Chapter 256: Her Racial Perfume Is... Crocodile Lan?

"Crocodile Lan!"

Miss Shu Nan shouted, glaring fiercely at Lin Yun.

Lin Yun: "???" She opened her mouth, her eyes filled with surprise and doubt. Was her racial perfume identity Crocodile Lan? Was that right? Shouldn’t the racial perfume have given her a female identity? How had she suddenly become Crocodile Lan?!

Lin Yun felt doomed. This young lady of the giant rat tribe was definitely going to cause trouble. Damn it, why had the monster-repelling potion stopped working at this moment?! Lin Yun turned her head and glanced at the corner of the wall. Very well. Bai Yu and those two brats had already run away.

Lin Yun: "..." You just wait! If I don’t punish you when we get back, I’ll change my surname to yours!

Miss Shu Nan stormed toward Lin Yun. The look of surprise and uncertainty on Lin Yun’s face reminded her of how she had been caught watching the commotion from the shadows! This made her, as a young lady from a wealthy family, even angrier. Hadn’t he said he liked her? He had locked her in the basement, and now he secretly let her out in the middle of the night to make her face those monsters. Did he want to see her make a fool of herself? They were mocking her, the noble lady of the giant rat tribe, for becoming a prisoner for a day. Was this what Crocodile Lan meant by "liking"? Miss Shu Nan’s disgust for Crocodile Lan increased even further.

Lin Yun had no idea what Miss Shu Nan was thinking. If she had known, she would probably have called her crazy for imagining all sorts of wild things. Although Crocodile Lan was not a good person either, Miss Shu Nan’s wild guesses were even more dangerous.

While Miss Shu Nan was walking toward her, Lin Yun turned around and ran. If they stayed there any longer, this person might go completely insane. Lin Yun finally understood: Miss Shu Nan was someone you had to humor, otherwise she would go crazy. It was best to run away. But Lin Yun’s running away only made Miss Shu Nan even angrier.

"Go! Bring her back to me!"

Miss Shu Nan took off a necklace from around her neck, with a bone whistle hanging from it. She blew gently, and the sound captivated the minds of the monsters present. The monsters then remembered who the giant rat in front of them was. So, spurred by the sound of the bone whistle, they immediately pounced on Lin Yun.

As Lin Yun ran, she did not forget to look back to check the situation, and naturally she saw what Miss Shu Nan had just done. So the giant rat tribe was connected to these monsters. Lin Yun expressed great interest in the whistle. Her eyes darted around. She could chat about it with Bai Yu every now and then, and perhaps she could also chat with the elves. She also enjoyed causing trouble for the giant rat tribe.

But these monsters ran pretty fast. Lin Yun took a speed-up card from her backpack and crushed it without hesitation. Her speed suddenly increased, and she quickly shook off the monsters chasing her.

Bai Yu and the two little ones had already retreated to the edge of Fairy Tale Town and were waiting when Lin Yun gave them another hand signal. Soon, the two people and two beasts reunited and ran toward the Fairy Tale Forest.

As for Miss Shu Nan? She was furious when the monsters told her they had not caught Crocodile Lan. Crocodile Lan must have given her this lesson because he thought she did not like him, right? Recalling Crocodile Lan’s unusually fast speed, Miss Shu Nan narrowed her eyes after calming down. She knew that after Crocodile Lan had gotten her out of the giant rat tribe’s prison, that bastard Shu Bei would definitely try every means to pin the crime on her. Even if she came out of the basement now and returned to the giant rat tribe, it would make no difference. She would only be walking into a trap. Her dear younger brother had been at odds with her from the very beginning, and they had fought each other openly and secretly. Now that she had gone through all this, Shu Bei was itching to kill her. Once she returned to the giant rat tribe, Shu Bei was probably already prepared to let her die.

No, she could not go back now. But where could she go? Miss Shu Nan had calmed down, and her mind was racing. She thought for a long time but could not come up with a good idea. Miss Shu Nan could only sigh and search for food around her to fill her stomach. However, she did not stay in Fairy Tale Town. Crocodile Lan had locked her up here and then released her, and she did not know what his purpose was. She did not want to stay with that villain! After eating and drinking her fill, Miss Shu Nan had the monsters escort her away from Fairy Tale Town.

...

"What did you say?! Really?!"

When they returned to Lin Yun’s courtyard, Lin Yun told Bai Yu what she had just seen. Bai Yu was very shocked.

Lin Yun nodded. "It’s true. The bone whistle in Shu Nan’s hand really seems to be able to control monsters."

"...If Shu Nan has a bone whistle that can control monsters, then surely the others must have them too?!"

Bai Yu could not even imagine what kind of connection those monsters that appeared at night had with the giant rat tribe. Although she had suspected it before, she had dismissed the doubts because she lacked crucial information or evidence. But who would have known... So what kind of experimental subjects were those old guys in the giant rat tribe’s hands?

"All right, let’s not think about that too much. Aren’t we still going to the giant rat tribe’s territory? Let’s rest enough and then we’ll go."

Yes, what they were up to was not over yet. Since Shu Nan had already come out of the basement, and given how familiar Shu Bei was with her, catching Shu Nan would not be difficult. Of course, they had to inform Shu Bei. Lin Yun patted Bai Yu on the shoulder, saying that now was not the time to think about so much. She always believed that the giant rat tribe’s secrets would eventually be revealed.

Bai Yu sighed. "Shall we hurry and set out?"

The two went out again and ran toward Monster City.

After seeing Bai Yu’s original form, Lin Yun fell completely in love with it. A white swan! It was huge! A gorgeous white swan! Lin Yun also expressed her great liking for those large, outstretched wings.

[Host, don’t you have wings too? Why don’t you fly yourself?]

Lin Yun, who had already climbed onto the back of Bai Yu’s white-feathered form, suddenly calmed down. Oh, right. She had forgotten that she already had a pair of corpse butterfly wings. Lin Yun scratched her head, glanced at the white feathers beneath her, and continued sitting there with a clear conscience. Never mind. Since someone was carrying her, she was in no hurry to fly.

The system: [...]

It was already late at night, and most of the city’s residents were fast asleep, so no one noticed the swan flying in the night sky. Bai Yu, along with Lin Yun and the two little ones, quietly entered the giant rat tribe’s territory. They made very little noise, and no one noticed. Because she had been here before, Lin Yun was quite familiar with the place.
