Chapter 10: 1.010 Not Professional at All

On the tree trunk in front of the forest, two inexplicably terrified women were tied up, their mouths half-stuffed with wide strips of cloth, allowing them to emit only a series of incoherent sounds, "What... what are you guys doing..."

Little Fatty flapped its wings, vigorously slapping one of the women's faces, "That's what you get for having bad ideas! That's what you get for trying to rob us halfway through!"

"Mother, Mother, the bundles these people have are deathly poor; there isn't a single valuable thing in them." Doubao ran joyfully to Lie Yan's side, carrying a gold ingot weighing about three taels in its mouth.

Lie Yan was lightly poking Huo'er's head, continuing her lecture, "How many times has Mother told you not to act recklessly? Do you think you're very powerful? You're only as big as a fingernail; if a bad person pinches you, you'll fall over! Tell me, weren't you in danger just now!"

Huo'er nodded his little head repeatedly, his big eyes blinking, "Mother, I recited the Berserk Curse Grandmaster taught me, and I also attached Ice Spirit to my hands. Look at those two bad people, they're still frozen and haven't woken up yet!"

"In any case, if Mother didn't tell you to move, you cannot act recklessly."

"Oh..."

Lie Yan rolled her eyes helplessly, but Doubao couldn't wait, biting the gold ingot and pouncing forward, "Mother, Mother, these people are dead poor. After picking through everything, this is the most valuable thing."

The two women tied to the tree were nearly fainting from crying. They had come to rob, so why had they been robbed instead? And that gold ingot was actually something they had gotten from scamming a passerby a few days ago, uh!

"Doubao, robbery is wrong. Little children shouldn't do such things, do you understand?" As the mother of the children, Lie Yan educated them righteously, casually stuffing the gold ingot into her own bosom, "Mother is an adult; Mother can."

The three kids:...

The two women nearly fainted from anger; they had never seen such a shameless woman!

At this moment, the three men who had been lying on the ground, tied up like salted fish, woke up.

"Second Brother, Second Brother, are you okay? Second Brother!"

Seeing the three of them wake up, Huo'er jumped over happily and extended a small foot to kick one of them, "Hey, hey, you bad people, do you even know how to rob? Not professional at all! Every single one of you is an idiot and a fool, you can't even rob properly! Do it again! Rob us again!"

Lie Yan's mouth twitched, "Son, stop playing. We need to hit the road."

"Mother, Mother, wait a moment." Huo'er was relentless, kicking the three of them, "Rob us again, hurry up! Don't delay our journey."

"Exactly, exactly, so slow, hurry up and rob! Hurry!" Little Fatty flapped its wings, landing on one man's nose and stomping hard twice.

"Hurry!" Doubao raised all four legs in agreement.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

The three "zongzi-wrapped men" lying on the ground like dead dogs shook their heads and wailed, "Dear father, damn it, this is already the fifth time! Just let us go, please."

Lie Yan:...

"Sorry, everyone. My children here tend to throw a little tantrum after being woken up by noise. I forgot to tell you, no matter who you provoke, don't provoke my Huo'er. See? Isn't this a tragedy."

The three men and two women: Waaaah...

Half an hour later, the broken donkey cart finally set off once more. Lie Yan pulled Huo'er into her arms and gave him a curious look, "Son, what did you go back for just now?"

"I stripped the clothes off those three uncles. We'll sell them in the city later to exchange for silver to buy delicious food."

"Huo'er, you're so smart!" Doubao's eyes sparkled the moment it heard the word "food."

Lie Yan:...

Three men wearing nothing but small underpants were tied to the tree trunk. Their collapsing gazes and their miserable state, covered in tears and snot, left a profound impression on the passersby who happened to travel through the area...
