She pulled out two lollipops and handed one to Heloise. "Come and relax with some candy." Heloise shook her head and held the dagger in her hand again, obviously not completely relaxed yet. After all, Ruan Qiaoqiao was actually caught by her when she attempted to escape. "Okay, eat quickly. Aren't you tired after running all night?" Ruan Qiaoqiao put the lollipop into Heloise's mouth without saying anything. "Hmm!" The elf girl subconsciously wanted to take the lollipop out of her mouth, but the sweetness made her hesitate. This was her first time eating a lollipop. She had been warned since she was a child that an assassin should not eat such things that were used to coax children, because it was greedy for pleasure. After hesitating for a moment, she finally decided not to throw away the lollipop in her mouth. She enjoyed the sweet feeling on her taste buds.
After eating some food and drinking water, the two men leaned against a big tree and began to rest. In the quiet forest, only birds are making clear and melodious sounds. Ruan Qiaoqiao slowly closed her eyes and her consciousness was about to sink. "Why...why did you save me?" Heloise's words suddenly brought her back to consciousness. She slowly opened her eyes with a smile in her eyes. She knew Heloise was asking about her throwing stones in the river last night. "You just saved someone, shouldn't they repay you?" “That’s the mission.” "There is no conflict," Ruan Qiaoqiao shook her head. Sour "I know what you think. But I don't care too much about the hatred between demons and elves." "It sounds a bit hypocritical, but even though you kidnapped me, I felt that we got along pretty well these past few days, so I subconsciously..." Ruan Qiaoqiao hooked the ends of her hair, her face slightly red. Heloise remained silent, feeling very surprised. She had always been taught that demons were the public enemy of the entire continent, and if she met one, she must kill him. In fact, she has always done so, and the demons have never been lenient towards her. It was the first time she had heard someone say that. The cool breeze blowing from afar gently blew the ends of their hair, bringing a slight chill.
Such a quiet morning makes people feel extremely comfortable. The two were silent for a long time, their two little heads leaning against each other and falling asleep. ------- On the other side, in the palace of the Elf Kingdom. Chapter 24: Untitled (Additional Chapter ) The prince of the Elf Kingdom was sitting upright on a chair in his study. A man dressed in black was standing in front of him with his head lowered. The study was quiet, with only two people present. It was obvious that this was not an open and aboveboard meeting. The Elf Prince asked with a cold expression. "Any news from the special team?" "Your Highness, not yet." "Since the previous news clearly stated that the inheritance pearl was in Heloise's hands, she actually lost contact." The Elf Prince tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair, as if he was thinking about something. "It seems that she wants to monopolize the power of the inheritance pearl. What a traitor! Ha!" He sneered and concluded rather rudely. "Pass on my order. Find Heloise as soon as possible. Kill her and take back the inheritance pearl." The man in black was stunned when he heard such an order. "But Your Highness. After all, she is Your Highness, your sister. If the King were to investigate..." "Cut the nonsense!" The Elf Prince raised his hand to interrupt him. "I can only explain this matter to my father. Just do as I ask." "Yes!" The man in black nodded, and his figure gradually twisted into a dark shadow on the ground. He shuttled across the ground as fast as a ghost and soon disappeared in the room. The Elf Prince looked at the disappearing man in black, and the corners of his mouth gradually rose into a happy smile. Although he didn't think that his stupid sister could pose a threat to his throne, it would be great if he could get rid of a rival. …… After walking for a while, Ruan Qiaoqiao and Heloise soon arrived at the village marked on the map. The two men rested for a night, spent money to buy a carriage from the villagers, and continued on their journey.
