Chapter 140 Dad is not good enough, he wants to take mom back
Sang Luo said goodbye to the housekeeper and passed by the dining room. He remembered that the candied fruit he made last time was delicious, so he went over and asked them to make another plate.

There was a tremor among the flowers in front of the house.

After the last assassination attempt, Sang Luo was paranoid and thought that another monster had sneaked in. He almost attacked it, but he saw a small black snake as thick as a little finger emerging from the bushes.

Sang Luo was stunned for a moment, surprised and happy, "Xiao Qi?"

Isn’t this the little black snake that she and Si Ye encountered at the morning market that day?
Sang Luo hurried over and checked again and again, and he was not mistaken, "How did you sneak into the Marquis' Mansion?"

Mother, I finally found you again! Xiao Qi's silver eyes were tearful. He opened his mouth to speak, but when he saw the servants coming and going, he remembered his father's advice that he was a natural king beast with a special status and could not speak in front of outsiders, as it would be coveted by those with ulterior motives. He had no choice but to quickly close his mouth, flicked his thin little tail, and swam towards her.

Sang Luo took Xiao Qi into his palm, brushed off the dirt and fallen leaves on its body, took two steps forward, and saw a vegetable basket lying on the ground with all the leaves inside scattered out. He then looked at the guilty little snake and immediately understood what was going on.

This little snake was so small that it was difficult to be noticed. It must have sneaked into the vegetable basket on the road when no one was paying attention, and was brought back by the servants who went out to buy.

"Where's your father?" Sang Luo used his spiritual power to search outside the mansion, but he didn't see the man in white. "You sneaked out again?"

The little snake nodded.

Sang Luo sighed. Why did this little snake always like to run towards her?

She took the little snake and went to find the housekeeper again, "Mr. Yu, this little snake is called Xiaoqi, and it has been separated from its father and mother again. Please bring people to help it find its parents."

Old Yu didn't notice the word "again" in Sang Luo's mouth, thinking it was a little snake that accidentally ran into the mansion, and reached out to take it, "Madam, don't worry, I will take people to look for it right away!"

Just as his hand was about to touch the little snake, it suddenly arched its body, bared its fangs, and took an attacking stance.

Old Yu was shocked. He was a seventh-level orc after all, but his face turned pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He had the urge to kneel down.

Sang Luo was afraid that the little snake would bite someone, so he quickly took it back. He did not notice the sudden change in the old housekeeper's expression, and said in a low voice, "Little Qi, be good. Don't worry. Old Yu is not a bad person. I'll ask him to help you find your father."

I don’t want a father, I only want a mother! When the little snake faced her, it changed into its obedient appearance, but as soon as Sang Luo wanted to hand it over to someone else, it immediately turned into an offensive posture, extremely resistant to contact from outsiders.

Sang Luo had no choice but to ask the old housekeeper to post a notice in the city.

"If anyone comes to claim it, please be sure to notify me first."

"Don't worry, ma'am."

"Your father will definitely come looking for you when he finds out you're missing again. You just rest in the house for a while." Sang Luo nodded its little head. The man was also very distressed as a father because his child always ran away. If it were her, she would have a headache.

Sang Luo brought Xiao Qi back to her room. She had not lived with Si Ye for the past few days, so she asked someone to clean up another room. Xiao Qi sniffed the bedding filled with the scent of her mother, and curled up peacefully, looking very obedient.

Sang Luo went to the canteen again.

When I came back, I found that the little snake was gone.

She was anxious and searched the entire room but couldn't find it. She searched with her mental power and saw the little snake outside the house.

A strange orc saw the lone little snake and walked towards it with a few strips of meat in his hand.

Don’t encounter human traffickers!

Sang Luo didn't have time to think and hurriedly chased after him.

When he arrived outside the mansion, he was too late. The orcs and the little snakes had already left.

Sang Luo used her mental power to search again and found that the two had gone to the city gate. She chased them all the way out of the city.

The orc disappeared, but the little snake was still there. It seemed to have no awareness of danger at all and swam quickly to the deep forest outside the city.

There were many dangerous star beasts living outside the city. If it was accidentally eaten by a star beast... Sang Luo didn't even dare to think about it. She chased the little snake for more than ten miles and finally found it again. She had just caught it in her hand and had no time to teach it a lesson when the dangerous atmosphere quietly descended.

Several king-level star beasts leaped out of the forest and surrounded them.

Sang Luo's face darkened, but before he could make a move, the star beasts seemed to have seen something terrifying, and they turned around and ran away with their tails between their legs.

Sang Luo: "..." Is she so strong?
During that moment of distraction, the little snake swam down from her hand again and teleported a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye.

Sang Luo had no choice but to hurry up and follow.

At this time, they were already 20 to 30 miles away from Fengwu Imperial City, out of the protection range of the city patrol team. Going further ahead, they would reach an uninhabited dense forest, where a large number of dangerous star beasts lived, and there might even be dangerous demonized monsters.

Sang Luo used his mental power to sense the evil spirit.

There must be monsters nearby, and they are of a fairly high level.

She stopped and said, "Xiao Qi, you can't go any further. Come back quickly. It's very dangerous there."

The little snake stopped and looked back at her, wanting her to follow.

Sang Luo frowned and hesitated. This little snake looked clever and quirky, and it didn't seem like it was seeking death out of ignorance. All along the way... it seemed to be guiding her.

Sang Luo thought of a possibility and widened his eyes, "Your father! Could he have been captured by a monster?!"

No one in this world can take Dad away, but Dad does hang out with those stinky guys all day long. I don’t know what he is busy with, and he never brings it to see Mom.

Dad is useless, so it takes mom back.

The little snake shook its head and nodded, anxiously biting the corner of Sang Luo's skirt and dragging herself forward.

Looking at it like this, it was possible that I had guessed it right. Sang Luo was a little hesitant for a moment.

If it were anyone else, she would definitely not be willing to take the risk, but this little snake... she had an inexplicable feeling and was unwilling to leave it alone.

Now that she is at the True King level, she rarely has an opponent. If she really encounters a monster above the True King level, she can also use her soul mark to shake it off. So there is no need to worry about her life.

“Okay, take me over there to rescue people, but come here first and don’t be too far away from me.”

She squatted down and stretched out her hand. The little snake quickly crawled onto her wrist and wrapped around it tightly, as if it was afraid that she would disappear in the next second.

"You little snake are quite clingy." Sang Luo teased it and walked forward.

A skinny eagle-beast man took cover from an ancient tree and had the innate ability to conceal himself, thus avoiding mental searches.

He saw the female with no one protecting her, a strange smile flashed across his face, and his figure teleported away, appearing in another place outside the city.

Reporting to the tall man in dark blue clothes,
"Master, that female sneaked out of the city, and Si Ye didn't follow her. This is a good opportunity for us to take action!"

They had planned several assassinations before, but all failed. They didn't expect that this female would fall into the trap. If they didn't take action now, when would they?
