The wide streets of the Orcish Imperial City were bustling with people. Lin Ziyu and Long Yan walked side by side down the street. They had already walked around, but Lin Ziyu was already feeling a little exhausted. He pulled Long Yan aside and pointed to a teahouse not far ahead. "Brother Yan, I'm a little tired. Let's go to that teahouse up ahead and rest for a while."

Long Yan looked in the direction Lin Ziyu pointed and saw a plaque hanging above the teahouse with the four characters "Yu Ji Teahouse" written on it. He was moved and remembered what Qin Jinghuai had mentioned to him before. So he nodded and agreed, "Okay, let's go over and rest for a while."

The two walked into Yu Ji Teahouse together. The waiter greeted them warmly and took them to a private room on the second floor. He then served them tea and snacks. Lin Ziyu leaned back in his chair, stretched, and took a sip from his teacup. He felt his fatigue instantly dissipate.

Long Yan silently surveyed his surroundings, pondering something in his mind. He had been paying attention to the people coming and going since entering the teahouse. Humans were the most common, though there were also a few orcs and seafolk.

Lin Ziyu saw Long Yan looking in one direction and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Brother Yan, what are you looking at?"

Long Yan turned his head to look at Lin Ziyu and whispered in his ear, "That person to your lower right looks familiar. I seem to have seen him somewhere."

Lin Ziyu looked in the direction Long Yan mentioned. The man was wearing green clothes and was sitting there, staring at the entrance of the teahouse with a nervous look, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

Lin Ziyu observed the man carefully, but he had no impression of him. He looked at Long Yan in confusion, "Brother Yan, are you sure you have seen him?"

Long Yan frowned slightly and nodded, "Yes, but I can't remember where I've seen it before."

As he was speaking, the man slowly stood up and walked towards the door. Long Yan and Lin Ziyu exchanged a glance, a hint of doubt and vigilance in their eyes. They nodded in tacit understanding and decided to send someone to follow him and see what was going on.

Long Yan called softly, "Long Shen."

"Yes, Your Highness." Long Shen's voice came from a distance, as if carrying a mysterious aura.

Then, a figure quietly followed the man not far away, moving towards the door as silently as a ghost. The man reached the door and exchanged a few words with a man dressed in black who had just entered. Both men had serious expressions, as if discussing something important. Then, they left the teahouse together and disappeared into the bustling crowd.

Long Shen hurried to catch up, carefully keeping his distance, not wanting the other party to notice his presence. He was filled with curiosity, wanting to find out the identities of these two people and where they were going.

Half an hour later, Long Shen returned. With a solemn expression, he approached His Highness, bowed, and said, "Your Highness, I followed them all the way to a somewhat dilapidated courtyard. I heard one of them say, 'Chief, we failed to intercept the Prime Minister.' The chief said, 'You useless creatures! You can't even handle such a trivial matter.' Then he killed them both."

Recalling the scene at that time, Long Shen was filled with doubt and confusion, and then said: "Your Highness, I didn't see how the man called the clan leader left, nor did I feel any spiritual energy fluctuations. He disappeared in an instant. I went to check, and there was no mechanism inside."

At this moment, the furry ball sleeping on Lin Ziyu's shoulder suddenly opened its eyes, looked at Long Shen and asked, "Where have you been? Why do you smell so strongly of decay? Huh..." Then it jumped to the ground, circled around Long Shen, and said, "The smell of the space rabbit..." Then it began to recall, "Didn't the space rabbit die out a thousand years ago?"

Then it circled around the dragon ginseng again, "It's the smell of the space rabbit..." It walked to Lin Ziyu, jumped lightly, and jumped into Lin Ziyu's arms, then looked up at Lin Ziyu and said, "Boy, do you want to get the space rabbit?"

Long Yan was shocked when he heard the fluffy ball's words. "Space rabbit!" This was an extremely rare and powerful creature. He immediately remembered the description of the space rabbit: this rabbit possesses a unique spatial ability, able to create an independent space. If combined with a dream beast, the dream space formed could even become a small world in its own right. Thinking of this, Long Yan immediately said to Long Shen, "Long Shen, lead the way. Let's go and take a look together."