After the failed escape attempt yesterday, Ruan Qiaoqiao calmed down again and waited for the next opportunity to escape. Judging from the map, although the capital of the Demon Empire is not too far from the border, it is still separated from the Alliance of Light by two cities. The journey will take at least half a month, so Ruan Qiaoqiao still has many opportunities. When Jiao Liu and the others arrived at the nearest city, it was almost dark. After Heloise parked the carriage at a place that charged a fee for watching over carriages, she took Ruan Qiaoqiao straight into the alley. Ruan Qiaoqiao didn't understand and asked as she walked. "Sister Elf, where are we going?" Heloise naturally couldn't hear the meaning behind her words, so she just replied calmly. "hostel." "hostel?" Ruan Qiaoqiao was a little surprised. Just when she was about to ask what kind of hotel would be in such a place, she suddenly understood. Neither she nor Heloise had any identification, so they probably couldn't stay in a regular hotel, so they could only go to places like this. While Ruan Qiaoqiao was thinking, Heloise had already stopped. What Ruan Qiaoqiao saw was a run-down three-story building, with the signboard at the door even peeling off. On both sides, there were even many drunk people vomiting. The vomit was spilled on the ground which had been scorched by the sun all day, giving off a foul smell. Without going in, Ruan Qiaoqiao could hear the noise coming from the drinkers inside. Ruan Qiaoqiao covered her mouth and nose and frowned in disgust. "Can't we live somewhere else?" Her tone sounded aggrieved. Heloise didn't say anything, she just pulled Ruan Qiaoqiao and walked straight into the hotel. "Ah, I really have to go in. Elf-sister, you are just a small fry, a small fry!" Ruan Qiaoqiao stamped her feet and protested in dissatisfaction. But no matter how unhappy she was, she still followed him in. As soon as Ruan Qiaoqiao entered, she could feel that many men were looking at her with ill intentions. That kind of look made Ruan Qiaoqiao feel uncomfortable all over. Heloise blocked her with one hand, and then swept her cold eyes around the whole audience. The murderous look that made people feel like they were falling into an icy cave made many people present turn their heads away in fear. The elf girl's temperament of a person who has been bathing in blood for many years, plus the short sword at her waist, made many people who were obsessed with sex sober up. In the Demon Empire, all races except demons are slaves. Among them, elves are the most powerful and the most expensive slaves.
Seeing that the atmosphere here was somewhat tense, the hotel proprietress hurried over with a smile. "Hey, two guests, do you want to stay in the hotel or have a drink?" The innkeeper said as she looked at the two of them with a scrutinizing gaze. Ruan Qiaoqiao looked like a rich lady who came out to play with bodyguards, so it was really strange for her to come to such a small hotel. "Stay in the hotel, one room." Heloise spoke sparingly and took out the corresponding amount of money. It was obvious that she already knew the situation here. "Oh, thank you for your patronage, young lady." The proprietress smiled coquettishly, bowed gently to Ruan Qiaoqiao, and then walked back to the counter with her hips twisted. When she handed the key to Ruan Qiaoqiao, she asked with a smile again. "My lady, this is probably your first time visiting a place like ours. Do you need any special services?" Ruan Qiaoqiao was stunned when she heard this. Was this the special service she was thinking of? "What special service?" "Oh, what kind of special service could it be?" The proprietress covered her mouth and laughed. As a fellow demon, she naturally would not judge Ruan Qiaoqiao as a child based on her appearance alone. "We have everything here, including young boys, young men, old men, elves, and orcs. I wonder if you are interested, young lady?" She recommended enthusiastically. She just thought about it and felt that this rich lady must have come here to experience the life of ordinary people. Some ordinary hobbies could be recommended to her. "I'm not interested in men. I have more refined hobbies." As she spoke, the blonde put her hands on her hips, looking very righteous. The proprietress was stunned when she heard this, and then she showed an expression of understanding. "Pretty girls, we have more of them here. Although we may not have as many as you have, we have more variety. What type or race do you want? I'll notify someone to go to your room right away." The proprietress took Ruan Qiaoqiao's hand warmly, as if she was meeting a big client. Seeing that the proprietress was serious, Ruan Qiaoqiao blushed and quickly waved her hands. "No, no! I'm really not interested in those." She quickly turned around and left. Heloise followed closely beside her. "What did you say just now?" "Eh?" Ruan Qiaoqiao turned her head and looked at Heloise in surprise. Didn't she understand what that meant?
"No, it's nothing. It's just a greeting between demons. You, an elf, can't understand it!" Heloise nodded and kept this in mind. This was useful information, and she understood the enemy better. The two walked up the stairs and came to the door of the room on the second floor. As the two were about to go in, they suddenly heard a scream coming from the next room. "Ah! No, I'm going to die! Hurry up!"
