The wind chime on the door was rang, announcing the arrival of a new guest.

The tall and strong boss with a dark face and a full beard had just kicked an unreasonable drunkard in the butt when he saw the beautiful figure at the door.

The young girl in the red cape stood at the door of the crowded tavern with her small basket, as pretty as a blooming lily.

The girl smiled and asked, "Is there any room left?"

Facts have proved that in front of beautiful women, even sloppy drunkards want to show some image.

The boss coughed and said, "Of course, pretty girl, where do you want to sit?"

"Here are the buttered bread and bitter ale you ordered." When the proprietress Bunny saw the girl smiling and thanking her, she couldn't help but ask, "Hey, kid, are you alone? Where are you going?"

The girl answered her obediently: "Yes, I am going to attend the prince's wedding."

Boonie laughed out loud: "So that's how it is. Now that's how I know about this. I heard that the princess is a commoner girl. She is so lucky to be able to wear those shoes!"

Boonie said, "I know what's in your heart as young girls, but I have to tell you, if you go there directly, you'll probably only see heads. People at that time can be described as the sea." She patted her heart as if frightened.

Boonie added, "Unless we can attend the ball held in the palace, we can clearly see the prince and princess. But that is only for nobles. We can only see the parade of floats."

Zhao Xi was stunned. She really didn't know about this situation.

However, she quickly asked, "Is there no other way?"

Boonie hesitated: "Yes, there is, but it's difficult."

Zhao Xi smiled sweetly, her voice soft but firm: "Please speak."

"An invitation letter from a great noble and a unique gift doesn't sound easy to come by."

Zhao Xi's thoughts were interrupted. She looked up and saw Mr. Elf sitting in front of her, his chin supported by one hand. His pair of deep blue eyes were like the sea in the morning mist, beautiful and dreamy.

Zhao Xi subconsciously glanced around and found that no one was looking at them, so she knew that she was the only one who could see the elf.

Mr. Elf smiled, obviously because of Zhao Xi's reaction.

"Want to make a wish?"

"No," Zhao Xi refused with a smile, "This shouldn't be too difficult for me."

Xie Sui raised his eyebrows. He would only take action at the most important moment. He understood deeply that excessive protection was the fastest way to break new buds.

After taking a bite of bread, Zhao Xi subconsciously took the wine and drank it. It was water.

The golden wine was like pure amber, flowing through the elf's fingertips and finally into his mouth.

After a symbolic tasting, Xie Sui commented: "It tastes rough and spicy, so don't drink too much."

Putting down the wine glass, Zhao Xi was about to reprimand Mr. Elf when he turned into water again and flowed into her necklace. He said lazily, "I'm sleeping. Call me if you want to make a wish."

A willful elf. Zhao Xi condemned him in his heart, took the last bite of bread, and stood up to pay the bill.

She had just heard guests at the next table discussing: a two-meter-tall beast that seemed to be able to speak appeared in the nearby town of Kas.

With brisk steps, Zhao Xi walked out of the tavern with her small basket and went in the direction that Bunny had just pointed her to: a unique gift... I wonder if the skin of this beast will do?

Passing by the town, there is a large field of rapeseed flowers. It seems that the residents make a living from this.

"Out-of-towner? What are you doing here?"

Zhao Xi was stopped by a female voice.

Zhao Xi turned around and saw a girl in a white and blue cloth skirt walking out of the rapeseed field. She had brown curly hair and a white headband. Her skin was fair with freckles. Her eyes were bright and firm. She was holding a book in her hands. At first glance, she looked like a smart and rational girl.

Zhao Xi didn't answer because she didn't know why the girl asked her.

Obviously Zhao Xi's silence made the girl hesitate, so she took the lead and said, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else. My name is Rui Bei'er, and I'm from a small town."

"The town has been a bit uneasy lately. If you don't have anything urgent to do, you'd better leave quickly." Rebelle said kindly.

Zhao Xi smiled: "Is it the beast that speaks human language?"

Rebelle's face suddenly became uncomfortable, "Beast? Well, yes."

Zhao Xi said, "My name is Xi Lun'er." This was considered a polite response to Rebel's words just now.

