Just a magical girl who picks up trash

Of course, that kind of thing is obviously impossible. Not to mention whether he wants to do it or not, the Elder Council will obviously not allow him to do so. After all, not to mention the previous incident of Xia Yu's parents, just the matter of Xia Miao has obviously aroused the suspicion of the Elder Council. Therefore, if Xia Baichuan really did something at this time, then his fate can be imagined.

In view of this, Xia Baichuan could only wait, and wait silently in secret... Hard work pays off, and due to a small accident, he finally succeeded in finding... the dawn of hope!

76. False Alarm

In Xia Baichuan's view, his life is undoubtedly blessed by God. Although this blessing is sometimes filled with various unsatisfactory pranks, the final result will always lead to the most suitable result for him under the guidance of fate.

Xia Yu, who had noticed Xia Miao's existence from somewhere, began to investigate the whereabouts of his missing sister at a certain time. As her only and last family member, there is no doubt that Xia Yu cares about this matter. It was this excessive relationship that resulted in Xia Baichuan, who was hiding in the dark, finding an opportunity.

Found...an opportunity to deal with Xia Yu!

Of course, it is obviously impossible to solve the problem of Xia Miao by himself, and he will not let himself bear this stigma, so Xia Baichuan will naturally not do so. However, not doing so does not mean that there is no way to solve the problem of Xia Yu. After all, you have to know that Xia Yu is now investigating Xia Miao, and where was Xia Miao sent in the first place?

In the hands of slave traders!

The so-called slave traders are undoubtedly a profession that walks in the dark. They cannot be seen in the light but they have strong backgrounds and networks of relationships. If a mere cat tribe leader wants to investigate such an existence, it would be like hitting a rock with an egg.

Therefore, when Xia Yu was not paying attention, Xia Baichuan deliberately sent some "intelligence" to her. The information was undoubtedly true, but precisely because it was true, Xia Yu noticed the slave trader and launched an investigation.

With a direction, the investigation was undoubtedly much simpler. At the same time, as more and more truths were revealed by Xia Yu bit by bit, she naturally became the focus of some people and even... the target.

The trafficking of orcs is an absolute prohibition in the Great Forest. After all, no matter how the orcs fight among themselves, that is the orcs' own business, and no outsiders are allowed to interfere. Let's not talk about this for now... Selling orcs as slaves is an insult to the orcs themselves. Therefore, the most excluded people in the Great Forest are undoubtedly slave traders.

In this situation, although there are some traitors among the orcs who secretly collude with some slave traders to help themselves solve some troubles that they cannot face, such as Xia Baichuan, this kind of thing is ultimately done in secret, and those bigwigs are also afraid that what they have done will be exposed. At that time, it is obviously not as simple as death. No one can bear the consequences of betraying orcs.

Therefore, as Xia Yu's investigation gradually deepened, someone finally couldn't help but take action, and this was exactly the effect Xia Baichuan wanted... Let those people take action so that Xia Miao would never appear in the cat tribe. Because of the pressure from the bigwigs above, even the Elders' Council would not be able to say anything at that time.

Even at that time, he only needed to appear as a mediator at the critical moment to appease those bigwigs. Xia Baichuan, who had demonstrated his value, could naturally gain the support of the tribesmen and thus ascend to power!

Everything was planned so perfectly. Although Xia Yu was gifted, she was just a girl in her teens after all. It was not difficult for those old hands to deceive her. Therefore, the final result of Xia Yu's investigation was... she became a prisoner and was sold to the Science and Technology City with the same fate as her sister.

Of course, the difference with Xia Miao is that this time these slave traders obviously cannot sell Xia Yu to those Demon Realm nobles or something like that. On the one hand, Xia Miao is the king of the cat clan after all. If he escapes accidentally, the trouble that will be caused will be really big. On the other hand, Xia Yu was not trained as a slave since childhood after all. She is arrogant enough, and if she really makes a big fuss, it will not be good for anyone.

