"Someone is following us."
Little Fragrant Pig also noticed the "rat" that was tailing them.
"Hmm." Luo Qingtong responded softly, having naturally noticed as well.
Interesting!
She had just entered the city for a short while, listening to some gossip before leaving, without ever alerting the people of the Black Domain Suburb.
Yet those people had followed her. Clearly, they had been waiting for her for who knows how long.
And her decision to enter this Black Domain Suburb was a spur of the moment.
That is to say, in every major Black Domain Suburb, there might be such people waiting for her!
Apart from that man's force, could there really be another force of such a magnitude?
Amusing.
"Let's go, and don't mind them."
She wanted to see exactly who was out to get her from behind.
From start to finish, Luo Qingtong pretended not to be aware of those people's existence.
She and Little Fragrant Pig left the Black Domain Suburb without deactivating their disguises and checked into an inn in a nearby city.
"Rent an entire annex building." Luo Qingtong went ahead and rented an entire annex of the inn.
The innkeeper, seeing the large sum of money given by Luo Qingtong, grinned widely and immediately agreed.
"Is there anything else you need, guest?" he excitedly asked.
"Is there anything I need?" Luo Qingtong raised her hand to stroke the smooth chin unveiled beneath the Rashamon Mask, her lips curving into a mysterious arc.
"After night falls, there's no need to send anyone over to check or serve. I have a bad temper; if I get disturbed, someone is going to suffer a bloody disaster. Oh, and don't bother giving back the extra rent money. Consider it compensation!"
Her words were full of deep meaning.
She then turned and left directly.
"Huh? Compensation for what?" The innkeeper was thoroughly confused.
However, he was overjoyed to encounter such a generous guest who required no special service, so he did not dwell on it.
In the distance, those who had been trailing Luo Qingtong saw that she had settled in the inn.
They quietly withdrew.
"Let's go, we'll get a good night's sleep and wait to greet our guests in the evening."
Watching through her Pupil Vision as these people stealthily retreated, thinking themselves concealed, Luo Qingtong leaned against the courtyard wall, her hand stroking the fluffy fur of Little Fragrant Pig, laughing with an unrestrained and sinister air.
In that smile, there was a hint of bloodthirstiness.
She jumped off the wall and returned to her room with Little Fragrant Pig.
Both of them, with great peace of mind, shut the door and went to bed!
That night.
The moon shone brightly, the sky draped with silk, myriad stars glinting and illuminating the earth beneath.
In this moment, figures drenched in blood-red silently and invisibly appeared around the annex rented by Luo Qingtong.
Swish, swish, swish!
A flash of bright light emanated from the weapons they wielded.
"Bang!"
They leaped into the courtyard, aiming to approach and break into the main house.
The very next second—
"Boom!" Suddenly, an Array rose up from all around the courtyard, enveloping the entire annex within it.
Within the pale silver glow of the Array, the main house's door opened, and Luo Qingtong, dressed in red and covered with the Rashamon Mask, stepped out from inside.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time! And you're too late, I've already finished my midnight snack!"
Her neat masculine attire, accentuating the slender waist of her youthful figure, revealed a devilish charm and entrancing allure.
That clear, cool voice, combined with the Ghost Mask on her face, made her appear like a Soul Hooking Messenger who had stepped out of Purgatory, treading on blood.
One glance could captivate the Divine Soul!
