Chapter 697: Chapter 701: Where is the Money Bag?
Liao Li was focused ahead, imagining the joy of dominating the entire Beastman Continent in the future. His heart surged with uncontrollable elation, filling his chest. He didn’t even notice the emperor’s strange grin behind him.
······
After leaving the inner palace, Su Tang and her companions didn’t rush to return. They decided to wander around the streets.
Perhaps due to the news of the Lord’s plan to release the cubs being spread by the old lady. Coupled with the fact that Si Zai was not taken, the news quickly spread from one person to ten, and then to a hundred. Soon, everyone in the inner city knew about it.
Everyone’s faces were glowing with long-lost smiles. The previously gloomy inner city seemed to come alive in an instant.
Standing on the street, Su Tang watched the bustling scene in front of her. There wasn’t a roar of noise, but compared to before, it felt like there was now a touch of worldly vibrancy.
Gaiyin patted her on the head, "Let’s go and explore."
Street vendors shouted loudly, selling their products to anyone who passed by. It was a bustling, crowded scene.
Perhaps everyone had been suppressing themselves for too long. Suddenly hearing good news, they all wanted to relax.
The streets were jam-packed with people, making it difficult for them to walk side by side, so they divided into two rows.
Gaiyin led the way, protecting Su Tang. Xi’en followed closely. He had initially wanted to walk beside Su Tang, but under Gaiyin’s icy gaze, he had to walk next to Gaiyin instead.
Yadang and Qi were protecting Qiu Mo from behind, acting like knights protecting the princess, keeping her safe in the middle.
Qiu Mo sighed, "I suddenly miss the streets of yesterday. It wasn’t as crowded, and it was more comfortable to walk."
Su Tang managed to spare a moment to smile back at her, "What’s so fun about that? Today’s bustling scene is more interesting."
Qiu Mo nodded thoughtfully, "You have a point."
The farther they went, the more people there were.
Out of nowhere, the two groups were separated by the crowd.
When Su Tang turned around and found out that she couldn’t see Qiu Mo, she asked Gaiyin, "Should we find a place to wait for them?"
Gaiyin slightly frowned, looked around at the unusually large crowd, and felt that something was a little off. "Let’s keep going. They won’t get lost together," he said.
Su Tang thought about it and found it reasonable. With Yadang and Qi protecting Qiu Mo, they wouldn’t be in danger. And where they lived was not far from here, they could totally go back on their own.
Therefore, Su Tang stopped worrying about them.
The trio continued to follow the crowd, and perhaps due to the energetic atmosphere, Su Tang was consistently excited.
In her hand was the pouch that the Great Leader had given them when they first met. She looked around, preparing to buy something.
Before she found anything interesting, suddenly a beastman, who she had no idea where he came from, bumped into Su Tang.
As soon as the collision happened, they separated immediately. The beastman hurriedly apologised, "I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to. Are you okay?"
There were many people here, and besides being hit, she didn’t feel any other discomfort.
Su Tang shook her head, "It’s fine, just be careful next time."
While thanking her, the beastman retreated into the alley outside the crowd.
Gaiyin felt something was amiss and lowered his head to ask Su Tang, "Are you really okay?"
Su Tang shrugged it off and laughed, patting her arms and legs, "I’m fine, see? All good!"
Gaiyin gradually relaxed his frown.
At this moment, Xi’en suddenly whispered, "Where’s your money pouch?"
