Chapter 171 - 171 Returning to the City
Beiting Huang had already changed back into men’s clothes on a tree branch at the top of a thousand-year-old ancient tree. Her hair was combed back into a ponytail and tied with a purple silk ribbon. The night wind blew, and her exquisite black robe fluttered in the wind. Her snow-white mask covered most of her devastatingly beautiful face, and a silver puppy was perched on her shoulder.
Thunderbolt had already returned to its original form and was floating at her feet. Beiting Huang stepped on its back and it spread its wide black wings. It carried Beiting Huang and flew towards the Magical Beast Fortress.
As they approached the Magical Beast Fortress, in order to prevent the City Defense Army from shooting them down like targets, Beiting Huang made Thunderbolt descend. Looking at the tall city wall in the distance, the black muzzles of the Magic Crystal Cannons looked even more dangerous in the night. The city was like a dangerous beast lying dormant in the dark. With a wave of her hand, Beiting Huang recalled Thunder back into her space. With a flick of her robe, she walked forward fearlessly.
The darkness enveloped her figure and melted into the ink-like darkness. Even when she reached the foot of the city, the city guards standing on the battlements and patrolling around were still unable to recognize her. The vines wrapped around Beiting Huang slowly climbed up silently.
When they arrived at the battlements, the vines swished toward Beiting Huang’s face and transformed into an exquisite mask again. Beiting Huang’s hands were on the edge of the battlements. This was the east side of the city, not far to the north. A wolf howl caused a huge commotion, causing the city guards standing here to tremble and look over.
Beiting Huang slightly exerted strength in her hand and did a somersault. She quietly landed on the battlements and rolled on the ground to avoid the city guards’ line of sight. She did another beautiful somersault and was already hanging on the city wall inside the city.
On top of the battlements, they could faintly hear someone asking, “What’s going on? Is the magical beast here?”
As the time for the opening of the Holy Spirit Ruins approached, the Magical Beast Forest had become more and more restless recently. Occasionally, high-star magical beasts would enter and leave. Nighttime was the most unsafe time.
“It’s fine. It’s a wild wolf. It’s been chased away.”
Of course, Lightning was very unhappy to be called a wild wolf. If it were in the past, he would definitely eat this stupid human. He glanced fiercely at the people on the city wall. Lightning, who had transformed into a puppy again, jumped onto Beiting Huang’s shoulder and closed his eyes to rest.
“Well done!” Beiting Huang raised her hand and patted Lightning. The commotion caused by the wolf howl just now was of course Lightning’s cover, allowing her to successfully avoid the patrols of the city guards and return to the city. She had a thousand ways to return to the city, but in order not to alert the enemy and attract the attention of the Xing Tian Mercenary Group and Madam, she had to keep a low profile for once.
She had already cast a net and was just waiting to catch fish tomorrow.
After returning to the City Lord’s Mansion and replacing Qiong Qi, Beiting Huang lay comfortably on the bed.
After a short nap, before dawn, the City Lord’s Mansion was filled with noise. The door of Beiting Huang’s room was knocked open at the first moment. Lu Qi led people over to help Beiting Huang get up. When he saw Beiting Huang, who was sleepy and getting up from the bed, Lu Qi heaved a sigh of relief. He glanced at the maid behind her and asked her to go back and report to her mistress.
