Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll

Monkey ran off with the healing mud that belonged to Tan Xiao and Cheng WeiCai.

Not only that, but he also emptied the gas tank of Tan Xiao's motorcycle. It seemed he was afraid that Tan Xiao would wake up and catch him.

"That little bastard! I knew he was bad news when he used a wire to pick the lock on the door!" Tan Xiao cursed angrily. "A leopard can't change its spots! Give him an inch and he'll take a mile!"

Cursing wasn't enough to express the grief in his heart. He wailed and grabbed his hair with both hands. "The mud I traded my life for! I haven't even used it once!!!"

The more he thought about it, the more distressed he became.

Compared to Tan Xiao's frenzy, Teacher Cheng was calmer. He earnestly advised Tan Xiao, "A setback may turn out to be a blessing in disguise. As the ancients said, the greatest fortune is to have no desires, and the greatest misfortune is to be discontent. Without desire, there is no pursuit…"

Tan Xiao was still pulling at his hair. He couldn't understand at all!

Teacher Cheng sighed and asked Shen Mo and Bai YouWei with concern, "Is your mud alright?"

"Yes, it's all still here," Shen Mo replied.

Tan Xiao became even more upset when he heard this. "Did that guy cherry-pick his victims or what? He only targeted the two of us?! Damn it!"

Bai YouWei was annoyed by his ranting and said impatiently, "If I were him, I would have chosen you two as well. One sleeps like a log with no guard, and the other is an old man who can be easily knocked down. Who else would he steal from?"

Tan Xiao felt wronged.

He admitted that Shen Mo was formidable, and it was normal for Monkey to not dare to touch Shen Mo's things. But what about Bai YouWei? Was he even worse than a delicate little girl?!

Bai YouWei yawned softly and said slowly, "As for why my mud is still here, it's easy to understand. He had already figured out that I'm a pampered young lady. So, with such crude conditions on this trip, I definitely wouldn't be able to sleep soundly and would wake up at any time during the night. The risk factor for him to steal from me would be very high. Moreover, Shen Mo is sleeping right next door to me. If there's any movement from my side, Shen Mo would know. So of course he wouldn't be stupid enough to target me."

After saying this, she sneered coldly and continued, "Also…don't forget, he still wanted to win me and Shen Mo over yesterday. He's smart enough to leave some leeway, so as to avoid burning bridges in case we encounter each other again in the future."

"Encounter each other again in the future?" Tan Xiao had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only grit his teeth and say fiercely, "If we ever meet again, I'll make him regret it! He'll know what it means to offend me, Brother Xiao!"

Bai YouWei didn't care about his determination. She yawned sleepily again and took out the mud from her bag. She casually tossed it towards Tan Xiao.

Tan Xiao was stunned for a moment. His body reacted faster than his mind as he reached out to catch it.

"Here, take it. It's only one piece. You and Teacher Cheng can share it," Bai YouWei said indifferently.

Tan Xiao's eyes widened.

It wasn't just Tan Xiao. Cheng WeiCai and Shen Mo were also taken aback. They looked at Bai YouWei in surprise.

"What are you all looking at me for?" Bai YouWei curled her lips and smiled nonchalantly. "Did you think I would cherish this thing? Hmph, it can't cure my leg anyway. What's the use of keeping it?"

After a few seconds of silence, Teacher Cheng tried to persuade her, "Don't be impulsive… Although this mud may not look like much, it's actually very useful! It can withstand nine external injuries! Nowadays, this world is becoming increasingly dangerous. Having a piece of mud might save your life someday. You have to think carefully."

Bai YouWei glanced at him with an expressionless face.

Although she didn't think much of the old man's weakness and nagging, she had to admire his lack of greed.

Tan Xiao was greedy, but taking Bai YouWei's mud obviously went against the principles of Jianghu that he upheld in his heart. So, he also laughed awkwardly, "This…how can I accept this… What if we encounter that kind of game again…"