In view of this, letting her leave the Demon Realm and selling her to the Science and Technology City is undoubtedly the best option.

What happened after that... well, there is no need to say more, because now we are talking about Xia Baichuan's side!

The two sisters were dealt with, and they also removed themselves completely in the process. For Xia Baichuan, this result was undoubtedly the treatment of the biggest winner.

The cat tribe lost its "king" again. It was obviously impossible for the tribe to be leaderless. In addition, everything went according to Xia Baichuan's idea. Those bigwigs really started to attack the cat tribe. But in the end, after he dealt with them openly and secretly, even the elders' council of the cat tribe had to agree to Xia Baichuan as the "King of Cats".

Of course, it must be said that although the Elders Council did doubt Xia Baichuan about the "death" of Xia Yu and Xia Miao and even the death of the previous Elvis Presley, what could they do even if they had doubts?

Even if the dead are avenged, they are still dead. In contrast, Xia Baichuan has a "royal blood" after all. In this case, offending the dead for the sake of the dead is obviously not a cost-effective choice. Therefore, under the concept of "for the cat clan", the Elders' Council finally fulfilled Xia Baichuan's wish and made him the Cat King.

Everything seemed like a dream and natural to Xia Baichuan. He believed that he was favored by the goddess of fate and had achieved his best result. This undoubtedly further stimulated his ambition. The emotions that had been suppressed for many years were out of control once they were released. Therefore, just after becoming the Elvis, he resolutely joined the Leopard Clan and became its subordinate race despite the objections of the Elders' Council.

After that, everything developed as planned. After contributing most of the interests and even the tribe members of the cat tribe, he won the appreciation of the leopard tribe. He even gradually gained the favor of the Leopard King with his cunning character. He even participated in the Council of Beasts as his military advisor.

If things continue to develop in this way, Xia Baichuan thinks that he will undoubtedly be able to make friends and curry favor with more leaders of other ethnic groups after this meeting. For the sake of the Leopard Clan, these people will more or less give him a little face, but for Xia Baichuan, a little face is enough for him to use his wisdom to deal with it.

As long as he was given the opportunity, he believed that with his intelligence and talents, it would not be impossible for him to lead the cat tribe to a better and stronger position... With such ambition, Xia Baichuan still made all mental preparations and went to the meeting with full expectations.

However, there is a saying that goes, ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel... All the beautiful ideas, all the beautiful expectations, all the full ambitions, but no matter how much you plan, you still fail to calculate one thing, which is... the attitude of a prophet!

He had no idea why, but during a meeting of beasts with the participation of dozens of races, the prophet just happened to look at him. If this look was good or kind, even if it was just a look of approval, it would undoubtedly be an opportunity for Xia Baichuan to rise to prominence. After all, for the orcs, the prophet's identity was equivalent to that of a god, and he was the spokesperson for God.

However, the prophet's gaze towards him was filled with disgust and coldness... even with a hint of murderous intent. When such a gaze fell on Xia Baichuan, one could imagine how terrified and frightened he was at that time.

It was not only because of the fear in the prophet's eyes, but also because of his future fate.

The prophet is God's messenger and is revered by the entire Orc tribe. It is no exaggeration to say that she is God to the Orc tribe. And every word and action of such a prophet will undoubtedly affect various changes in the entire Orc tribe. A mere cat tribe leader like him can be easily eliminated with just a few words.

In view of this, since returning from that meeting, Xia Baichuan has been in a state of anxiety every moment. The innate idea that he was blessed by the goddess of fate has obviously disappeared now, and all that is left is endless fear about the actions that the prophet may take against him after that.

Now, about three days have passed since he came back. However, what makes Xia Baichuan puzzled is that during these three days, not to mention whether the prophet or other races will come to trouble him after that day, even the leopard tribe he depends on seems to be unaware of what happened that day, and everything is still going on as usual.

