A gust of wind blew by, gently lifting the girl's three thousand strands of hair.

She was wearing a fiery red dress and holding a snow-white little fox in her arms.

Although she had a veil on her face, it still couldn't hide her unparalleled temperament.

"Is this Tianrao City?" Yun Luo looked at the empty streets and frowned slightly.

Although Tianrao City is located in the border area, its area is not smaller than Zhongzhou City. I didn’t expect that it has become so destitute now.

At first glance, there were dead leaves everywhere, and every house had its doors closed, making it look like a dead city.

There were pools of blood on the ground from time to time, some of which had not even completely dried up.

It is conceivable that something terrible happened here not long ago.

The moment Yun Luo stepped into Tianrao City, he felt a cold breath coming towards him.

And in the air, it seemed as if there was an invisible giant net, covering the entire Tianrao City tightly.

Yun Luo narrowed his eyes slightly, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

Tianrao City is the origin of the poisonous people. Their lair must be somewhere hidden here.

She came this time to settle things with Yun Rourou.

As long as we can find the poisonous man’s base camp, we should be able to find Yun Rourou.

"Let's find a place to rest first and then take action at night." said the little fox in his arms.

"Yeah." Yun Luo nodded slightly and walked forward.

She could feel that there were pairs of eyes staring at her in the houses along the way, but they had no ill intentions, so Yunluo did not pay much attention to them.

Soon, she arrived at the largest inn in the center of Tianrao City.

Although the door of the inn was closed, Yunluo could feel the presence of living people inside.

"Knock knock knock!"

Yunluo raised his hand and knocked on the door.

For a long while, no sound came from inside.

Yun Luo patiently continued to knock: "Is anyone here? I'm here to stay."

Yunluo said as he knocked on the door.

Finally, there was movement inside.

The shop door was opened a crack, and the shopkeeper was a middle-aged man over 40 years old. He first looked at Yun Luo outside the door warily from inside, and then he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was a young girl.

"Little girl, what are you doing here? Leave quickly before it gets dark," the shopkeeper kindly reminded.

Yun Luo smiled slightly and said, "Boss, I'm here to stay at the hotel."

"Stay in a hotel?" The shopkeeper was a little surprised. "Who would stay in a hotel now? Haven't you seen what Tianrao City has become? Little girl, listen to me and leave before dawn, otherwise it will be too late."

The shopkeeper said this and was about to close the door.

Yun Luo stretched out her hand to hold the door of the shop at the right time, pretending to be weak and pitiful and said: "Boss, I have been traveling all day, I am tired and thirsty. Besides, it will be dark soon, and there is no village or shop nearby. Where can I go? You can't bear to see a girl like me sleeping in the wilderness, right?"

"This..." The shopkeeper was still a little hesitant.

"Don't worry, boss. I will leave immediately tomorrow morning."

The shopkeeper thought about it again and again. Seeing that she was a delicate little girl, who looked weak and powerless, it would be very dangerous if she stayed outside at night.

He still felt a little reluctant, so he finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, then, come in first."

As he spoke, he opened the door. After Yun Luo went in, he stuck his head out and looked outside vigilantly, then quickly closed the door.

"Little girl, it's not peaceful in Tianrao City at night. You must stay in your room and don't come out, okay?" the shopkeeper warned worriedly.

Yun Luo pretended to be curious and asked, "Why is it so uneasy?"

The shopkeeper sighed, "You'll know when the night comes. Just listen to me and don't come out."

Yun Luo nodded: "Okay, I won't go out, but I don't quite understand what happened here and why it has become like this?"

The shopkeeper sighed and said, "This story started a few months ago..."

At that moment, the shopkeeper briefly recounted the whole story.

Yun Luo's eyes flickered slightly: "You mean, the first poisoner was found in the City Lord's Mansion?"

"Yes." The shopkeeper nodded.

Yun Luo's mind turned and he already had a guess in his mind.

It seems that she really needs to go to the City Lord's Mansion tonight.

If her guess was correct, the poisonous man's base camp was most likely hidden in the city lord's mansion.

"Little girl, the guest rooms upstairs are all empty. You can go up and choose any one to stay in. I was planning to leave Tianrao City and go back to my hometown at dawn tomorrow, so I didn't prepare any food in the inn. There are some steamed buns in the kitchen. If you are hungry, just make do with them. You must leave as soon as the sun rises tomorrow. After all, you can't stay in Tianrao City any longer."

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he shook his head, sighed, and was about to leave.

Just then, there was a sudden noise at the door, followed by a series of rapid knocks on the door.

"Is anyone there? Open the door quickly, we want to stay in the hotel!" The speaker was a clear female voice, but the tone was not very friendly, and there was an invisible sense of arrogance.

The shopkeeper was stunned and stopped in his tracks as he was about to leave.

I was a little confused as to what was going on today and why so many people came all of a sudden.

You have to know that his inn has had no business for more than half a month. Not to mention people, not even a fly has come.

Moreover, the people of Tianrao City had already run away or walked away, and the only ones left were the elderly, the weak, and the sick. It was already his limit that he could hold on until today.

I had originally planned to close the store and leave early tomorrow morning, but who would have thought that so many people would come on this last day.

“Bang, bang, bang!” The knocking on the door continued, and the woman’s voice became sharper: “Is the person inside deaf? Come and open the door quickly. I know there are people inside. If you don’t come out, I’ll tear down your store!”

After hearing this, the shopkeeper had no choice but to walk over.

As soon as the door opened a crack, it was suddenly pushed open with great force.

"Stop hesitating! Are you deaf?!" A group of five people walked in, led by a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a goose yellow dress.

As soon as she came in, she started to scold the shopkeeper, her pretty face full of sarcasm: "Can you afford to delay our business?!"

The shopkeeper was an honest man, and seeing this he could only smile and say, "Yes, yes, gentlemen, are you going to stay at the hotel?"

"Nonsense! Why are we here if we're not staying in the hotel? Hurry up and get us something to eat, and then prepare a few rooms for us!" the girl said in a bossy tone.

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper declined immediately: "I'm sorry, my dear guests, but our shop is closed today. Please find another place."

Upon hearing this, the girl's eyebrows immediately raised in displeasure: "What did you say!?"
