"Hmm? Not enough? I bought five sets for Anbao, that should be enough to change. You're still small, you grow fast, buy some when you're taller."

"No, An Bao wants to buy a set for all the uncles to take back! Uncles will definitely look good in them."

An Bao explained with an embarrassed face.

Meng Chao and Yun Jin twitched the corners of their mouths, somewhat helplessly.

What is this little puff doing right now?

They are in another world now!

A parallel world!

Are they here to "weather the storm"? Or are they refugees looking for safety?!

Please respect the fact that they are fugitives being pursued right now, okay?

But the little dumpling surprisingly treated this hunted situation like a tourist trip, even wanting to bring souvenirs back?

If this is really a trip, then it's definitely the most dangerous one yet, probably as terrifying as that MB...

But...

Under Anbao's hopeful gaze, Meng Chao couldn't bear to refuse and simply nodded. "Okay! I'll take you there when I have time. And the sweet potato cakes next door are pretty good too. You can bring some back for your uncles to eat. Anyway, it's all your own money."

"Really? Thank you, Mengchao gege!" Anbao exclaimed happily, clapping her hands in thanks.

Those eyes shone so brightly, like thousands of stars, making it impossible to resist.

Yun Jin's lips twitched beside him, and he let out a sigh.

He thought Meng Chao would complain and refuse, but he didn't even have a principle at all!

"Then, when things are settled, I'll go with you to buy souvenirs, okay? Buy a lot, after all, this is a small world. Things here we don't have there, and there must be many rare things."

"Mmm mmm mmm! Brother Yunjin is so good!"

Anbao happily tapped his little head and thanked Yunjin.

Yúnjǐn immediately burst into laughter.

Give me a hug!

He doesn't have any principles either!

As long as An Bao is happy, it's like the sky would fall for her to play with!

Meng Chao watched Yun Jin roll her eyes and didn't say anything more. He directly laid out twenty sheets of paper and said, "Here, these are the devil's portraits I got from them."

Looking at the twenty sheets of paper, both Anbao and Yunjin were stunned. Sure enough, they were all pictures of the contestants!

And among these people, there were none of those mages. In other words, their guess was correct.

"Guess who's still alive now?" Meng Chao saw Yun Jin and An Bao's surprised expressions and asked meaningfully.

Yun Jin looked up, then glanced at the portrait and blurted out, “Could it be that Fourth Brother Yin Yang Shi?”

"Yes, them."

Meng Chao nodded, putting away the rest of the paintings and leaving only the portraits of Hizuki Shizuka and the others.

Suddenly, everyone fell silent.

If this were to happen to anyone else, they would immediately go and find their allies.

But...

If it were the Island clan…

Working together is really something that needs to be reconsidered.

It doesn't matter if they'd be willing to team up with them, even if the Shimazu family was willing to cooperate, they wouldn't trust them!

In the last round, wasn't it Ishimura designed by Shimazu Yukinori that almost killed Zheng Zhong?

They thought that it was already merciful of Shimazu Yukinori not to beat them up, and they would even team up with them?

Besides...

The previous match was quite strange, it seemed like the Ishizaki Yutaki team was well-prepared, and this round it's the mage's turn to be ready...

Is there any connection among them?

Or, could it be that the remaining dozen or so contestants have been murdered, and only Shimabukuro Yutaka and his group remain alive? Is there a conspiracy at play here?

Could it be that the Ishimitsu Yukinori and the magicians are working together, and this whole thing is just a ploy to trick Anbao into falling for their trap?

If Anbao finds Himura Kenshin and the others, will they immediately attack them?

And that's not all.

The other contestants were so easily captured and killed. Is it possible that they were also betrayed by Shimazu Hiroki and his group?

I can't imagine, once these ideas took shape, they became increasingly chilling.

"Now...what should we do?"

Now even Meng Chao was a bit at a loss, rubbing his temples with a headache.

Yun Jin sat in silence, her expression heavy with contemplation.

Only Anbao seriously raised his head and asked, "Why must we find the Shimazu Yukiki team? Can't we beat those mages ourselves?"

An Bao's eyes were very sincere at this moment.

She truly didn't understand what Yúnjǐn and Mèngchāo were worried about.

Meng Chao and Yun Jin were stunned, they looked up at An Bao and couldn't help but ask: "An Bao, mages are very powerful, there are five of them, we only have three, can we really beat them?"

"Why not? An Bao is very good."

Anbao frowned, her little face filled with displeasure.

Humph humph, is anyone unaware of the amazing things An Bao does?

But only five mages!

Can't Anbao still beat them?

They looked at each other and suddenly seemed to understand.

Yes!

They seem to have overthought things!

No matter what kind of schemes or tricks the other side is up to, as long as we have absolute strength, there's nothing to be afraid of!

"Good! Anbao! Let's pack up, we'll head to the capital tomorrow and take them down!"

Meng Chao suddenly felt a surge of vigor. He patted his chest and, with eyes blazing with fighting spirit, extended his hand.

"Get them!!!" Yun Jin shouted along with Meng Chao, pressing her hand down on his.

Anbao looked at Meng Chao, then at Yun Jin, raised her little hand, and intertwined it with theirs. She chirped in a sweet voice, "Done!"

Anbao and his companions wasted no time. They went straight to the local livery stable, rented a carriage, and set off on their bumpy journey.

Fortunately, this small town wasn't too far from the capital city, so they arrived at the city gates within a day.

The carriage driver didn't follow Anbao and the others into the city. He took his payment, laughed heartily, and drove away directly.

And as soon as Anbao and his men got out of their carriage, they saw on the city walls, hanging there, dozens of dried-up heads!

Everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but widen their eyes in disbelief.

"These people are..."

"There they are, the contestants!"

Meng Chao and Yun Jin looked at each other, both seeing anger in each other's eyes!

After all, hearing about something and actually experiencing it firsthand is a completely different thing!

Those contestants did nothing wrong, yet they had to suffer such a fate because of those wizards' evil intentions!

Although these contestants had no connection to Anbao and his group, and they didn't even know each other, the fact that they were all part of the same world weighed heavily on their hearts at this moment.

"No, we can't leave them hanging here! We have to take them back!" Yun Jin gritted her teeth and said.

"Alright! Since we're here, let's just tear through this day!" Meng Chao agreed, feeling a surge of excitement in his chest at that moment.

An Bao nodded, learning from the two of them, and called out in a milky voice, "Cheers!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, An Bao immediately took the lead and charged out.

Meng Chao and Yun Jin saw this, without hesitation, followed up directly.

Each person unleashed their full power, pinching the seals in their hands and conjuring up gusts of hurricane-force wind!

The soldiers guarding the city felt something was wrong and shouted urgently to stop them: "Stop them! Stop them!"

But An Bao and his companions were faster, cutting through the ropes that held the heads.

A few individuals, each carrying several heads, were surrounded by a group of soldiers.

"Huh? They can't fight, can they?" An Bao said, tilting his head as he carried the severed head, looking a little embarrassed.

"We can't kill them, we can't beat them, we have to charge out!" Meng Chao smiled and replied.

"That's right! A bunch of blind fools, beating them up wouldn't amount to anything!" Yun Jin let out a cold snort, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction.

These soldiers, though not the masterminds, were also accomplices in wrongdoing! What's a beating?
