At this moment, the little girl had already run into a small alley. She tilted her head back, sniffing the air with her nose, and suddenly her bright black eyes lit up. Her invisible little tail wagged happily, and she ran "tap tap" into the depths of the alley.
On the other side, Xuandi concealed the surprise in his eyes. At this moment, he had no time for fooling around with him, and frowned as he explained:
"I just caught a faint scent of Huaxi Rui in the air. The fragrance made from this flower is particularly attractive to our family. Many people prefer to use this fragrance, but our little dragon—cough, the little brat—is completely powerless against the allure of this exotic scent."
Huo Chengche frowned slightly, slightly taken aback. Why didn't he remember the little boy having this habit in his previous life?
But this was no time to think about that. His expression suddenly changed. "So, Niannian suddenly ran away just now because someone deliberately used this incense to lure her there?!"
Xuan Di's expression also darkened. He grunted in apology, feeling uneasy—someone might be using Hua Xi Rui to seduce the little baby, but whether it was a person or not was uncertain.
"Your hearing must be very good, right?"
In the silence, Huo Chengche suddenly spoke in a deep voice.
Xuan Di paused in his anxious search, then looked at Huo Chengche with a puzzled expression.
The latter took out a small bell pendant from his pocket and shook it in front of Xuandi. “Niannian was carrying a little tiger when she left. That tiger had this kind of pendant hanging around its neck. Listen carefully and see if you can hear the sound of this bell somewhere.”
This type of bell is specific; it doesn't have that harsh, loud sound, but rather a "rustling" sound that most people wouldn't notice unless they listened very carefully.
It is said that this bell was specially designed by the Beast Taming Bureau to prevent small beasts from fighting violently. If they fight for a long time, the sound of the bell will stimulate their ears and force them to behave.
However, for Xuandi, such a sound was quite special and very easy to find.
Xuandi's eyes lit up when he saw the bell, and he immediately closed his ears and held his breath to listen.
Suddenly, his icy eyes snapped open, flashing with a chilling light.
"Found it, come with me!"
Without pausing for a moment, Xuandi jumped off the roof and headed straight for the alley.
Huo Chengche immediately followed.
At this moment, the little baby, attracted by the fragrance, finally ran to the source of the aroma.
The little dumpling, drawn by the subtle, exotic fragrance in the air, had already transformed into a soft, cuddly little ball of flesh, and eagerly rolled over to it.
Completely unaware that she had run into a dark and narrow alley, and that the place she was supposed to go was a small cage.
In a dark corner, a sinister, cold arc appeared and disappeared in the shadows.
As the little boy took cheerful steps, approaching the cage step by step, the sinister curve of his face became increasingly tinged with a twisted excitement, and his wrinkled mouth looked particularly ferocious.
The little baby finally reached the cage, her little nose twitched, and her bright, sparkling eyes blinked excitedly. The next moment, she happily and without any hesitation, crawled inside.
"Awooooo—"
Clang—
Just as the little baby was about to enter the cage, the little tiger in her arms suddenly sprang up, leaped forward, and crashed into the cage, knocking it out of the cage.
The moment the tiger cub entered the cage, the cage door slammed shut, and the two wooden bolts on the outside of the cage locked tightly inside.
