Global Superpower: I Control All Elements

Chapter 67: Plunder

After Wang Jianlai left, Chuchu looked at Qin Feng anxiously.

“Brother, will the Lin family really send people after us?”

“So what if they do?” Qin Feng smirked mischievously. “Do we really have to sit here and wait for them to come? We’ll head into the city shortly.”

“You’re right!” Chuchu’s eyes lit up. “This is outside the city, where combat restrictions are loose. Once we’re inside, the Lin family can’t act recklessly.”

“Little girl, take a look at this!” Qin Feng suddenly pulled out a storage ring.

“This is…” Chuchu looked puzzled.

“The storage ring from that woman earlier!”

“Ah…” Chuchu’s eyes widened in surprise. Then, she exclaimed with excitement, “Big brother, I didn’t even see you take it! How did you do it?”

“Don’t say it like that!” Qin Feng flicked her forehead playfully. “It’s not stealing—it’s taking!”

“Hehe, does it have a lot of good stuff inside?”

“Yes, there’s a low-tier elemental weapon and some other decent items. Let me take a closer look…” Qin Feng nodded in satisfaction as he examined the contents.

Chuchu watched him with delight, though soon worry crept into her expression. “Big brother, will she come back for it?”

“She better not!” Qin Feng sneered. “And even if she does, what can she do? Does she have any proof?”

…

Meanwhile, after leaving the defense zone, Lin Xue was hurrying back to the city. She needed to relay the shocking news to her cousin. It was clear that something had happened to Xuyang.

The thought of it made her feel uneasy. She could already imagine her cousin’s wrath once the truth was revealed.

“Huh? Where’s my storage ring…”

As Lin Xue glanced at her right hand by chance, she realized her ring finger was bare. Her storage ring had vanished without a trace!

Her face turned pale instantly.

That ring contains my elemental weapon and the majority of my assets!

How can it disappear out of nowhere?

Panicking, Lin Xue started to retrace her thoughts. Even as a member of a noble family, losing that much wealth was a heavy blow.

Could it have happened…

She suddenly recalled her clash with Qin Feng.

If she had dropped it, it must have been during that encounter.

Could Qin Feng have taken it?

If that were true, Qin Feng’s strength is far more terrifying than I realized. For him to take my ring without me noticing…

How fast must his movements have been?

If he had intended to kill me, I would likely have been defeated in an instant.

This realization sent a chill through Lin Xue’s body.

What now? Should I go back and demand it?

After a moment’s hesitation, Lin Xue dismissed the thought.

Previously, Qin Feng hadn’t harmed her because Wang Jianlai was present. Returning alone now could lead to unpredictable outcomes.

Moreover, she hadn’t noticed her ring was gone during their confrontation. If she returned now, how could she explain it? There was no evidence.

It seemed she had no choice but to accept the loss.

The thought made Lin Xue’s heart ache, but she quickened her pace.

She had to inform her cousin so he could take action against that infuriating boy as soon as possible!

On the other side, Qin Feng finished inspecting the ring and tucked it away with satisfaction.

It contained plenty of valuable items—a delightful surprise.

“Little girl, take this!” Qin Feng casually handed her a bottle of pills.

“Brother, what’s this?”

“Look—there’s a label on the bottle. Read it for yourself!”

Chuchu examined the side of the bottle and broke into a joyful smile after reading it.

The pills were called Ice Spirit Pills, a rare cultivation resource for ice element practitioners. They could accelerate ice solidification for ice body cultivators or enhance the power of a one-star ice elemental master.

“Wow! Brother, where did you get this?” Chuchu exclaimed excitedly.

With her Divine Ice Fruit, she could soon begin cultivating her ice element. The Ice Spirit Pills would greatly accelerate her progress.

“Where else? From that woman, of course!” Qin Feng replied with a smile.

The Ice Spirit Pills were somewhat useful to him, but not significantly so. That’s why he gave them to Chuchu, hoping she could complete her ice body transformation sooner.

After all, Qin Feng could absorb ice-elemental beast cores, something Chuchu couldn’t do that.

