Lu Xingshi suddenly opened his eyes.

He was panting heavily, his forehead was covered with fine sweat, the tenderness in his dream was too real, he stroked his lips with his hand in a trance, it seemed that there still remained the warmth that had been rubbed by his lips, tongue and fangs, and his heart even surged There are a few wisps of regret and nostalgia that feel lost.

But soon, Lu Xingshi quickly woke up.

The lingering dream was gone, and the real reality made him feel as if he had been poured with cold water.Even if he didn't lift the quilt, he knew what happened. This kind of body reaction made Lu Xingshi angry and annoyed. He had never lost his composure like this before, but he didn't know who to blame, so he could only curse in a low voice.

"Damn."

Lu Xingshi glanced at the time, it was just five o'clock in the morning, but he was no longer sleepy, sat on the bed for a while, turned over and got out of bed, and went to the bathroom again.

There is definitely something wrong.

After coming out of the bathroom, Lu Xingshi thought.

It's not surprising for a full-blooded adult male to have that kind of dream, but it was the first time he saw a person with a clear face in that kind of dream, and the other person was actually... someone he knew.

This situation is absolutely not normal.

He has to admit that he has some interest in the little liar, but it is only limited to a kind of appreciation for evenly matched opponents. It is absolutely impossible to say that he has any fondness for the little liar.

Even if there is indeed a precedent for the combination of humans and dark creatures in this world, Lu Xingshi never thought that he would become one of them. Not only did he never think about it, he even sneered at it——

Huge racial differences, can fragile feelings be bridged?Aren’t there few examples of people signing a lifelong contract on impulse, only to find out how terrible the racial gap and differences are after the passion fades, and finally turn against each other and even die forever?

Of course, Lu Xingshi is also not interested in combining with humans.

From the day when he could hear the voice of his heart when he was a child, he understood how hypocritical human beings are. Couples who are loving on the surface have long since found new loves in private; Inheritance; the lover who cared for her in every possible way has actually been secretly having an affair with her stepfather for many years...

There are too many of these unscrupulous secrets, which have long obliterated any illusions Lu Xingshi had about love.

So even though his father and queen mother repeatedly urged him to decide on the candidate for the crown princess as soon as possible, Lu Xingshi ignored it.

He's not interested in finding someone to act in a fake love scene, and his perfectionist style makes him absolutely not allow any hypocritical stains in his life, even if it's just a show, it's absolutely not allowed.

Lu Xingshi believes that his mind is firm, his heart is like still water, and he will not be bound by any desire or emotion.

So he couldn't understand why he would have such absurd dreams, it was simply unimaginable.

His Royal Highness thought about it seriously for a while, but still couldn't figure it out, so he could only shake his head and put the question aside for the time being.

-

Back in the real world, Lu Xingshi had breakfast, arrived at the conference hall on time, and began to deal with today's business.

After reading the documents for a while, the guards came to report that Chief Muken of the Royal Inspection Legion was asking for an interview, and he was waiting outside the meeting hall.

"Let him in." Lu Xingshi said.

Lu Xingshi received the news last night that the Royal Inspection Corps had completed the investigation of the space cracks in the outskirts of the imperial capital and repaired all the space cracks. The whole process went smoothly without any accidents.

The chief came here today to make a detailed summary report. After Lu Xingshi checked and found no mistakes, he would issue an unblocking order and restore the normal order of entering and leaving the imperial capital—this is the usual administrative process.

Chief Muken of the Royal Auditor Corps is a tall middle-aged man. He was once a genius and spiritualist who caused a sensation in the imperial capital. He was elected as the chief of the Royal Auditor Corps at a young age. He has served in this position for more than ten years now. Years, it can be said that he has rich practical experience.

The Royal Examiner Legion used to be directly under the leadership of His Majesty the King, but His Majesty the King has gradually delegated power due to physical reasons, so the leadership of the Royal Examiner Legion was transferred to the future successor of the empire——Prince Lu Xingshi.

Although he is also a high-level spiritual power user, Muken dare not have the slightest contempt for Lu Xing, because he is very clear: the other party's spiritual power level is actually much higher than his own, and strength is the right to speak, even if the other party does not have the title of the prince of the empire. Just relying on the strength of a spiritual power user, it is still an existence that can easily crush oneself.

