Chapter 200: Chapter 198: Swindling Huang Yiyi’s Money! The Unscrupulous Rice Cake Shop Owner Dies in Convulsions and Madness!

Returning from Feng Lan and Ye Qingxue to the male dormitory where he lived, Lin Tianming looked visibly haggard.

Making these two who didn’t get along try to live in harmony was truly a thankless and strenuous chore.

Although they promised him a temporary truce, on the way back, they still bickered from time to time.

Fortunately, it was just minor conflicts, and with his slight mediation, they would quiet down.

Still, even so, Lin Tianming was quite drained.

He really hoped that one day they could truly get along peacefully, so he wouldn’t have to be so exhausted!

Back at the male dormitory, Lin Tianming thought Chu Yunfei would have arrived before him, but this time he was the first.

Though a bit surprised, Lin Tianming found his earlier arrival convenient, at least sparing him the awkwardness of having to turn down Chu Yunfei’s invitation to eat out.

Because he still had something to do today: he was to take Huang Yiyi out for a day at Hua Yufei’s house.

Before the winter holidays, Lin Tianming had promised Huang Yiyi to spend a day with her when he returned.

He had always remembered his promise to Huang Yiyi and planned to accompany her well this afternoon, lest the Deceit God get emotionally unstable and run off.

After placing the things he brought from home in the dormitory, Lin Tianming left the Great Emperor Academy and went to find Huang Yiyi.

Having notified Hua Yufei in advance that he would arrive soon, Lin Tianming also bought several ice creams at a shop near Hua Yufei’s house.

Buying so many ice creams in the dead of winter, the store clerk gave him a peculiar look.

Lin Tianming didn’t offer much of an explanation and, taking the purchased ice creams, headed for Hua Yufei’s house.

Just outside the yard, Huang Yiyi, having already received news of his arrival, immediately swung open the yard’s gate and ran out to wave at him.

"Tianming, you came to see me!"

After greeting him, Huang Yiyi threw herself into Lin Tianming’s embrace, thrilled.

Hua Yufei also came out in quick strides, and even in winter attire, she still held the enchanting allure of a winter Flower Fairy.

"Junior Brother Tianming, you’re finally here. Yiyi has been waiting in the yard ever since she heard you were coming and wouldn’t go indoors. Come, let’s go in where it’s warm!"

Invited by Hua Yufei, Lin Tianming went inside with Huang Yiyi.

Upon entering the house, Hua Yufei warmly served Lin Tianming a cup of hot tea.

"Here, Junior Brother Tianming, it’s been a month. Try the flower tea I brewed for you!"

Lin Tianming remembered Hua Yufei’s flower tea vividly from the last time he tried it; even though he wasn’t a tea connoisseur, he never forgot its taste.

Having the privilege to taste Hua Yufei’s brewed flower tea again, Lin Tianming was naturally very happy.

"It’s as good as before, I can never tire of Senior Hua’s tea!"

His compliment was well received by Hua Yufei, and she responded with a smile, "Junior Brother Tianming, I tried the Molten Dragon Turtle Meat you had Teacher Jiang Han bring me last time, it was really good, and it benefited my cultivation too, thank you!"

"We have such a good relationship, and Senior Hua bears so much pressure, taking care of Yiyi for me. Treating Senior Hua to Molten Dragon Turtle Meat is only right!"

Lin Tianming spoke sincerely, feeling that Hua Yufei had nothing to thank him for.

She had taken on the greatest burden by adopting Huang Yiyi.

If she could become stronger and better protect herself and Huang Yiyi, that was also something Lin Tianming would like to see.

Remembering the purpose of his visit, Lin Tianming then said to Hua Yufei, "Senior Hua, I plan to take Yiyi out this afternoon to have some fun, and I’ll bring her back in the evening."

Hearing Lin Tianming say he would take her out made Huang Yiyi beam with joy.

"Tianming, I want to go out and play with you!"

Although Huang Yiyi wanted to go, they also had to seek Hua Yufei’s opinion.

After a moment of contemplation, Hua Yufei agreed, "That’s fine. Now that the people from the Yellow Clothes Church have disappeared, you can take Yiyi outside to play. But if something really happens, remember to contact me immediately!"

"Don’t worry, Senior Hua, if anything happens, I’ll definitely contact you, and Teacher Jiang Han too!"

With Lin Tianming’s assurance, Hua Yufei felt much more at ease, "Then you two go, remember to come back early. I’ll cook dinner and wait for your return!"

"Alright, we’re off to have fun!"

Having made arrangements with Hua Yufei, Lin Tianming handed an ice cream to Huang Yiyi and then gave her a look signaling her to follow him.

As a Deceit God, Huang Yiyi was not bothered by the cold despite it being winter.

She took a lick of the ice cream Lin Tianming bought and happily trailed after him out to play.

Lin Tianming didn’t plan to take Huang Yiyi as far as Tianhui Square.

To ensure that in case of an emergency he could await rescue from Hua Yufei and Jiang Han, he took Huang Yiyi to a small street food area near the west gate of the Great Emperor Academy.

Although Huang Yiyi didn’t need to eat, she would eat anything bought by Lin Tianming, on whom she was somewhat dependent.

Unknowingly, Lin Tianming ended up treating Huang Yiyi to a bunch of street food, and they both had a great time eating and playing along the street.

Unlike Ye Qingxue who had a small appetite yet impulsively bought too much food and left a lot untouched, Huang Yiyi’s Deceit God constitution meant she never felt full.

Since she was such a good eater, Lin Tianming did not have to worry about waste when buying in excess.

In order to let Huang Yiyi enjoy this outing fully, so she would continue to stay contently with Hua Yufei, Lin Tianming was naturally willing to spend money and have her eat more.

