Chapter 226: Acting!
Outside the City.
In the distance, Deputy City Lord Wang Tianba, surrounded by a group of Guards, was leisurely drinking tea.
Today was a rest day, and he was enjoying the spring scenery outside the City under the protection of the Guards.
Further away were the players, blocked by a large number of Guards.
These players saw the Deputy City Lord NPC Wang Tianba going out and thought it was a quest plot. They wanted to get closer to curry favor and get a quest.
However, the result was destined to disappoint them.
Even if there was a quest, it wasn't something ordinary players could trigger.
But... it was clear that Wang Tianba was annoyed by these players, disturbing his elegance.
Chen Sisi and Li Xiang hid behind a large tree, watching all of this.
Chen Sisi assessed the combat power of the Guards and looked at Li Xiang playfully, "You want to forcefully take their Deputy City Lord away right under the noses of this group of Guards?"
Li Xiang looked at Chen Sisi, "If I can take him away without shedding a drop of blood, will you be responsible for the interrogation? How about it?"
Chen Sisi nodded, "Of course, but it's impossible for You to do it."
"These Guards are not simple Guards."
"You can't beat them?"
Chen Sisi puffed out her chest, "Looking down on me?! How could I, a dignified Demon Clan Priest, not be able to beat a few Guards from a mere City!"
"Then that's settled."
After speaking, Li Xiang added, "Since You can beat them, I can use it with confidence! Meet at the entrance of the Barren Plains!"
As his voice fell, Li Xiang immediately released the Falling Boulder skill on the spot, creating a huge commotion. Then he charged out, rolling several times on the ground in an exaggerated posture until he reached the side of the Guard group.
Chen Sisi was stunned.
What in the world was this Human ant doing?!
The next second, she understood.
The Guards, after seeing Li Xiang clearly, quickly helped Li Xiang up.
"Royal Guard!"
Another part of the Guards looked towards where Li Xiang had been hiding earlier.
Originally, there was a large tree there, but because of one of Li Xiang's skills, the tree snapped, leaving the area completely exposed.
The figure of the Demon Clan Priest - Chen Sisi was revealed.
"It's a Demon Clan!!!"
"It's the Demon Chen Sisi!!! Protect the City Lord!!"
"Catch the Demon!!!"
"..."
Instantly, a large number of Guards rushed towards Chen Sisi, while a part of the Guards prepared to take Deputy City Lord Wang Tianba away.
Li Xiang immediately reached the panicked Wang Tianba first, grabbing him, "City Lord Wang, I will escort You away!"
After speaking, Li Xiang immediately looked at the Guards who were preparing to come and escort the City Lord, "You also go and stop the Demon Clan Priest!!! Her strength is very high!!! A small number of people can't stop her at all!! I will escort the City Lord away!!!"
As his voice fell, Li Xiang immediately pulled Wang Tianba and ran towards the Barren Plains.
All the Guards were dumbfounded.
On the other side, Chen Sisi, knowing that she had been tricked by Li Xiang again, felt her demonic energy surge with anger.
In the eyes of the Guards, this scene was a sign of attack, so they quickly listened to Li Xiang's words and all stayed behind.
Meanwhile, the players who were waiting around for quests were completely stunned by this scene.
"Holy cow!!! Did I trigger a hidden plot?!!!"
"Hiss!!! I feel like this is a prelude to a hidden quest appearing!!!"
"Did You guys feel that the player who rolled over just now looked familiar?!"
"Ah?! Who paid attention to that player..."
"Not good! That player was taken away by the NPC Deputy City Lord! He wants to monopolize the quest, let's chase quickly!!!"
"..."
Immediately, a part of the players among the group started chasing after Li Xiang and Deputy City Lord Wang Tianba.
However, their agility attribute was too low, and they couldn't catch up to Li Xiang at all.
After Li Xiang noticed players chasing him, he glanced at the slowly moving NPC Wang Tianba beside him, picked him up, and carried him on his shoulder, "City Lord, please bear with me!"
NPC City Lord Wang Tianba was completely moved at this moment.
He had seen Li Xiang a few times before, but Li Xiang was a favored person by the City Lord, and he, a mere Deputy City Lord, had only met Li Xiang a few times.
He never expected that this Royal Guard would risk his life to save him!!!
What a truly good person!!!
【Ding! 'Wu Shuang City Deputy City Lord - Wang Tianba' favorability +15, current value: 15】
【Ding! Relationship with Wu Shuang City Deputy City Lord - Wang Tianba has reached: Friendly】
Li Xiang, who was running with NPC Wang Tianba on his shoulder, showed a look of surprise when he saw the favorability notification.
This... is this adorable?!!!
...
After running for a while, Li Xiang finally reached the Barren Plains.
At the entrance of the Barren Plains, Chen Sisi had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Li Xiang approach, her face flushed with anger.
Those Guards certainly couldn't do anything to her, but being tricked by Li Xiang like this made her furious. She had to get even!!
On the spot, she released a skill.
Large amounts of black spectral light directly blasted towards Li Xiang.
Wang Tianba looked at this scene, scared out of his wits, "Royal Guard... it's... it's that Demon!!!"
Li Xiang glanced at him. No wonder he was just a Deputy City Lord and not the City Lord.
With this kind of courage, he was far behind He Denlong, completely wasting such a domineering name.
However, Chen Sisi's attack also fell right into Li Xiang's trap.
After skillfully dodging Chen Sisi's attacks, Li Xiang pretended not to notice, fell to the ground, and directly threw the Wang Tianba he was carrying towards Chen Sisi.
Then, he made a gesture towards Chen Sisi, after which he lay on the ground motionless, pretending to be knocked out.
Over there, Wang Tianba was thrown in front of Chen Sisi, taking a tumble. After getting up dizzy, he saw Chen Sisi's beautiful face.
However, he had no intention of appreciating it. This was the Demon of the Demon Clan!!!
"Royal... Royal Guard?!"
He turned his head and saw Li Xiang playing dead on the ground.
Chen Sisi looked at the playing-dead Li Xiang and couldn't help but laugh in anger.
She understood what Li Xiang's gesture just now meant.
She was so angry that her hands hidden under her robe clenched into fists, and she gritted her teeth, wishing she could devour Li Xiang alive.
Seeing Chen Sisi's expression, Wang Tianba thought to himself, it's over.
There was no way he could escape this time...
Suddenly, Chen Sisi sneered, her gaze falling on the playing-dead Li Xiang in the distance. She parted her red lips, ready to expose Li Xiang.
The next second, she saw the playing-dead Li Xiang sit up and make a gesture with his hands clasped together towards her, while his mouth moved.
Please...
Chen Sisi read these words.
Hmph!!!
Consider yourself lucky You're sensible!!!
Her gaze returned to Wang Tianba in front of her, her eyes turning cold, filled with killing intent, "You answer what I ask. One second slow, and You die!"
Wang Tianba trembled with fear, "O-okay... okay..."