"See Your Highness for a humble position."

Muken saluted respectfully, took out a volume of papers from his arms respectfully, and presented the compiled action report to Lu Xingshi.

This investigation in the outskirts of the imperial capital was the first operation of the Royal Inspection Corps after the replacement of the immediate boss. Muken naturally wanted to perform well in front of the new boss. It was indeed clean and beautiful, and a satisfactory answer sheet was handed over.

The action report was more than 20 pages long. Lu Xingshi flipped through it while listening to Muken's brief introduction.

"A total of 12 space cracks were discovered in this operation, of which 10 were on the primary scale and 2 were on the intermediate scale. All of them have been properly dealt with."

Muken knew that Lu Xingshi had been away for a long time, and he might not know much about the past situation of the imperial capital, so he added.

"Three years ago, there were spatial cracks in the outskirts of the imperial capital, but there was no overlap with the cracks this time. At that time, there were only three primary cracks.

Now it has increased to 12, and there are even intermediate-scale cracks. We speculate that it should be caused by major changes in the dark world in the past few years, which caused the instability of the space boundary, but is it the high-level cracks over there? It's hard to say that the dark group is deliberately causing trouble. "

For ordinary people, dark creatures are evil creatures from different dimensions, and the same is true of the official propaganda.

But only a few people know that the dark creatures actually come from a place called the dark world.

In terms of spatial location, the human world and the dark world actually overlap. It is only because of the different spatial dimensions that they cannot see each other.The so-called space cracks are just because the staggered space dimensions are suddenly corrected to the same frequency, causing dark creatures in another space dimension to appear in the human world.

It's like two radio channels with different frequency bands, which originally do not interfere with each other, but due to some malfunctions, the sound of another channel will occasionally cross frequency.

In the past, this "cross-frequency" phenomenon could be regarded as a random accident, but in the past century, more and more evidences have shown that the spatial boundary between the two worlds is becoming more and more unstable.

Moreover, there are also higher races among the dark creatures. They covet the superior living environment and vast and rich resources of the human world, and they plan to invade them.

Because of this, all interstellar countries are full of vigilance and defense against the existence of dark creatures. Except for a few neutral countries, most of them are hostile.Muken knew very well that when His Majesty the King was in power, his attitude towards dark creatures was quite gentle, otherwise there would not be so many nobles who would dare to take the risk to keep dark pets.

But now it's Lu Xingshi's turn to be in power. Everyone knows the attitude of this interstellar famous killing god towards dark creatures.Because of this, when the Inspection Legion checked the space rift this time, all the dark creatures that appeared.

No matter what the opponent's strength rating is, they will all be killed without mercy, and no one will slip through the net.The so-called effective conduct, they are also acting according to the preferences of their bosses.

"Hmm." Lu Xingshi asked casually while browsing the report in his hand, "Is there anything unusual about the dark creatures that invaded this time?"

"The number of dark creatures that invaded this time was not many, only thirteen, and no new species were found. However," Muken paused slightly, "Some species that should not appear near the imperial capital have also appeared this time. For example, red nao worms, carnivorous species, and mankaka beasts."

Lu Xingshi was startled, and raised his head abruptly.

"Mankaka beast?" He changed his previous casual state, and his eyes sharpened suddenly.

"The dark creatures that broke in through the space crack this time, are there Mankaka beasts?"

Lu Xingshi's stern and cold tone surprised Muken, and he said hastily.

"Yes." The Chief of the Inspection Legion reported truthfully, "We were also very surprised, so after killing them, we checked them in detail, and finally confirmed that it was not our wrong judgment, and they were indeed Mankaka beasts."

Because the spatial coordinates of the dark world coincide with the human world, the distribution of species there is also regular when it corresponds to the human world.If Mankaka beasts invade, they will mostly appear in some remote wetlands.

But this time it actually appeared in the outskirts of the imperial capital, which is indeed a bit strange. Muken thought that His Highness the Crown Prince paid special attention to it.

But Lu Xingshi was thinking about another thing.

