A sweet story about traveling into the world of beasts, killing the heroine and becoming the next in
Chapter 15: Baby Seeks Help
Xuan Heng looked at the street below meaningfully. He gave Lan Ning an answer at the right time, "The people who protect the safety of Wanjing are from the wolf tribe."
Lan Ning's drooping cat ears immediately stood up. She remembered that there was a person on her mission list named Jing Ye, who was the leader of the wolf tribe.
She had never seen it.
Speaking of which, there are five characters in Lan Ning's strategy list, but she has only unlocked three of them so far: Xuan Heng who stays by her side all day, Xuan Mo who is a busy man and rarely seen, and this mysterious general.
According to the general game routine, if the protagonist wants to go on a raid, shouldn't he prepare a navigation map or related tasks? She was also puzzled about this question, and the answer she got was.
"Since you are not the heroine, the movement of the target is very random, and the target that does not appear will be replaced at any time according to the progress of the mission."
A horrible garbage system.
Lan Ning was complaining about the system, but her eyes were already attracted by the excitement downstairs.
In this world where there are more men than women, men will choose transportation and clothing to highlight their noble status. The man who just shouted opened a path, and a huge team squeezed through the crowd and passed by.
The man in the lead, wearing silver armor, had a rare short black hair and a tough, handsome face that was chilling. His silver eyes swept across the crowd gathered on the roadside, and just one look was enough to scare the group of people into silence.
He rode a black horse with red eyes, which made his figure look more upright. Behind him followed two exquisite and luxurious carved carriages, which were protected by bronze-armored soldiers on both sides. Pennants of different colors were flying on the carriages.
"Your Highness, what do those flags mean?" Lan Ning asked curiously.
Xuan Heng glanced at them. "The flags on the carriages represent the different tribes they come from. The silver flag represents the Wind City Wolf Tribe, and the other green flag is the Qiu City Black Fox Tribe. The person who just shouted was holding a red flag, which means there are newborns in these two carriages."
People in Wanjing attach great importance to offspring, so women who give birth to newborns will be given special treatment.
No wonder the general who guards the country received him personally.
Lan Ning lay on the windowsill and watched. With her natural cat-orc acumen and the skill of "sixth sense", she could distinguish the true form and strength of some orcs even though her cultivation was not enough.
In terms of aura, Jing Yan is on par with Xuan Heng, and in terms of appearance, they each have their own merits.
Lan Ning was comparing herself to that man, thinking he was more handsome, when a hand unconsciously wrapped around her waist. The familiar breath sprayed on her neck, hot enough to make her cat ears tremble.
"Is he that handsome?" Xuan Heng's slightly dangerous voice sounded in her ears.
"No, I was looking at the carriage." Lan Ning's rebuttal was a little pale.
She always liked to stare at Xuan Heng these days. The other party's prototype was a golden-eyed black python, which was shown in the information. But she wondered if there was any world secret hidden in it. In fact, as she looked at and thought about it, she was immersed in the beauty and couldn't extricate herself.
Who would have known that the arrogant Regent would interpret her gaze as a sign of gradual love and admiration?
Then he would always find various reasons to tease Lan Ning for a kiss, and occasionally they almost got into a kiss. Xuan Heng would coax her to sleep and then quickly leave Narcissus Pavilion.
Lan Ning sometimes thought that if it weren't for her physical condition, she would have been swallowed alive by the big black python.
"What's so good about a carriage?" Xuan Heng obviously didn't believe her. He held her in his arms, staring at the army below with his golden eyes, "Xiaoguai, don't lie to me."
Lan Ning had never realized that this man was so jealous before. She just looked at Jing Ye a few more times, and that was not okay? She was about to open her mouth to make a few excuses for herself when the faint cry of a baby floated into her ears.
“It feels so uncomfortable… so full… oooh…”
Lan Ning's cat ears immediately stood up. The childish voice came from nowhere, so weak that it almost disappeared.
"It hurts so much... help me..."
After a few breaths, Lan Ning heard these words again, but she found the source of the sound, which was the two carriages.
The voices below were still noisy, but this time they were replaced by cheers and blessings. The faint, childish voice was very obvious among them. In an instant, an incredible idea was born in Lan Ning's mind: she could hear babies talking!
Perfect Xiaoliu reminded in time, "Master, there is a hidden task in the carriage below."
"What's wrong?" Xuan Heng didn't like Lan Ning being in a daze while talking to him. He exerted a little force with his palm to draw Lan Ning's attention back, but the person in his arms turned around and stared at him with a serious face.
Lan Ning pointed at the team below and asked, "Can we stop them?"
Xuan Heng was puzzled, "Why?" He has never been a nosy person, especially since Jing Ye was escorting him.
"I heard the children inside calling for help."

Bian Zhao squeezed through the crowd to find his daughter and ran into the team escorted by Jing Ye. He hurriedly took two steps back, and before he could say hello, the daughter he had been looking for for a long time was held by Xuan Heng and stood in front of Jing Ye.
Who in Wanjing doesn’t know Lan Ning?
Jing Ye dismounted from his horse and stood in front of Lan Ning, bowing respectfully. "Meet Princess Lan Ning, meet the Regent."
Looking at Jing Ye's face from the front, Lan Ning thought to himself what a pity. His facial features were rather tough and deep, and his silver eyes added a bit of wild beauty. Unfortunately, there was a scar on the right side of his cheek that ran from the corner of his forehead across his eye.
Lan Ning couldn't help but ask the perfect Xiaoliu in his body, "He was not favored by Furou, could it be because of this scar?"
Perfect Xiaoliu: "Congratulations to the host for answering correctly and getting 1000 points."
Lan Ning: “…”
As a heroine, it's normal to have high expectations!
Jing Ye has been an official in the court for three years and fought in countless battles. He has never had any conflicts with anyone in the court. To be honest, he was very confused when Xuan Heng and the princess stopped him.
"What's the matter with you two stopping us here?" Jing Ye didn't expect Lan Ning to answer him, so he slowly turned his gaze to Xuan Heng, hoping that he could give a reasonable explanation.
In fact, Xuan Heng was not very clear either. Lan Ning said that there was a child in the carriage asking for help, but he clearly felt that the people inside were safe and sound. Thinking of the unique pair of eyes and seeing that Lan Ning was very persistent, he still brought the person here.
"Let everyone in the carriage get off." Xuan Heng said lightly.
Jing Ye looked at Xuan Heng disapprovingly, "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
Lan Ning stood in front of Xuan Heng, looking up, trying not to let her momentum weaken, "It's my request."
Facing Lan Ning, Jing Ye's voice was a little gentler. He obviously regarded this naive little princess as a child. "Your Highness, the people in the carriage are all here to attend the Fuji Banquet in Wanjing. I want to escort them to the palace."
"I know." Lan Ning leaned over to look at the carriage. "It's inconvenient for them to get off. Can I go up?"
Jing Ye couldn't help but frown. He didn't expect Lan Ning's request to be so strange. "Why are you so obsessed with the person in the carriage?"
Lan Ning looked at Jing Ye's serious expression. If she didn't owe the system so many points, she wouldn't want to meddle in other people's business.
She waved at Jingye, "Come here, I'll tell you in secret."
