Su Yining's heart was burning with anticipation. She instantly clicked on the mailbox post, which led her to the chat room.
Yuanyuan had left her a strange reply: "Are you a man or a woman?"
She blinked. Did this game want to do a gender survey? Thinking it wasn't a big deal, she replied about her gender truthfully.
Xie Ziyuan's eyes flashed as he stood beside the mailbox post. There was a reply from the person again. He read the two words with some contemplation on his face.
A woman.
He thought about these female beastmen and his wariness grew higher. Some of them were really bold in chasing after him, but he disliked them all no matter what kind of offer they gave him.
One of them even offered her entire tribe.
Even his notorious reputation couldn't stop them.
It was quite crazy. He had to use his polymorph ability to hide from them, disguising himself as the ugliest beastman he could think of.
Thankfully, it was effective. They stopped disturbing him after they couldn't find him.
Was this another such case…? He was a little paranoid.
Narrowing his eyes, he hid the undercurrent in his gaze before he wrote again: "What's your purpose in approaching me?"
Su Yining stared at Yuanyuan's question and tilted her head. She had been poking his cheek a few times, so he must have known she had something for him, eh?
Although she couldn't get rid of the feeling that something was wrong, she still replied to him. "I want to give you something. Where are you going?"
She added the last question because she was terribly curious.
On the other side, Xie Ziyuan curled up his lips mockingly when he saw these two sentences. This person always followed him whenever he went.
She could even instantly spot him and teleport directly to the place. Why was she still pretending?
Xie Ziyuan's mood became a little worse. She didn't even answer honestly and dodged his question.
"You already know." He scribbled on the paper and put it on the mailbox post. However, after a while, he changed his mind and added a sentence that made it sound more sarcastic. "Why bother to ask?"
Xie Ziyuan found out that he needed to put the piece of paper on the mailbox or she wouldn't reply. Of course, he wouldn't know about the three messages limit.
She stared at the three words in puzzlement and blinked. No, she didn't know about it yet. The last sentence wasn't delivered to her.
"I don't know yet, can you tell me?" Once she finished typing, she pressed send. Unfortunately, after waiting for a while, she still didn't get any reply. Even when her Yuanyuan was still standing beside the mailbox post.
She let out a sigh. Not only was the game developer stingy, even the AI quality was a little bad. It gave her some nonsensical message she couldn't comprehend.
Su Yining suddenly became a little hungry, so she clicked on the Teleportation Talismans in the inventory and put them on Xie Ziyuan's hands. Then, she logged out of the game, wanting to make something for dinner.
Xie Ziyuan waited for a while and still hadn't received a reply. His face became a little more grim as he took the paper out of the mail box for the third time.
Is she angry at him? He couldn't tell.
He frowned when he felt the texture of some rough surface of a paper. There was something on his hand.
His eyes inspected the three pieces of Teleportation Talisman in wonder. He seemed to know what these are for…
"Master Xie," the pair of siblings greeted him. Lin Yuyao was busy roasting the bear meat while her brother took the job of seasoning and washing them.
Xie Ziyuan thought about the rice that had disappeared from the warehouse. This time, besides the few portions she used to replant the rice, the number was intact.
She even dehulled them using the mini rice mill. He had a feeling she didn't take them because of the trip he had taken.
He really couldn't describe how he was feeling at this moment…
"Are we going to move during the night, Master Xie?" Lin Yuyao cautiously asked. She almost forgot to tell him something crucial.
Three days was the time it had taken her and her brother to arrive there because they had never stopped, always moving even during the night.
"Yes," Xie Ziyuan confirmed. "We should arrive there tonight."
"Huh?" Lin Yuyao blinked in confusion. Even Lin Yu'an's movement of seasoning the meat had stopped.
"Describe the place to me." Xie Ziyuan ordered and didn't go straight to explain to them.
As such, as soon as they finished dinner, the cave where the three of them stayed became empty, only leaving the delicious smell of roasted meat and traces of burning fireplace.
Xie Ziyuan was rather composed. After all, it wasn't his first time experiencing teleportation. However, the pair of siblings' reaction was a bit more severe.
They were coughing non-stop, almost vomiting all the content in their stomach. Still, they desperately held on and swallowed back the food that had reached their throats.
Their reaction was embarrassing enough. If they vomited, it would look unsightly. Food was scarce and they couldn't waste them. Not everyone had the privilege to eat fierce beasts' meat like them!
"This is the place?" Xie Ziyuan asked, scanning his surroundings.
Everything was dark except for the moon hanging in the sky. There was only a faint silver light.
"Yes." Lin Yu'an confirmed. "The place should be a few hundred meters away from here, Master Xie."
They wouldn't be crazy enough to teleport directly into the traffickers' place.
The pair of siblings brought Xie Ziyuan into the small cocoon made of vines. They had used this place to hide temporarily when they escaped.
In that place, they told Xie Ziyuan more details they could remember. After a while, he told them. "You two stay here."
They were startled. "But, Master Xie…"
He didn't even wait for them to reply before he went out of the vine cocoon.
Su Yining opened the game again after she finished cooking and cleaning herself. The first thing she saw was a few beastmen chibis tightly bound to a pillar or inside a cage.
It was similar to the situation when she first found Xie Ziyuan.