The red marks burned by the venom on the blood youth's back flashed in his mind. At that time, he thought that the other party was in a wetland desolate star, so he encountered the mankaka beast.Lu Xingshi even planned to check the relevant information and record the locations of the desolate stars where the Mankaka beast appeared one by one. When he has time in the future, he will investigate in detail to see if he can accurately pinpoint the location of the little liar.

Unexpectedly, Mankaka beasts appeared in the outskirts of the imperial capital...

"Such important information, why didn't you report it earlier!" Lu Xingshi slapped the report in his hand on the table heavily, and forced himself to ask, "What's the time? When did you discover the Mankaka beast?"

Muken was a little confused.

It is indeed a bit strange that the Mankaka beast appears abnormally, but similar situations have happened from time to time in recent years, and it is not considered "important information" at all. How dare they bother His Royal Highness because of such a trivial matter.However, the other party had already expressed displeasure, and Muken didn't dare to refute, so he replied immediately.

"The time of initial discovery seems to be three nights ago."

"like?"

When he saw Lu Xing, his face was gloomy and his tone was bad. Muken knew that his answer did not satisfy the other party, and he broke into a cold sweat immediately.

As the general dispatcher of this operation, Muken focused more energy on the more threatening space cracks. Although Mankaka beasts are dangerous, they are strictly selected spiritual power users.

It was nothing more than an existence that was killed immediately after discovery. Muken didn't pay much attention to it at all, so he couldn't answer some details.

"I really can't remember the detailed situation." Muken knew that he had neglected his duty, and immediately made amends. "But there are detailed records in the summary report. Your Highness, you can read it later..."

Although he was extremely dissatisfied with the Chief of the Inspection Legion, Lu Xingshi had no time to worry about it, so he immediately flipped through the report, and quickly found the relevant records of the Inspection Army's extermination of the Mankaka Beast.

According to the description in the report, the Mankaka first appeared three nights ago, at about 1:[-] a.m., when they heard the loud sound of landslides, they rushed to the scene and found that a cave in the jungle had collapsed Yes, two medium-sized mankaka beasts were crushed under the ruins, as if they were greatly stimulated, they kept waving their tentacles, splashing venom everywhere.

The members of the Inspection Legion quickly controlled the two beasts with their mental strength, and killed them neatly.The whole process went smoothly, and nothing unexpected happened, so the records in the report only had these three short lines.

Lu Xingshi read these three lines over and over again, while recalling them quickly in his mind.

I found out that the little liar was injured two days ago. If he encountered the mankaka beast three nights ago, the time would be completely correct; Thinking back now, it also looks like the scratches from being hit by the landslide...

Could it be that the little liar is not in the remote desolate star at all, but has always lived near the imperial capital?Even that night, he was in that cave outside the suburbs?

Muken has been paying attention to his immediate superior nervously. He saw the young prince's eyes flickering, his face was cloudy, and he didn't know whether it was joy or anger. After a while, the other party suddenly closed the report in his hand and stood up abruptly. .

"Muken, you lead the way." He ordered in a cold voice, "I'm going to the outskirts of the imperial capital."

Mu Ken didn't dare to neglect, and quickly responded: "Yes, Your Highness."

Lu Xingshi took a few steps outside, then turned around suddenly.

"I remember, the psychic in the Inspection Legion who has the ability to go back in time?"

"Yes." Muken bowed and replied, "There are two psychics with the ability to go back in time in the Inspection Legion. Do you want them to go with you?"

"Well, let them go to the collapsed cave on the outskirts together."

Lu Xingshi raised his head and looked out the window to the northeast with deep eyes, which was exactly the suburban jungle described in the report.

"I'd like to take a look," he slowly closed his hands hanging by his side, as if he was about to grab something, and clenched tightly.

"What happened that night, in that cave."

-

When Lu Xingshi took people away from the prince's palace, Su Ke was having breakfast with his colleagues in the restaurant.

Even after a whole night's rest, he was still a little sluggish—to ask is heartache, to ask is to regret, to ask is to miss [-] million.

What an opportunity last night!Xiao Tiantian took the initiative to let him suck blood, and even gave him two chances. This is a beautiful thing that I dare not dream of!

It's a pity that I don't live up to it.Woohoo.