But Zhao Xi had no intention of talking to a stranger whom he had just met, so he turned around and walked into the town.

Seeing her like this, Rebel hurriedly followed, "Hey, listen, I'm not kidding, that beast is really scary, he's almost twice as tall as you!"

"How do you know?" Zhao Xi stopped and asked, "Have you seen it?"

"I..." Before Rebel could finish her words, she was interrupted by a loud voice.

"My friends, a monster is lurking around our home. How can we just sit there and wait for death? Let's pick up our weapons and destroy him tonight!"

A young man stood on the table, his hands raised to encourage. He was surrounded by a group of young men of similar age, all with eagerness to try written on their faces.

"Oh my God!" Rebelle's attention was drawn, anger rose on her face, and she clenched her fists and walked towards the man.

"Kaxiu! Do you know what you are saying? You are sending them to their deaths!" Rebel shouted.

The man named Kaxiu retorted: "Rebel, don't exaggerate! I'm protecting our home!"

Rebel: "Stop talking nonsense! Don't think I don't know your purpose!"

A look of guilt flashed across Kaxiu's face.

But he immediately restrained himself and continued to quarrel with Rebel. In the end, Rebel lost, and Kashu proudly announced the hunting plan for tonight.

Zhao Xi took everything in, and finally fixed his gaze on Rebel who was leaving.

Rebel must know something. It seems that she came at the right time today.

Night soon arrived, and coincidentally, a thunderstorm arrived. Under the roaring thunder, fear could not help but remain on the faces of Kaxiu and his companions. Zhao Xi shuttled through the forest, and she secretly followed Kaxiu and his companions all the way.

But they did not retreat. Something was supporting this Kaxiu. Zhao Xi had already taken off her red cloak and put on a black one. Even so, the rain still caused her a lot of trouble.

The water drop necklace on her neck flashed, and the cold rain seemed to ignore Zhao Xi.

The unexpected help made Zhao Xi stunned, and then he secretly curled the corners of his mouth.

"Found it! Found it!"

Kaxiu and the others suddenly shouted excitedly and rushed forward as if they saw prey.

There happened to be a flash of lightning in the sky, and Zhao Xi also saw the "monster" surrounded by them.

It's not an exaggeration to call him a monster. He has sharp bristles all over his body, and his clothes look like they're about to burst. His hind legs are bent like a dog's, and his tall figure is twice as tall as Zhao Xi. His head looks like a wolf's kiss, but his eyes are filled with the same pain as a human's.

They attacked him with the knives and axes they had in hand.

Zhao Xi had been watching carefully from the side. The battle ended with the beast injuring Kasu and escaping.

A group of people surrounded Kasu worriedly and did not chase the injured and fleeing beast for a while.

This is Zhao Xi's chance.

"Boom!" The thunder was deafening. Zhao Xiruyu's face was terrifyingly calm. Following the blood trail, she finally caught up with the beast.

As if expected, Zhao Xi saw Rebelle.

She knelt in front of the fallen beast, covering its wounds with her bloody hands. Her face was full of tears, and she kept crying, "Why? Why did it turn out like this? Don't die, Simon!"

The beast stretched out its hand, as if wanting to hold her hand, but saw Zhao Xi's figure. It suddenly tried to get up from the ground, but it tore the wound and howled in pain again.

Rui Beier was also frightened and looked over. When she saw a dark shadow, her face turned pale. Especially when she saw the axe in Zhao Xi's hand, she almost fainted.

Zhao Xi thought she was going to run away, but unexpectedly, Rebel stood up tremblingly and stretched out her hands to block the beast.

"I beg you, don't kill him, he didn't do anything bad, he won't hurt anyone, let him go..." The girl's voice was like a cornered animal. It was unclear whether it was tears or rain on her face, she looked very embarrassed.

"What is your relationship with him?" Zhao Xi asked without moving.

Rebel was stunned for a moment before she could see the face of the person in front of her. It was the beautiful girl from the daytime. Seeing hope, she quickly said, "I know him! He has never hurt me, and I like him!"

The girl's voice was firm, and she didn't hesitate at all when she said she liked him.

