Chapter 140: The Anti-Theft System
“Girl, I’ve brought back the papers from Class Three.”
The old man strode into the room just as Yun Jiao was deep in thought. His eyes immediately landed on a very familiar-looking jar on the table—and instantly lit up.
“Eh! You made something tasty again? This one’s for me, right?”
Before she could react, he reached straight for it.
“Wait—!” she blurted, trying to stop him. “That’s Ancestor Master’s—”
“What? Don’t tell me you’re not saving me any!” he complained before she could finish. Hugging the jar like treasure, he added, “This little bit must be what the old master didn’t want. You might as well give it to me!”
And without waiting for her reply, he whipped off the lid, grabbed a bright green pastry, and bit down hard.
Crack!
A crisp sound rang out—but the pastry stayed perfectly whole, while the old man’s tooth snapped. A bright line of blood trickled from his gums, flooding his mouth with the taste of iron.