Not only did he not get any blood, but he was also forcibly kicked out of the space.Although he was a bit puzzled at first, Su Ke thought about it, maybe it was because his last blood-sucking action was a little rude, which made Xiao Tiantian feel unhappy before driving him out.

There's nothing wrong with that, after all, I'm just red-eyed, and it's normal to make the other party unhappy with such a rough behavior.

Just thinking that since the other party is angry, she probably won't have the chance to enjoy the love blood in the dream again, Su Ke is so painful that she can't breathe. No matter how strong his psychological quality is, he will inevitably feel a little listless at this time.

"Xiao Su, what's wrong with you?" Qiu Ming was the most sensitive to Su Ke's state. Seeing that he was absent-minded, he couldn't help asking, "You are not in a good mood in the morning. Is it because you are not feeling well?"

"Oh, no." Su Ke forced a smile, and pushed the plate in front of him, "I just don't have much appetite."

It's past the breakfast time now, because the normal breakfast time happens to be the busiest time in the back kitchen, and they only have time to sit down and have staff breakfast together when the restaurant is empty.He Duo'er was also sitting with Su Ke and the others, she looked at the clean plate in front of the young man, and said softly.

"Xiao Su, you eat very little every time." He Duo'er worried, "You are growing up, how can you only eat one egg for breakfast? At least add another glass of milk."

Su Ke's face froze: "No need, I'm full after eating these, and I'm already an adult, how can I grow my body."

"You're just a kid. Boys will continue to grow when they reach the age of 20." Mrs. Susan is also sitting at this table. She boldly puts two large glasses of milk "Duang" in front of Su Ke, and raises her eyebrows at him. , "Give it to my sister to drink, don't leave a drop."

Su Ke: "..."

He looked at Qiu Ming pitifully for help, and Qiu Ming also suppressed a smile to comfort him: "Xiao Su, just drink it, it is really good for your body, and your body is indeed too thin, you grow tall and strong Isn't it better at all?"

Although I'm a bit short, I can jump up and hit you all one by one!

Su Ke silently cursed, he looked at the two glasses of milk, and sighed heavily.

Although he can eat human food, he doesn't like the smell of milk very much, so he can hide every time, but unfortunately, he was bumped into by Mrs. Susan today. But it's over.

Under the gaze of three pairs of eyes, Su Ke reluctantly picked up a glass of milk. He suppressed his sense of smell to the lowest level, held his breath, and began to pour milk into his mouth.

Just halfway through the drink, I suddenly heard a commotion from around, and many employees in the restaurant got up one after another, talking excitedly.

"Is that the car of His Royal Highness?"

"Yes, yes, His Royal Highness is leaving the palace today?"

"Wow, can you see His Royal Highness the Prince himself here?"

More than half of the kitchen staff are newcomers, because they have never witnessed the "tragedy" of the palace steward being punished and tortured. Most of the newcomers still have awe and longing for the high-ranking and powerful Crown Prince. Today, they heard that the Crown Prince appeared. Immediately they crowded to the window excitedly, scrambling to look out.

Su Ke was still fighting with milk, so naturally he didn't have time to join in. Holding his breath, he managed to drink two large glasses of milk, and then he dared to free his sense of smell and take a big breath.When he turned his head, the people gathered by the window had dispersed in disappointment, sighed and sat back on their seats.

"It's too far away, I can't see clearly at all."

"Forget it, as long as you can continue to stay in the palace, you will have a chance sooner or later."

"I find it very difficult, His Royal Highness seems to seldom come out and walk around..."

Mrs. Susan shook her head when she heard the chatter of these newcomers, and said in a tone of vicissitudes of life: "Ignorance is a blessing."

He Duo'er also nodded in agreement, and looked at the newcomers with pity: "I hope this blessing can last longer."

"Is it so exaggerated?" Su Ke could not help laughing when she heard the meaning behind the words of the two, "His Royal Highness is scary? The kind that will be disillusioned as soon as you meet?"

"It's not scary..." Mrs. Susan glanced around and lowered her voice, "It's extremely, special, very, very, terrible."

Su Ke & Qiu Ming: "..."

Qiu Ming was obviously a little scared, but Su Ke became more and more curious about the owner of the palace. He knew that Mrs. Susan and He Duoer, the old employees, must have seen the prince himself, so he asked: "What kind of person is the prince?" people?"

