Chapter 178 It's No Coincidence (2/2)
Reading Settings
Without his playmates to fight and bicker with, Xiaobai was so bored he was practically growing mold.
It rolled around on the kang (a heated brick bed), its bushy tail sweeping against the mat, its dark purple eyes darting around, radiating a strong signal—this mouse wants to go out and play!
Ruan Tang was amused by its lively antics.
She didn't hold it back; the little thing was very clever, and ordinary people couldn't catch it at all.
She took out a stack of bright yellow talismans from her spatial storage and stuffed them into Little White's paw.
"Here, use the invisibility talisman and the speed talisman sparingly." Ruan-Tang tapped its little head and earnestly instructed, "Going out to play is fine, but don't cause trouble, and most importantly, don't get discovered, understand?"
"Squeak!"
Mission accomplished!
Little White barked excitedly twice, its two tiny mithril paws clutching the talisman like a precious treasure.
It first skillfully slapped an invisibility talisman on itself, and its furry body instantly faded into the air.
Immediately afterwards, another Swiftness talisman was activated.
A barely perceptible breeze darted out from under the door, and Little White vanished in the blink of an eye.
Yan Yu watched this scene without saying anything, then turned and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.
The sounds of pots and pans clattering soon filled the air, creating a lively, bustling atmosphere.
At this moment, the invisible Little White is experiencing the joy of flying.
It was like an invisible shadow, instantly disappearing into the howling snow outside.
The power of the Swiftness Talisman turned the surrounding houses and trees into blurry lines rushing backward, but its sensitive little nose, glowing with golden light, was still able to accurately detect the faint scents in the air even at high speed.
Target: the educated youth settlement!
It heard everything clearly in the space just now: that woman named Shen Yishan also had a jade pendant and made a deal with that wicked woman Jia Ximei!
The treasure-hunting mouse's professional ethics mean it will never let go of any clue related to "treasure"!
We soon arrived at the row of low houses at the educated youth settlement.
Xiao Bai twisted his body and slipped silently through the crack in the door.
In the female educated youth dormitory, a complex smell of cheap face cream, sweat, and firewood smoke wafted out.
Little White wrinkled its precious little nose in disdain.
It remembered Shen Yishan's scent; that woman always had a delicate, sweet smell that was easy to recognize.
It quickly locked onto Shen Yishan's bed.
The blankets were folded fairly neatly, and a few long hairs lay on the side of the pillow.
Little White jumped up, pried open the pillow with its paws, and sniffed it carefully.
No.
The cool, spiritual aura that was unique to the jade pendant had completely vanished.
Not giving up, Xiao Bai crawled into Shen Yishan's small suitcase and turned it upside down.
Apart from a few fairly fashionable clothes and a few books, it was completely empty.
It seems the deal is complete.
Just as Xiaobai was about to retreat, its nose suddenly caught a very faint, yet strangely familiar scent.
It smells like that wicked woman, Jia Ximei!
Xiao Bai's dark purple eyes lit up instantly.
Following the scent, it found a small white porcelain bottle under Shen Yishan's pillow.
This is the taste!
It's exactly the same as the one on the previous sandalwood box!
Without any hesitation, Xiaobai stuffed the small porcelain bottle into his dimensional storage pouch.
With this, it won't be afraid of not finding that bad woman!
After finishing its business, Xiaobai was about to leave when suddenly its little ears twitched, catching a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy coming from the male educated youth dormitory next door.
Although very faint, it definitely has the scent of jade.
Adhering to the noble principle of "plucking feathers from a passing goose, and not leaving empty-handed like a mouse," Little White silently slipped into the neighbor's house again. (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
