Chapter 1462: Chapter 1284: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

Next door, Long Aixi heard the noise and immediately rushed over.

Since entering the room, he had been paying close attention to the activities on Xia Dabao’s side, where Dongxiang had been sitting silently since she arrived, looking at Long Aixi with a strangely eager gaze.

As soon as Long Aixi reached Xia Dabao’s room, he saw a dark figure jump out the window, while Xia Dabao shouted at him, "Xiao’ai, chase quickly!"

Both of them jumped out of the window as well.

The night was deep, and the city was silent. Xia Dabao and Long Aixi closely followed the figure, with three shadows appearing and disappearing in the nocturnal town.

However, after reaching a quiet alley, Xia Dabao and Long Aixi lost track of the flower thief.

"What do we do?" Xia Dabao asked.

"Don’t worry," Long Aixi wasn’t flustered and began to play the jade flute.

Soon, several snakes were lured by the melody, and Long Aixi placed a broken bowl in front of them, which he had grabbed when jumping out of the window, stained with the thief’s blood. The thief must have been wounded by the shattered bowl when he fell upon it.

After coiling around the broken bowl for a while, the snakes started to slither forward, prompting Xia Dabao to ask, "Are these guide snakes?"

"Exactly, also known as tracking snakes," Long Aixi replied, and then said while pulling Xia Dabao along, "Let’s hurry up and follow them!"

Xia Dabao was puzzled, as Long Aixi had these tracking snakes, why didn’t he use them earlier? The flower thief had stolen so many girls’ favors; there must have been some of his belongings left behind.

Could it be that he was deliberately buying time?

...

The tracking snakes eventually stopped in front of an Inn to the west of town, where a light was still burning in one of the attic windows. Long Aixi said, "It should be here!"

"Then let’s hurry up and go in!" Xia Dabao said, about to climb over the wall, but Long Aixi stopped her, "Wait, you stay here on watch; I’ll go in through the front door."

Long Aixi planned to pose as a guest staying at the Inn and then burst in through the thief’s front door, while Xia Dabao would be ready at the window to intercept. They would trap the thief between them, leaving him no escape.

Xia Dabao then waited behind the building.

A quarter of an hour later, she heard the sound of fighting coming from upstairs, and shortly afterward, a figure flew out from the window. Seeing this, Xia Dabao quickly went to intercept, and before long, Long Aixi also leaped down.

The flower thief was skilled in lightness techniques but only mediocre in Martial Arts. Xia Dabao and Long Aixi joined forces and quickly captured him, binding the thief securely.

It was at this moment that Xia Dabao and her companions finally got a clear look at the true face of the flower thief.

"Wow, truly a pretty boy with delicate features," Xia Dabao commented, slapping the thief’s face. "With such looks, why couldn’t you just enter a brothel openly to seek pleasure instead of sneaking through windows like a sneak thief?"

Although captured, the thief was neither timid nor flustered and responded with a smirk, "Isn’t it because you have to pay at the front door? Going through the back door, not only is it free, but you also get to choose whoever you want to sleep with. But, who are you two to catch me? Dragon Tooth Gang?"

Long Aixi didn’t want to entertain the thief’s talk, merely looking at Xia Dabao saying, "Don’t waste words with him; let’s take him back first!"

"Alright!" Xia Dabao kicked the flower thief again, "Get up and walk!"

"Ouch, go easy, you’re almost breaking my leg," the thief complained. Tied up as he was, there was a rope hanging loose, and Xia Dabao just pulled it, leading him along like dragging an ox.
