The small mound on the ground disappeared, leaving only a deep pit behind.
The Blue Silver Grass above was nowhere to be found.
Tang Hao and his son were stunned on the spot, exchanging bewildered glances.
They looked at each other, at a loss.
Tang San stammered, "This…"
"What happened here?"
After a brief moment of shock, Tang Hao's puzzled expression quickly faded.
It was replaced by an incredibly fierce look as he cursed angrily,
"What else could it be?"
"Your mother's been stolen!!!"
"My mother's been stolen?" Tang San repeated, and then, shaking with disbelief, "This...this is impossible!!"
"How could anyone find this place when it's so hidden?"
Grinding his teeth, Tang Hao's temples throbbed with pulsing veins as he breathed heavily.
"Other than your mother being stolen, how else would you explain this big pit?"
"Do you think she grew legs and ran off on her own?"
Tang San was initially stunned, then his eyes turned fierce.
"My mother couldn't have just grown legs and run off."
"Who is it, who did this, to steal even the grass?"
"That wasn't grass, that was your mother!" Tang Hao emphasized.
Tang San explained, "We both know who this Blue Silver Grass is."
"But others surely don't know, so what would they want with stealing a plant?"
Tang Hao's fists were clenched tightly, his body shivering, clearly enraged to the extreme.
"How should I know?"
"Damn it, to dare steal from under my nose, Tang Hao, just let me catch you, I'll definitely take your dog life!"
"Huh." Tang San suddenly let out a surprised sound.
"What's wrong?" asked Tang Hao.
"Dad, look here." Tang San crouched down on the ground, his fingers tracing two marks.
"What's this…" Tang Hao also squatted down, "These must be tracks accidentally left by the thief, clearly wheel marks."
"Wheel marks?" Tang San said, "No way, could the person who stole my mom have come in a wheelchair?"
"Stop guessing, that's impossible," Tang Hao shook his head repeatedly, "Have you ever seen a thief stealing in a wheelchair? That's commitment, stealing even though they're crippled."
Tang San discerned carefully, "I feel like these indeed look like wheelchair tracks."
Tang Hao waved his hand dismissively.
"It can't be a wheelchair, who steals sitting in a wheelchair? That's just a joke."
"If you went around saying your speculation, people would doubt your intelligence."
Luo Yu sat in the corner with a smile at the corner of his mouth, clearly visible and less than three meters away from Tang Hao and his son.
An amused expression was on his face.
He watched quietly as Tang Hao reasoned logically, almost wanting to applaud him.
Congratulations, after meticulous logical analysis, you've successfully eliminated the only correct answer.
"You're right," Tang San agreed with Tang Hao's words, "So what do we do now?"
"Chase!"
"The person who took your mom can't be far."
Tang Hao's eyes reddened, bloodshot, and after speaking, he rushed out frantically.
Tang San followed the two tracks on the ground.
However, the tracks abruptly ended at the corner of the wall.
After pondering for a long time, he found no clue.
Seeing that Tang Hao had left, he hurriedly chased after him.
As father and son left one after another, the cave once again fell into calm.
Dozens of breaths later, Luo Yu withdrew the Boundless Universe Shield, and his figure slowly emerged from the corner of the wall.
Inwardly, he marveled at how useful the Boundless Universe Shield was.
Just now, Tang San was even less than half a meter from him and still hadn't discovered his presence.
"These two are quite amusing, vowing to get revenge against me."
"I was so close to them, yet I was unable to detect his whereabouts," Luo Yu yawned.
He had thought stealing Ah Yin would be difficult, but it turned out to be so simple.
Since Ah Yin was already in hand, there was no need to linger in this damp cave.
Luo Yu pushed his wheelchair casually with both hands, slowly gliding towards the cave's waterfall entrance.
When he reached the waterfall, he folded up the wheelchair.
His legs, heavy as a thousand pounds, were planted firmly on the ground.
Behind him, a flash of cyan and golden light, and the vibrant Wind God Dragon Wings appeared.
With a flick of the wings and a gust of wind,
the waterfall split in two, and Luo Yu flew off at low altitude, speeding away.
He couldn't be bothered with Tang Hao and his son and planned to go back and study Ah Yin at leisure.
Luo Yu shot through the sky, completely unaware that a spiritual force was constantly probing him.
In the secret chamber a kilometer below the cavern,
the mature beauty in the blue and golden dress, with her regal and elegant demeanor and deep blue eyes, withdrew the spiritual force that was probing the ground and voiced her confusion.
"What's going on?"
"I've never seen this youth before, why would he steal her! What's his purpose??"
"But those two, Tang Hao and his son, really are fools. How could two grown men fail to guard a single plant of Blue Silver Grass?"
"As expected, they are consistently careless."
The lady in the blue dress let out a light hum, her red lips slightly parted, "Silly sister, you had your eyes on this Tang Hao once. Were you blind, or should I bring you back myself?"
The blue-dressed beauty, full of suspicion, flashed with blue and golden light,
and was able to move through the underground effortlessly.
She tightly locked onto the direction Luo Yu had flown off to and closely followed underground.
As for Tang Hao and his son, they were subconsciously ignored by the lady in blue.
...
Tang Hao and his son turned the world upside down searching for the thief's whereabouts.
They nearly dug three feet into the mountain but ended up with nothing.
Meanwhile, Luo Yu had already traveled a thousand li away, arriving at a vast plain.
Originally, he wanted to fly straight back to Tiandou City.
After all, having secluded himself in Chenyin Valley for so long, his women must have not seen him for quite a while and were probably missing him. It was necessary to return and soothe them.
However, Luo Yu keenly sensed something was off, as if something was following him.
He turned around and scanned in all directions, but all was empty and quiet.
"An illusion?"
Luo Yu did not rashly make a judgment.
His eyes flashed with amethyst gold brilliance, and the Creation God Pupil was pushed to its limit.
Two beams of divine light shone forth, scanning in all directions.
No anomalies were detected.
Only when he looked down at the ground and penetrated his gaze into the earth,
did his pupils constrict.
Hovering in mid-air, with a stern expression, he called out coldly to the space below,
"Your Excellency has been following me stealthily for so long. If you do not show yourself now, how much longer do you intend to follow?"
"You can detect me?"
A surprised female voice rang out as blue and golden light flickered on the ground.
The mature beauty in the blue and golden short dress slowly emerged from the ground.
Her exceptionally beautiful face was filled with astonishment.
She truly didn't expect that while she was lurking a kilometer underground, this youth would still be able to detect her.
Even Tang Hao, a Titled Douluo, had not accomplished such a feat.
Luo Yu stared intently at the blue-dressed beauty who had suddenly appeared, and asked coldly,
"Who are you?"
"What's your scheme in stealthily following me!"
"The one who should be asking that question is me," the lady in the blue dress said clearly, "Tell me, why did you steal that Blue Silver Grass!"
