"But now it might be more than that..." Xiyue continued, "He was already an orc with eight beast patterns decades ago. Now that he's been in seclusion for so many years, he might have already..."

Xiyue didn't dare to continue. The great witch of each family was already the top master in this world, and the highest was only a seventh-level orc. No one could break through to the eighth-level orc.

In the past few hundred years, only the Lord Mayor of Wanshou City has done it.

A high priest once predicted that the city lord was a rare and gifted child. If he could break through to the tenth level, he would be able to break through the barriers of this world and meet the legendary Beast God...

Uh, maybe that master hasn't shown up in all these years, it's very likely that he went to meet the Beast God...

Thinking of this, Xiyue shook her head violently again. How could she think like that? That adult must be alive and well!

Su Qianqian stroked her chin, her angle particularly clear, and said: "After so many years, I guess that the city lord must be a very old orc."

Maybe he is already an old grandfather with white hair...

"Of course!" Xiyue nodded proudly, and said in a boastful tone, "The great witches of those families are orcs who have lived for hundreds of years. A strong man like him must be over a thousand years old!"

"No..." The mountain cat next to him whispered, "The city lord is actually very young..."

"What nonsense are you talking about, little brat?" Xiyue saw someone trying to sabotage her and reached out as if to hit him on the head. "You're so young, what do you know?"

Shan Mao quickly covered his head and took a step back, saying, "That's right. He's from the Wu Snake Clan, and so is my mother. No one knows more about the Wu Snake Clan than I do..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly covered his mouth, as if realizing he had let something slip. He widened his eyes in horror and hurriedly tried to make amends: "No, no, no, Sister Xiyue, you're right. The City Lord is a great man who has lived for thousands of years..."

Su Qianqian: "..."

This kid is too slow to react.

She tried to change the subject, "Well, Xiyue, how can you be sure that the city lord will show up at this year's sacrificial ceremony?"

"Of course that was predicted by the High Priest!" Xiyue said seriously, "The High Priest said that as long as nothing unexpected happens this year, the City Lord will come out of seclusion."

Su Qianqian: "..."

As long as nothing unexpected happens? What if something unexpected happens?

Forget about such vague things as prophecies...

She should find a way to deal with that guy Rong Gu herself.

Su Qianqian sighed helplessly and said, "Xiyue, I have something to do recently, so I won't be back to live here. Please help me look after the cave."

"Okay." Xiyue agreed readily without asking Su Qianqian where she was going. After all, if she was in trouble, she would also go out to avoid the limelight.

Su Qianqian waved goodbye to Xiyue. Seeing Shanmao was about to leave, she reached out and grabbed the back of his collar, saying with a smile, "Don't sneak off by yourself, kid. Come on, I'll go with you to see Xiaojiu."

Unexpectedly, Shanmao refused this time, his voice trembling, "No, no, Xiaojiu has been ill these days, you'd better not go, in case she passes her illness on to you..."

Su Qianqian glanced at him and said, "Why, are you afraid that I will eat her?"

As soon as these words came out, Shan Mao was so frightened that he fell to his knees and kowtowed to her: "Please, let Xiaojiu go. Although she has the blood of the Wushe clan flowing in her body, her bloodline is not pure and she really has no fertility. Please let her go..."

The mountain cat's head was bruised and it spoke with a tearful tone.

Su Qianqian's eyes darkened.

She remembered that Shanmao had said before that their mother was bought by someone, and this "buy" probably also had the meaning of "robbery".

Although she didn't know what the snake clan represented, she knew from her experience of the modern animal world that snakes had extremely strong reproductive abilities.

She could understand the crazy competition that a female with extremely strong reproductive ability would face.

She could also understand Bobcat's desire to protect his sister.

Su Qianqian sighed, bent down and pulled Shanmao up, saying, "Don't worry, I didn't mean that. I just need to be away for a while, and I wanted to see you before I leave..."

After that, she fished out a small animal hide bag from her storage ring and handed it to the mountain cat. "Here's some sea crystal sand and food. Take some and eat. Thank you for waiting at the foot of the mountain today to give me the news. These are my token of gratitude."

Su Qianqian was not sure how the time and space of this world would be affected after she cut off all connections and entered the system auction. She also didn't know how many days she would be gone, so she thought of leaving some food for Bobcat and the others.

But since the mountain cat is so scared, she will just not see Xiaojiu. After all, she is now a male.

Su Qianqian stood up and prepared to leave, when Shanmao suddenly asked in a low voice, "Where... where are you going?"

"Of course I went out to hide." Su Qianqian made up an excuse, "You know, Rong Gu has his eyes on the sea crystal sand in my hand and he won't let me go."

Shanmao pursed his pale lips and remained silent for a moment before continuing, "In two months at the latest, the city lord will surely show up. You just have to wait until then, and then you can ask him for justice."

Su Qianqian raised her eyebrows: "How can you be so sure?"

The mountain cat lowered his head, but said with an extremely firm voice: "I am certain. Don't forget, I also have half the blood of the vulture in my body."

After saying that, as if afraid that Su Qianqian would ask more questions, he turned around and ran away with the animal skin bag.
