Chapter 491 He'll Take Her Life Sooner or Later

"It's too dangerous for you to go in alone."

"I'll be careful to hide, you'll meet me outside."

Seeing that Jin Lin had already made his decision, Xi Jing didn't try to persuade him any further.

"Be careful yourself."

Jin Lin nodded, and after agreeing on a meeting place with Xi Jing, he took the dominoes and turned to enter the stone house on the side of the street. When he came out again, he had changed into a brand new animal skin coat, sprinkled powder to conceal his aura, and smeared his body with soot from the bottom of a pot to make it black.

After waiting outside the stone house for a while, Xi Jing saw a tall figure walk out of the house. If he hadn't been extremely familiar with Jin Lin, he wouldn't have recognized the person in front of him as Jin Lin.

Their eyes met briefly in the air before Jin Lin arrived at the palace gates.

The beast soldiers guarding the palace immediately stepped forward and stopped him.

Jin Lin took out the dominoes from his body without changing his expression.

The beastman glanced at the dominoes and let him in without asking any questions.

Compared to the palace in Beast King City, the palace in Tiger Beast City is smaller.

Jin Lin looked at the familiar palace before him as if he had never been in another world.

Instead of rushing to the palace where Jinwei was, he bypassed the palace patrolled by a large number of beast soldiers and came to a very secluded courtyard inside the palace.

He looked around and, after confirming that no one was around, deftly climbed over the stone wall and entered the courtyard where the stone house was located.

The yard was overgrown with weeds, and it looked like no one had been there for a long time.

There are two stone houses inside, which look very dilapidated from their mottled exterior walls.

Jin Lin pushed open the door and went inside with ease. The furnishings inside were very simple, or rather, almost non-existent. The entire stone house was empty, with only a piece of weathered animal hide in the space.

Beyond that, there is nothing.

His gilded eyes swept over the animal hide, a flash of pain crossing the depths of his pupils. In that instant, he felt as if he had returned to those dark and hopeless days.

He felt a dull pain in his chest, and when he raised his hand to cover his chest, his palm touched a small bump.

He frowned slightly and took out the crystal he had kept close to his heart.

On the colorless crystal were several strange symbols. Xixi told him that they were his name, and next to his name was Xixi's name.

Their names were enclosed in a heart-shaped circle.

This was made by Xixi when they first arrived in Beast King City, and she gave it to him when they parted ways.

Jin Lin gripped the crystal tightly, as if holding Qiao Xixi's hand. At that moment, all the pain and unbearable pain that had been suppressed in his heart was dispelled.

He carefully put the crystal away, found a clean spot in the stone house, sat down, leaned against the stone wall, and closed his eyes to rest.

At this moment, the palace where Jinwei was located had its doors tightly shut.

Feng Xuan carried a bowl of green medicine to the bedside and poured it into Jin Wei's tightly closed eyes.

After drinking a bowl of medicine, Jin Wei slowly opened his eyes, but compared to his previous imposing manner, he now looked extremely tired.

He rubbed his temples and looked at Feng Xuan. "What's wrong with me? Didn't you say before that as long as I took your medicine, I could control the dark power in my body? How come I don't remember anything after I drank the medicine?"

Feng Xuan said with a serious expression, "Yesterday's medicine wasn't effective enough, so I increased the dosage today. After taking this medicine, it can help you trap the dark power in your body in one place. I still need some time to study how to better utilize this power."

How much longer are you going to do this?

"Don't worry, Lord City Lord, it will be soon."

"You still haven't told me what I did yesterday?"

Feng Xuan said helplessly, "After the city lord took the medicine yesterday, he went outside the city on his own last night. When we found you, you were in the woods. We don't know what exactly happened."

Jinwei frowned, trying hard to recall, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember anything. "Alright, go and get it done."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Feng Xuan turned and walked out.

Jin Wei spread his hands, his brows slowly furrowing. He felt something was wrong with his body, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

Night falls.

Jin Lin slowly opened his eyes and walked out of the stone house.

He left the courtyard, timing his departure perfectly to avoid all the patrolling beast soldiers within the palace.

Instead of heading towards Jinwei's palace, he bypassed the many palaces and arrived at a magnificent palace next to the royal palace.

Compared to other places, there seem to be more beast soldiers here.

After avoiding the patrolling beast soldiers, Jin Lin nimbly jumped onto the stone wall and flipped over.

As soon as he stood still, he saw a figure walk out of the palace.

"Priest, the city lord requests your immediate presence."

From inside the palace came Feng Xuan's voice, tinged with suppressed pain, "What is it?"

"It seems something happened over at the hollow."

A series of heavy and disordered footsteps echoed from inside the palace. A short while later, Feng Xuan emerged with a dark expression.

"Walk."

Watching Feng Xuan's figure disappear through the palace gate, Jin Lin dodged the beast soldiers in the courtyard and climbed in through the window.

He entered the room where Feng Xuan usually spent the most time. There were rows of wooden shelves for storing herbs, and the shelves were full of herbs.

Jin Lin knew that the banned drugs in Jin Wei's possession were all produced by Feng Xuan, and he was sure he could find some clues here.

Jin Lin quickly searched the room and found a lot of medicine in stone jars in a cabinet in the most hidden place.

There are many kinds of medicine, but their specific effects are unknown.

Jin Lin's pupils contracted sharply when he smelled one of them; it was the same banned drug he had taken years ago!

However, apart from these stone jars, he did not find anything else that might be related.

Just as Jin Lin was about to turn and leave, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the door. If he tried to leave now, the people outside would definitely notice him, so he had no choice but to hide behind the last row of wooden shelves.

Just as he hid, the door was pushed open, and Feng Xuan hurriedly walked in.

As soon as he entered the house, he couldn't wait to flip over one of the stone jars on the shelf, pick it up, and pour it into his mouth.

After taking several large gulps, the pain in his body was slightly relieved, but as the pain subsided, his eyes became even more bloodshot.

At these times, his hatred for Josh reaches its peak!

It's all because she made herself suffer like this; he'll take her life sooner or later!
After the pain subsided, Feng Xuan took a deep breath and stood up, but his movements quickly stopped in mid-air as he scanned the room with his eyes.

He glanced at the spot where he had unearthed the stone jar, sniffed, and smelled an aroma in the air that was completely out of place.

No one dares to enter this room without his order.

But just now, he smelled a different scent.

Feng Xuan's gaze swept across the area, his sharp eyes landing on the last row of shelves.

The only place where people can hide is that row of shelves.
