With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods
Chapter 426 Pickpocket (3)



When the bearded man heard this voice, he couldn't help trembling.

That was because no matter where it was, he would always recognize this voice.

It was Yi Xue.

But she should be at the inn, so why was she here?

She was here because while on a shopping trip, she had found someone who she had never expected to see. However, she would never mistake this person because he had been on her mind since the day that he had left.

So when she saw him running through the streets, she couldn't control her feet as she started running after him.

She had lost him for a bit when he ran into the alley, but when she found him again, she found him sitting there on the ground with someone with a sword in front of him. She didn't even think as she ran forward to stand in front of him.

This ended with the situation here where she was standing there protecting him.

The bearded man only took a single second to be stunned before he shouted, "Get out of here! This doesn't concern you!"

But Yi Xue firmly stood there in front of him, not moving a single step as she stared at 'Mu Bao Bao'.

'Mu Bao Bao' also didn't do a thing as she stood there staring at the two of them in front of her. There was no expression on her face, but there was a trace of amusement in her  eyes, as if she found what she was seeing in front of her interesting.

Seeing this, while Yi Xue didn't know what was happening here, she decided to take a chance.

She knew that if she didn't do a single thing, then all that would happen is that they would lose their lives.

So at the very least, she had to say something to see if she could get them out of this situation.

Yi Xue took a deep breath before saying, "I don't know what's happening here, but how about we just end it here? I'm sure that there's nothing for you to gain from killing him, right? In fact, all that will happen is that you will be captured by the town guards for murder. So isn't it better to leave it like this?"

There was a slight tremble in her voice as she said this, but she was able to say everything that she wanted to say in the end.

But…'Mu Bao Bao' didn't look at her once while she said this.

During this whole time, she had been looking at the bearded man with a focused look.

Yi Xue didn't know why, but there was a bit of a tremble in her heart when she saw this.

After a long period of silence, Yi Xue opened her mouth again to speak, "What do you…"

Before she could finish speaking, she found that there was a sharp pain that came from her chest.

When she looked down, she saw that there was a blood red line that was on it. 

This red line kept releasing a red liquid that dripped down from her chest and reached the ground. There was even a pool of this red liquid that had been formed at her feet.

Then when she looked up, she saw that there was the same red liquid that was dripping down from the tip of 'Mu Bao Bao's' sword.

The last thing that she did was turn around to look at the bearded man.

With her lips, she mouthed, "I love you."

Then she fell straight forward and landed in a pool of her own blood.

She just laid there in that pool of blood with a smile on her face since she was able to say the thing that had been in her heart for all those years. It was as if there was a large weight that had been lifted off her chest with these words.

But it was different for the bearded man.

When he saw her lying there in a pool of her own blood, his eyes started turning red.

He was no longer controlled by the fear that he felt and instead, he suddenly gave a roar of rage.

Even if he had rejected her, this was the girl that he had loved once upon a time.

Seeing her being cut down in front of him like this, there was no doubt that he wouldn't be able to control the rage that he felt.

So without hesitation, the bearded man got off the ground.

He pulled his sword out from behind him and swung out at 'Mu Bao Bao' standing there.

'Mu Bao Bao' didn't panic at all when she saw this and she easily stepped out of the way. The sword that was in her hand didn't even move an inch, as if she didn't feel any threat from this bearded man.

The bearded man didn't stop there as he was suddenly covered in flames.

This was a special flame that he had created with his spiritual energy.

This bearded man was by no means weak when it came to fighting cultivators at the same level. With his special cultivation technique that he had found by accident, he was able to easily defeat those at the same level and even cross levels to fight people.

It was just too bad that he was completely outclassed by the person in front of him.

Even with all the power that he had, he wasn't able to do a thing to 'Mu Bao Bao'.

The flames around him assaulted her, but she just blew them all away with a single breath. She didn't seem bothered by the flames at all as they couldn't leave a single mark on her body.

At the same time though, the wind that was generated from the breath that she gave knocked the bearded man down onto the ground. The flames scattered away and disappeared without a trace as he landed.

After looking down at him for a bit, she asked, "Are you disappointed that you couldn't protect her? Do you hate yourself?"

The bearded man couldn't help trembling when he heard this.

He looked up at 'Mu Bao Bao' with a twisted expression on his face, but she just looked at him without any expressions.

Finally, she revealed a smile and asked, "How does it feel to not be able to protect the one you loved? How does it feel to be the one that caused her death?"

The more that she asked, the more it felt like she was digging into his heart with her words.

Finally, the bearded man looked up at her and asked, "What do you want?"

'Mu Bao Bao' revealed a disappointed look when she heard this. She looked down at the bearded man and said, "Why do you have to ruin the fun?"

Before the bearded man could respond, he suddenly felt a pain coming from his chest.

When he looked down, he saw that there was also a line of red that was there just like the one that had been on Yi Xue's chest. There was also red liquid that dripped out of this line of red, creating a pool of this red liquid in front of him.

When he followed this pool of red liquid, he saw that it was mixing with the red liquid that came out of Yi Xue.

Just like this, they had been connected by this red string of blood.

With this, the bearded man also revealed a smile as he let himself go, falling forward towards Yi Xue's body.

After that, there was only 'Mu Bao Bao' who was left in this alley.

She looked at the two in front of her and then shook her head as she said, "I just don't get these human emotions."

Without another world, she jumped and disappeared from the spot.

She didn't notice the mosquito who had been watching everything from the corner.

…

In a restaurant, there was a table that was covered in empty plates. But at the same time, there were two cloaked who were currently stuffing their faces.

The people around them didn't pay them any attention since they seemed like they were already used to this. But it would be strange if they weren't used to it since this group of three had come at the same time for the past few days.

The one person who wasn't eating took a sip of the tea in front of him before falling into deep thought.

But then, he suddenly knitted his brows as he saw something.

It was the scene of an innkeeper being dragged to a certain alley and then being killed in front of two corpses. He had broken down the moment that he saw these corpses and cursed out the one that had brought him there, but in the end, he was cut down just like these two.

Then that person disappeared once more.

But the mosquito was able to keep track of this person since they were on them.

So when that person disappeared, the mosquito was with them.

This person found a new inn to live in and then locked themselves in their room.

As for who that person was, it was naturally 'Mu Bao Bao'.

Lin Fan couldn't help feeling at a loss when the mercenary group had been slaughtered.

'Mu Bao Bao' hadn't used anything special, so he hadn't been able to replace any clues about her.

That meant that his plan had gone completely wrong and now he had no idea what to do…