Not only that, just yesterday the chief of the Leopard Tribe also sent him greetings, claiming that he invited him to attend the birthday party of his thirteenth son. To Xia Baichuan, this did not seem like a Hongmen Banquet at all. After all, if the Leopard Tribe wanted to get rid of him, he would be completely unable to resist if they just attacked him directly.

Of course, after reading the so-called birthday party invitation, Xia Baichuan undoubtedly understood the meaning behind it... It was said that they were inviting him to attend the party, which was giving him face, but in fact, it was asking him to bring some more "female companions" with him.

As for what will happen to those female companions after being sent to the Leopard Tribe...that is not something that needs to be considered at all.

But so what? Yeah, so what?!

This is not only not bad news for Xia Baichuan, but may be good news. After all, this means that the prophet really does not seem to care about what happened that day, and he is still the number one military advisor beside the Leopard King as always.

As for the few cat-people girls below him...that was obviously nothing to him!

77. Xia Mi

(As for how many more years I will have to write this book... well... Xiaoyu is a spontaneous writer, so... I don't know either. Hehe~~~)

The anxiety in my heart was temporarily soothed because nothing happened in the past few days. After that, what rose up was nothing more than the flame of ambition that continued to burn and the calculation of what I could gain from this incident.

The leopard tribe leader's intention was very obvious, that is, he wanted to take advantage of this banquet to present a beauty from the cat tribe. This was undoubtedly an opportunity for Xia Baichuan... After all, the leopard tribe's banquet was attended by undoubtedly big figures from some powerful races. If he could successfully establish connections with them, it would be a way for him to expand his network.

He had this in mind at the previous Beasts Conference, but who would have thought that a look from the prophet would frighten Xia Baichuan so much that he lost his way and fled back in a hurry. How could he possibly go and talk to the nobles of various races? Moreover, it was obvious that he was not the only one frightened by the prophet's look. Others were the same. They couldn't even avoid him at that time, let alone talk about friendship.

"This matter still needs detailed arrangements... By the way, is the list of people attending the banquet ready?"

After thinking it over again and again, he called his men to confirm the accompanying list again. Although Xia Baichuan's action could undoubtedly be regarded as selling a girl for fame and fortune, not to mention that the cat people themselves were weak, it was actually not uncommon for cat girls to be forcibly abducted by other races.

At least Xia Baichuan's "giving away" could openly help the cat people find a backer while also gaining a lot of benefits. Therefore, although the elders had some complaints about this, they had no choice but to agree to Xia Baichuan's method in the end, so-called "for the sake of the cat people." Listening to Xia Baichuan's question, the attendant who walked in silently nodded and responded:

"Everything is ready!"

The calm girl's voice seemed to have no ups and downs, sounding like an emotionless machine. However, Xia Baichuan seemed to have heard some celestial music and revealed a rather subtle expression as he listened to that voice without any ups and downs. He turned his head to look at the girl whose voice and expression seemed frozen. A bright smile, yet a hint of gloom, appeared on his face.

"I never get tired of seeing you like this!"

He said such an incomprehensible word, but the girl seemed not to hear it and just stood there like a machine, silently waiting for the other party's next instruction. Xia Baichuan obviously did not intend to say anything more, because he knew very well that no matter how much he said, the other party would not have any extra reaction, so he immediately waved his hand and said:

"Then have them get ready. Tomorrow you will lead the way to the Leopard Tribe, and I will follow shortly!"

After all, there are still quite a lot of people to be taken with them, and Xia Baichuan naturally doesn't want to travel slowly with them. If he has that time, he might as well make all kinds of preparations early so that it will be easier for him to please the bigwigs of those powerful tribes.

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the girl turned around and walked outside without hesitation. However, she never expected that just when she reached the edge of the tent, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out from behind her, as if wanting to hug her in his arms.

However, it was obvious that the girl seemed to have been prepared for this. She turned around and silently dodged the other party with the help of a breeze. Then, without even looking at Xia Baichuan, she walked outside with a calm expression.