“Hehe! Brother, I heard a single Ice Spirit Pill costs 100 million! And there are three in this bottle—that’s 300 million! That woman must be heartbroken!”

Chuchu was overjoyed.

In this world, cultivation resources were exceedingly scarce, making them incredibly expensive.

Qin Feng, however, shrugged nonchalantly. To him, the effect of 50 Ice Spirit Pills wouldn’t compare to a single low-tier beast core.

Resources like this were plentiful and easy for him to obtain.

“All right, little girl, put it away now!”

“Mm!” Chuchu happily tucked the pill bottle away.

At that moment, a powerful surge of water-element energy rippled from the place where Liu Yan was in seclusion.

Chuchu was delighted. “Brother, it’s Sister Yan! She must have broken through to the early stage of two-star Elementalist!”

“Let’s go! Let’s check it out!”

The siblings made their way toward Liu Yan’s seclusion chamber.

As they arrived at the door, Liu Yan emerged with a look of joy on her face.

With one glance, Qin Feng could tell that she had indeed reached the early stage of the Two-Star Water Elementalist.

She had successfully broken through.

“You’re back!” Liu Yan greeted him warmly, her eyes lighting up.

But then, her face inexplicably flushed red.

She recalled this man’s boldness last time, which left her with a lingering impression. It was almost… nostalgic. Unfortunately, Chuchu was present.

Seeing her, Qin Feng gave a slightly awkward smile.

“Sister Yan, congratulations on reaching two-star!” Chuchu cheerfully congratulated her.

Her happiness was genuine; the two women had built a close bond over time.

“Not bad at all!” Liu Yan was in high spirits.

“By the way, while I was in seclusion, I thought I heard sounds of a fight outside. Did something happen?” Liu Yan asked suddenly.

“Uh… Sister Yan, someone from the Lin family came by earlier…” Chuchu briefly recounted the events.

After listening, Liu Yan was furious. “They think they can just take my people? Even if the city lord came, they wouldn’t dare! Who do they think they are?”

Ridiculous!

Chuchu is my money tree!

Anyone who dares to touch Chuchu will have to deal with my wrath.

“Chuchu, if the Lin family dares to do this again, just let me know. I’ll make sure they regret it!” Liu Yan declared fiercely.

“Uh…” Chuchu was a little dumbfounded. “Sister Yan, but that’s the Lin family…”

“Hah! So what if it’s the Lin family?” Liu Yan scoffed dismissively.

Qin Feng gave her an intrigued glance.

This woman sure knows how to talk big.

“Sister Yan, how strong is the Lin family, really?” Qin Feng suddenly asked.

This was what he truly cared about.

“The Lin family is considered fairly strong in Yunyang Base City. They have three counts, two viscounts, and over a dozen barons and lesser nobles,” Liu Yan replied nonchalantly.

Hearing this, Chuchu nervously glanced at Qin Feng.

The Lin family has so many elementalists!

Three counts meant three three-star experts, and viscounts represented four-star experts.

Qin Feng asked again, “Sister Yan, aside from Lin Jianhao, who is the other four-star expert in the Lin family?”

“It’s the old patriarch of the Lin family, Lin Jianhao’s father. Rumor has it that the old patriarch is at the peak of four-star mastery and is currently in seclusion, aiming to break through to five-star.”

After hearing this, a trace of fear flickered in Chuchu’s eyes.

A peak four-star expert!

If he broke through to five-star, the number of people in Yunyang City who could restrain him would be countable on one hand.

The so-called laws and regulations would become meaningless.

Laws and rules existed only to bind the weak.

Qin Feng also frowned slightly.

The Lin family was stronger than he had anticipated.

It seemed he needed to purchase more elemental beast cores as soon as possible.

Although the Lin family’s old patriarch was in seclusion and unlikely to emerge for now, a clash between them was inevitable in the future. Qin Feng had to enhance his strength quickly.

“Sister Yan, I plan to take my sister into the city for a bit.”

“Oh? What for?”

“To upgrade our statuses.”

Liu Yan’s eyes lit up. “Perfect! I just advanced to two-star and can upgrade to a viscount. Let’s go together!”

Chuchu chimed in excitedly, “That’s great! Let’s go together!”