"Yiyi, wait here for the bullfrog we ordered. I’m going across the street to line up for lamb skewers at that popular shop. Once you’ve got the bullfrog, come join me; I’ll probably still be queuing up."

After reminding Huang Yiyi, Lin Tianming, who wanted to save time, went to the barbecue shop across the street to line up for lamb skewers.

Left alone by Lin Tianming, Huang Yiyi instantly felt completely disordered.

Actually, she was very afraid of interacting with strangers, but thinking of the task Lin Tianming left her, Huang Yiyi still gritted her teeth and persisted.

After waiting for a few minutes in front of the bullfrog stall, Huang Yiyi got the bullfrogs she and Lin Tianming ordered.

"Miss, your and your boyfriend’s bullfrogs are ready!"

"Oh... Oh! Thank you!"

After saying thanks, Huang Yiyi didn’t think too much about the inappropriate boyfriend reference; she just picked up two portions of bullfrog, ready to cross the street to find Lin Tianming.

This turn, due to too many people nearby, made her, who was already emotionally tense from being alone, feel somewhat dizzy for a moment.

"Tianming seemed to have said he was going across to buy lamb skewers... which store was it specifically? All these barbecue shops across here are full of people in line..."

Despite feeling dizzy, Huang Yiyi still crossed through the crowded throng of people and ran to the opposite street.

Once she got to the opposite street, a vendor selling cube cakes called out to her: "Beauty, would you like to buy some cube cake? Fresh cube cakes, really delicious!"

Huang Yiyi glanced at the cube cake vendor and shook her head: "No, thank you."

Who would have thought that after she refused, the cube cake vendor continued: "Beauty, I see you’re holding two portions of bullfrog, you must be looking for your boyfriend, right? Bringing him some cube cake from my stand, I think he will definitely be happier!"

Bringing Tianming some cube cake to eat?

Huang Yiyi was stunned.

Images of Lin Tianming buying her ice cream before, as well as treating her to street food today, flashed in her mind, and she also wanted to do something for Lin Tianming.

Then... just buy some cube cake to bring to Tianming!

Seeing her also buying him something, he would definitely be very happy, right?

Thinking like this, Huang Yiyi looked at the cube cake vendor: "Then I’ll have some cube cake!"

"Alright! This beautiful lady is so good to your boyfriend. How would you like it cut?"

Facing the cube cake vendor’s professional pitch, Huang Yiyi didn’t quite understand.

She took out ten yuan in change and directly said: "Just cut me ten yuan’s worth."

The cube cake vendor somewhat surprisingly glanced at Huang Yiyi, who was paying with change rather than scanning a QR code with her phone, and said: "Alright, I’ll start cutting, pretty lady. Let’s make it clear first, my cube cake is so precious, once it’s cut, you must buy it, otherwise, if it’s left here and not fresh, it’s a waste!"

Huang Yiyi nodded her head: "Mmm, cut it quickly, I need to find someone."

The cube cake vendor picked up his knife, aimed at the cube cake that hadn’t tricked anyone the entire day, and prepared to fleece the seemingly easy-to-bully Huang Yiyi with a heavy cut.

"Oops! Accidentally cut too much, I’m so sorry. Anyway, it’s not expensive, why not just take all of it? Beautiful lady, just give me three hundred yuan!"

Huang Yiyi, who was originally not good at communicating with strangers, heard the price of three hundred and immediately panicked.

"Three... Three hundred? How can this little bit of cube cake be so expensive?"

"The variety is different, my cube cakes are very precious! Beauty, you just said it yourself, once cut, you must buy, you can’t go back on your word, three hundred is three hundred!"

During the conversation, the cube cake vendor waved his knife, putting on a fierce look.

Huang Yiyi was scared and said timidly: "But... But I only have ten yuan..."

The cube cake vendor, having no business all day and catching the easy-to-bully Huang Yiyi, naturally wasn’t willing to let go.

"How can you only have ten yuan? Take out your phone, scan the QR code on my stall, and pay with your bank card linked to it!"

"I... I don’t have a phone..."

"I don’t care whether you do or not, you have to pay this three hundred yuan today!"

In order to make Huang Yiyi pay, the cube cake vendor also fiercely smashed the knife onto the stall, scaring Huang Yiyi, and her delicate body trembled.

Already not good at extensive interaction with strangers, now being hassled by the unscrupulous cube cake vendor, Huang Yiyi, who hadn’t cried for a long time, suddenly felt her emotions collapsing and tears welled up.

"Crying still means you have to pay! Otherwise, don’t think about leaving!"

Under the continuous provocation of the unscrupulous cube cake vendor, not knowing what to do, Huang Yiyi completely broke down emotionally and cried out loud.

With her cry, negative emotions turned into a strange black fog spreading out.

The first to be affected was the cube cake vendor who wanted to rip someone off with a ferocious look.

The eerie and terrifying black fog spread too quickly; just as he realized something was wrong, the black fog enveloped him and eroded into his body.

Insane thoughts crazily corroded his psyche, and the cube cake vendor let out a scream that made everyone nearby flee in panic.

Not long ago fierce and belligerent, the cube cake vendor’s face was now panicked and distorted, his body also shaking and spasming in an extremely twisted way and rapidly swelling into a deformed tumor.

Boom!

Due to excessive swelling, the cube cake vendor, who had turned into a tumor monster under the erosion of the black fog, exploded on the spot.

Just as the black fog centered around Huang Yiyi was about to continue spreading, endangering more innocent people, Lin Tianming timely put his hand on her shoulder.

"Yiyi, calm down, you can’t lose control of your emotions here!"

Hearing Lin Tianming’s reassuring voice, Huang Yiyi, who broke down emotionally and didn’t know what to do, immediately felt safe, and the scattering black fog also dispersed with it.
