Chapter 161: The City Lord of Golden Claw City
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At the inner gate of Golden Claw City.
Li Xuan and Xue’er had just walked into the city when Li Xuan looked back and revealed a thoughtful expression.
“Lord Li Xuan, what’s wrong?” Xue’er was curious and could not help but open her small mouth to ask.
“I saw a strange person. The man actually turned into a woman,” Li Xuan said calmly.
“The man turned into a woman?”
Xue’er frowned when she heard this. Then, she thought of something and said anxiously, “Could it be that perverted killer, the Shapeshifter?”
“Hmm? What perverted killer? Tell me the general situation,” Li Xuan was curious.
“Yes, my lord, it’s like this…”
Xue’er quickly told him the information she had just heard.
“So that’s how it is. In that case, he is a Shapeshifter. Regardless of whether it is his level of strength or the ferocious aura he exudes, even if he conceals himself well, he still can’t escape my observation.”
Li Xuan calmly spoke, directly determining the other party’s identity.
“Sir, what does the shapeshifter look like now? Let’s tell the city lord’s manor to capture this evil person first. Otherwise, he will commit evil,” Xue’er suggested.
“There’s no rush. Since the city lord here is in such a hurry, if they can’t find the Shapeshifter, they will definitely come to seek my help. When that time comes, they will be able to obtain even more resources…”
“However, this Shapeshifter might do evil during this period of time. Later on, I will take care of him and imprison him first.” Li Xuan waved his hand and said.
“Yes, yes.”
Xue’er felt that Lord Li Xuan was extremely shrewd and thoughtful. The key was that his strength was strong enough to easily solve problems that others could not solve. Hence, Xue’er admired Li Xuan even more.
“Let’s go and buy some supplies first. This time, buy more oranges. We’ve only eaten them for half a month and we’ve already finished them. It’s too little,” Li Xuan said seriously.
“Okay.”
Xue’er nodded again and realized that Li Xuan really liked eating oranges. Moreover, he had to eat sweet ones. He did not like to eat them even if they were a little sour. He was very picky.
For this reason, all the sweet oranges along the way were eaten by Li Xuan, while Xue’er ate all the sour ones.
“Fortunately, there’s still the Armored Pollution Giant. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to finish so many sour oranges.”
Xue’er muttered to herself, hoping to buy more sweet oranges this time. Otherwise, it would be hard on her and the Pollution Giant.
With this thought in mind, they left and headed to the sales market in the city.
After they left, a soldier ran to the city lord’s mansion and reported this matter, causing the city lord’s mansion to become nervous.
The city lord’s mansion immediately began to make preparations. At the same time, it ordered the soldier to return and call the sheriff to the city Lord’s mansion.
At the city gate, the testing here was still continuing. Many people who were suspected had been arranged to enter the scanning area to carry out a detailed flaw scan.
However, after a long period of testing, not a single person with a problem was detected. This made the sheriff very anxious and his face was solemn.
“We have to find the Shapeshifter as soon as possible, or we won’t be able to give an explanation. Where did this guy go? Why can’t we find him no matter what?” the security officer said gloomily.
“Maybe the Shapeshifter was just talking casually and didn’t have the intention to come to Golden Claw City!” The female security officer said with a twinkle in her eyes.
“No, when this guy said that last time, he harmed the daughter of a base leader and attracted the pursuit of Lord Sword Saint. This time, it’s very likely to be true…”
“After all, the city lord’s daughter is too attractive. Not to mention the Shapeshifter, even we admire her from the bottom of our hearts. Therefore, the Shapeshifter will definitely appear,” the security officer said affirmatively.
“Yes, what you said does make sense.”
The female inspector nodded. The moment she lowered her head, her eyes narrowed slightly.
“Security officer, the city lord’s mansion has summoned you.” The soldier hurriedly ran over and said.
“I understand. It should be about Lord Li Xuan. You stay here and keep an eye on him. I’ll make a trip there.”
