77: Chapter 77: The Petty Thief of Yunlong Mountain 77: Chapter 77: The Petty Thief of Yunlong Mountain Yunlong Mountain has always been a treacherous pass, widely known for being frequented by mountain bandits.

Three groups of bandits settled on the mountain, each occupying a different area of Yunlong Mountain.

The group that robbed Mu Can was the weakest among the three bandit factions.

“Yunyun sister is back.” The female bandit leader rode back to the mountain on a white horse, and a group of children dressed in tattered clothes with patches ran out from the village, surrounding the female leader and shouting excitedly.

“Later, we will bring out the Minning Beast, and everyone can have a feast.” The female bandit leader was in a good mood today and shouted loudly.

“Great, we’ll have meat to eat!” A little girl with pigtail braids yelled excitedly, her mouth watering.

Life in the village is tough these days, and having meat to eat is like a festival, an occasion that brings immense joy to the children.

It was right at this moment that Mu Can entered the village, which, against his expectations, did not resemble the impregnable fortress he had imagined, but more like a normal little mountain village.

If it weren’t for a few ragged bandits following behind, Mu Can would have suspected he had mistakenly wandered into a peaceful mountain hamlet.

In the distance, several robust men were busy repairing a damaged house.

“Big brother, are you here to help?” While Mu Can was surveying the village, he noticed a little girl with pigtail braids tugging gently at the corner of his clothing.

The girl looked to be only about five or six years old, wearing clean but patched clothes, with a slightly dirty face that featured a pair of bright, clear, and transparent eyes.

Behind the little girl were a group of little boys about the same age, all tilting their heads up and staring at Mu Can.

“Yes, big brother is here to help.” Mu Can bent down and pinched the little girl’s cheek, speaking softly.

“That’s amazing, big brother is here to help, so sister Yunyun won’t have to work so hard anymore.” The little girl happily twirled around Mu Can, shouting loudly in excitement.

The mood of children is the quickest to catch on; today they have meat to eat and a big brother has come to help.

A group of children started running around the village joyfully, playing cheerfully.

The bandits behind him watched the harmonious scene in silence.

“Where do you need help?” Mu Can turned around and seriously asked the bandits behind him.

Seeing the children running back and forth in high spirits, Mu Can suddenly felt an urge to do something for them.

“Huh?” The bandits were startled to see Mu Can not looking his usual slow-witted self.

“What huh?

I’m asking where you need help?” Mu Can asked impatiently.

“The houses were collapsed the last time the boss Li and his men came to steal things.

They need some renovation now.” A pitiful, thin old man pointed at the collapsed houses and spoke timidly.

“Okay.” Mu Can nodded and quickly headed towards the collapsed houses.

“Step back.” He waved his hand, signaling the strong men repairing the house to move aside.

“Move aside.” The old man waved his hand and only then did the people slowly move to one side with their tools.

Mu Can stood in front of the house and gently closed his eyes.

Carefully sensing the Nine-colored Dragon Ball within his body, Mu Can activated the power of the Nine-colored Dragon Ball.

A magical energy emanated from Mu Can’s body.

The crowd was left with their mouths hanging open in utter amazement.

The destroyed houses were being restored at a jaw-dropping speed.

The earth on the ground slowly coalesced into bricks, which then flew to their rightful places as if alive.

In merely the time it took to burn half an incense stick, a house even more spacious and beautiful than before appeared before everyone’s eyes.

“Ah?

Doggie, why are you pinching me?” Old Wang felt a sudden pinch on his scrawny arm and turned to find that it was the bandit holding a broken knife, pinching him hard.

“So it’s not a dream,” muttered the bandit with the broken knife.

“Damn it, why don’t you pinch yourself, serves you right for not being able to find a wife,” Old Wang snarled, rubbing his arm indignantly.

“It would hurt if I pinched myself, no?” Doggie, still holding the broken knife, chuckled as he watched the miraculous scene unfold.

Mu Can’s actions had already drawn the attention of the children running around the village, and they gathered behind him to watch.

At this moment, their eyes were also wide with anticipation as they watched Mu Can’s every move.

“Ah, is this house for us?” The little girl with curly braids had already run up to Mu Can and looked up at him as she asked.

Mu Can pinched the little girl’s cheek again with a smile.

“Of course, it’s for you.”

“Hurrah, we have a new house to live in now, big brother, you’re so kind!” The girl with the curly braids cheered, spinning around Mu Can, and the other children joined in the dance around him.

Mu Can stretched lazily, looking at the house in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.

The effects of the Nine-colored Dragon Ball were beyond his imagination; just the Earth Element Giant Dragon’s talent alone gave him the ability to control the earth.

Building such a house was as easy as pie for him.

“Are you all not getting enough to eat now?” Mu Can grabbed the little girl with braids, who was spinning around him, and asked with a smile.

“We get enough to eat; Yunyun sister makes us lots of food every day,” the little girl said timidly.

“Oh?

Then I won’t give you any treats,” Mu Can teased, scratching the girl’s nose with a smile.

“But, big brother, many uncles don’t have enough to eat; they give all their food to us,” the girl said shyly, touching her nose, which felt a little itchy from Mu Can’s earlier gesture.

“Oh?” Mu Can hadn’t expected this side of the bandits; no wonder their clothes were ragged and barely covered them, while the children, though patched, were well dressed and warm.

“Yunyun sister always gets bullied by bad people.” As she spoke, the girl with curly braids suddenly burst into tears.

“Tell your big brother, how do the bad people bully Yunyun sister?” Mu Can gently wiped the tears from the face of the little girl with the curly braids.

Turns out, ever since Long Yunyun arrived at Yunlong Mountain and saw how pitiful these bandits were, she joined them and became their leader.

Most of the children were orphans they had taken in.

The bandits who were barely making ends meet were not heartless criminals; otherwise, they wouldn’t have ended up in this state on Yunlong Mountain.

With the addition of Sister Yunyun, they had seen a few good days.

Unfortunately, the good times didn’t last long.

The strongest bandit leader on Yunlong Mountain had taken a fancy to Sister Yunyun and came looking for trouble almost every few days to force her to marry him.

That’s what happened the day before yesterday—Yunyun didn’t agree, and so they smashed several houses.

These past few days, some of the bandits had nowhere else to sleep but on the ground in other rooms.

“There’s such a thing?” Mu Can’s eyes narrowed slightly; it was time to test the results of his recent training.