''''Tsk~~~''''

The failure of another sneak attack clearly made Xia Baichuan look unhappy. Even the last bit of patience in his eyes seemed to be completely worn out in this one. Finally, as he watched the girl leave, the gloomy expression on his face soon turned into a sinister smile:

"It's cold, it's cold all the time. After the Leopard Clan Banquet, you'll fully experience the cruelty of those powerful beastmen. The strongest man of the Cat Clan... humph!"

The tone clearly showed disdain for the so-called strongest cat clan leader, and this was actually what had always bothered Xia Baichuan the most.

Xiami, a wind walker of the cat clan (a person with awakened superpowers), is also the strongest of the cat clan. His parents died while resisting monsters, so he became an orphan since childhood. He was adopted by the wife of the previous clan leader, Xia Miao and Xia Yu's mother, and has been serving her as a maid.

He became an S-class great magician (a person with special abilities) at a young age. In addition, with the trust of Xia Yu's father at that time, he underwent some training and was then in charge of the only guard team in the cat clan. He became the only "leader" in the cat clan and was also known as the strongest in the cat clan... Of course, that was in the past.

Since Xia Baichuan came to power, although the cat guard still exists, it has been changed beyond recognition according to his orders. It has not only become a gilded place for the "powerful and wealthy" of the cat tribe, but any cat girl with a little beauty can hardly escape the clutches of outsiders or even her own people.

Especially after Xia Baichuan got in touch with the Leopard Clan, as more and more catwomen were "sent" out, the number of people in the guard team naturally increased. Until finally, even Xia Mi obviously had no intention of reorganizing the guard team. After leaving on his own initiative, he had no choice but to become Xia Baichuan's bodyguard because of the order of the Elder Council.

Of course, despite this, relying on her own strength, it is obviously impossible for Xia Baichuan to do anything to her. In addition, unlike Xia Yu who was easily deceived, Xia Mi has been 100% wary of Xia Baichuan from the beginning. Even in the entire cat clan, with the elders colluding with Xia Baichuan, there are only a handful of people who can gain her trust.

In view of this, for such a long time, no matter how Xia Baichuan tried to coax her, Xia Mi still maintained her indifferent attitude. Gradually, even Xia Baichuan, who had some intentions towards Xia Mi, could not help but feel a little angry and dissatisfied with being ignored.

Gradually, this dissatisfaction was magnified as Xia Baichuan went further and further. At the Hundred Beasts Conference, he saw with his own eyes the strong men of various races, which "broadened his horizons" and made him feel indifferent towards this so-called strongest man. Finally, at this Leopard Clan Banquet, he made up his mind to send her away.

This kind of gift is naturally not given away for free. After all, Xiami is the strongest among the cat clan. Just relying on this title is at least a good bargaining chip for the cat clan. Therefore, since he had contacted outsiders long before, Xia Baichuan naturally got a good price. Of course, he only got half of this price now, and the rest... he still needs to wait until he sends Xiami over first.

It is precisely because of this that Xia Baichuan specifically asked Xia Mi to lead the advance team sent by the cat tribe this time. As for the reason... hehehe~~~

The idea in his mind was undoubtedly good. His spirit, which had been frightened by the prophet's eyes for a few days, gradually began to improve. The flame that had quietly extinguished was gradually burning in his heart again. Then Xia Baichuan began to plan everything that would happen next in his mind.

Of course, what he didn't know at that time was that not far from the cat tribe's residence, several figures were gradually approaching this side, and his life was officially entering the countdown.

...Timeline adjustment...

"Come on, let's go into the cat tribe and see... Wait, what's going on over there?"

Leading Xia Yu, Bai Qiu and others behind him, he walked towards the cat tribe in a swagger. Since they came here to seek revenge, there was naturally no need to hide anything. After all, that was a method only the weak would take. With the strength of Yu Huan and others, there was no problem in crushing the entire cat tribe. Therefore, this time, Yu Huan originally planned to let Xia Yu take a strong action, and then reveal his identity at the end to show off.

