CHAPTER 58: CHAPTER 53: EXOTIC BEASTS BOW THEIR HEADS, HEAVEN BESTOWS A WORTHY LORD!

She saw so many people staring at her, and instead of being nervous, she curiously looked at them, very puzzled about what they were doing standing there.

The Marshal of the City Guard Army took a step forward and shouted at the little girl, "Little girl, where are you from?"

The little girl scanned the crowd, searching for her master.

But there were too many people.

Her eyes grew weary, yet she still couldn’t find him.

Hearing someone ask a question, the little girl replied, "I’m from West Mountain!"

As soon as she said this, the crowd instantly became agitated again.

From the West Mountain.

They confirmed it was wild game!

Now they just needed to confirm the identity of the little girl.

The Marshal was also concerned about this question.

Ordinary folks were just thinking about the wild game, but the Marshal was considering more.

Everyone overlooked one thing.

It’s over a hundred miles from West Mountain to Shengjing City.

Along the way, there were several counties, towns, and more than a dozen villages.

How did a little girl travel such a long way with a group of magical creatures?

The Marshal also noticed.

Although the little girl and the group of magical creatures looked extremely disheveled, they had no bloodstains on them and showed no signs of having fought or engaged in a Tearing Bite with anyone.

Clearly, they had traveled calmly all along the way.

This was very unusual!

The Marshal cast his eyes around, keenly sensing something out of the ordinary.

Then, he moved suddenly, jumping down directly from the city wall.

"Little girl, don’t be nervous."

The Marshal first made his identity clear: "I am the Marshal of Shengjing City’s defense army. I have full authority here. Answer my questions carefully, and I’ll ensure your safety."

Since following Zhao Yi, the little girl had gained much broader horizons.

She had even ridden a giant flying eagle, so seeing someone jump down from a city wall seemed no different to her.

She nodded and said, "Ask away."

The Marshal had been observing the little girl’s expression all along.

He saw that she seemed to pay him no mind and was even more convinced of his suspicions.

This little girl has someone backing her!

The Marshal smiled, pointing to those somewhat intimidating magical creatures, and asked with a smile, "Little girl, what’s your name, and are these creatures your trained pets?"

The little girl shook her head, "My name is Little Poison, they’re not my pets, they’re my friends!"

Friends?

The Marshal was taken aback.

This title doesn’t establish the relationship!

Sure enough.

On the city wall, someone with sharp ears heard the little girl’s answer and immediately began to question.

"Marshal, those creatures are just the little girl’s friends, not her trained pets, so they shouldn’t be considered her property, right?"

Others responded one after another.

"Right, friends definitely don’t count as property, are your friends your property?"

"If my friend dared to say I was his property, I’d definitely flip out!"

"I wished my friend was my property, but he definitely wouldn’t agree."

"Marshal, the little girl already said those creatures are just her friends; you should just give the order!"

The Marshal ignored the noise behind him.

Those bastards were watching the commotion from a distance, not afraid of making it bigger.

If he really gave this order, his end would be near.

Just now, the Marshal had carefully observed these magical creatures.

He found that these magical creatures had unique appearances, distinctly different from ordinary magical creatures, and they appeared full of vitality and close to humans.

Such magical creatures are usually called auspicious omens.

One magical creature is an auspicious omen.

What about a group of them?

A sudden flash of insight struck the Marshal’s mind, and with a heartfelt insight, he loudly declared, "Why have you come to Shengjing City, young girl?"

The Marshal’s voice was so loud, it instantly silenced all the discussions.

The originally noisy city gates quieted down immediately.

All eyes were on the little girl, guessing her purpose.

The little girl instinctively said, "I came to find my master!"

As soon as she said it, the little girl suddenly felt something was wrong.

The space in front of her seemed to twist slightly.

The voice was still hers, but the words came out differently!

"My friends told me that the Crown Prince Zhao Yi of the Great Xia Dynasty is an unparalleled wise ruler. They invited me to come and present treasures together! Wishing the Crown Prince longevity beyond measure, and the Great Xia Dynasty with eternal prosperity!"

The little girl blinked.

She heard her voice spreading further and felt very strange.

But she was smart.

Not only did she not explain anything, but instead, she jumped off the Plum Deer known as "Big Red."

Then, she resumed her old skill.

Bowing!

The little girl had been bowing a lot lately, and her bowing technique had long been honed to perfection.

She knelt on the ground, facing the direction of the Crown Prince’s Mansion, and kept bowing without pause.

Thud, thud, thud!

The little girl’s bowing was not only hard but also loud.

The top of the city wall was dead silent.

Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at the bowing little girl.

On the vast city wall, only the sound of her bowing echoed.

Gulp!

Suddenly, someone swallowed a gulp of saliva.

Just as he was about to speak, his eyes widened abruptly.

Because a scene beyond everyone’s understanding unfolded.

Behind the little girl, those magical creatures all knelt in unison, then followed her in bowing again and again!

Hiss!

The city wall burst into sounds of gasping one after another.

The old speech official from the Imperial Censorate was first stunned when he saw this, and then his face turned red.

"Auspicious omen!"

"The magical creatures bow; heaven bestows a wise ruler."

"This is a huge auspicious omen indeed!"

The Marshal heard the old speech official’s shouting, cursing in his heart.

Old geezer, stealing his credit!

The Marshal heard the little girl’s words and immediately confirmed his suspicions.