The magistrate hurriedly left and quickly ran towards the city lord’s mansion.
After they left, the female inspector gave a few orders, she also hurriedly walked into the city and headed towards her residence.
Back at her residence, the female inspector took out a map of the city and narrowed her eyes as she sized it up.
“I originally wanted to make a move in the next few days, but it looks like I’ll have to wait for a while. Silver Rank is too dangerous.”
When the female inspector thought of the terror of Silver Rank, fear welled up in her heart. She even immediately burned the map and narrowed her eyes as she thought of a countermeasure.
He was actually a Shapeshifter. The reason why he became a female examiner was that no one would think that he was a Shapeshifter.
Originally, he was already confident of victory and was prepared to make a move. However, the appearance of Xue’er and Li Xuan disrupted his plans, causing him to not dare to casually make a move.
This was because Silver Rank was too terrifying. Back then, when he was being hunted down, he had to expend a lot of effort and transform multiple times before he managed to escape under the circumstances where he was extremely lucky.
Since another Silver Rank had appeared, the Shapeshifter really could not afford to offend him.
“However, that red-eyed girl really suits my taste. It’s a pity that there’s a Silver Rank beside her. What a pity. If it was only her, I would definitely play her to death.”
The female examiner’s voice was hoarse as a cruel expression appeared on her face.
“Oh? Are you sure?”
An indifferent voice suddenly sounded, causing the female examiner to be shocked.
Whoosh!
The female inspector’s right hand pulled out a dagger from her waist at lightning speed. With a backhand, she stabbed backward. This action could be said to be done in one go. It was very stable, accurate, and fast.
However…
When the dagger stabbed backward, there was actually nothing behind.
Bang!
An intense pain appeared on the female inspector’s head, and in the next second, she directly fainted, fainting on the ground.
“Not bad, you have quite a lot of battle experience, but it’s a pity that you’re too weak. You can’t even withstand a blow to your head.”
Li Xuan quietly flew in the air, lightly flicking his index finger as he looked at this person with a hint of disdain.
Li Xuan would never let go of such a pervert. As long as he saw a pervert, Li Xuan would definitely get rid of him, regardless of the world.
This was because this kind of person was scum. He was useless to the world and would only bring danger to the world.
Li Xuan hated this kind of person as much as he hated human traffickers.
Crack! Crack!
Li Xuan easily broke the female inspector’s legs. Then, he grabbed one of her hands and pulled her away like a dead dog.
During this process, the female inspector’s face was stuck to the ground. She was dragged away by the friction.
A few minutes later, Li Xuan and Xue’er rented a small courtyard in the residential area and threw the female inspector into the cellar. Then, they fell into a silent wait.
It was because Li Xuan knew that the city lord of this city would definitely come to visit him and ask him to help find the Shapeshifter.
Three kilometers away, the city lord of the Golden Claw City brought the sheriff and many gifts to the residential area in a hurry. The city lord’s face was full of solemnity.
“City lord, do you really want to ask Lord Li Xuan to help? The cost of a Silver Rank is not low,” the sheriff said worriedly.
“There’s no other way. Shapeshifters are too hard to catch. Even if I give you another month, can you catch a Shapeshifter?” Golden Claw City’s city lord asked seriously.
“This…”
The sheriff was silent, unable to say anything to refute because he really could not do it. Even one of the top ten experts, Lord Sword Saint, could not catch a Shapeshifter. How could a mere sheriff like him catch a Shapeshifter?
However, the sheriff thought that although Li Xuan was a Silver Rank, it would be very difficult for him to capture a Shapeshifter, so he said again.
“However, even if Lord Li Xuan is a Silver Rank, he might not be able to capture a shapeshifter. After all, even Lord Sword Saint failed.”
“No… I don’t expect Lord Li Xuan to capture the Shapeshifter.. I only hope that Lord Li Xuan can protect my daughter for a period of time and scare the Shapeshifter away,” the city lord said solemnly.
