Since leaving the orc camp, Wang Xiaole's only purpose now was to lead Lucia around the border area until his disciple calmed down.

In the border area between Dibiles and the Orc Kingdom, there was a forest belonging to the neutral zone.

If Wang Xiaole left the empire and continued straight ahead, he would reach the orc camp.

And now, as long as he continued along the northern road, he would enter that forest.

With a relatively flat feeling under his feet, Wang Xiaole looked up and saw lush forests on both sides.

Because it was late at night, there were no birds chirping and the animals seemed to be sleeping.

Usually, at this time, the forest would be silent, but Wang Xiaole's ears twitched slightly.

His keen senses directly told him that there seemed to be someone nearby, not far from this place.

Although it was only an intuitive judgment, Wang Xiaole's mind was filled with doubts. He always felt that someone's eyes were constantly watching this direction...

As if to intensify the seriousness in the person's heart, at the same moment, Lucia, who was holding his hand, suddenly stopped in place.

Wang Xiaole's body instinctively moved forward.

However, due to the lack of cooperation from his companion, he was pulled back by a force of stillness as soon as he took a step forward.

As he took two steps back, Wang Xiaole kept his eyelids still and looked at the girl beside him, asking her, "Xiyah, are you tired?"

The girl being asked didn't say anything, she just bent down, rubbing her legs together and her knees that were close together.

Her wrinkled face moved her lips a few times, anxiously answering, "I can't go on... my dear, I'm going to find a suitable place to take care of my own business, you wait here for me."

Wang Xiaole's mind was active. Looking at the girl's reaction, he knew that she had those kind of needs.

"Don't worry, I won't go far. Xiyah, you go ahead."

After the agreement, Lucia didn't hesitate, unusually losing her elegance and rushing out.

Following the extending sight of that figure, Wang Xiaole only saw the girl running towards a corner in the forest, a dark area where even moonlight couldn't reach.

Waiting is a virtue, Wang Xiaole believed that especially when waiting for a girl, he needed to have the virtue of patience.

During this time at the designated location, he had nothing to do.

Even if he suddenly had an idea and wanted to look at the moon hanging above his head, it would only be a momentary whim.

"If only this world also had electronic devices..."

Wang Xiaole complained.

Although he brought his mobile phone with him when he traveled through time, he didn't bring it with him this time when he went out with Lucia.

Waiting was not a problem, Wang Xiaole didn't mind spending time for the girl, but he regretted not being able to entertain himself during this time.

Little did he know, he wouldn't feel bored soon!

In Wang Xiaole's boredom, just as he was about to close his eyes and doze off, that unpleasant feeling of being watched suddenly emerged in his mind again.

"Hmm? So it wasn't just an illusion!"

At the beginning of entering the forest, Wang Xiaole vaguely felt a certain consciousness, believing that someone was observing him.

If this awareness accompanied by speculation only occurs once from start to finish, then he confirms that he was wrong in his thinking;

However, shortly after Lucia left, his speculation was confirmed, and he had confidence in his personal judgment this time.

"I'm just an ordinary person who lives peacefully, and yet I have become someone else's target; my hidden friend, have you made a mistake?"

With a relaxed demeanor, Wang Xiaole laughed as he walked and turned in circles around the area.

Along the way, he shouted the words above;

Contrary to the polite speech, after a few steps, Wang Xiaole prepared himself for both physical and mental battles.

Under his amiable appearance, Wang Xiaole couldn't deny that he had a combative side, which was the instinct of being human.

He found it difficult to pass the time while waiting, and the object that eased his boredom came to him willingly, which filled him with a sense of anticipation.

"Are you coming to find me, or should I come to find you first? Let me know if you have any ideas."

Wang Xiaole's mouth curled into a villainous smile, while his body moved swiftly. Without waiting for a reply from the hidden figure, he raised his right hand.

"Three-second countdown, if you don't come out, I won't take responsibility for the consequences!"

Drawing a circle on the soil with his feet, Wang Xiaole was not joking. He really straightened his three fingers on his right hand.

"Three."

The sound of rustling came from the forest, indicating that the person hiding there was getting closer to this area.

"Two."

Rustle rustle rustle rustle!

The sound of branches rubbing against each other became louder, causing Wang Xiaole to be fully focused, ready to engage in offense and defense at any moment.

"One!"