"Rebel..." a hoarse voice came, and Zhao Xi saw the beast speaking, "You, don't be like this, I know."

"No," the girl said decisively, "I'm not comforting you, I just like you, Simon!"

She turned to look at Zhao Xi: "I don't know why you want to kill Simon, can you please let him go."

Zhao Xi: "I want his skin."

The girl's lips were as red as blood, and her smile was as beautiful as a flower: "Why do you think I should kill him? Don't stop me, or I will kill you too."

Rebel was frightened.

"Don't hurt her, I'll give it to you." Simon said. His claws were extremely sharp, and Zhao Xi believed that if he hadn't held them, Kaxiu and his group would not be able to hurt him at all.

At this time, Simon was tearing his fur violently.

Rebel's face was extremely pale, and her frail body seemed unable to bear anything.

Suddenly, through the sound of rain, a noisy sound was heard, and Kaxiu and the others were chasing after them.

Rebel was already disheartened. In her opinion, there was no difference between being caught by Zhao Xi and being caught by Kaxiu and the others. She gnashed her teeth in her heart, never expecting that this angelic-looking girl could be as vicious as a devil.

"That's enough." Rebel didn't expect Zhao Xi to speak so suddenly. Zhao Xi stepped forward and stopped Simon's movements. He quickly tore off Simon's large piece of clothes and put them on himself. He looked at Rebel with eyes as bright as diamonds and said, "Remember to give me a reward I deserve."

The black cloak drew a beautiful semicircle in the air, and the loud sound of the girl's axe hitting the tree could be heard in half the forest.

"Why don't you run?" Rebel was awakened by Zhao Xi and hurried to help Simon who was lying on the ground.

After staggering and helping Simon up, Rebel couldn't help but look at Zhao Xi's running figure behind her. Simon's weak but smiling voice sounded in her ears: "It seems that we have passed her test."

Rebelle couldn't help but smile.

----

Even with the natural hiding advantage of rainy days, Zhao Xi's seduction did not last long before it was discovered.

She was not panicked even though she was surrounded by Kashu and his group. Rebel and his group should have run far away. As for her, she was not a real beast, so Kashu and his group would not do anything to her. Moreover, she was not a weak person.

"Why a girl?" Kaxiu lifted Zhao Xi's hood and said with gritted teeth: "Who are you?!"

Zhao Xi said innocently: "I'm just a passerby, I don't know why you want to arrest me."

Kaxiu sneered and lifted Simon's clothes with his knife: "Don't play dumb, you are helping that monster. You know him!"

His eyes turned to Zhao Xi's face: "What a beautiful girl, I think you should be happy to help us find that monster."

The sticky gaze made Zhao Xi frown, but soon her hands were tightly grasped. The approach of a stranger made Zhao Xi very uncomfortable, and she rarely hesitated about her decision.

Even if she had just let Simon go, Kashu and his men were so numerous that they would not be able to find them. And she couldn't help Rebel forever. Her temporary kindness could not do anything. She didn't know when she would have another chance to give a unique gift. If she did, she would not be able to attend the wedding and would get nothing...

Zhao Xi's eyes were blank for a moment, and strange and violent emotions surged in her heart: She should have killed Simon directly... killed all the people she hated. But was this really the only way for her to get a unique gift?

Conflicting emotions were tugging at Zhao Xi's heart.

In a trance, Zhao Xi seemed to hear a sigh, and the moist mist seemed to become thicker. The people around him fell down one by one, water droplets emerged from the necklace, and magical elves appeared. Under his eyes as tolerant as the sea, Zhao Xi's heart gradually calmed down.

"Mian Yunji is still here, and I can't bear to betray my original intention." Xie Sui smiled, and put his finger between Zhao Xi's eyebrows, and the golden seal appeared: "You have not been swallowed by the evil intention, Xi'er, your first calamity has passed, but I am more worried."

The greedy beast caused by the failure to obtain what it wants wants wants to possess everything. The person who has experienced it will have incomparable cold-bloodedness and devouring desire, and when he finally sinks, he will become like the legendary Taotie who is so greedy that he devours himself and dies.
