The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

It took Chi Xun about twenty minutes to find his destination. Just as Chu Zhou had said, it was quite remote, far from the bustling commercial street. Surrounded by low, old buildings, it felt a bit deserted along the way.

Chi quickly found Baiwei Mansion among these buildings. It was easy to find because it was almost the only source of human voices in the area.

The three-story building is exquisite and elegant, with octagonal eaves, light green glazed tiles, and a refreshing color scheme that creates a comfortable atmosphere. A plaque at the entrance depicts two mating snakes. A smiling waiter stands on either side of the open door, serving the line of customers.

It looks normal, as if it is just an ordinary restaurant open for business.

Chi hid his body and observed for a while, and suddenly saw a middle-aged man in rich clothes walking out hurriedly, followed by a lot of people, most of whom were wearing uniform-style clothes and looked anxious.

At first, Chi thought they were some troublesome guests and the staff who came out to persuade them to stay, but he soon found that these people were all standing on the side of the road.

The middle-aged man stood at the front, and the others were neatly lined up behind him. Everyone looked up, as if waiting for something.

After a while, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the end of the deserted road.

The first thing that caught my eye were two horse-like Pegasus, far more noble than ordinary horses, completely snow-white, and with wings on their backs. Because several major cities in the Dawn Empire had clear no-fly orders, the Pegasus' wings could only be folded back on their backs, occasionally flapping gently to create a gust of wind, propelling the carriage to glide smoothly across the ground at an even faster speed.

The third-level mythical beast, the Wind Chasing Horse.

They are not high-level mythical beasts, but it is not easy to tame them and use them as tools for pulling carts. Just these two Pegasus would be sold for thousands of gold coins, which is almost the life savings of an ordinary person.

Behind the Pegasus came the carriages being pulled.

Chi had ridden in the Ernst royal family's carriage with Miaomiao and the others before. It was very grand and luxurious, but compared to the carriage in front of him, he really couldn't tell which one was more gorgeous.

The royal carriage looks reserved and steady, and you can only feel its luxurious atmosphere after entering. However, this carriage will make people feel envious of "damn rich people" at the first sight.

Hundreds and thousands of magic crystals did not play any role in the formation. They were simply inlaid on the carriage made of pure gold as color embellishments. Anyone who came here would sigh at the extravagance and waste.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the waiting crowd, the door opened, and a tall young man wearing a white gauze hat walked down.

He was probably the youngest among the people present, but the moment they saw him, whether it was the middle-aged man in rich clothes or the staff beside him, they all lowered their heads and bowed, "Young Master."

The young man waved his hand, signaling them to leave.

He did not speak a word, and walked straight into the store with the other guards who got off the carriage. The customers who did not have time to enter the store were urgently evacuated to both sides by the waiters, clearing a smooth path for them.

Such a grand ceremony obviously aroused discussion among the guests.

"Who is this? Is he the young master of some noble family?"

"I don't know. Last time I saw the Earl's eldest son coming to dinner, no one came out to greet him."

"Could that be the boss? But he looks too young."

"Who knows..."

……

Chi walked around a few more times, confirming that he didn't find any unpleasant aura or any suspicious people, and then informed Miaomiao through the contract.

When Jiang Liujing heard his words, he was walking towards the school gate with three roommates and Liu An, who met him halfway and insisted on joining their dinner group.

He hummed, then said in his heart, "Chi, you should also pay attention to your own safety."

Chi no longer allowed him to leave the school alone, yet he would often go outside. Being a lone wolf, he wouldn't allow anyone besides Jiang Liujing to follow him. Jiang Liujing had no idea what he was doing when he went out, and he was always worried that he would get hurt.

Chi felt Jiang Liujing's concern, and a trace of warmth passed through his heart, but he did not express it too much. He just replied briefly: "Don't worry, I will be fine."

For the sake of An Miaomiao's heart, he did not go anywhere else and just found a secluded place to stand and wait for others to come.

During this time, he chatted with Jiang Liujing intermittently, mainly the child's chattering. The boy, who was used to silence, just hummed twice and said a few words occasionally, but he listened carefully to every word Jiang Liujing said, whether it was useful or not.

He felt somewhat helpless as he was obviously with Miaomiao most of the time, so how could Miaomiao hear so much gossip about other people?

When the few of them met near Baiwei Mansion, it was already getting dark.

The dusk was shy, hiding half of the cloud shadows in the gray-blue sky. The golden-red setting sun was close to the city's towers, falling inch by inch like a cut heart.

As soon as Jiang Liujing arrived, he looked at the small building and exclaimed "Wow", then pulled Chi excitedly towards the door.

He hadn't had many good meals since leaving the Lost Forest. When he saw the desolate buildings around him, he wondered what kind of desolate place he was in. He suspected that Wen Xun and Chu Zhou were going to take them to a wild game buffet, but he didn't expect the real Baiweixuan to be so different from the surrounding ones.

Mo Ya hissed and whispered to Liu An, with whom he had become completely familiar in less than half an hour: "I feel like the prices in this store are not cheap."

Liu An also whispered to him: "Who did you let choose the store?"

Mo Ya simply pointed at Wen Xun on the other side.

Liu An sympathetically said, "It's obvious he's a rich man. How dare you let him choose?"

Mo Ya held his heart in his hands helplessly: "There's nothing we can do. We all live in the same dormitory with people from other countries. We're all unfamiliar with the place. He's the only one who knows a little bit."

Liu An patted his chest and said, "You can come find me next time. I'm very familiar with the Dawn Empire."

Mo Ya immediately said, "Okay, okay, I like friends like you."

Wen Xun listened to their conversation from the side and said speechlessly: "Eat your food, it's my treat today."

The two of them changed their expressions instantly, and smiled flatteringly in unison: "Thank you, boss, you are so generous."

Wen Xun: “…”

Why do I feel like I've been tricked?

He made a "tsk" sound, narrowed his eyes slightly, revealed a somewhat unhappy expression, and strode forward.

Chu Zhou commented sharply from behind him: "Growing in age is not as good as growing in brains."

He gets carried away when provoked. No matter how strong he is, with such a stupid brain, he can only work for others.
