But the zu zong quickly suppressed this dangerous yet exciting idea. They couldn't afford to go too far now; Tang Hao was very likely protecting Tang San secretly at all times!
Until they had strength equal to their enemy, it was best to remain hidden in the shadows!
"System, keep stealing!"
[Ding, congratulations to the host for stealing a bottle of Hundred-Year Soul Wine from a general store in 'Douluo Continent'. The general store owner's hatred towards the host has increased to 25%. The general store owner wants the host to marry his daughter, who has gained weight to 350 jin (125 kg), and to marry into his family. Hatred points increased by 250.]
[Ding, congratulations to the host for stealing two sets of the latest boys' clothing from a clothing store in 'Douluo Continent'. The clothing store owner's hatred towards the host has increased to 50%. The clothing store owner is increasingly eager to marry the host (the clothing store owner is the general store owner's beloved daughter who has gained weight to 350 jin (125 kg), and incidentally, she has gradually become a boy-lover). Hatred points increased by 500.]
Hearing some familiar terms in his mind, Zu Zong was a little puzzled, but then he looked at his clothes. He suddenly remembered that the clothes he was wearing, and even the things he slept on, seemed to have been stolen—or rather, borrowed—from their store.
Almost spitting out a mouthful of blood, Zu Zong rolled his eyes and complained, "Why is it that same pair of fat and thin father and daughter again? I remember that woman was only 300 pounds three months ago, how did he gain 50 pounds in such a short time? Even if he wants to get married, shouldn't he lose weight? And what's with this 'boy-obsessed' thing? I may have grown taller, but I'm still a six-year-old boy!"
"System, continue stealing."
[Ding, congratulations to the host for stealing all of Flander's gold soul coins, a total of 582 coins. Flander's hatred towards the host has increased to 69.999%. Flander just wants to beat the host until he's barely alive. Congratulations to the host for gaining 10,000 hatred points.]
Hearing Flander's name, Zu Zong took out a large bag of gold soul coins from the system warehouse. His handsome face wrinkled slightly, but he couldn't be happy at all.
"Should I say that this is driving Flander to the brink of despair? Stealing all his money is practically killing him! And he's still trying to spare my life. This old man, though stingy, is also kind of endearing. I've already cut off a piece of his flesh, and he still won't kill me. The hatred has just piled up a bit too much. Oh well! I'll give it back to him next time."
Meanwhile, at Shrek Academy on the outskirts of Soto City in the Barak Kingdom,
Flander was sleeping soundly, clutching his soul tool. Ever since the lesson of having his gold soul coins stolen, he'd learned his lesson and viewed everyone as a thief. He'd kept all his gold soul coins in his soul tool before feeling at ease, and several months had passed peacefully.
Suddenly, a nightmare jolted Flander awake.
"Ah! Don't steal my gold soul coins!"
Flander opened his groggy eyes and looked around. The familiar ceiling.
Hmm! So dilapidated, this is his home.
He touched the soul tool in his pocket, "Thank goodness, it's still here."
But when he opened it, he was dumbfounded; it was completely empty.
"No..."
No one knew what Flander had experienced that night, but afterwards he locked himself in his room alone and didn't come out for a whole month. Of course, that's another story.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for stealing cheap ale from Tang Hao in 'Douluo Continent'. Tang Hao is completely bewildered. The host has not gained any hatred points.]
The zu zong grabbed at the void and took out a dirty wine bottle from the system space.
Sniffing,
"Ugh, what garbage is this? It stinks!"
Before he could finish speaking, he casually threw the bottle into the jungle.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for stealing the panties from Hu Liena's soul tool in 'Douluo Continent'. Hu Liena, being among cultivators, did not notice. The host has not gained any hatred points.]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for stealing the stockings from the Soul Guidance Device of Bibi Dong, Pope of the Spirit Hall in 'Douluo Continent'. Bibi Dong, being among cultivators, did not notice. The host has not gained any hatred points.]
[Ding, congratulations to the host for stealing the panties from the Soul Guidance Device of Bibi Dong, Pope of the Spirit Hall in 'Douluo Continent'. Bibi Dong, being among cultivators, did not notice. The host has not gained any hatred points.]
[Ding, congratulations to the host for stealing the Moon Fiend from Bibi Dong, Pope of the Spirit Hall in 'Douluo Continent'.]
"Stop, stop, stop!"
[Ding, theft failed, this theft counts.]
The zu zong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, thinking, "If I really kept stealing, I probably wouldn't see the sun tomorrow."
This is Douluo Continent; the zu zong doesn't have that many hatred points to play with. Even if he escaped, he would be wanted by the Martial Soul. Then, forget about finding a beauty... no, becoming stronger, he'd have to live in constant fear.
[Ding, host has one steal attempt remaining. Would you like to steal?]
"Didn't get anything good, but certainly gained a lot of hatred points. Steal it, steal it. At worst, I'll cancel if I see anything amiss." Having learned from Gu He and Bibi Dong's mistakes, he's gradually finding a pattern. That is, in the main world of Douluo Continent, he avoids anything that's courting death if possible. As for other worlds, as long as there are enough hatred points and he's not extremely unlucky, he can steal and run away.
[Ding, congratulations host for stealing the Nine Yang Divine Skill manual from the White Ape's belly in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber. The White Ape's goodwill towards the host has increased by 100%, and the host's hatred points have increased by 0.]
At this moment, the zu zong was already in tears—tears of joy.
"Three months, three months, do you know how I spent it? I used that trashy 'Soul Power Meditation Method' plagiarized by that scumbag master' for three whole months, a full three months. Using something from someone I hate the most, how painful it was for me. Finally, finally I can throw it away."
Yu Xiaogang (angrily): Give me back my goodwill! Didn't you say half an hour ago that 'my' 'Soul Power Meditation Method' had its merits?
Zu Zong(confidently): Cultivation techniques are like clothes, wives are like limbs? I don't want this tattered garment of yours, patched up with countless white stripes.
Zu Zong reached out and grabbed at the air, taking out the only two useful things he had stolen today from the system space: the 'Nine Yang Divine Skill' manual and the Transformation Pill.
"Clatter," a flash of white light, and a pink, bouncy panty appeared in zu zong hand, with a Q-version little fox tattooed on it. "Uh! Sorry, I took the wrong one!"
Sniffing.
"Hmm! So sexy, looks like Hu Liena's sexy fox's." He casually tossed it back into the system space.
"Hmm, this time it's definitely right."
A priceless jade container appeared in the clan leader's hand. He uncorked it, and a fragrant aroma filled the air. The scent instantly refreshed the clan leader, sweeping away all his previous fatigue.
"Truly worthy of being a seventh-grade Transformation Pill! Its value is immeasurable. No wonder that old man Guhe wanted me dead; if this were given to a magical beast, it would be a complete transformation! I just wonder if it would work on a soul beast! Should I give it to that old rabbit?"
The thought had barely crossed his mind when the zu zong instantly dismissed it. What kind of person was the zuzong? To casually give such a treasure to a hundred-thousand-year-old rabbit he'd only "known" for less than two days would be blatant sycophancy!
