Su Yuanyuan's expression was very unpleasant, and she couldn't help but curse under her breath again. Edward awkwardly touched his nose.

"My name is Su Yuanyuan. You said you live nearby, could you take me out?"

While speaking, she immediately used Occlumency, hoping to prevent mind reading; this ability was disgusting.

"I can't hear you? What did you do?"

Just after she used Occlumency, Edward suddenly became excited, unable to believe that anyone could evade his abilities.

Su Yuanyuan rolled her eyes. How could she possibly tell him, "Can you take me out of here!"

"Oh, okay, but your flying carpet is too slow. It takes a long time to fly out. Do you want me to carry you?"

Seeing her impatient expression, Edward stopped asking and frowned as he looked at the flying carpet.

Su Yuanyuan was also afraid that the werewolf would come after her, so she nodded and put the flying carpet away.

As soon as Su Yuanyuan touched Edward's skin, she sensed something was wrong. His body was cold and unusually hard, not like someone with muscles all over his body, but rather like a stone.

"You say you can read minds, so what race are you?"

Thinking of the werewolf she had just encountered, she realized that there must be many magical races in this world, so she asked Edward.

"Um…"

Edward hesitated for a long time without saying a word, and Su Yuanyuan could tell that he had some concerns.

"If it's inconvenient for you to say, you don't have to. I was just asking casually."

"Thank you!"

It has to be said that Edward is really fast. In just a few words, Su Yuanyuan saw the town. They stopped at the edge of the forest, and Su Yuanyuan jumped off Edward's back.

"Thank you, I'll be going now, see you next time."

Su Yuanyuan felt that since she was out, the most important thing was to find a place to stay first, and then try to summon Sebastian. Other things could be dealt with later.

She walked into the town alone and saw many Native American totems along the way.

Adhering to the principle of seeking help from the police when in trouble, Su Yuanyuan went directly to the police station, where only two police officers were on duty.

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

Su Yuanyuan didn't know much about foreign police officers, nor did she know who the person who spoke to her was, but judging from the respect others showed him, he must be a veteran police officer.

"Hello, I'm here on vacation and would like to rent a house for an extended period, but I don't know where to look?"

The policeman glanced at her a few times and asked her suspiciously.

Are you an adult?

Su Yuanyuan reached into her pocket, conjured up an ID card, and handed it to him. She was indeed not yet an adult, but magic was a good thing.

"Oh! Sorry, you look really young. I'm Charlie Swann."

Charlie returned her ID card apologetically, led her inside, poured her a glass of water, and then sat down himself.

"Hello Officer Charlie, my name is Su Yuanyuan. I really didn't know who else to talk to, so I came to bother you."

Su Yuanyuan smiled and took the water glass, then briefly told him the story she had made up.

Cha thought for a moment, "I do know a house, but it's a bit big. Since you're just vacationing here, it might be a bit expensive."

"It doesn't matter if it's a bit expensive, as long as the house is clean." Su Yuanyuan immediately nodded in agreement. She didn't want to go through any trouble, and she didn't know how long she would be staying.

“Alright, then come with me. I’ll take you to Mrs. Gerry; she has the key to the house.”

Charlie immediately wanted to take her to see the house, and Su Yuanyuan smiled and did not object.

Charlie is clearly a warm-hearted and efficient person; dealing with someone like that is always a pleasant experience.

Su Yuanyuan arrived at Mrs. Gerry's house quickly in Charlie's car. Mrs. Gerry was an old lady with gray hair.

Charlie warmly invited him in for tea, but Charlie politely declined. They took the keys and went to a two-story building not far away.

The small building was kept very clean inside and out, and there was a fruit tree planted in the back, but it was now bare, and Su Yuanyuan didn't know what kind of tree it was.

"This family moved to the city, and Mrs. Gerry has always had the key. Few people come to this area, so the house has been empty. Mrs. Gerry comes over to clean it from time to time."

Charlie followed behind her, chattering on and on about the house. Su Yuanyuan listened quietly, and after a casual look around, she was quite satisfied.

"Thank you, Officer Charlie. I really like it here. How should I pay the rent from now on?"

"Just give it to Mrs. Gerry. Since it's settled, here's the key. You can discuss the rest with Mrs. Gerry."

Su Yuanyuan nodded and took the keys from his hand. She watched him drive away before going to find Mrs. Gerry.

Mrs. Gerry was a straightforward person, and she quickly signed the agreement with Su Yuanyuan, who paid a year's rent in one lump sum.

She moved in that very day, and the first thing she did was summon Sebastian.

The summoning circle lit up briefly, but nothing appeared. Su Yuanyuan thought it must be because the energy system was different, or that this world didn't allow it.

Since they couldn't summon Su Yuanyuan, they gave up. It seemed they would have to rely on themselves for everything again.

The house was clean and didn't need tidying up, so Su Yuanyuan planned to go and buy some necessities.

She had observed everything while sitting in Charlie's car; there was a market-like area in town, as well as supermarkets and fast-food restaurants.

Although the town is small, it has all the necessary facilities. Since Su Yuanyuan doesn't have a car, she can only use her Phantom to appear in an empty alley.

As soon as she came out of the alley, she ran into a girl with short black hair, and Su Yuanyuan couldn't help but gasp.

"I'm sorry, did I hurt you?"

She quickly apologized to Su Yuanyuan, her expression somewhat panicked, her eyes scanning Su Yuanyuan up and down, trying to see if she was injured anywhere.

Su Yuanyuan grimaced and rubbed her shoulder, shaking her head at the girl, "It's okay, I'll be fine in a bit."

"I'm glad you're alright. I haven't seen you before. Are you here for tourism?"

She struck up a conversation with Su Yuanyuan in a very familiar manner, leaving Su Yuanyuan completely bewildered. Are all foreigners like this? She had never encountered anyone like this before.

"Uh! I'm here on vacation and plan to stay for a while."

“That’s great. Can I come out? I’m Alice Cullen, you can just call me Alice.”

Looking at Alice's excited expression, Su Yuanyuan had a bad feeling.

Moreover, she and Edward looked so alike, not just in appearance, but in their pale complexions and cold, stiff bodies.

This situation reminded her of a not-so-good magical creature; hopefully, she was just overthinking it.

“Sure, my name is Su Yuanyuan. The apartment I rented is the one that Mrs. Gerry is looking after. You can come to see me anytime.”

Are you going shopping now? I'll go with you!

Su Yuanyuan looked at the tall figure behind her, "Don't you have anything else to say?"

Alice glanced back and replied with a smile, "Oh! This is Jasper Hale, my boyfriend. He'll be with us."
