Meanwhile, Jiang Ke’er had no idea what a big sensation she had caused.
She only knew that, according to the system’s records, one particular theft had yielded an extraordinarily high villain point score of 100 points, far exceeding any other theft!
Other thefts, depending on the opponent’s strength, would at most add 5 points, but mostly 1 or 2 points, a clear difference.
Her villain points currently stood at 180.
“Did I perhaps steal from a Seven Star realm big shot?” Jiang Ke’er was baffled.
That was the only possible explanation, as the Seven Star realm was her limit.
If she went any further, she’d be strung up by her tail and beaten into fox paste.
“The villain points gained from a single theft are not only related to the opponent’s strength but also to the value of the item and the severity of the consequences… You probably stole something incredible!” the Villain System replied.
“I see,” Jiang Ke’er nodded her small head in sudden realization.
Who knew what she had stolen? She didn’t recognize any of those things anyway… She’d figure it out later when she had more experience.
She looked at the tip of her tail, which had turned completely red, feeling a bit awkward.
She decided to do some good deeds to change the color back.
Of course, if she saw a suitable target, she would also unhesitatingly reach into their pockets in the name of holy light.
So, what kind of things counted as good deeds?
Walking on the street, Jiang Ke’er began to look for opportunities to act heroically… and for well-heeled merchant heroes.
Doing good deeds was much harder than stealing; the key was the lack of opportunity.
As a result, she searched all over the main road but didn’t find any old ladies who needed help crossing the street.
Instead, she ended up grabbing several large handfuls of spirit stones and stuffing them into her inventory.
There were also some useless miscellaneous items that she couldn’t return in time because the targets kept moving, so they were temporarily accumulating in her inventory.
“Sigh…”
She sighed, ready to give up and honestly be a villain.
But fate had other plans.
As soon as she turned around, she saw a little girl chasing a butterfly into the middle of the road, and in the distance, a galloping horse was racing towards them!
“Jiaojiao! Come back!” The little girl’s mother was terrified, only managing to anxiously call out her daughter’s name.
Recently, Wulei City had been bustling with many carriages, and the people from these prestigious sects were accustomed to acting arrogantly, never yielding to commoners.
As a result, dozens of traffic accidents occurred every day.
Passersby had long grown used to it.
Save someone? What did someone else’s death have to do with them? Although they had the ability to save, if they offended the senior immortals of those prestigious sects, more than one life would be lost!
Thus, others could only watch as the little girl was about to die under the horse’s hooves, sighing helplessly, but not daring to take any rescue measures.
But Jiang Ke’er was different.
She didn’t know the consequences of offending those prestigious sects, and even if she did, she wouldn’t care in the slightest.
She had long seen through it: there wasn’t a single good person in the entire Xiao Kingdom…
She was reborn in this life to redress the injustice for the little fox and to defy heaven, earth, and air!
Unless they killed her on the spot, sooner or later, she would steal everything from those sects, leaving nothing behind!
In the middle of the road, the little girl was completely unaware of the impending danger.
Jiang Ke’er was very close to her, but she still wasn’t sure if she could save her from the fast horse, as her body was weak at the moment, and her physical strength was not even comparable to an ordinary person.
But she didn’t hesitate; she immediately darted out, hugged the little girl, and lunged towards the roadside!
No hesitation, and there’s a glimmer of hope.
If she hesitated, it would truly be too late.
Even the fierce horse seemed accustomed to such situations and showed no intention of stopping or dodging.
It was only when Jiang Ke’er lunged out that it was slightly surprised, but that was all.
Its speed didn’t decrease at all, and its hooves came straight down towards Jiang Ke’er.
In the nick of time, Jiang Ke’er heard a faint whoosh beside her ear.
The horse’s hoof strangely shifted a bit… Jiang Ke’er wasn’t trampled, but the hoof scraped heavily against her back, making her wince in excruciating pain.
Her back was definitely going to be a large bruise.
This horse had incredible strength; her ribs almost broke.
The fierce horse continued to gallop, and the grey-robed Taoist on its back seemed completely unaware, not even looking back once, continuing to spur the horse towards the City Governor’s mansion.
Clearly, he didn’t consider the recent minor incident important at all.
Feeling the sharp pain in her back, Jiang Ke’er coldly smiled and put the strange box she had just felt into her inventory.
You hurt me, and you think you can escape unscathed?
I’ll take your treasure first; I’ve noted this grudge.
Sooner or later, I’ll kill your horse!
“Th-thank you, heroic lady, for saving her!”
At this moment, the little girl’s mother finally managed to recover from her panic, crying as she thanked Jiang Ke’er.
“No big deal,” Jiang Ke’er grinned, waved her hand dismissively, and turned to leave, as if she had done something insignificant, radiating an aura of heroism.
Watching the 500 good deeds points that instantly added up, Jiang Ke’er almost burst out laughing.
Even her back didn’t seem to hurt as much.
Amidst the little girl’s mother’s continuous gratitude, Jiang Ke’er glanced at the tip of her tail…
Hmm, it was white, a pure and clean white.
Yellow paired with white, honestly, it was quite cute.
She remembered a set of fox-girl emojis called “Kemomimi-chan,” where the little fox had just such a tail color.
She was quite similar to that little fox.
She’d just keep it this way for now~
Straightening her hood, Jiang Ke’er felt a wave of fatigue.
The thieving technique was an operation that consumed a lot of physical and mental energy, especially when she used it on those experts from the Wuji Sect later on.
She could clearly feel that each use of the thieving technique made her much more tired.
Towards the end, she was already delirious and had no idea what she had stolen…
Those two strange meatball-like items were probably inadvertently stolen in that state; she didn’t remember the specific process at all.
“Hah~”
She yawned, feeling like she could fall asleep on the street…
But the burning pain in her back stimulated her greatly, reminding her that she should go to a pharmacy first to buy some bruise medicine, lest she become an immobile, salted fox tomorrow.
All in all, today’s harvest was good!
Jiang Ke’er was in a good mood.
As she walked in the alley, she couldn’t help but hum a little tune.
“The sun winks at me~”
“The birds sing to me~”
“I’m a hardworking, yet unclingy little fairy~”
“The great king told me to patrol the mountains~ la~”
From beginning to end, Jiang Ke’er didn’t notice the dark shadow not far behind her.
The shadow’s eyes brightened a few more points as it heard the little tune Jiang Ke’er was humming.
“Interesting.”