Just when they had just walked to a place not far from the cat tribe's residence, a scene in the distance suddenly caught their attention:

I saw a huge carriage pulled by animals like cows and horses not far away. Cat girls were walking towards the carriage with dead faces. At the same time, a girl wearing light leather armor was standing quietly on the side of the carriage, watching everything in front of her like a statue.

"That's... Xiaomi!"

When seeing the scene in front of him, Yu Huan just showed a puzzled expression, but Xia Yu behind him had already opened his mouth and exclaimed.

"Millet?"

At the same time, a doubtful voice came out of Xia Yu's mouth, but it came from another consciousness in the body: the voice said by Xia Miao. Xia Yu explained it without thinking:

"She's our sister. Although not my biological sister, she was the one who took care of me when our father passed away, helping me consolidate my position as the Cat King. She's also the strongest of the cat tribe... I originally thought Xia Baichuan would get rid of Sister Xiaomi after he took the throne, but unexpectedly... It seems he's also afraid of Sister Xiaomi's strength and doesn't dare to take action!"

The moment Xia Yu saw Xiami, he almost guessed the reason why he was in Ping An. However, when he saw the scene in front of him, before Xia Yu could say anything, Yu Huan narrowed his eyes and said:

"Although you said she was your sister, the current situation seems to me like...she has already taken refuge with your uncle?"

78. Tailing

Escort... No, it should be said to be escort!

The cat girls were escorted to the leopard tribe, saying that they were taking these people to watch a ceremony. However, in fact, just looking at the expressions of these cat girls and the way they were escorted, it is undoubtedly imaginable what the fate of these people will be after being sent to the leopard tribe.

However, the person leading such a team happened to be the elder sister who was introduced by Xia Yu and had taken care of her since she was a child. When seeing this scene, there is no doubt that no matter who it is, they would have some bad thoughts in their hearts!

After letting Bai Qiu return to his original form and quietly inquire about the information here as a returned cat, he got such an answer as expected. Xia Yu was undoubtedly in disbelief at first. Yu Huan also made a decisive decision after remaining silent for a while:

"Let's follow her. Your sister... might have her own ideas!"

Even as he said these somewhat confusing words, Xia Miao noticed that when he said this, Yu Huan's eyes were not light gold, but some colorful mist quietly flashed in the light gold.

That was Yu Huan's ability. Xia Yu didn't know that Xia Miao was very clear about it at that time, so when Xia Miao obviously knew what the other party had seen, he immediately and decisively calmed down Xia Yu who seemed to want to rush out to ask Xia Mi something. So the few of them changed their original plan to directly enter the cat tribe and instead followed behind the escort team and acted secretly.

The escort team was not very long. To be honest, it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as simple: except for the more than 20 cat girls who were locked in the carriage, the only ones left were Xiami who was responsible for driving the carriage and the six guards around him who were more like surveillance than escort. They set out from the cat tribe in such a "major" manner. According to the information Bai Qiu had obtained, they should be heading to the leopard tribe's camp.

"I don't believe Sister Xiaomi is such a person. She must have her own plans!"

On the way to Zong, Xia Yu said this without hesitation. Neither Bai Qiu nor Xia Miao expressed any opinion. The former was not qualified, while the latter did not feel familiar with the person named Xia Mi. Wei Youyuhuan remained silent for a while before speaking:

"If you believe it, then follow your own judgment. From now on, unless there's outsiders involved in the cat tribe's affairs, Sang and I won't intervene. I've said before that I have to avenge my own grudges, so... now everything is up to you!"

Having said this, Yu Huan glanced at Bai Qiu on the side and said again:

"Bai Qiu will help you. After all, he is also a cat!"

