Chapter 140 Dad is not doing well, it wants to take Mom back

Sang Luo said goodbye to the housekeeper and passed by the dining room. He remembered that the candied fruit he made last time was delicious, so he went over and asked them to make another plate.

There was a tremor among the flowers in front of the house.

After the last assassination attempt, Sang Luo was paranoid and thought that another monster had sneaked in. He was about to attack it, but he saw a small black snake as thick as a little finger emerging from the bushes.

Sang Luo was stunned for a moment, surprised and happy, "Xiao Qi?"

Isn’t this the little black snake that she and Si Ye encountered at the morning market that day?

Sang Luo hurried over and double-checked, confirming that he was not mistaken. "How did you sneak into the Marquis' Mansion?"

Mother, I finally found you again! Xiao Qi's silver eyes were tearful. He opened his mouth to speak, but when he saw the servants coming and going, he remembered his father's advice that he was a natural king beast with a special status and could not speak in front of outsiders, otherwise he would be coveted by those with ulterior motives. He had no choice but to quickly close his mouth, flicked his thin little tail, and swam towards her.

Sang Luo took Xiao Qi into his palm, brushed off the dirt and fallen leaves on its body, took two steps forward, and saw a vegetable basket lying on the ground with all the leaves inside scattered out. He looked at the guilty little snake and immediately understood what was going on.

This little snake was so small that it was hard to be noticed. It must have sneaked into the vegetable basket on the road when no one was paying attention, and was brought back by the servants who went out to buy things.

"Where's your father?" Sang Luo used his mental power to search outside the house, but he didn't see the man in white. "Did you sneak out again?"

The little snake nodded.

Sang Luo sighed. Why did this little snake always like to run towards her?

She took the little snake and went to find the housekeeper again, "Mr. Yu, this little snake is called Xiaoqi. It has been separated from its father and mother again. Please bring people to help it find its parents."

Old Yu didn't notice the word "again" in Sang Luo's mouth. He thought it was a little snake that had accidentally run into the mansion. He reached out and took it, "Don't worry, Madam. I will take people to look for it right away!"

Just as his hand was about to touch the little snake, it suddenly arched its body, bared its fangs, and took an attacking stance.

Old Yu was shocked. He was a seventh-level orc after all, but his face turned pale, cold sweat seeped out of his forehead, and he had the urge to kneel down.

Sang Luo was afraid that the little snake would bite someone, so she quickly took it back. She didn't notice the sudden change in the old housekeeper's expression. He scolded, "Little Qi, be good. Don't worry. Old Yu is not a bad person. I'll ask him to help you find your father."

I don’t want a father, I only want mother! When the little snake faced her, it changed into its obedient appearance again, but as soon as Sang Luo wanted to hand it over to someone else, it immediately transformed into an offensive posture, extremely resistant to contact from outsiders.

Sang Luo had no choice but to ask the old housekeeper to post a notice in the city.

"If anyone comes to claim it, please be sure to notify me first."

"Don't worry, ma'am."

"Your father will definitely come looking for you when he finds out you're missing again. You just rest in the house and wait for a while." Sang Luo nodded its little head. The man was also very distressed as a father because his child always ran away. If it were her, she would have a headache.

Sang Luo brought Xiao Qi back to her room. She had not lived with Si Ye for the past few days. She asked someone to clean up another room. Xiao Qi sniffed the bedding filled with the scent of her mother, and curled up peacefully like a mosquito coil, looking very obedient.

Sang Luo went to the cafeteria again.

When I came back, I found that the little snake was gone.

She was anxious and searched the entire room but couldn't find it. She searched with her mental power and saw the little snake outside the house.

A strange orc saw the lone little snake and walked towards it with a few strips of meat in his hand.

Don’t encounter human traffickers!

Sang Luo didn't have time to think and hurriedly chased after him.

When he got outside the mansion, he was a step too late. The orcs and the little snakes had already left.

Sang Luo used his mental power to search again and found that the two had gone to the city gate.

She chased him all the way out of the city.

The orc disappeared, but the little snake was still there. It seemed to have no sense of danger at all and swam quickly to the deep forest outside the city.

There are many dangerous star beasts living outside the city. If it is accidentally eaten by a star beast... Sang Luo couldn't even think about it. She chased the little snake for more than ten miles and finally found it again. She had just caught it in her hand and had no time to teach it a lesson when the dangerous atmosphere quietly descended.

Several king-level star beasts jumped out of the forest and surrounded them.

Sang Luo's face darkened, but before he could make a move, the star beasts seemed to have seen something terrifying, and they turned around and ran away with their tails between their legs.

Sang Luo, "..." Is she that strong?

In the moment she was stunned, the little snake swam down from her hand again and teleported a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye.

Sang Luo had no choice but to hurry up and follow.

At this time, they were already 20 to 30 miles away from Fengwu Imperial City, out of the protection range of the city patrol team. Going further, they would reach an uninhabited dense forest, where a large number of dangerous star beasts lived, and there might even be dangerous demonized monsters.

Sang Luo used his mental power to sense the demonic energy.

There must be monsters nearby, and they are of a high level.

She stopped and said, "Xiao Qi, you can't go any further. Come back quickly. It's very dangerous there."

The little snake stopped and looked back at her, wanting her to follow.

Sang Luo frowned and hesitated. This little snake looked clever and quirky, and didn't seem like it was seeking death out of ignorance. All along the way... it seemed to be guiding her.

Sang Luo thought of a possibility and widened his eyes, "Your father! Could he have been captured by a monster?!"

Who in this world can take Dad away? But Dad does hang out with those stinky guys all day long. I don’t know what he is busy with, and he doesn’t even bring it to see Mom.

Dad is useless, so it takes mom back.

The little snake shook its head and nodded, anxiously biting the corner of Sang Luo's skirt and dragging it forward.

Looking at it like this, Sang Luo was a little hesitant for a moment, thinking that he might have guessed it right.

If it were anyone else, she would definitely not want to take the risk, but this little snake... she had an inexplicable feeling and was unwilling to leave it alone.

Now that she was at the True King level, she rarely had an opponent. If she did encounter a True King level or higher monster, she could use her soul mark to shake it off. She wasn't in any danger of losing her life.

"Okay, take me over there to rescue people, but come here first and don't stay too far away from me."

She squatted down and stretched out her hand. The little snake quickly crawled onto her wrist and wrapped itself tightly around it, as if it was afraid that she would disappear in the next second.

"You little snake are quite clingy." Sang Luo teased it and walked forward.

A lean eagle-beastman took cover from the ancient trees and had the innate ability to hide, thus avoiding the mental search.

He saw the female without anyone protecting her, a strange smile flashed across his face, and his figure teleported away, appearing in another place outside the city.

Reporting to the tall man in dark blue Chinese clothes,

"Master, that female sneaked out of the city, and Si Ye didn't follow her. This is a good opportunity for us to take action!"

They had plotted assassinations several times before, but all of them failed. They didn't expect that this female would actually fall into the trap. If they didn't take action now, when would they?
