Clearly, Yunxi and Xixi were thinking the same thing. In his explanation, he even pulled open Junsong's collar to reveal his smooth neck, repeatedly stating that his wife had no connection with Junsong.

Junsong was very considerate and directly stated that he was a hired worker from Xixi and that the two had no other relationship.

However, their explanations did not deter the guards. Instead, the guards looked bewildered and pushed them away, saying, "We are here on the orders of the young city lord to invite the noble lady of Xixi for tea. Please refrain from making irresponsible remarks!"

Seeing that his explanation was ineffective, Yunxi had no choice but to change his story and say that his wife was not there. To his surprise, the other party replied, "It's alright, we'll wait here."

They also stated, "Please rest assured, we have also sent people to your residences, and we are confident that we can invite the noble lady from Xixi!"

Well, Xixi, who was just about to sneak home, rolled her eyes when she heard this. She thought to herself, "Do they have to be so ruthless? This is like not even letting me go home!"

Yunxi had already gestured to Xixi, signaling the other party to leave quickly.

Forced by circumstances, on the third day after entering Yunyao City, Xixi once again fled in a sorry state.

However, this time, they didn't cause much of a commotion. She and Yin You hid quietly in the crowd.

After going around in circles, the two of them ended up at the city gate again.

As the day of the Holy Maiden selection draws near, more and more teams are pouring into Yunyao City, and the number of guards stationed at the city gates has naturally increased as well. At a rough glance, it is five times that of three days ago!

One person, one card; only after verification can one be allowed to pass.

The key point is that not only is entry strictly controlled, but even leaving is also strictly controlled!

Not only that, but the original single revealing stone has now been replaced by four, one inside and one outside, on the left and right, like a demon-revealing mirror, clearly reflecting the entire city gate.

"Yinyou, in your opinion, can your illusion magic deceive all four revealing stones at the same time?" Xixi's heart couldn't help but pound with apprehension.

Yin You remained silent, seemingly pondering the question. After a moment, his fingers trembled slightly, as if something had been flicked out, but nothing could be seen with the naked eye.

"What is that?" Suddenly, the guard at the door shouted, and dozens of swords and knives were drawn in a flash, and everyone immediately went on high alert.

The two groups of people entering the city immediately covered their heads and squatted down, fearing they would get into trouble.

Suddenly, a clear female voice rang out, "It's a stone!"

Following the direction of the other person's finger, the guard cautiously flicked the stone twice with his sword to confirm that it was indeed an ordinary little stone, and only then did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Everyone be alert! The millennium selection is about to begin, and all forces are watching closely. We absolutely cannot afford any mistakes at this time!"

Even so, the guard did not let the stone go. He picked it up, wrapped it in animal hide, put it in his pocket, gave a few instructions to his men and women, and went straight upstairs. Judging from his posture, he should have gone to report to the young city lord or Elder Qian.

She's so careful with even a pebble, let alone two living people like her and Yin You!

As expected, a faint, dejected voice rang out, "We can't get through. There are no blind spots between the four revealing stones, so we can't hide using the changes in light and shadow."

So, that's why the pebble was exposed!

Xixi looked up to the sky and sighed. This wasn't about defending against various forces; it was clearly aimed at her!

If she weren't certain that Yin You's abilities hadn't been exposed, she probably would have had serious doubts.

In his frustration and irritability, he looked up and saw the female who had just spoken standing up. With her round and full face, her elegant and luxurious clothes, her long caravan, and her overflowing supplies, who else could it be but the little rich woman Tun Tun?

If Han Sui and Yuanwei are the people Xixi hates the most, and Yunxi and Xida are the source of her guilt and heartache, then failing to save Tuntun is her deepest regret.

Throughout the journey, she kept a close eye on things, but still couldn't find a trace of Tun Tun and her group.

As time went by, the glimmer of hope in her heart gradually faded away. She thought that she might have already died in the mouths of those demonic beasts, or died because of the greed of Han Sui and the others!

Just thinking about it made her heart feel heavy.

Seeing Tun Tun again is undoubtedly a joyful thing, especially seeing that she is still plump and round, and still full of vitality!

For a moment, she forgot all about being chased and excitedly ran towards Tun Tun, calling out loudly as she ran, "Tun Tun!"

Seeing Xixi, Tuntun's eyes were filled with disbelief. She clearly saw her fall from the tree, clearly saw the monster open its blood-red maw at her, clearly heard her beast husband's grief-stricken and desperate roar, and saw him fight back with his life on the line...

Aside from closing her eyes out of pity and not actually seeing her being swallowed, she was, in a sense, a witness to the entire tragedy!

It was because of this incident that, after narrowly defeating the monster horde, she led her people to part ways with the clownfish orcs, and they had no further connection with them since.

But now, the little hamster that should have been devoured by the monster was standing perfectly fine in front of her. She rubbed her eyes in disbelief, wondering if it was just her imagination. But when she opened her eyes again, Xixi was already running in front of her, greeting her warmly.

"Xi...Xixi?" His mouth trembled as if out of control, but he couldn't make a sound. After a long while, he managed to utter two words with difficulty.

"Tuntun!" Compared to Tuntun's shock, Xixi was filled with joy. "It's so good that you're still alive. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'd never be able to repay all the meals I owe you!"

On the way to Yunyao City, Tun Tun placed an order with Xixi, and Xixi was responsible for all the meals along the way.

Upon hearing Xixi mention it, Tun Tun finally came to her senses. The person in front of her really was Xixi. She really wasn't dead!

She jumped up excitedly, her chubby hands clasped together, then clasped together, then clapped her hands, and finally gripped Xixi's shoulder tightly. "That's great! I knew it! Evil people live a thousand years. How could a cunning merchant like you die so easily?"

Xi Xi: "..." Her feelings were genuine, but why did those words sound so awkward? A shrewd businesswoman? Was she shrewd?

Before Xixi could react, Tuntun continued, "Let me tell you, ever since I ate at your house, I haven't been able to appreciate my husband's cooking. Do you know how I've been on this journey? I've been thinking about you every single meal! Now that I've finally caught you, you're not allowed to run away this time!"

"Okay, I'll take care of it!" I suspect you're not missing me, you're eyeing my Yunxi's cooking skills!

"You must be starving after such a long journey! Come on, let's go to my place for a meal!" Taking Tun Tun's hand, Xi Xi prepared to walk back.

However, after taking only two steps, Xixi suddenly stopped!
