The End Times as a Song

Chapter 517 How dare you steal from me!

Then, he picked up the candied hawthorn stall that had been placed to the side. Just then, he suddenly whispered, "Fire...!" As soon as he finished speaking, a small and cute fire sprite appeared in response, leaping merrily in the air. Lin Yin then forcefully tossed the heavy candied hawthorn stall in his hands. The fire sprite nimbly caught it and, in the blink of an eye, transformed into human form, steadily taking over the load. At this moment, Huan Rugo turned around and walked away with light steps, disappearing into the bustling crowd.

Lin Yin was focused on catching up with the graceful figure not far ahead—Huan Ruge—and hurried along. Just then, he passed a small stall filled with all sorts of exquisite ornaments.

The vendor, with his sharp eyes, spotted Lin Yin in his haste and quickly called out, "Young master, come and take a look! Look, I have some excellent love bracelets here. These are perfect gifts for lovers, the best presents for your sweetheart, guaranteed to capture her heart!"

Hearing the vendor's call, Lin Yin instinctively stopped and turned to look at the pair of love bracelets the vendor was holding. The moment his eyes fell on the bracelets, the image of the red string bell on Huan Ruge's wrist involuntarily flashed into his mind, and his heart skipped a beat. Without hesitation, he blurted out to the vendor, "Sir, I'll take these..."

However, before Lin Yin could finish speaking, he was abruptly interrupted by a clear, crisp female voice. A woman dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a pretty face but an arrogant expression, had appeared behind the shopkeeper. This woman was none other than Wu Zheyu.

Wu Zheyu shouted loudly, "Boss, I've really taken a liking to this! Hurry up and wrap it up properly for me...!"

The vendor looked embarrassed, and while smiling and bowing to Wu Zheyu, he carefully explained, "Oh dear, young lady, I'm so sorry. This young master did take a liking to this first and asked for it, and I only have this one portion here. I really can't satisfy both of you. Please be kind and don't make things difficult for me."

To everyone's surprise, Wu Zheyu completely ignored the vendor's earnest explanations. With her hands on her hips and her eyebrows raised in anger, she retorted unreasonably, "Hmph! This thing is mine for the taking today! I don't care who saw it first, it's mine in the end! Anyone who dares to compete with me, just try and see...!"

Faced with the arrogant and unreasonable threats from Wu Zheyu, the vendor was clearly frightened. He turned to Lin Yin to discuss a way to back down: "This...! Young master, what should we do? Perhaps, you are magnanimous and should give it to this young lady...!"

Seeing Wu Zheyu's arrogant and domineering demeanor, Lin Yin shook his head helplessly, a bitter smile appearing on his face. However, his eyes remained unwavering, showing no sign of backing down. He gracefully turned around, facing Wu Zheyu's provocative and disdainful gaze, and coldly said, "Sorry, this is mine. Please be lenient and don't force me."

However, Wu Zheyu clearly didn't take Lin Yin seriously. Seeing that he showed no fear of her threats, she couldn't help but feel a surge of curiosity and interest. Her eyes widened, her eyebrows furrowed, and she shouted sharply, "You audacious scoundrel! How dare you be so rude! Who are you? How dare you try to take something from me! Don't you know who I am?"
