Chapter 763: When The Prey Became The Predator
Bai Xifeng began her journey to Tianlong School. She did not want to go to school. However, because one of the ingredients that she needed to concoct for her next elixir had been rumoured to be at Tianlong School, she did not have any choice but enrolled into the school.
This time, she did not wear the male clothes. She just wore female clothes. That got the attention of many lewd men as soon as they saw Bai Xifeng’s face. They thought Bai Xifeng was a weak female whom was first time travelling. So, they wanted to trick Bai Xifeng.
The first incident happened when Bai Xifeng was just leaving Xianying City. Bai Xifeng saw a group of people travelling together. They even had women and children. They introduced themselves to Bai Xifeng, telling Bai Xifeng that they were from a merchant group. Bai Xifeng saw the children laughing and running away, playing with each other. That was why Bai Xifeng did not suspect anything at all.
They invited Bai Xifeng to join their group to travel together. They felt pity because when they saw Bai Xifeng without a carriage or horse. So, they thought Bai Xifeng was travelling on walking.
Bai Xifeng did not want to walk, but Baishe told her to exercise more to improve her body’s strength. It was not her choice. She was rather lying on her contracted beast’s back while they were moving. Bai Xifeng agreed to join them.
When dinner came, Bai Xifeng could see that the women worked together to prepare the meal. The men sat down while waiting for their food to be served. Bai Xifeng just watched them.
She noticed something. When one of the women served the men their food, the woman seemed to be shaking. After that, she walked faster as someone chased after her. She looked at another woman who sat between two men. She also seemed to be shaking.
Bai Xifeng realised that this was not a normal group of merchants. She needed to escape, but she was not rushing. A woman gave a cup of wine to Bai Xifeng. Her hand was shaking when she handed over the cups to Bai Xifeng.
Bai Xifeng just smiled at the woman and thanked her. When Bai Xifeng brought the cup to her mouth, her nose picked up something. The water inside the cup had been drugged. She could detect that. If she missed that, Baishe might scold her.
They probably wanted to drug her and take her innocence. After that, they could sell her at the highest price since she was so beautiful. A lot of people might want to get a taste of her.
Bai Xifeng could see from her corner eyes that the men were watching her eagerly. So, they were waiting for her to drink the water. Well, she would fulfil their wishes. She drank the water. The men nodded and smiled.
The dinner continued as normal. They were talking and laughing like they were a big happy families. The ones who laughed were the men. The women just smiled awkwardly.
As the time passed, Bai Xifeng noticed more and more eyes on her. Maybe it was time for Bai Xifeng to begin her performance.
Bai Xifeng immediately showed her movement, showing that she was uncomfortable. The leader of the merchant group smiled and asked Bai Xifeng with a fake concern.
Bai Xifeng told him that it was nothing. She thanked them for dinner and excused herself to get some rest. She stood up, and every eye followed her movement.
Bai Xifeng did not go far. She found a tree and leaned against the tree. Her expression showed she was uncomfortable. She constantly moved her face. Right... Left...
Then, Bai Xifeng heard footsteps approaching her.
"Young Lady Bai, are you okay?" It was the leader of the merchant group.
"I am fine. You don’t have to worry about me." Bai Xifeng replied with a weak tone.
"You seem sick. I can help you." The leader offered his help.
"No need. You can leave. I want to leave now." Bai Xifeng tried to make him leave.
But the leader of the merchant group did not move at all. He thought it was about time that he made the move on Bai Xifeng.
"I really can help you. You just need to surrender your body to me." The leader showed a wicked smile.
Then, the leader of the merchant group got closer. It was only 3 cm away from him, touching Bai Xifeng, that Cerberus appeared and growled at the leader of the merchant group. He fell on his butt when he saw a fierce beast appear near him.
"No... No..." The leader of the merchant group was very terrified.
Everyone who watched from afar was also horrified. How could a beast suddenly appear just like that? They saw the beast protecting Bai Xifeng from their leader. Could that be the girl’s contracted beast? If that was the case, then they were doomed.
A normal girl would not travel alone. At least, there would be a few people accompanying the girl. However, this girl was travelling alone and not to mention, she just walked. No wonder she could travel alone. She was accompanied by a beast.
They targeted the wrong prey. She was not a prey. She was the predator and they were their prey. They walked into her trap just like that.
