30: Chapter 30 Sneaking Out
There was nothing to do these past few days.
Qian Mo did not need to attend school either. His days were spent waking up early to go for a run, returning home to perform his "martial arts demonstration" after running, spending the afternoon Cultivating with spirit crystals, watching news programs after dinner, and going to sleep before ten o'clock.
His routine was quite regular, making Xing Yaoyan, a night owl, always feel inferior in comparison.
After experiencing that awkward incident, she became a bit afraid to get close to Qian Mo. Perhaps also because her size had increased, Qian Mo no longer petted her as recklessly as before; now, at most, he would just stroke her head.
However, when Qian Mo woke up early, he would subconsciously reduce the noise he made while washing up; and after he returned home from his run, he would always find his slippers neatly placed at the entryway, and sometimes there would even be warmed milk and bread on the dining table. As for the scenes at other times, there is no need to go into detail.
Xing Yaoyan quite liked this state of getting along with Qian Mo; the human and the beast appeared to not interfere with each other, yet they could subconsciously think for the other, silently integrating into each other's life rhythm.
However, there was still a thorn in Xing Yaoyan's heart—she could not go out.
She did not know why, but Qian Mo no longer took her out. No matter how she acted spoiled or rolled around, he would always stroke her head and tell her that this was also for her own safety.
And every time she saw the sincerity in the youth's eyes, she could only sigh in her heart and lie on the balcony, watching the bustling traffic outside.
She actually knew what the youth was worried about, but every day was just eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating (Cultivating was also just eating, eating, eating). If she did not go out soon, her body would start to mold!
Consequently, she had been waiting, waiting for a suitable opportunity.
Her identity as a white wolf might be sensitive in front of the Security Bureau, but her identity as a human would be a different matter...
And very soon, she finally waited for this opportunity.
Early that morning, Qian Mo left a note and went out.
The moment she heard the sound of the door closing, Xing Yaoyan jumped straight up from her nest.
After seeing the note on the table that read "I will be back at noon, stay home and be good," she instantly jumped two meters high with joy.
An opportunity, this was an opportunity!
Xing Yaoyan quickly took action. First, she flash-purchased a set of clothes online that she had already selected, then immediately pulled all the curtains in the room, and finally used her Power Of Will to quietly transform.
"Whew~ this body is still more comfortable... I have been a wolf for too long recently, I hope I do not end up only knowing how to walk on four legs by the time this is over..."
"Ding-dong!"
The doorbell rang.
"Hello, your flash-purchased express delivery has arrived."
"Oh, coming."
Xing Yaoyan responded casually, thinking to herself that this delivery was much faster than in her previous life; it really was an instant delivery.
She put on the white face mask she had prepared beforehand, gently opened the door, received the package from the courier with both hands, and then flashed a grateful smile at him.
"Ah... miss, what is that on your head..."
The courier's words instantly made Xing Yaoyan's smile freeze.
Damn it! I forgot that I cannot hide my ears after transforming!
"Oh, you mean this? This is a cosplay prop I made myself; isn't it realistic?"
Her reaction was quick; she answered almost as soon as the courier finished speaking.
"Ah... ah haha... sorry, I was just a bit sensitive."
He said, lowering his head, too shy to look at the young girl's face.
"Lastly, I am Xiao Ning. It is an honor to be the messenger delivering your happiness. I wish you a wonderful day, and please remember to give a five-star review, dear!"
"Okay, thank you."
The door closed. Xing Yaoyan leaned against the back of the door and gently patted her chest, relieved that she had reacted quickly just now, so nothing went wrong.
"Now then... plan successful!"
Not long after, the door slowly opened.
A graceful figure emerged from it. She wore a wide sun hat, a white puffy dress, a white face mask, and a pair of white sneakers on her feet.
The exposed arms, like lotus roots, and those long, red-tinted corners of her eyes revealed her identity; this was a stunningly beautiful woman.
Her heart was beating violently.
Xing Yaoyan had not expected that, even though she had made all kinds of preparations beforehand, she would feel nervous now, at the very moment she was about to achieve her goal.
After all, she was in an unfamiliar environment without anyone she trusted by her side; that lack of security was something everyone would likely feel.
"Come on, Xing Yaoyan, this is your first step toward independence in this world. Let us set going to that dessert shop not far away as our first small goal..."
After secretly cheering herself on, she finally made up her mind and took that step forward.
"Boss, a woman who has never been seen before has come out of the target's home."
"Send one or two people to follow from a distance, do not alert the target."
"Received."
Just a few hundred meters from Qian Mo's home, in a hovering car, a man was reporting the situation near the target's house into a walkie-talkie.
After receiving the order from his superior, he reached his hand out of the car window and made a few gestures.
The next moment, several men and women dressed in casual clothes got out of the car, pretending to be passersby, and walked in the direction Xing Yaoyan had left.
The micro-earpieces in their ears glinted with an imperceptible silver light under the sun.
"Boss, has that matter not already ended? It was just a false alarm. Why are you still assigning us to monitor the suspect 24 hours a day..."
Watching his colleagues' retreating figures, the man grumbled and complained. Because of this mission, he had not returned home to be with his family for several days in a row.
"Do more and ask less; just do the work you are supposed to do."
The voice on the other end of the walkie-talkie was cold and rigid, completely shutting the man up.
"Sorry, Boss."
He hung up the walkie-talkie, his eyes emitting fluctuations of spiritual power, staring intently at the young girl's cautious figure in the distance.
"I hope you will be a good Breakthrough point..."
After a few minutes, the young girl's figure completely disappeared from his field of vision.
He closed his eyes and leaned his body against the back of the seat, intending to take a short nap to relieve the fatigue brought on by the high-intensity monitoring mission of the past few days.
Just then, the walkie-talkie in his hand suddenly transmitted a panicked voice from his colleague:
"It is bad! The target suddenly disappeared; we lost her!"
"What!"
Coincidentally, he received an emergency order from his superior on his phone:
Satellites have detected traces of a Star Beast in the area where your team is located. Please stop the mission immediately and lead the Enforcers to eliminate this hidden Star Beast.
After seeing this message, the man, who had been a bit sleepy, was instantly wide awake. Losing a suspect was actually not a big deal. But if a pest like a Star Beast had been discovered, then the problem was huge.
Thinking of this, he did not dare to delay for a moment and quickly roared into the walkie-talkie:
"All Black Dragon Enforcers, listen up! Drop your current tracking mission. Use the signal fluctuations sent to you by the Bureau and find this Star Beast that has hidden its way in for me!"
"Supplement: Do not have a shred of mercy for this kind of thing. Once found, execute it on the spot! I repeat, execute it on the spot!"