"Isn't it good for us to talk about the master casually?" He Duo'er said weakly.

"We're not slandering him." Su Ke knew that He Duo'er was very afraid of His Royal Highness, the kind that would tremble when he mentioned it, but his curiosity was strengthened because of this, "Let's just discuss the merits of His Royal Highness. Well, there’s nothing wrong with blowing master’s rainbow farts, right?”

He Duo'er was convinced, so she stopped talking.Mrs. Susan on the side nodded and spoke first.

"His Royal Highness, he is very handsome, the most handsome and beautiful man I have ever seen."

Su Ke said "Wow" to show her appreciation: "What else?"

"Gone."

"Clam?"

"There's nothing else to say."

Su Ke: "..."

So there are no other advantages besides being handsome!

"The main reason is that we don't know him very well." Mrs. Susan shrugged with a smile, "Your Highness, he has been away from the imperial capital for seven years, and he never came back even during the New Year's Eve. Very few people talk about his situation."

"Is that so..."

Su Ke couldn't help being greatly disappointed, He Duo'er hesitated to speak, and finally mustered up the courage to whisper.

"One of my godmothers knows a little bit. She used to be an etiquette teacher for His Royal Highness for a while."

The eyes of the three people on the table were all aimed at He Duo'er, she was stunned for a moment, and continued to speak softly under the encouraging eyes of everyone.

"Well, His Royal Highness was only ten years old at that time. It was not long before his spiritual power awakened... My godmother said that His Highness was very smart at that time, and he could learn everything quickly, but his personality was a bit strange, not like children of the same age at all. So naive."

"Maybe all gifted children are like this?" Su Ke thought of several gifted teenagers he had met, and they all had very weird personalities. It's normal for such a powerful person to have a withdrawn personality."

"But my godmother said that His Royal Highness is not simply withdrawn, but..." He Duo'er frowned slightly, as if she didn't know how to describe it.

"Well, anyway, when she gets along with His Royal Highness, she always feels inexplicably frightened, especially when she looks at His Highness, she will be very uncomfortable...not only her, but everyone who served His Highness at that time would have this kind of feeling. Feeling, I don't know if His Royal Highness also felt everyone's fear.

So he didn't get close to people, and he didn't have any playmates around him, and he didn't even have a personal servant. He was always alone. "

There was a brief silence on the table, and no one doubted what He Duoer said, because even today, there is no close contact with His Highness the Crown Prince.

After a while, Su Ke chuckled lightly, breaking the frozen atmosphere: "Sounds very interesting, I want to see this "scary" Highness even more. "

"My little one, you think too simply." Mrs. Susan shook her head, "Don't mention us ordinary palace people, haven't you noticed that even His Majesty the King and His Majesty the Queen have never been to the Crown Prince's Palace? I heard that they have been very Worried about the marriage of His Highness the Crown Prince, but even if he was so worried, he never went to talk with His Highness the Crown Prince in person, maybe they are just like everyone else, they are also afraid..."

Mrs. Susan suddenly fell silent, realizing that this topic had crossed the line, and it was not appropriate to continue talking about it.He Duoer immediately coughed, and cleverly changed the subject: "I don't know what kind of princess a person like His Royal Highness would find?"

Although Su Ke still wants to hear more, but he can also wink, knowing that it is not appropriate to continue talking, so he echoed He Duo'er and said: "Yeah, I am also very curious, I don't know what our future mistress will do. Who is it?"

"It's not ruled out that it will be a male master." Qiu Ming said firmly, "Although there is no precedent in our empire, it is not uncommon for royal families in other galaxies to marry men."

Because of the innovation of science and technology, it is very common for same-sex unions to conceive children. In Su Ke's original world, same-sex marriage is even more common in this world, but the royal family of the Nuo'an Empire has not had such a thing. Precedent only.

Regarding the candidate for the future crown princess, it has always been a very hot topic on the Internet. As soon as this topic was brought up, even the young girls who led the table actively joined the discussion.

"I think the future princess should be a descendant of a certain nobleman?"

"Not necessarily, I think it is more likely to be the princess or prince of the neighboring country?"

"Anything is possible, but it will definitely have the same status as His Highness, and he will be in the right family."

