Chapter 519 Xixi, you lied to me
Just as its claws were about to touch Qiao Xixi, Qiao Xixi made a hand seal, and a strong wind swept over, repelling the Kunlin.

As the distance between Kunlin and her increased, Qiao Xixi used the wind to carry her quickly towards the mountains and forests.

As Qiao Xixi's figure was about to disappear into the mountains and forests, Kunlin was so angry that the dark red halo in his eyes was almost overflowing.

"XiXi, you're lying to me!"

Josie was carried by the wind into the mountains and forests, but she did not stop. Instead, she continued towards the direction of Tiger Beast City.

Soon, she could see the gates of Tiger Beast City.

Orcs stood guard outside the city gate. She took out a powder to conceal her aura and sprinkled it on herself. Then she landed and quickly walked to the city gate.

As soon as she got close, the guards of Tiger Beast City stopped her.

Qiao Xixi raised her head, her face full of pitiful and aggrieved tenderness.

"I am a female from a small tribe. Our tribe was attacked by mutated beasts, and I escaped and ended up here. I hope Tiger Beast City can accept me."

As she spoke, she took out a sufficient number of crystals from her person and presented them to the guard with both hands.

She was already beautiful, and looked delicate and frail, which inevitably aroused the guards' pity. In addition, she was a lone female, so neither the beast city nor the tribe would refuse her joining.

"You come with me."

Josie's eyes lit up, and she smiled gratefully. "Can I stay? That's great, thank you."

The guard was stunned when he saw her smile, staring at her in a daze.

"Now, should I mark him?" Qiao Xixi gently reminded him when he didn't react.

The guard snapped out of his daze, scratching his head somewhat sheepishly. "Yes, you can just come over here and make a mark."

After saying that, the guard led her toward the city gate. The moment she stepped through the gate, Qiao Xixi glanced sideways at the black figure hidden in the nearby forest.

The guards led her into a stone house.

After the guard explained his purpose, the male sitting in the room glanced at Qiao Xixi from head to toe, especially taking a few extra looks when he saw her long hair.

Have you ever given birth to a baby?

Josh nodded. "But I haven't seen them since I escaped."

The male elk nodded upon hearing this. He asked the question simply to find out if Qiao Xixi was fertile, as the Beast City would not support a female who could not reproduce without a reason.

“Don’t be afraid, Tiger Beast City is safe.” After saying that, the male elk stood up, took some red powder from a leather bag, and smeared it on Josie’s forehead.

This is proof that Tiger Beast City has accepted orcs; this red powder is also the unique scent of the orcs in the city.

They can usually tell whether someone is one of their own by this smell.

However, the smell will disappear after a while, and many orcs will reapply it to maintain their identity.

After marking the spot, the guard led Josh to a stone house in the city that wasn't crowded.

"You can stay here for now. You can get your daily food from the stone house we just passed. Of course, if you have your own crystals, you can also trade with other people."

Qiao Xixi nodded upon hearing this, "Okay, I understand, thank you."

Before leaving, the guard couldn't help but glance at her a few more times, and only turned away reluctantly after Qiao Xixi went inside and closed the door.

Qiao Xixi noticed the guards' gazes towards her. In this world, females easily attract unpaired males, so it wasn't strange that a male would notice her, a female who appeared to be without a master. The stone house where she was settled seemed quite nice; at least it had a table, chairs, and a bed. She had all the other living supplies in her spatial storage, so it was a good place to stay for the time being.

However, this place must have been uninhabited for a long time, as it's quite dusty inside.

Qiao Xixi went to fetch a wooden bucket from outside the stone house, went to a nearby place to get water, and came back to do a simple cleaning. After cleaning, she returned to the stone house and closed the door.

Qiao Xixi took out some spiritual spring water and some dried meat and fruit from her space to fill her stomach. While eating, she also checked the location of Jin Lin and tide Jing.

She was puzzled when she discovered that the two were located in the mountains behind Tiger Beast City.

She remembered that their location had been in the city before, so how come they're outside the city now?

But they're not too far away, so she'll definitely go find them.

Thinking of this, Qiao Xixi's thoughts returned to the space.

Before obtaining the formula for the banned drug, Qiao Xixi did not want Kunlin to find her.

She originally planned to follow Kunlin and extract some useful information from him, but since they were passing through Tiger Beast City, she thought it would be better to come directly and resolve the issue of the forbidden drug formula and the purification of the stolen dark power.

As for Kunlin, he certainly wouldn't let her get away with it now that she'd escaped. She was certain he would find a way to enter Tiger Beast City and capture her.

So she didn't want him to catch her before she finished what she was doing.

Qiao Xixi opened the door with the powder and sprinkled it around the stone house. The orcs had a very keen sense of smell. Kunlin couldn't possibly search every stone house for her, so he would definitely use his sense of smell to identify similar scents.

Now that she has completely concealed her presence, it will be even more difficult for him to find her.

After doing all this, Qiao Xixi did not immediately return to the stone house, but instead went to the main street of Tiger Beast City.

Tiger Beast City was quite large. After asking a few passersby, she arrived at the road leading to the royal city.

There were many orcs setting up stalls on both sides of the road, waiting to exchange goods. Qiao Xixi walked slowly, and would go up and exchange crystals for anything that she might need.

The street where goods were exchanged wasn't very long, and Qiao Xixi soon reached the end.

She turned onto a relatively narrow road, and after walking a long, winding road, she looked up and saw the royal city standing not far away.

Jinwei and the others lived there.

However, Qiao Xixi was stopped by patrolling beast soldiers not long after she started walking.

"Who are you, and what are you doing here?"

Even the female beast soldiers looked at Josie with wary eyes.

Qiao Xixi pretended to be startled and took a step back, saying innocently, "I am a female who just migrated to Tiger Beast City. I was wandering around the streets just now and somehow ended up here. Is this a place I can't come to?"

The beastman glanced at what she was carrying but didn't doubt her words too much.

“Recently, a ferocious beast has attempted to invade the royal city. We are currently searching for the escaped beast. It is too dangerous for you, a female, to be out alone. You should go back quickly.”

Qiao Xixi quickly processed the information in their words.

"What kind of beast is it? I think I just saw someone sneaking off that way?"

Upon hearing this, the beastman's expression changed slightly, and he asked urgently, "Which way? Are they merfolk?"
