Pampered Beasts: Beautiful Actress, Many Children, Many Blessings

"The material is very sticky. I only touched it slightly, and it immediately felt like it was drilling into my flesh. I suspect that once I put on this mask, I might never be able to take it off!"

"This is the Herring Veil, also known as the Poison Mask. Wearing it can transform you into anyone's appearance, but the price is that once you wear it, you only have seven days to live. After seven days, you will bleed from all seven orifices and die!"

The last sentence, spoken by the young city lord, was the final word!

Looking at the remnants of the mask on the ground, Xixi didn't know whether to laugh or be angry. If you call her stupid, how could she come up with such a plan that kills two birds with one stone? Whether it was to trick Han Sui out of Yunyao City or to trick them into wearing masks, her intentions were undeniably malicious!

You could call her ruthless, but both her acting and her mask were incredibly clumsy, showing a complete disregard for their intelligence!

Leaving aside her acting skills, she patiently played along with her the whole time. But take this mask for example. The five men present immediately tore it apart and discovered the problem with it. Who was this thing supposed to fool? Who could it possibly fool?

Of course, it can't be said that Iris was not attentive; if she wasn't, Han Sui and his entire group wouldn't have been able to leave the city.

All I can say is that both Xixi and the beastmen are far more skilled than Iris, so they're really not falling for it!

"My lady, what are your plans?" Sikong Hongyu asked his wife. Just now, his wife did not directly refuse the other party, but instead named a few of them to leave with the other party, so she must have a plan.

“She wants to kill two birds with one stone, and I also want to kill two birds with one stone, no, I want to kill three birds with one stone!” Xixi pointed to the net bag that Kunhai was holding in his hand. “Take her with you and follow Iris’s group out of the city… attract the monster horde. I don’t care how many people can escape back in the end, I only have one request: none of the females who go out should come back!”

If they make it too clean, it will be difficult for Sikong Hongyu and the others to come back. It would be better to leave some males behind and make it look like they escaped in a disheveled state.

Once Iris and Han Sui are dead, these things will naturally be unknown to everyone. As for Bai Qianqian, she can only blame her bad luck; she was caught eavesdropping and ran into a gun.

After arranging these things, Xixi looked at the young city lord and said, "The imaging stones at the city gate are too much of an eyesore. Let's remove them!"

The young city lord looked bewildered. Didn't he say he would wreak havoc everywhere after he went out? Why is he suddenly talking about the revealing stone?

Although puzzled, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and leave now."

The reason for leaving the young city lord behind is twofold. Although Iris doesn't recognize him, many people in the city do, including her beastmen. It would be too conspicuous for him to follow her around.

On the other hand, and most importantly, whether it's removing the revealing stone to make way for the hidden place, or solving the murder scene where three people died, only the young city lord can handle it.

Because Sikong Hongyu was doing something dangerous, Xida was left behind to stay with Xixi.

However, it was not appropriate for only one female and one young to live alone. So, after consulting Xixi, the young city lord used an extremely luxurious flower carriage to formally bring Xixi to the city lord's mansion, making her the rightful master of the city lord's mansion!

In an instant, the rumors became reality. Seeing the clearly visible beast mark on the young city lord's neck, everyone knew that the young city lord had finally become the city lord, and he had finally welcomed his city lord's wife!

Corresponding to the bustling area surrounding the city lord's mansion is an equally lively arena.

After being locked down for three days, the area outside the arena was plastered with missing person notices and crowded with onlookers.

Some people found that they couldn't get away with it at the arena, so they went to the city lord's mansion and asked the city lord to uphold justice for them.

However, City Lord Kunhai has been extremely busy these days. He originally thought that only three ordinary males had died, but he did not expect that they were all from the Central Continent, and one of them was even the grandson of the Electric Sea Priest. The involvement is so deep that if it is not handled properly, it may lead to a bloodbath, and the thousand-year foundation of Yunyao City will be on the verge of collapse!

To ensure everything went perfectly, he was present throughout the entire process, from on-site investigation and case reasoning to obtaining testimonies from surrounding witnesses. At crucial moments, he guided the progress of the case and successfully nipped any doubts that might lead to the conclusion that the brothers were involved.

Of course, he told the public that the case was complicated and involved a wide range of people, so he was personally handling it, which inadvertently earned him a lot of goodwill.

At this moment, he finally heard about the gladiatorial arena, along with the idle chatter of several guards.

"Do you think there might be some kind of connection between these two events that happened at the same time?"

"That's possible. Judging from the degree of decomposition of the body in the murder case, the time of death was three days ago, and the arena was also closed three days ago. The timeline is completely synchronized! It's just that the arena has always been mysterious, and no one has ever seen that Master Bai's true face. We don't know what he's up to!"

"Do you think it's possible that the murderer who killed the three is hiding in the arena?"

"Why not be even bolder? Perhaps the murderer who killed those three is none other than Master Bai himself. After all, the gladiatorial arena is deeply connected with the Central Continent. Many of the gladiatorial arena's slaves were sent from the Central Continent. It's only natural that he would kill a few people for them now!"

"According to the rules of the arena, even if someone is to be killed, they should first be enslaved and then forced to fight to the death. How come they are breaking into a house to kill someone now?"

"That makes sense!" Suddenly, the city lord appeared and joined the guards' discussion.

Neither Junsong's assassination nor the elder brother's disguise was thorough enough, and there were omissions in the details. Although he was able to guide the crowd slightly, he could not prevent everyone from discovering that there were traces of forgery at the crime scene.

However, the eldest brother's disguise was still effective. At least no one could confirm whether the lightning damage on the three victims was caused by themselves or by a fourth person involved in the murder.

And this is the most crucial point!

Upon hearing the city lord's voice, the guards trembled in fright and turned around to bow respectfully. "Your Lordship, why...why do you walk so quietly!"

Oh no! Do you think they're slacking off? Honestly, they were just discussing the case!

Kunhai waved his hand, not putting on airs as the city lord. Instead, he invited the group to sit down and praised them, "Not bad, everyone's analysis is very reasonable, clear and logical. You are indeed worthy of being the guards of my Yunyao City!"

After being praised by the city lord, these people couldn't help but feel a little smug, and their hands, which had been somewhat restrained just now, immediately relaxed.

“That’s right, the timing of these two events is too coincidental, too coincidental to be true, which makes us brothers have to make this connection!” One of the guards said, counting on his fingers. “Also, we have confirmed that there must have been a fourth person at the crime scene, which means we can rule out the possibility of the three killing each other. So what kind of psychopath could arrange people like this… like this?”
