Entangled with An Evil Lord

"Miss Gu, rest assured. Tian Meimei and the monster he has captured can communicate telepathically. He can also summon the creature at any time. Even if Lion accidentally falls into the swamp, Tian Meimei can summon it back."

Gu Xijiu was relieved to learn that. However, she still had another question. "Miss Feng, are you and your red snake also connected telepathically? Where is it now? Did it find the jade statue?"

Feng Ruhuo coughed. "I am not a creature trainer, so I am not connected to my snake. Nonetheless, Xiao Chi is brilliant. It can use the Ground Drilling technique if it needs to do so. After entering the city, it will split up with other snakes. As long as either snake finds the jade statue, it will come back to me to report it."

"Is there a chance that it could get caught?"

"No, Xiao Chi is vigilant and is very stealthy. No one can catch it." Feng Ruhuo was very confident in her snake’s ability.

Gu Xijiu nodded in acknowledgment and did not ask any further. She knew Yun Yanli was a very cautious person. And, since he already suspected that the jade statue was Di Fuyi, he would naturally hide the statue in a very secret place. She guessed that there would make a lot of wizardry barriers guarding it as well. Therefore, it was very unlikely that they would find it.

Nevertheless, if the snakes are unable to find it in advance, Gu Xijiu’s backup plan was to sneak in on the day of the wedding and wait for the opportunity to save him. Since Yun Yanli would place the jade statue in a public place, and her chances of stealing it would be the highest.

Knowing Yun Yanli well, Gu Xijiu was certain that he would set up a number of traps nearby, waiting for the people from the devil world to be captured. However, sometimes, even a trap was an opportunity.
