I, the Saint of Thieves

[Early work, not very well written] Five years ago, a thief appeared in the martial world. Dressed all in white, he was peerlessly graceful. His movement skills were superb. First, he took a painting treasured by a prince. Then he stole a medical text passed down for generations in Medicine Valley, followed by the sword carried by the Sword Saint. The Sword Saint drew his blade and pursued him for a thousand miles, yet the thief still escaped unscathed. The world was in an uproar. After some discussion, the martial world bestowed on him the title of Thief Saint. Unfortunately, being a thief wasn't easy. There was a code to follow: even thieves had their principles. Shen Yue gazed at the priceless treasures before him, felt the pangs of his twenty-first-century conscience, and returned them one by one. Money was just an external possession. The whole point of roaming the martial world was to be carefree. Having fun was what mattered most. Shen Yue consoled himself with this thought, then turned around and went to find a powerful patron. The cult leader was handsome, highly skilled in martial arts, and wonderful in every way. Most importantly, he provided food and lodging! Until Shen Yue realized that the cult leader he had been freeloading off seemed to be the little kid he'd rescued many years ago. Shen Yue: “...” Wait, but how could someone go from being that tiny to being so huge? (gestures in shock) That day, the cult leader made him an offer: “I'll provide food and lodging. Are you in?” Shen Yue checked his money pouch and refused with righteous conviction. No way. Living off someone else had no future. The next day, after losing all his money and becoming penniless, the Thief Saint knocked on the cult leader's door. “Cult leader, please take me in!” The cult leader lowered his eyes and agreed with an impassive expression. That night, though, he blushed to the tips of his ears, hugged his quilt, and quietly moved into the room next to Shen Yue's. A distant, cool cult leader gong who loves sticking close to his wife x a carefree, cheerful Thief Saint shou 1. Transmigrated into another world. 2. The golden finger isn't too powerful. The Thief Saint has the best movement skills, but his martial arts aren't the strongest. 3. Xi Ning My first story as a beginner writer (my first in every sense of the word!). Don't expect too much. It has a lot, a lot of flaws T^T. I've moved the paywall chapter a little further back, so please buy the chapters one at a time. The pacing in the Jiangcheng section is poor, so feel free to read it faster. The main characters interact more in the second half. Theme: If you have money, make the most of life. If you don't, make the most of your mood.
