I Was Contracted By The Empress As An S Rank Familiar Novel - Chapter 29

Chapter 29: Goblin Thief

Shirley looked in the direction of Pan Liang’s hand and saw the law enforcement team.

It turned out that the law enforcement team was patrolling nearby. If Shirley had known their presence, she would have shouted.

“Hey, why didn’t you tell me that the law enforcement team was around?”

Pan Liang smiled and said, “Why should I tell you? You’re just too timid. Those people have pretty much the same rank as you. Your rank is SSS. What are you afraid of?”

Shirley turned around angrily and left, not wanting to bother with him anymore.

Pan Liang was not angry. He directly climbed onto the carriage and lay down comfortably.

His journey to the city with Shirley was the fastest way for him to earn Grievance Points.. Upon arrival in the city, his Grievance Points kept refreshing when he did not need to do anything.

These people were jealous that Pan Liang had a beauty accompanying him. Those who recognized Shirley and Pan Liang were jealous of their great talent.

After Shirley finished her work, she rushed out of the city with Pan Liang because she could not stand the looks of these people. Another reason was that they were in a hurry.

There were only three days before the activation of the secret realm. Although it did not seem far away, they might not be able to get there very soon since they would be driving the carriage in the forest.

Pan Liang had to stay alert so that Shirley would not get lost.

Only after they left the city did Pan Liang perceive that Shirley was not as nervous as before.

There were many people in the city. She had always been afraid that someone would come and snatch her magic staff.

“Why didn’t you tell me that your magic staff is so valuable? I’m sure we’re targeted by a lot of people now.”

Pan Liang broke into a smile. “So what if we’re targeted? Are you afraid of those people? How are you going to compete with the other palace masters for the throne?”

He chuckled at this moment. ‘If I didn’t give you any pressure, would you be willing to work hard to improve yourself?’ Pan Liang thought.

However, those who wanted to snatch the magic staff were not what Shirley was most worried about. She was worried that she would not be able to return the money to Pan Liang.

She was also a little afraid of what he would do to her if she did not return the money.

Pan Liang controlled the little poodle to jump onto the horse’s back and look ahead. He wanted to see if there were any monsters so that he could attract them to train Shirley.

It turned out that he did sense a monster after looking around carefully. The monster piqued his interest.

The monster was carrying a cloth bag. From its sneaky look, it did not seem to be something nice.

Pan Liang learned from the system that this type of monster was called a goblin thief. It had the ability to hide.

The goblin thief’s cloth bag was filled with stolen treasures. Also, its cloth bag could control treasures despite having limited space.

The cloth bag was used to make storage bags, and it could be sold at a high price.

Pan Liang immediately commanded the little poodle to run out. Seeing the poodle jump out, Shirley instantly stopped the carriage and chased after the poodle.

This goblin thief appeared here because it sensed the aura of a treasure.

Evidently, it sensed the magic staff that was with Shirley. As for the Immortal Sword on Pan Liang’s body, the goblin thief was not powerful enough to sense it.

After running for a while, the poodle suddenly stopped. Shirley ran up to the poodle and picked it up. Then, she saw the goblin thief hiding behind the bushes.

The goblin thief was holding onto Shirley’s bag as if it was trying to find something from inside.

This was a good opportunity. Shirley put down the poodle secretly and took out her magic staff. Then, she slowly condensed an icicle to ambush the goblin thief.

She did not use the fireball because it was too powerful. She might not be able to grab the goblin thief’s bag by then.

The speed of the icicle was already faster than the fireball. With the aid of the standard magic staff, the icicle would be even faster.

However, when Shirley’s icicle was halfway formed, the goblin thief suddenly felt the magic wave behind it.

It fled to the side straight away without turning its head around. From its skilled movement, it must have been ambushed many times.

Sure enough, the goblin thief was the most cunning low-level monster.

As soon as Shirley noticed that the goblin thief began to flee, she stopped hiding and began to chase after it.

However, her speed was not as fast as the little poodle’s.

At this moment, the little poodle was already under Pan Liang’s control. Rather than just relying on its four legs to run away, it used the Sword Control Technique.

This time, the poodle controlled its own body even though it was usually not possible with the Sword Control Technique. However, it was Pan Liang controlling the little poodle’s body from afar.

The poodle took the initiative to let Pan Liang control it, so there was no problem.

“Little Liang, quickly chase after it and bite it. Hurry up.”

After hearing Shirley’s words, Pan Liang did not feel like making the little poodle continue chasing.

Before he transmigrated, everyone he knew called him Little Liang. After he arrived here, Shirley named a poodle Little Liang, so he could not accept it.

In order to let the goblin thief fight with Shirley, Pan Liang did not care too much.

He instantly controlled the little poodle to rush to the goblin thief and block it as soon as possible.

He then deliberately let the little poodle release a powerful magic wave that was targeted on the goblin thief.

After weighing the pros and cons, the goblin thief turned its head to deal with Shirley.

It was obvious that the goblin thief had lived for a long time. Otherwise, it would not have been so skilled in escaping.

Moreover, its level was five levels higher than Shirley’s. This was a perfect practice target for Shirley, who had the aid of the standard magic staff.

Shirley laughed when she saw that the goblin thief stopped escaping. She condensed magic while running. An icicle began to appear and instantly stabbed at the goblin thief at supersonic speed.

When the goblin thief saw the speed of the icicle, its eyes narrowed. Before it could do anything, the icicle had already brushed past it.

Deep down, Shirley cursed, ‘Damn it. This speed is so fast that I can’t even control its direction. It looks like I have to aim properly.’

The goblin thief did not care whether the little poodle was blocking the way. It immediately started running in a direction.

Coincidentally, it was running toward the carriage.

Pan Liang sat by the side of the carriage and focused on controlling the little poodle. He was unaware that the goblin thief was running in the direction of his original body.

Only when the goblin thief was in sight that his original body detected it.

After ordering the little poodle to come back, Pan Liang stood up with a smile.

“Hey. I didn’t expect you to take the initiative to come to me. It’s good that you realize.”