"Yes...%¥#...¥#%..."

"Hmm, that makes sense... #%¥¥%..."

Su Ke sat on the side eating melons happily, interjecting a few words from time to time. In the lively gossip atmosphere, everyone happily ended the breakfast.

-

The outskirts of the imperial capital.Deep in the jungle.

Lu Xingshi stood in front of the ruins of the cave, looking solemnly at the mess of earth and rocks everywhere.

Besides Muken and two spiritual powers with the ability to go back in time, there are more than a dozen other members of the Inspection Legion—they all participated in the siege of the Mankaka that night, and were called by Muken on site.

Lu Xingshi was annoyed by the doubtful voices of these people, so he went straight to the point.

"So, when you came here, those two Mankaka beasts were already in a state of berserk?"

Everyone didn't understand why His Highness the Crown Prince was interested in the siege that night, but when faced with Lu Xingshi's question, everyone was sincere and fearful, knowing everything.

"Yes, Your Highness." The leading squad leader replied respectfully.

"What's the reason for their fury?" Lu Xingshi looked at him sharply, "Have you done any investigation?"

The team leader hesitated and couldn't answer, but Lu Xingshi had clearly heard his inner voice——

[The mankaka beast is brutal by nature, it is normal to go berserk and angry, this needs to be investigated?Never before! 】

Lu Xingshi's face became more serious, and his voice was cold: "You didn't investigate at all, and left directly after killing them?"

The team leader felt that the other party was looking at him as if he was looking at a dead person, so he quickly knelt down and accepted the punishment in fright. The others also lowered their heads in fear under Lu Xingshi's cold eyes, not daring to vent their anger.

But Lu Xingshi could hear that although these people were terrified on the surface, they were actually somewhat dissatisfied in their hearts, especially since they were airborne bosses. They were afraid of power and did not dare to make mistakes, but it did not mean that they would be convinced by themselves.

Lu Xingshi has seen this kind of situation a lot. If he can't even clean up these messes, he doesn't have to be the prince of an empire.

"Retrospectively reproduce the scene at 12:25 that night." Lu Xingshi ordered lightly.

Two psychics with the ability to look back in time came out immediately. This kind of backtracking ability is actually very limited. It can be used up to three times a day. The space and time range of the backtracking are also very limited. The longer the time, the blurrier the image of the backtracking.

The two team members pinpointed the approximate location where the mankaka beast was discovered that night, mobilized their respective mental powers, and began to trace back.

On the ruins of the cave, a black light curtain appeared indistinctly.

Because the light in the cave was dim at that time, and the time elapsed was a little longer, the picture that was traced back was also pitch-black, and only the stone walls of the cave and the rows of blood-red eyes hanging upside down on the top of the cave could be barely discerned——

"Vampire bats?" Someone whispered, "Is this their lair?"

Lu Xingshi did not speak, but kept staring at the black light curtain.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the cave was very quiet, but at around 12:30, a faint light lit up in the cave, and it was fleeting, and when the light faded away, everyone saw——

A slender figure appeared out of thin air and landed lightly on the ground.

All the members of the Inspection Legion who saw this scene showed expressions of astonishment, only Lu Xingshi remained calm, but his eyes became more and more burning, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

really.

Although the backtracking image is very blurred and he can't see the opponent's appearance at all, but after fighting so many times, even if he just glanced at the silhouette in the dark, Lu Xingshi could immediately recognize: this is exactly the person he was looking for.

The figure that appeared out of nowhere in the black light curtain did not move at first, but just stood there quietly, as if bowing its head in thought.

After about 5 minutes, he raised his head and was about to walk out of the cave. At the same time, a black shadow came from behind and stabbed straight at the back of the opponent's neck.

All this happened so quickly that everyone thought that the other party must be hit. As a result, the figure dexterously turned sideways, avoiding the thick and long tentacle attacking dangerously.

In an instant, more violent tentacles covered the sky, and the vampire bats at the top of the cave flew out of the cave in shock, making the scene even more chaotic.

Even though the members of the Inspection Legion present were all experienced action fighters, they couldn't cope with the mankaka beast's tentacles, but the figure in the light curtain avoided all the attacks with lightning-fast and flexible skills, and finally He was safe and sound, and retreated from the body.

