Chapter 26 Strange Villa

The leading man stopped and looked at the other with a surprised expression. "What's wrong?"

"I don't know why, but I feel like someone is following us," the man said seriously, glancing back subconsciously. But it was too dark to see anything.

The leading man slapped him on the head and said in a low voice, "Are you stupid? Who would dare to follow us at this time? Unless they don't want to live!"

That being said, the man still had that feeling.

"Am I just imagining things?" the man muttered.

Yuan Muyuan, who was standing not far from them, was also stunned, wondering if the man had sensed something.

"Alright, everyone, hurry up. It's dangerous outside at night. If we can't get there, the boss won't care what happens to us," the leading man said anxiously.

Hearing this, the man didn't say anything more.

Yuan Muyuan initially thought these people were with the evil ghosts and were going to find them. But he didn't expect them to go to an abandoned villa in the wilderness.

Before he even got close to the villa, Yuan Muyuan felt the barrier around it.

Yuan Muyuan was a little surprised. He didn't expect this place to have a barrier!

It seemed that the person living here must be an expert.

Yuan Muyuan originally wanted to follow those people in, but then he thought that if he went in, he would definitely be noticed by the owner of the villa, and it would be bad if he alerted the enemy.

So after some hesitation, he didn't go in and waited outside.

He waited for about half an hour, but no one came out.

Yuan Muyuan was getting a little impatient. He guessed that those people probably wouldn't come out anyway, since it was so late. What could they do if they came out?

So Yuan Muyuan decided to go back.

But just as he turned around to leave, he suddenly thought of something and asked the system, "System, is there any way to keep an eye on this place?"

"Yes, host. You can just get a puppet to stay here," the system responded.

Puppet?

But where could he get a puppet right now?

"Where am I supposed to get a puppet?" Yuan Muyuan pouted.

"Host can spend 1,000 negative emotion points to buy a puppet!"

The system's mechanical voice came again.

Yuan Muyuan couldn't help but roll his eyes, but luckily he could accept 1,000 negative emotion points.

Then, Yuan Muyuan spent 1,000 negative emotion points to buy a puppet.

He originally thought the puppet would be big, but he didn't expect it to be a small paper figure.

"Congratulations, host, the purchase was successful."

As the system's prompt sounded, a small paper figure appeared on the system's screen, covered in talismans.

Damn, is that all it is?

This was completely not what Yuan Muyuan had expected. Most importantly, he spent 1,000 negative emotion points on a small paper figure that wasn't even as big as his palm.

It wasn't worth it!

The system was getting more and more坑爹 (kēng diē - a slang term for "deceptive") and he couldn't even say anything.

Yuan Muyuan helplessly took out the small paper figure.

The moment the small paper figure left the system, it came to life.

"Master, master!" The small paper figure's voice was quite pleasant, a loli voice.

Yuan Muyuan frowned slightly, wondering if this thing was even useful.

"System, are you tricking me? Are you sure this little thing can help me?"

Yuan Muyuan couldn't help but ask the system the question in his heart.

"Don't worry, host. Xiaoyu'er may be small, but it's very useful. Most importantly, it can pass through the barrier here without being detected by the people inside. When the time comes, you can just summon it and it will return directly to the system, so you don't have to come back to find it."

Hearing what the system said, Yuan Muyuan felt a little better. It was good that it was useful, otherwise he would really scold the system.

So the little thing is called Xiaoyu'er?

"Xiaoyu'er, tonight you will help me keep an eye on this place. Can I summon you back tomorrow morning?" Yuan Muyuan said to Xiaoyu'er in a gentle tone.

Xiaoyu'er nodded and said, "Of course, if master has something to do, you can go back first!"

Yuan Muyuan didn't expect this little guy to be so understanding.

"Okay, then I'll go back first!"

After saying that, Yuan Muyuan left.

Yuan Muyuan used Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts movement technique) and quickly returned to Yun City.

At this time, Li Pangpang had also arrived, standing on the city gate with Qi Feng.

Seeing Yuan Muyuan return, Qi Feng couldn't wait to ask, "How was it? Did you see where those people went?"

"I did. They went to a villa not far outside the city. Do you know what that place is?"

In comparison, Qi Feng definitely knew more about the situation here than Yuan Muyuan.

Qi Feng thought for a moment, then said with some surprise, "If I remember correctly, the villa there seems to have been abandoned for a long time. How could anyone be living there? Are you sure you saw them go in there?"

"Yes, and a barrier has been set up around the villa. If I'm not mistaken, the owner of this villa should still be an expert," Yuan Muyuan said with great certainty.

Qi Feng didn't speak, lowering his head to think about something. After a moment, he raised his head and looked at Yuan Muyuan, saying, "Should we go take a look tomorrow?"

It was indeed quite strange that a house that had been abandoned for so long suddenly had people living in it.

Yuan Muyuan didn't answer Qi Feng directly, because he planned to wait for Xiaoyu'er to return and see what the situation was over there before making a decision.

"Let's guard tonight first. As for tomorrow's affairs, we'll talk about them tomorrow!"

Hearing Yuan Muyuan say this, Qi Feng didn't say anything more.

After all, whether they could get through tonight safely was still unknown!

Time passed by, and soon it was the second half of the night.

The fact that nothing had happened in the first half of the night was quite surprising to Qi Feng and the others.

Around one o'clock in the morning, Li Pangpang said with a yawn, "Muyuan, why haven't those guys come to attack the city yet?"

Yuan Muyuan stared at the dark city, and replied in a low voice, "If nothing unexpected happens, they probably won't come tonight."

With such a big thing happening today, Li Moli would probably not attack Yun City for the time being, for the sake of Yuan Xiaoyao.

However, Yuan Muyuan was still a little worried when he thought of the mysterious man who appeared today.

If this mysterious man's strength was above Li Moli's, even if Li Moli didn't come, he might come. So it was better to be careful.

"Ah, why? Did they change their strategy?"
