After the auction ended, the Beastmen began to leave one after another.
Si Shuo was getting sleepy, so she lay on Zhi Le, who had transformed into a Snow Leopard. Ji Liang and the others stayed close, protecting her as they inched their way out with the crowd.
Once they were out of the Beast Skin Bag, a cool night breeze washed over them, and Si Shuo comfortably nuzzled against Zhi Le's soft, warm fur.
"Why'd we stop?" Sensing his pause, Si Shuo opened her eyes and saw Xiao Shisi striding toward them.
She couldn't help but sit up straight. The corners of her mouth started to lift into a smile, but she immediately flattened them, putting on the same cold expression as the males.
Xiao Shisi walked right up to her. Smiling, he looked up and gave her hand a little tug. His voice was gentle.
"Sister, I heard from Master Xu that you'll be staying in Dongye Middle Square for ten days.
I have to go out for something tomorrow. When I get back, can I still travel with you?
