Ji Fengming and Hei Xiao discussed it and decided that they should inform Shang Xiye about this matter, lest the people of the Ninth Prince's Mansion be too busy to spare any attention recently, and since Shang Nanjue has always been in hiding and has not made any unusual moves in the past, it would be bad if they overlooked the need to be wary of him.

The two had just jumped into the backyard of the Ninth Prince's mansion.

Suddenly, a furtive figure darted out from in front. The person seemed completely absorbed in their own world, oblivious to the two figures that had just jumped into the shadows against the wall.

The air was filled with an incredibly enticing aroma of meat.

Even though Hei Xiao and Ji Fengming had just enjoyed fine wine and food at Cuihonglou, they were still tempted and silently swallowed, their mouths watering.

"Wow, where did this guy steal some divine food from?" Ji Fengming's appetite was whetted by the aroma of the meat, and he quietly sent a telepathic message to Black Owl: "Should we follow him and see?"

Black Owl had the same idea.

The two followed the man all the way to the stables.

By the dim light from the stable, Ji Fengming and Hei Xiao could see that the person was a woman in brocade robes with her hair styled in the bun of a low-ranking servant.

It was Wan Yan, whom Qian Yingying brought into the mansion, who was then punished by Ji Fengyao to clean the stables.

Ji Fengming and Hei Xiao had never met Wan Yan before and did not recognize her. They assumed she was a lowly maid in the manor and lost interest.

The two were turning to leave.

Black Owl suddenly reached out and grabbed Ji Fengming again: "Something's not right. How could a lowly maid be wearing such fine clothes? There must be something wrong with her."

Just then, Wan Yan stopped in her tracks, opened the food box in her hand with a narcissistic look on her face, leaned over to smell the tempting aroma of the meat, and muttered to herself, "I gave you good meat and you didn't eat it. This time I added Dream Soul Grass, you asked for it!"

After taking a few steps, Wan Yanfu muttered to herself again, "That's right. It's just a beast, what could it know about good and bad? It was my own oversight. If I had used the Dream Soul Grass last time, I wouldn't have suffered such a big loss."

brute?

Ji Fengming and Hei Xiao exchanged glances again, their expressions strange.

She wasn't talking about the ghost mask, was she?

At this moment, Wan Yan had already arrived at the gate of the courtyard where Ghost Face lived.

As she lifted the lid of the food box, she fanned the tempting aroma of meat from inside into the yard, and softly called out in a low voice, "Little pony, I've brought you some delicious food again, and this time it's really good stuff..."

Ji Fengming and Hei Xiao, who were behind them, couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths.

Ji Fengming: "Guess how long it will take for her to be kicked out?"

Black Owl: "One, two,..."

Wan Yan herself was drooling from the aroma of the meat. Full of confidence, she walked into the yard, drool still on her tongue, and continued calling out, somewhat indistinctly, "Little colt..."

But she never dreamed that the Yazi beast's sense of smell was a hundred times better than a human's.

What humans find extremely fragrant is the ultimate delight to the Yazi beast.

The demon mask, who was dreaming of gnawing on dragon bones, was suddenly disturbed from his sweet dream.

Upon opening its eyes, it smelled a pungent odor and heard that same lewd woman from before, now boldly running back to call it "little colt."

His morning grumpiness combined with his short temper caused Ghost Face to explode on the spot, unleashing a lightning-fast soul claw attack: "┗|｀O′|┛ Awooo~~!"

"You son of a bitch!"

"ah--!"

"Whoosh—!"

Just then, the black owl outside finished counting: "Three..."

Like a shooting star without its own brilliance, Wanyan once again glided across the Kyoto night sky in an incredibly beautiful parabola, heading straight for the horizon.

And then, that was it.

Ji Fengming: "..."

Black Owl: "..."

The nearby guards: "..."
