Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 447: Like Human, Like Demon (1)

"Someone, go quickly and notify the soldiers from each Governor’s Office within the city to hurry and put out the fire," Shao Kang hesitated for a moment, and once he understood, immediately made the adjustments.

"My lord, haven’t all the people from the County Governor’s Office in the Capital City already been called up to guard the city wall? What remains are just some elderly, infirm, and the handicapped," a guard behind Shao Kang reminded him.

Shao Kang furrowed his brows tightly and turned to look at the enemy forces outside the city walls. Seeing no movement from the enemy, he consequently relaxed his vigilance.

"Let’s withdraw a small portion of our men and have them, along with those who have just been replaced, go fight the fire. Be quick and return soon."

"Yes, my lord."

Shao Kang watched as his guard led a group of men away, and a bad premonition instantly surged in his heart. He walked to the other side of the city wall and looked down at the enemy forces below; still no changes. His heart settled slightly at this moment, thinking he might have been overly concerned.

Xiaobai saw a small portion of the guards leave, and with the sky now thoroughly dark, he glanced at the less than a hundred men guarding the gate, rolled his eyes, snickered a few times, and on catlike feet, headed towards the main gate of the city wall and meowed a few times.

The man guarding the city gate heard the cat’s meow, looked down at the snow-white kitten, cracked a smile, and said to a rather skinny companion, "Hey, look, this cat is really pretty."

"Yeah, if this were before, we would’ve definitely caught it and taken it back. Look at its fur, how sleek it is. It might even be worth quite a few copper coins," the skinny soldier said, eyes glistening as he looked at Xiaobai’s fur.

Xiaobai shuddered, staring intently at the skinny soldier, and thought resentfully, ’You dare covet my fur? You’re really courting death’.

Xiaobai squinted his tiger eyes at the skinny soldier for a while, then seemed to think of something. He opened his tiger mouth, his whiskers trembled three times on his face, revealing two sharp little teeth and silently snickered. Suddenly, a puff of white smoke rose up and slowly started to spread around, catching the attention of the soldiers below the city tower. Many were perplexed and walked over to see what was happening.

As the soldiers were distracted by the smoke he had released, Xiaobai quickly slipped underneath their feet and made it to the base of the city wall, where he began to transform his body. From an original size similar to that of a cat, he started to grow gradually, inflating like a balloon.

"Mom, mom look... what, what is this?" The soldiers handling the city wall, who witnessed Xiaobai’s transformation, were so startled that their eyes widened and they began to stutter.

The other soldiers, alerted by the shout, turned their heads and saw the scene unfold. In an instant, all the soldiers were dumbstruck, watching as Xiaobai grew larger and larger, and even the ’king’ character on his forehead becoming prominently visible.

"A tiger, it’s a tiger."

"Run, it’s a tiger!" Someone, who knows who, yelled at that moment, and the remaining soldiers who snapped back to reality, dropped their spears in hand and ran hurriedly off the city tower, scrambling to escape for their lives.

Xiaobai looked disdainfully at the fleeing people, shook his body, and once again became a handsome and elegant young man. He quickly took advantage of the situation and, using his Spiritual Energy, ’creaked’ the heavy gate open.

Shao Kang, on top of the city wall, heard a shout and before he could inquire about the outcome, heard the familiar sound of the city gate opening. Shock raced through his limbs, his scalp tingled, and he leapt down from the more than ten meters high city wall.

Upon closer inspection, he saw no guards, but instead, a supremely beautiful young man leaning on his shoulder against the heavy gate.

"Who are you?" Shao Kang’s face colored like a smashed eggplant, his eyes venomous as he glared at Xiaobai.
