After telling Mu Xiaoyi about the ghost, Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi continued working overtime. However, they hadn't gone far when they suddenly heard the howling of wolves coming from ahead.
"Awoo~"
The wolf's howl surprised both of them. How could there be a wolf in this place? That doesn't make sense!
Although this place is a bit remote, it's still part of the city, so how could there be wolves?
"Wolf howl? Tsk, did I hear that right?" Ya Zi looked around in surprise.
Yue Jiuling also found it strange. She said, "Could it be a dog? The howl of a husky sounds a lot like that of a wolf. Maybe it's a dog that ran away from home and is howling everywhere."
She had just finished speaking when a wolf howl and human shouts came from afar.
"Awoo~"
"Quick, they must be here! Chase after them!"
Hearing a sound, Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi both stopped and decided to see what was going on ahead.
'Thump thump thump~' Several shadows soon appeared ahead. Two of them were short and looked like some kind of animal, while the others were human.
However, when they saw the animal's shadow appear, both Yue Jiuling and the other person sensed a demonic aura.
Yue Jiuling said with a somewhat solemn expression, "There's a demonic aura. Those two are demons, aren't they?"
Ya Zi looked up and nodded, saying, "Hmm, not weak at all."
The animal shadows drew closer and closer, heading straight for the two of them. However, Yue Jiuling vaguely sensed a familiar feeling about the two approaching demonic auras.
Yue Jiuling and the other girl didn't know what kind of monsters were coming, so they hid to the side and decided to observe the situation. But when Yue Jiuling saw the true faces of the two animals, she was shocked!
"Holy crap! How could it be the two of you?!"
It turned out that the visitors were none other than the Demon King Qingcheng and Qiyou, the patriarch of the wolf clan!
With Yue Jiuling's good eyesight, she could see a large peacock and a silver wolf running desperately toward her, while several men carrying tools were chasing them in the distance.
Qingcheng recognized Yue Jiuling the moment she spoke, and he was extremely excited: "Oh my god! It's Yue Jiuling! Quick, please save us! Those humans are really crazy! We just escaped from the zoo, and they've been chasing us relentlessly, trying to take us back. We can't even use magic, it's so damn uncomfortable!"
Qi You and Yue Jiuling were old acquaintances, and he said anxiously, "Quick, help me!"
Although Yue Jiuling didn't know what was going on with these two, seeing the current situation, she immediately offered them a helping hand: "What's going on with you two? Okay, you two shrink a bit and hide in my storage artifact first."
Although Ya Zi didn't recognize Qingcheng and the other two, he saw that Yue Jiuling was familiar with them, so he didn't say anything and just watched from the side.
Yue Jiuling's storage magic item is the small crossbody bag she carries. The crossbody bag is carrot-shaped and looks very cute. It was made by Yue Jiuling before specifically to store things, but she never expected that it would be used to hide monsters this time.
Qingcheng and Qiyou quickly hid. Less than a minute later, the group of people behind them caught up with their tools. One of them, holding what looked like a hunting rifle, shouted at Yue Jiuling and Qiyou, "Hey, you guys up ahead, have you seen a wolf and a peacock? They just ran ahead."
Yue Jiuling pretended to know nothing and asked curiously, "What!? Wolves and peacocks? No, brother, are you kidding me? How could there be these things here?"
Just then, a man carrying a net approached. He was clearly out of breath from running and said, "Yes, yes, we are zookeepers. A wolf and a peacock ran away from the zoo, and we've come to catch them. Didn't you see them?"
"Pfft! Elopement?! What?! Are you guys serious?"
Upon hearing this explanation, Yue Jiuling burst into laughter. So Qingcheng and Qiyou had eloped! This news almost made her laugh herself to death.
"Hahaha~ Are you guys serious? A wolf actually eloped with a peacock, hahaha~"
Ya Zi couldn't help but laugh. He turned his gaze to Yue Jiuling's carrot-shaped crossbody bag and watched her pat the bag lightly with her hand and laugh.
The man who had spoken also laughed. He knew his story was hard to believe, but he still spoke with a serious expression:
"I'm serious. You don't know, it's common knowledge that these two animals of different species fell in love in our zoo. We knew they were in love and put them in the same cage, but who would have thought they would elope?"
He looked helpless as he said this, probably because he couldn't understand why a wolf and a peacock would elope in a place where there is food, shelter, and a lover.
Another zookeeper chimed in, "That's right! They were playing together just fine, how did they suddenly run away? We had to chase after them to catch them, it was exhausting."
"Alright, never mind. Since you didn't see them, we'll be going now. If you do see them, remember to call the police, after all, they are wolves."
"Okay, we understand."
The zookeeper couldn't find Qingcheng and the others nearby, so he quickly left. However, Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi kept chuckling until Qingcheng and Qiyou came out.
"Hey, have you finished laughing? All you do is laugh and laugh, or you'll laugh yourself to death!"
After emerging from Yue Jiuling's carrot-shaped handbag, Demon King Qingcheng transformed back into human form, put his hands on his hips, and looked at Yue Jiuling and the other person with a smile. He said with great dissatisfaction, "Don't you two have any sympathy? We're in this state, and you can still laugh. Don't you have any feelings for demons?"
Qi You stood to the side, watching the two of them with a helpless smile.
"Hahaha~ You two eloped, hahaha~ This is hilarious..."
Yue Jiuling kept laughing, which made Qingcheng extremely helpless. He said, "What kind of nonsense is this, 'elopement'? We ran away together. I don't know what kind of brain these humans have. They say we're in love just because we're together and not fighting, and they even let tourists take pictures of us. They're just crazy."
It turns out that when Qingcheng and Qiyou were recuperating at the zoo, Qingcheng wanted to go find Qiyou, so she ran into Qiyou's wolf cage. However, the ordinary wolves in the cage had already been controlled by Qiyou, so when Qingcheng went in, the wolves didn't react.
After Qingcheng went inside, she stayed with Qiyou, chatting and recovering from her injuries. However, the zookeepers discovered them and suspected that the two animals of different species had fallen in love. They even put them in the same cage for tourists to take pictures.
And so, a misunderstanding arose, and the two of them, having recovered from their injuries, couldn't resist running away.
