Bad women are always eyeing me covetously.

The time spent with Huang Quan was indeed very pleasant.

However... Xi Lan inexplicably felt a gaze coming from somewhere, constantly moving back and forth between herself and Huang Quan.

Even that person was still following behind them.

Even she could feel the gaze, let alone Huang Quan, whose combat power seemed to be so much stronger than hers.

"Did you feel it too?"

Suddenly, Xi Lan spoke up.

"Huh?" Huang Quan, whose lips were accidentally covered in cotton candy, seemed not to understand what Xi Lan was saying.

There's a kind of innocent, naive charm in his eyes, as if he hasn't been exposed to knowledge.

For some reason, seeing Huang Quan now gave her a sense of déjà vu.

Like a concerned parent, she took out a tissue from her pocket and carefully wiped the cotton candy off Huang Quan's lips.

His warm lips touched her palm, and they were a little hot.

"Didn't you feel someone following us?" she asked in a low voice, expressing what she had just noticed.

Huang Quan simply blinked, thought for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "I felt it. I noticed it when I was throwing away the trash earlier."

She was a little girl with a single spiral ponytail. Even when Huang Quan focused his gaze on her, the person made a shushing gesture, and then the projection-like figure disappeared in an instant.

Huang Quan naturally didn't take this matter to heart.

After all, it's not surprising at all that something strange could happen here.

"Then, why didn't you say so?"

"The one that was following you before has left, but the one following you now... no, it doesn't sound like the footsteps I've heard before."

Huang Quan frowned slightly: "If you don't like her, I'll go and chase her away, or bring her over to you."

After saying that, Huang Quan put all the trinkets he had won in the game into Xi Lan's arms.

Like a perfectly competent bodyguard, they rolled up their sleeves—no, wait, they walked menacingly toward the person who seemed to have been following them for a long time.

Xi Lan disregarded the game's mechanics and quickly took her steps, closely following Huang Quan's pace.

But in just a moment, the deep purple figure had already disappeared into the vast sea of ​​people.

She didn't care about the guy who was following her.

However, what if Huang Quan fails to catch the person, or even gets lost...?

There shouldn't be any connection, right?

After all, they had exchanged contact information for their devices.

Unable to find anyone, Xi Lan could only stand there holding the dolls, hoping that Huang Quan would find her, even though the chances of that happening were no less than if Xing didn't rummage through the trash can.

Before long, the terminal in Xi Lan's pocket beeped a few times, forcing her to put the dolls on the ground.

Let's see what message Huang Quan sent me.

Peach: I'm sorry.

Peach: I'm lost.

[Peach: Could you please come find me?]

[Peach: crying.jpg]

The other party has sent you their location.

Xi Lan wasn't surprised at all that Huang Quan had gotten lost, and she just laughed helplessly.

At least the other party will care if you send your location, which is quite clever in a way.

For some reason, she felt a sense of relief.

[aaa is on vacation and not working overtime: Okay, you stay where you are, I'll be right there.]

She quickly clutched the plush toys the other person had given her, and hurried over to the address sent by the person on the terminal.

From a great distance, one could see Huang Quan's figure standing under the streetlight. Because of his tall stature, Xi Lan could easily spot him.

In just a few steps, Xi Lan arrived in front of Huang Quan, who seemed to be in a daze, and waved her hand in front of her.

"Sometimes I really wonder if my terrible sense of direction can ever be cured."

Huang Quan finally came to his senses and looked down at Xi Lan as she leaned closer.

"The person we were following was a girl, but we didn't catch her because she noticed we were watching her and left beforehand."

Xi Lan, however, didn't seem to care much.

"It's alright. Since that person is no longer here, there's nothing to worry about."

Huang Quan nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"I see."

"Do we still need to go shopping?" She reached out and naturally took the fluffy and cute dolls from Xi Lan's arms, making Huang Quan's aura seem less cold.

"Hmm... I think I need to go back to reality; I still have some things to do."

I can't just not eat in real life, and I also need to contact Ms. Emerald and the others.

Xi Lan thought for a moment and then gave this reply.

"I wonder if these plush toys can be exchanged for real prizes." She looked at the peach-shaped plush toy in the other person's arms and chuckled softly, "It matches you very well."

"so cute."

Hearing this, Huang Quan had no choice but to lower his head, look at the somewhat abstract peach doll, and purse his lips.

Well, let's just take that as a compliment.

The stalker who had finally escaped Huang Quan's pursuit, who was actually a Star Core Hunter, was hiding behind the wall. After no longer sensing that dangerous aura, Liu Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought she had hidden it quite well.

In the end, those two still found out...

"But...why is Xilan so close to that strange woman?"

Liu Ying frowned slightly, lowered her head, and looked at the photos she had secretly taken, beginning to consider whether to send them to Kafka.

Chapter 180 You're Just Fooling Me (Bounty: 14/21)

As Xi Lan emerged from her dream, she abruptly sat up from the liquid. Looking at her soaked clothes, she began to wonder if everyone woke up like this every time they woke up from a dream.

In any case, it was fortunate that she brought some spare clothes.

I glanced at the clock and realized that the time I spent in this dream had already reached noon the next day.

For Xilan, the time spent during the golden hour felt like only a few hours had passed.

"...That's terrifying."

If you are constantly immersed in a dream, what will your physical body become like in reality?

she does not know.

Following her instincts, Xi Lan took off her wet clothes and changed into spare clothes from her suitcase.

"I don't feel hungry...that's strange."

She rubbed her lower abdomen. If she were anywhere else, she probably wouldn't have been able to endure the hunger.

No matter what, even if she wasn't hungry, she still needed to eat something.

After changing her clothes and grooming herself in front of the mirror, Xi Lan nodded with slight satisfaction.

I wonder if this big hotel has any tail care products.

As Xi Lan stepped out of her room, she saw the Daydream Hotel, which was as lively as ever. After asking a waiter for directions, she finally arrived at a place where she could probably dine.

It's all self-service, and it looks and tastes pretty good.

It was lunchtime, but hardly anyone came to eat.

Apart from Xi Lan, the entire restaurant was either filled with drunk patrons or diners enjoying their time alone in a corner.

Although Xilan is used to eating alone, the atmosphere still feels a bit strange.

I prepared some decent-looking food and found a comfortable corner to enjoy it to my heart's content.

Even if new guests arrive, they have nothing to do with Xi Lan; her desire for food doesn't even make her look up.

She only managed to lift her head when the sound of high heels clicking on the ground grew closer and closer, finally reaching her face.

A strange woman appeared in front of Xi Lan.

She had long, light purple hair and wore strange clothes, looking like a fortune teller. She even held two expensive glasses of wine in her hand, as if she were greeting Xi Lan.

But it gives people a feeling that is hard to fathom.

Hello, darling.

A mature woman's aura wafted over, forcing Xi Lan to brace herself and face this woman.

"Hello?"

As a matter of basic etiquette, Xi Lan wiped her lips with a tissue, put down her knife and fork, and looked at the person who had sat down opposite her without permission.

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
