Seeing the girl look at the box with familiarity in her eyes, it seemed the circle would be over. The box might not return to him the next day. He could feel that the girl somehow knew this box. However, this woman was still young. How could she have known this box before? Well, this would be confirmed the next day.
Yu Qi and Long Hui left the stall. After putting the box away, they walked around the market again to see if anything caught their attention.
Meanwhile, Xiaohua had already finished dealing with the bandit. She walked to the market following the aura of Yu Qi that she sensed. On the way, she met two women. One of them seemed to be angry at something.
Xiaohua avoided those two women and walked passing them. However, when she passed them, one of them looked at her and called out for her.
"Young girl."
Xiaohua stopped walking and looked over to the woman who called her. "Yes?"
"Is your mother's name Tang Yu Qi?" The woman asked.
'Tang Yu Qi, that is Master's name. Master is like my mother.' With that, Xiaohua nodded.
The other woman, who was angry earlier also turned and looked at Xiaohua. She observed Xiaohua up and down several times.
"Oh... You are indeed their children." The other woman said. She smiled and spoke again. "Come with me. I will bring you to your parent."
The first woman who spoke to Xiaohua earlier pulled the other woman over and whispered something.
"Jiye-er, she is just a child." Ling Su Liu seemed to understand what Bucong Jiye wanted to do.
"I will not be doing something that leads her to lose her life. You don't have to worry about that." Bucong Jiye said.
"But..." Ling Su Liu still hesitated.
Bucong Jiye did not want to listen to Ling Su Liu's words anymore. So, she ignored Ling Su Liu's words. She already turned to the little girl who was waiting for them.
"Come on. I will take you to your mother." Bucong Jiye said.
"Eh? You know where she is?" Xiaohua asked innocently.
"Of course. I just happened to see her earlier. Let me take you to see her." Bucong Jiye said. "Thank you," Xiaohua said.
Bucong Jiye already walked away. Ling Su Liu did not have a chance to follow Bucong Jiye. Xiaohua seemed to notice that these two women had another intention about her. These two women seemed to lead her away from Yu Qi. Yu Qi was in the opposite direction.
However, Xiaohua did not question these two women. She simply followed these two women. She wanted to see what they planned to do with her.
Right now, they were in the deep forest. Bucong Jiye stopped and turned to Xiaohua. Without hesitation, she throws some powder at Xiaohua. Xiaohua did not bother to step away and let the powder land on her body.
"Stupid girl. How could you believe someone who you never met? I bet your parent does not teach you some llessons You should enjoy it." Bucong Jiye said.
After finishing the sentence, Bucong Jiye and Ling Su Liu rushed to leave the place. The powder that she threw to Xiaohua was a powder that could attract the beast and could make the beast lose its thought and attack the human that had this powder on their body.
However, Bucong Jiye and Ling Su Liu did not manage to run away. Their path was blocked by some vines. They tried to run another path but were still blocked.
Not enough with the vines, Xiaohua trapped them as well with a cage. Xiaohua walked to the cage.
"Stupid human," Xiaohua spoke out.
"You... You..." Bucong Jiye pointed at Xiaohua. "You know we trick you!"
"You are the one who wants to trick me first telling me that you know where my Master is," Xiaohua said.
"Master? What do you mean by that? Are you her daughter?" Ling Su Liu asked.
"Of course not. I am her contracted beast." Xiaohua spoke proudly.
"What? Impossible. She already has another contracted beast." Bucong Jiye stated and did not want to admit that.
"Who says one can only have one contracted beast?" Xiaohua said.
Then, they heard some commotion.
"That must be the beasts coming over." Bucong Jiye said. She laughed and then said to Xiaohua. "You will be killed."
"Are you sure about that?" Xiaohua said.
The beasts who rushed over stopped when they saw Xiaohua. They seemed to be waryofd Xiaohua.
Bucong Jiye and Ling Su Liu were shocked to see this situation.
"What did you do?" Bucong Jiye asked.
"A beast feared what stronger than it. They knew by instinct." Xiaohua said.
"You mean you are stronger than them?" Bucong Jiye asked.
"And the beast would attack something that they felt that was their prey." Xiaohua smiled.
The cage that trapped Bucong Jiye and Ling Su Liu disappeared. The two women were
stunned.
The beasts seemed to notice the two women. Bucong Jiye and Ling Su Liu could feel the cold on their backs when they saw the beasts turn their attention to them. They recalled what Xiaohu said before. The beast would attack them if they felt something was their prey.
Right now, Bucong Jiye and Ling Su Liu felt that they were the beasts' prey. The beasts would
attack them.
"Run!" Ling Su Liu shouted to Bucong Jiye.
Bucong Jiye heard that and also started to run.