Lin Ziyu and Long Yan followed the route that Long Shen had just taken, and walked all the way to the dilapidated courtyard that Long Shen mentioned, but they did not encounter any space rabbits.

Longyan and the others checked again but found no useful clues. Plush Tuanzi said, "Let's go! The smell of decay is strong here."

Then, they walked back along the route that Long Shen had taken. As they walked, the plush ball pointed at the rabbit stall on the right with its paw and said, "Boy, where is the space rabbit?"

Long Shen saw where the plush ball pointed, and he remembered that he had stood there for a while, trying to avoid the carriage. It turned out that this was where he had picked up the scent of the space rabbit. There were just several rabbits, but which one was the space rabbit?

Lin Ziyu and Long Yan walked over to the stall selling rabbits. While observing the rabbits on the stall, Lin Ziyu communicated with Mao Rongtuanzi in his mind: "Mao Rongtuanzi, look quickly, which one of these is the Space Rabbit?"

"The second and third ones from the left are them!" the plush ball answered excitedly.

Lin Ziyu looked in the direction that the plush ball had pointed and saw the two gray rabbits. Compared to the other rabbits, they were lifeless, gray, small, and ugly. But since the plush ball had said they were space rabbits, then it must be true.

Just as Lin Ziyu was about to ask the stall owner about the price, he suddenly heard Plush Tuanzi say, "Hey... these two space rabbits are already pregnant."

"What did you say?" Lin Ziyu asked in surprise.

"These two space rabbits are pregnant. There's no need to make a fuss." The plush ball said calmly.

Lin Ziyu whispered what the plush ball had said to Long Yan, and Long Yan began to pay attention to his surroundings. Suddenly, he sensed a fluctuation of spatial energy behind the stall.

The rabbit vendor was a snake orc. He walked out of his stall, bowed slightly, and saluted Long Yan and Long Ziyu: "Your Highness, Young Master Ziyu."

Long Yan saw his movements, nodded slightly and said, "Well, no need to be polite."

Lin Ziyu hadn't understood why people recognized Long Yan wherever he went, but now he'd gotten used to it. After all, as orcs, they were very sensitive to auras, and the orc society had a very clear hierarchy.

He pointed to the rabbits in the cage and asked with a smile, "How much are these two little gray rabbits?"

The snake orc glanced at Lin Ziyu, then looked at the rabbits in the cage, frowned and said, "Master Ziyu, these two rabbits are too small and their spirits are still weak. You might as well choose two big ones to sell."

Lin Ziyu smiled and said, "I've never seen rabbits this small before. They look so cute. I want two of them."

The snake orc shook his head after hearing this, thinking: Such a small rabbit, if I sell it back, it won't be enough to eat. But he still replied, "One silver coin."

Lin Ziyu took out a silver coin and handed it to the snake orc. After taking the silver coin, the other party took out two gray rabbits from the cage and carefully handed them to Lin Ziyu.

Lin Ziyu took the rabbits and gently stroked their heads. He looked up and said to Long Yan with a smile, "Brother Yan, let's go."

Long Yan smiled and nodded, then walked side by side with Lin Ziyu. After a few steps, he suddenly stopped and glanced back to the right rear of the stall. He saw something moving there, and as they walked away, the spatial psychic energy wave became stronger and stronger.

"Zi Yu, there's a rabbit that can change color following us, be careful." Long Yan said softly.

Lin Ziyu nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. The two continued to walk forward, deliberately walking to a place where there were no people. Then, Lin Ziyu quickly sent the rabbit in his arms into the space.

The rabbit that was following them suddenly realized that the rabbit in Lin Ziyu's arms was missing, and immediately became anxious. It immediately jumped out from its hiding place and launched a powerful space blade attack towards Lin Ziyu.

However, Long Yan was prepared. He instantly dodged and blocked the spatial blade, then activated his own ability. A solid spatial cage quickly formed, tightly trapping the rabbit.