The countdown inevitably reached its final moment. Based on one side's speculation:

After this countdown, there should definitely be a voice from the dark area across, but there was none.

Although there was no shout, a shadow swiftly approached, compensating with actual action, and pounced forward.

Before the conflict erupted, Wang Xiaole had imagined many possible responses the opponent might take, but he never expected:

"Someone who doesn't say a word and just charges at me? This counts as a different kind of 'physical attack,' doesn't it?"

Before this mocking remark even finished, a loud bang followed!

The forest was filled with countless trees, and in that instant when the sound echoed under the moonlight, a large number of leaves fell, slightly covering up the previous dull crashing sound.

When he regained his senses, Wang Xiaole realized that he was lying face down on the ground, and everything in front of him had turned pitch black.

What kind of situation was this?

As his brain quickly processed information, Wang Xiaole's first reaction was:

The opponent had used magic, a type of dark magic that could engulf all light in its surroundings.

Thinking of this, he sighed inwardly, believing that he had encountered a master of magic.

But gradually, he felt something was off.

Since his line of sight was blocked, now would be the perfect time for the opponent to attack, so why hadn't they made a move yet?

Could it be that the person enjoyed playing a waiting game? They were not in a hurry to act but wanted to observe the enemy's impatience?

While lost in these thoughts, Wang Xiaole's brain received a new signal, this time from his sense of smell.

The sensitive nose caught:

In the current air flow, there is a moist smell, sweet with a hint of fragrance, and the fragrance contains a touch of mellowness...

Wang Xiaole's imagination was limited after all, and he did not associate the pleasant smell he smelled with the "enchanting magic cast by the enemy";

He began to realize:

"Could this be the scent of a girl?"

Moving his lips a few times, Wang Xiaole noticed another detail worth exploring:

His mouth couldn't open freely, as if there was something not too heavy but not too light pressing on his mouth, or rather, on his entire face.

Shake, shake, shake, shake.

Maybe feeling uncomfortable, the object began to move, and only then did Wang Xiaole realize that it was a living creature.

As the unknown creature on his face moved violently, his eyes, previously covered up, received external light shortly afterwards.

The unknown creature initially pressed its soft body on the face of the person underneath.

Due to adjusting positions, that softness shifted back, leaving some space.

This movement allowed Wang Xiaole's pressed head to regain freedom, and his twitching nose was able to breathe fresh air.

After his eyes made contact with light after a long time, in order to move his stiff neck, Wang Xiaole naturally lifted his head.

As he lifted his head, his eyes followed and instantly saw a clear figure.

Drip!

A water droplet on the leaf fell to the ground, forming a small puddle after accumulating for some time;

While the surroundings were still, the ripples on the surface of the puddle gradually calmed down, revealing the face of a girl.

No, the word "girl" is not accurate, she could only be described as a young girl with a hint of innocence.

The girl reflected in the puddle had short hair as white as winter snow, and her clear dew-like eyes were the most striking feature on her lovely face.

Noticing his gaze, the girl instinctively lowered her eyes, pursing her cherry-like crimson lips.

As the girl's gaze moved downward, Wang Xiaole turned his gaze around in an attempt to catch a glimpse of the girl's entire appearance.

She had a petite body, resembling a huggable pillow, with some of her milky skin covered by the fabric, giving off a healthy visual impression in her fairness;

The orange-colored kitty ears, which moved like leaves, accompanied her mischievous eyes, evoking the desire to touch her;

When her diverted pupils were fixed, a tingling sensation gradually emerged, caused by a swaying furry cat tail.

If we exclude the possibility of hallucinations, then at this moment, Wang Xiaole can confidently assert:

He had encountered a beast ear girl wandering in the wild, and judging from her physical characteristics, she seemed to be a cat ear loli.

For a moment, he seriously thought:

Could this be the missing princess? According to his memory, it seems that the Wang family is a cat ear tribe.

This speculation came quickly, but dissipated just as quickly.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Xiaole dismissed the guess with one reason:

How can such a coincidence happen in the world?

It must be just a coincidence!

What he encountered was definitely not a princess, but just a very cute cat ear loli. The other party must have an ordinary identity.

In the moment when he brushed against the truth, he suddenly felt a shock;

Wang Xiaole lowered his head and saw that the delicate hand of the cat-eared loli had already reached into his embrace...
