Pampered Beasts: Beautiful Actress, Many Children, Many Blessings

Chapter 118 A nest of snakes and rats

Despite the suspicions, Yunxi still protected Xixi all the way, quickly avoiding the crowd by turning left and right, and heading towards the courtyard.

However, from a distance, the two noticed that the lights in Nuannuan's courtyard were off.

"Could they really have run away?" Yunxi frowned.

"Climb over the wall and get in!" Xixi gritted her teeth. She didn't believe that Nuannuan would really blindly follow. The herd mentality actually has a flaw: it means that the flock of sheep has no conflict with the goal. If someone like Nuannuan, who shares the same fate, also runs away, then it can't be called blind following; it's simply foolish, utterly stupid!

Finally, as the two successfully scaled the courtyard wall, a sharp weapon was pressed against their necks, and a deep voice came from behind them, "Password!"

Xixi: "???" What's going on here? Why are they even using passwords?

Before she could introduce herself or even try to engage with them, she heard the sounds of fighting behind her, followed by screams and the thud of heavy objects falling to the ground. It sounded like quite a commotion!

However, it was too dark around her, and even with her eyes wide open, she couldn't see anything.

Then, she heard a trembling female voice ask, "Who...who are you people?"

"Nuan Nuan?" Xi Xi asked in confusion. She was too familiar with that voice; it was Nuan Nuan's voice!

“Xixi?” the female responded immediately, but her voice was full of uncertainty. “You also believe that Fatty Orange is not dead, so you brought in the ‘Yun’ group of helpers?”

"Uh... how should I put it? I do believe my beastman husband isn't dead, but... I..." I didn't call for help!

Before she could finish speaking, Yun Xi suddenly said, "It's pitch black, don't hurt your own people!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Nuannuan realized that the hand that had been choking her neck had suddenly loosened. Before she could figure it out, her mouth was already a step ahead, "Quick, turn on the light!"

The lamps, also known as oil lamps, are made from the fat of monsters. They can be used for cooking, but using them for lighting lamps is a bit of a luxury.

The oil lamp flickered, emitting a faint light that could only illuminate those nearby, leaving only shadows of people in the distance.

Xixi spotted Yunxi lying not far from Nuannuan at a glance and immediately exclaimed, "How are you? Your combat power is low, you should stay away at a time like this!"

Upon closer inspection, the others realized that besides Xixi, the female, there was only Yunxi, the male. So who had suddenly attacked them?

Although the move wasn't aimed at vital points, it was still quite powerful; their arms and legs are still numb!

But Xixi said that this male had weak combat power, so could it be that he was accidentally injured by one of their own?

What a hell!

Yunxi lowered his eyes, avoiding the scrutinizing gazes of these people, and curled up in Xixi's arms. "Although my combat strength is weak, as a male, I swear to protect Xixi with my life. It's just that I accidentally twisted my ankle and haven't been able to get up. Xixi, are you hurt?"

Xixi looked down at herself and shook her head blankly. The fight just now seemed to be deliberately avoiding her. There was movement all around, but not a single sleeve touched her. It was really strange.

Never mind, it's probably just a coincidence.

Xixi didn't take it to heart, and instead shared her guess that Fatty Orange was still alive.

The two sides surprisingly agreed on this point.

"To be honest, not only do I think so, but the chief and my grandmother also think so!" Nuannuan said, introducing, "These people are all the chief and my grandmother's confidants. Since it was inconvenient for them to show up in person, they asked me to be the leader and lead everyone to secretly leave the tribe to meet up with Fatty Orange!"

"To avoid being discovered by those people, we turned off the lights and set a password!"

She then briefly introduced their trip plan, direction of travel, etc., and Xixi had a thorough exchange with her, and the two sides finally reached a high degree of consensus.

"We'll split into two groups. You guys leave separately as planned. I'll meet up with the 'Yun' brothers and then we can leave through the main gate." Anyway, they had already reported it, so sneaking away would only arouse suspicion.

"After leaving the tribe, we'll head south. The beast tide is over there, and we're more likely to find Fatty Orange there!" Xixi said, then casually drew a few symbols and pointed to them one by one, saying, "This one means leave immediately; this one means emergency rescue; this one means target located; this one means gather and discuss! Got it all?"

Surrounded by monsters, they couldn't shout to each other from a distance, nor could they make too much noise. Letters were also inconvenient, so it was more efficient to communicate using simple symbols.

Not only was Nuannuan amazed, but Yunxi was equally astonished. He secretly traced these symbols, thinking that he should tell his godfather later that the "Yun" character would be used by the whole team in the future, which would save a lot of trouble in communication!

Xixi didn't think too much about it. These were things she had played with when she was young, like playing house. She still remembered them after all these years, so she just took them out and used them.

During the arrangement process, two or three more people arrived. Xixi roughly counted them, and including Nuannuan, there were a total of thirty-four people, which was quite a considerable number.

In particular, they all claimed to be at least level six in terms of combat strength!

It can be said that everyone standing here is a tribal elite!

Xixi even noticed that many of them had been her customers, and couldn't help but cheer them on: "Once we find Fatty Orange, we'll give you a pep talk and a 12% discount!"

Everyone rolled their eyes. At this point, couldn't they be a little more generous and just give it away for free?

Unfortunately, Xixi was unaware of what everyone was thinking. At that moment, she was in a hurry to go home to find Xida and also to reunite with the "Yun" group!

In order to conceal their whereabouts and to avoid exposing Nuannuan and the others, they couldn't just appear so openly on the street.

So, at Yunxi's suggestion, Xixi decisively transformed into a beast, and Yunxi also transformed into a beast, opened his blood-red maw, and with a roar, swallowed the milky yellow hamster into his mouth, then scurried along the corner of the wall and disappeared without a trace.

"No wonder they're from the same nest, their compatibility... is truly remarkable!"

"I thought the cat-beastmen's dynamic vision was invincible, but I never expected they couldn't even see a snake's shadow!"

Xixi was oblivious to the whispers of the people behind her; at that moment, she was trying to shrink herself and was trembling with fear.

It wasn't that she didn't trust Yunxi; it was just that she never imagined in either of her lives that she would one day be hiding in a snake's mouth! And less than two millimeters above her head were those two venomous fangs!

The journey was extremely short, yet Xixi experienced what it meant for each day to feel like an eternity!

Finally, accompanied by a familiar voice in my ear, "It's done!"

Immediately afterwards, she was carried and placed on a soft couch.
