have any medicine?"

"No," the little loli felt around for a long time, eventually shaking her head, "Li Li didn’t find any, Brother Xiu Bai, do you want medicine?"

"Yes. It’s more convenient with medicine," Pei Xiubai pressed his thin lips, still with a cold demeanor: "Even without medicine, the knife is enough..."

"Hey, Brother Xiu Bai, medicine."

The little loli pointed at a bottle that had somehow rolled over on the ground, picked it up with her little hand, and handed it to Pei Xiubai, smiling brightly, "Brother Xiu Bai, look, we have medicine now."

"..."

He suspected this little thing might actually be some kind of Wish Spirit.