Although he had left the cat clan a long time ago because he could not stand the current situation of the cat clan or simply pursued strength, Bai Qiu was still a member of the cat clan after all. Regardless of the fact that he had already sworn allegiance to Sang, when he learned that Xia Yu and Xia Miao were the daughters of the previous cat king, he nodded without hesitation to indicate that he would do his best.

"Thank you City Lord!"

"Thank you sister!"

As soon as Yu Huan finished speaking, two voices came out from W almost at the same time. One was naturally Xia Yu's grateful voice, and the other was from Xia Miao. After all, the revenge that Yu Huan mentioned was obviously also hers. Although Xia Miao had no memory of the various experiences of being "kidnapped" in the same year as her because she was still young at the time, this did not mean that she would give up her enemy.

"Well, come on, tell them that we, the people of Tianyu City...are not to be bullied!"

After such encouragement, Yu Huan did what he said and without even hesitation, he took Sang and Yu Luo behind him and retreated a little distance. Although he had no intention of disappearing, it was obvious that he was not going to interfere in what was going to happen next.

Yu Huan did not interfere in the affairs here. According to Xia Yu's previous idea, she actually wanted to rush up to find Xia Mi to ask for clarification. However, even now that Yu Huan and Xia Miao were no longer blocking her, when Xia Yu was about to rush up, she hesitated for some reason.

If I rush over...what should I ask?

At this moment, Xia Yu couldn't help but fall into such confusion... The question was simple, but Xia Yu was a little scared... She was afraid of hearing some answers she didn't want to hear from her sister who had been taking care of her since she was born. This was not the result she wanted, but it was the reality she had to face. For a moment, she didn't know whether to escape or be afraid, and Xia Yu couldn't help but fall into hesitation.

"If you don't dare to ask, then why not just watch? After all, the Cat Tribe isn't too far from the Leopard Tribe. If she really changes... then it won't be too late to take action after we get to the Leopard Tribe!"

Since we don't dare to communicate to find out the truth, we might as well let the facts speak for themselves. Then we will have to admit it even if it is cruel... Yu Huan's words made Xia Yu nod silently. In the end, he did not really rush up to rescue those cat girls and ask Xia Mi for clarification. Instead, he followed silently behind as he did just now, watching the convoy move slowly.

………………

The carriage was moving slowly forward in the forest. Except for Xiami, the driver, who looked calm from beginning to end, the six cat people around him looked around vigilantly from beginning to end as if they were facing a great enemy. If you could see their faces under the masks at this time, it would not be difficult to see that some of them were a little nervous and afraid, but their eyes were full of determination.

In this way, the carriage traveled for a whole day without any problems. Everything seemed calm again. However, at night, the team prepared to set up camp on a small flat ground.

Six cat people sat around the fire next to the carriage, eating the dry food in their hands, and Xiami also handed some food in through the carriage curtain. It seemed that he had no intention of letting the cat woman inside get off the carriage. The atmosphere was silent and depressing for an unknown period of time. After everyone finished eating the dry food silently, they looked at each other one after another. Some rested while others began to keep watch.

There was no conversation that night. For Yu Huan and others, staying up all night was not a difficult thing. However, with Yu Luo, the Shumachiya who was on standby 24 hours a day, there was obviously no need for extra people to carry out surveillance. Therefore, when Yu Huan woke up from his sleep holding Sang, he saw Yu Luo who was quietly staring at the direction of the camp from beginning to end, and Xia Yu who also did not sleep all night.

"..."

Yu Huan didn't say anything about Xia Yu's behavior of staring at the camp not far away from the beginning. After all, it seemed that the people who were about to be sent away were all Xia Yu's clansmen, and the people in charge of escorting them were the people Xia Yu trusted the most and regarded as sisters. This was just like the relationship between herself and Xia Miao. In Xia Miao's heart, wasn't she the most trusted person?

And now the person he trusted the most had "betrayed" him. This was undoubtedly something that Xia Yu found hard to believe no matter what.