"So fast!" Someone exclaimed.

They finally understood why His Highness the Crown Prince was facing an enemy.This person, no, shouldn't be called a "human". Although the opponent has a human body, his speed and explosive power are far beyond the limit of ordinary humans - this must also be a dark creature!

The confrontation between the figure and the Mankaka beast lasted only a few minutes. When he pierced the Mankaka beast's eyes with his bare hands, the retrospective picture became more and more chaotic. The huge tentacles smashed the roof of the cave, and the rocks fell down one after another. , Layers of soil mist were stirred up, and the last thing everyone saw was that dexterous figure flashing at the entrance of the cave, and then completely disappeared in the jungle outside the cave.

The backtracking ended, the light curtain disappeared, and the scene returned to its original ruins.

Chief Muken's lips trembled, his knees softened, and he knelt down in front of Lu Xingshi.

"Your Highness, this time I seriously neglected my duty." He lowered his head deeply, his words filled with deep remorse and self-blame, "Please punish me!"

The other members of the accompanying team also fell to their knees in panic. They had long since lost their previous pride and fully understood how serious a mistake they had made: they let go of such a terrifying dark creature without even knowing about it. !

Except for the top race of the dark world, the demon race, which is humanoid, most of the other humanoid dark creatures are not very dangerous.

But after seeing the scene of the other party fighting with the mankaka beast, no one would think that this new dark creature is a soft persimmon that is easy to deal with.

Once this humanoid dark creature enters the imperial capital and mixes with the crowd, the consequences will be unimaginable!

"Everyone will be fined for half a year, and will not be promoted within a year." Lu Xingshi said coldly.

Muken was slightly taken aback. Compared with the serious mistakes they committed, this punishment was an exception. He looked at His Royal Highness in disbelief, and found that the other party was still staring at the place where the backtracking screen disappeared. Those cold golden eyes What surged in the eyes was not fear or coldness, but...a faint smile?

But when the other party turned around, the smile disappeared completely, so that Muken thought that he had misread it before.

The powerful and powerful Crown Prince returned to his former ruthless appearance, and Sen Han's gaze swept across everyone present.

"Find him at all costs," he said.

"But you must not make a big fanfare and scare the snake. He is very cunning and vigilant. All your actions must be carried out in secret. If this matter can be successful, I will not only continue to hold you accountable, but I will also give you the highest level of rewards; but if fail……"

He didn't go on, just snorted coldly, which gave everyone enough shock, and Muken took the lead in bowing his head to express his opinion.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, we will do our best to find out his whereabouts!"

Lu Xingshi gave a faint "hmm", and turned his gaze to the imperial capital not far away.

Finding someone's whereabouts in a metropolis with tens of millions of people is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

But Lu Xing has a premonition from time to time: the day when he and that person will actually meet is not far away.

The cunning prey has finally shown its feet, even if it is only a slight flaw, it is enough for the powerful hunter to take advantage of the victory to pursue and secure the victory.

I don't know what kind of expression that person will show when the net is closed?

Oh, it's really... exciting.

-

Knowing nothing about what happened on the outskirts of the imperial capital, Su Ke, a laborer, was still busy with He Duo'er in the back kitchen.

After getting along for nearly a month, the two of them are now in a very tacit understanding, and they are very happy to cooperate with each other.When they were about to leave work, they washed the last vegetables and sorted them into large baskets.

These are the raw materials that the back kitchen will need to make breakfast tomorrow, and now they will move to the cutting room. This kind of physical work is now done by Su Ke. He Duo'er stays in the vegetable room to clean up, and Su Ke is carrying a big basket. Went to the cutting room.

After working for so long, Su Ke has become acquainted with other kitchen staff. Everyone likes this cute and lively young man. After Su Ke put down his things, he was dragged by several familiar staff to chat for a while before leaving.

He was humming a song, and when he was about to walk back to the vegetable cleaning room, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and his face showed surprise.

He smelled something.

A taste that he has deliberately memorized and has been looking for.

——The big crow he met in the jungle the night he encountered the Mankaka beast.

Unexpectedly, before I had time to look for it, it was delivered to my door?Is it for yourself?
