They made a lot of noise and quickly attracted the patrolling team’s attention.
The patrol team belonged to the City of 10,000 Beasts in name, but in reality, they were inextricably linked to the local forces. After they ran over, they wanted to arrest Huanhuan and the other two without any explanation.
The patrol team was all composed of soul beasts. Their star souls were about one to two stars, and there were about 15 to 16 of them.
To make matters worse, other patrols were arriving at the news. Their numbers were increasing.
Ah Jiang was terrified. He wanted to bury his head in the ground and pretend that he wasn’t there.
There were many of them, and they were all soul beasts. Huanhuan didn’t dare to fight them head-on anymore and quickly called Little Green back. She grabbed Xing Chen and shouted at Ah Jiang, “Why are you still squatting there? Run!”
As if woken from a dream, Ah Jiang scrambled after her.
Little Green had slapped Arched Eyes until he was injured. He was so angry that he almost exploded. “Catch them! Don’t let any of them go! I’ll kill that female myself!”
The patrolling team immediately chased after Huanhuan and the others.
The streets were filled with pedestrians. Every two steps, they would bump into someone. What made them even more speechless was that when some male beasts saw that the person they bumped into was a female, they would deliberately not move aside and want to take the opportunity to chat with her.
Huanhuan couldn’t be bothered to talk nonsense with them. She called out the lotus.
Its black petals opened, revealing sharp fangs. Whoever dared to block their way again would be bitten to death!
The beasts had never seen such a ferocious flower. They retreated to the side in fear, not daring to block the way again.
Huanhuan pulled Xing Chen out of the street unimpeded, and Ah Jiang followed closely behind.
She looked behind her. ‘Damn! The patrolling team’s numbers have doubled!’
Ah Jiang trembled and said, “There are more of them in the sky!”
Huanhuan looked up at the sky and realized that a patrol team of feather beasts was flying toward them.
The three of them were being outflanked.
Ah Jiang was so anxious that he was about to cry. “I told you not to come to the Golden Leaf Chamber of Commerce! Now, the three of us are going to be captured and beaten to death!”
On the way here, Huanhuan observed the surrounding terrain. She quickly said, “If the three of us run together, we’ll be too big a target and we’ll be easily discovered. Why don’t we split up? I remember there’s a crossroads ahead. When the time comes, we’ll run separately. After we shake off the pursuers behind us, we’ll meet again in the city.”
Ah Jiang immediately agreed. “That’s a good idea!”
But Xing Chen glanced at her meaningfully. “Will you come looking for me again after we separate?”
“Of course. We entered the city together. We definitely have to leave together!” Huanhuan promised solemnly.
Xing Chen said nothing else and silently acknowledged her decision.
The intersection soon came into view. The three of them had just reached the intersection when they suddenly separated.
Ah Jiang went left, Xing Chen went right, and Huanhuan went straight forward.
The three of them ran very quickly and disappeared into the vast crowd.
The patrol team followed closely behind and arrived at the intersection. They hesitated for a moment, then split into three groups and chased after them.
Huanhuan put away the lotus. As she ran, she took out her hide cloak and wrapped it around herself. Relying on her small size, she crawled through the beasts, trying to distance herself from her pursuers.
She shouted as she ran, “System Daddy, help!”
After a while, she heard the system’s voice. “Where’s the demon king?”
Huanhuan’s voice was filled with excitement. “I lost him!”
The system called out happily, “Well done!”
Huanhuan panted heavily and said, “The problem is that I’m still followed by a group of pursuers. How can I shake them off?”
“Wait a moment. Let me search the area.”
“Hurry up. I-I can’t run anymore!”
Huanhuan ran for a while before she suddenly realized that a patrol team had appeared in front of her and was running in her direction.
A pincer attack!
She had nowhere else to go. “Hurry!” she urged. “They’ve found me!”
“Found it!” the system said quickly. “Go into the alley on the right!”
Without hesitation, Huanhuan turned and rushed into the alley on the right. It was narrow and deep. She ran for a long time. The pedestrians around her decreased until there was almost no one left.
She saw the wall in front of her and called out, “It’s a dead end!”
“Over the wall!”
Huanhuan couldn’t climb walls, but Little Green was good at it. She let Little Green climb the wall first, then it wrapped itself around her waist and pulled her up.
She used the same method to get Little Green to lower her to the ground.
Huanhuan retracted Little Green and looked up. She realized that this seemed to be a place where the rich lived. The environment was much quieter and tidier than the street she had just seen. She asked, “Then what?”
“Go straight for a hundred meters, then turn left and go through the first door. Be quick. Don’t let anyone see you.”
Huanhuan hurried forward, ran to the intersection, turned right, and pushed open the first door.
Behind the door was a small room. There was no one in it.
The place seemed to be receiving guests. There were some fresh fruits and nectar on the low table. There were many colorful blankets hanging on the wall, and there were thick blankets on the ground. They were soft to step on.
Huanhuan casually picked up a sweet fruit and stuffed it into her mouth. She took two bites and realized that it didn’t taste as good as the sweet fruits she grew at home.
As she ate, she asked, “Where are we?”
“The Golden Leaf Chamber of Commerce’s headquarters in the City of 10,000 Beasts.”
Huanhuan realized that there was a golden leaf hanging on the wall. She couldn’t help but reach out and touch it. “Is this made of gold?”
“Carved from stone and coated with gold powder.”
Knowing that it was not made of gold, Huanhuan’s interest immediately decreased. She retracted her hand and walked around the house. She threw the fruit core out of the window. She asked, “Am I going to hide here now and wait until the patrol teams leave before going out?”
“I think it’s possible you’ll be discovered before the patrol teams leave.”
“Huh?”
Huanhuan only had time to let out a low cry that represented confusion when she saw the door open from the outside and a beautiful female walk in.
Both sides were stunned when they saw each other.
Huanhuan’s eyes widened. “Xue Hui?!”
The female who walked in was Xue Hui.
Xue Hui obviously did not expect to meet Huanhuan here. Her face was filled with surprise.
There were two beasts outside the door. They seemed to be the workers in charge of leading the way for Xue Hui. When they heard the sound in the house, they were shocked. There was actually someone in the house?!
They were about to go in to see who had trespassed into the VIP room when Xue Hui stopped them.
Xue Hui said, “It’s my friend. You can all go out.”
The two guys were still hesitant.
Xue Hui glanced at them. “Do you need me to repeat what I just said?”
“Don’t be angry. We’ll leave now!”
The two attendants hung their heads and walked away respectfully.
They didn’t know who was in the VIP room, but just to be safe, they reported this to the manager.
