Chapter 1181: Chapter 374 Attracted Big Trouble_4

Especially since killing someone in such an imperceptible manner was indeed a taboo many would dread. Once anyone grew suspicious of her, particularly the Emperor Huian with his subtly guarded attitude toward her, she felt her life would likely be over.

Xuetuanzi quickly understood Mo Yan’s meaning and became agitated too, cursing at the huddled Owl, "You’re nothing but trouble, unable to control your own claws. I’ll chop them off right now."

As he spoke, a flash in Snail’s eye unleashed an invisible blade shooting towards the Owl without mercy.

The Owl, terrified, trembled all over. In the second before the invisible blade reached it, it scurried behind Mo Yan. Still, its wing, too slow to hide, was clipped of feathers, which floated down one after another.

Mo Yan was startled and quickly embraced Xuetuanzi, who had already flown behind her and was intent on cutting off the Owl’s claws completely. She persuaded, "Since it has already happened, even if you cut it into minced meat now, it won’t help the situation. Instead, we should think of a solution together and see how to deal with the big trouble that may arise."

Xuetuanzi, caught in a fit of rage, had taken it out on the Owl. Pacified by Mo Yan’s words, the fire in his belly slowly subsided, but he still spoke harshly to the Owl, "For Yanyan’s sake, I’ll let you off this time. Make another dumb mistake like this, and I’ll pluck you and turn you into minced meat to feed Maotuan, he’s been wanting to eat you for a while."

Frightened, the Owl’s human-like eyes darted with fear, and its fluffy feathers tightened again, clearly scared.

With many animals, it was inevitable that one or two would vie for affection, and the Owl was one of them. But in Maotuan’s mind, it was the "legitimate" pet, the enemy of anyone who dared to vie for affection.

Unfortunately, the Owl was categorized as Maotuan’s archenemy. Maotuan had tried eating everything but had never tasted Owl, so it was eager for a taste. Hence, confrontation was inevitable whenever they met, so much so that thereafter, wherever Maotuan was, the Owl was absent.

Mo Yan had no time to mediate the conflict between the two creatures, instead she brooded over what to do next. The situation could ferment into one of two possibilities: the story of "vengeful spirits seeking justice" could continue to spread among the common folk, prompting the Government Office to find some excuse to close the case; or the Government Office could dig to the root of the matter, and if it unfortunately reached ears with hidden agendas, drawing a connection to her, then she would face a tough battle.

After much deliberation, Mo Yan decided to inform Xiao Ruiyuan first. His information network in Jing City was extensive, so if anything happened, he would know immediately, and she could find solutions in time. They could confer on the issue. She firmly believed her brain couldn’t compare with his.

Just as she had finished writing her letter but before she’d had the chance to send it with the Owl, Maomao arrived carrying a letter. The letter contained a brief sentence.

Mo Yan’s vision darkened, and she nearly collapsed to the ground. She steadied herself on the table for a while before recovering. Hurriedly, she stuffed the letter she had written into the canister tied to Maomao’s leg, fed it a peach, and urged it to deliver the message swiftly.

Mo Yan returned to the Space and collapsed onto the fertile black soil, listlessly tugging at Xuetuan’s belly, "Bro Xiao has so quickly associated this murder with me, others will surely do the same. I’m truly in deep trouble this time."
