Chapter 7: Returning to the Family
The divine beast has disappeared?
Alice frowned, her heart full of doubts. She raised her hand and tried to use divination magic to search for the trace of the divine beast, but the result only made her more confused. The whereabouts of the divine beast seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious fog, making it impossible to see clearly.
Strange!
Usually, this kind of situation is either closely related to herself or is affected by a powerful external force.
Alice immediately ruled out the first possibility. Then, only the second one remained. The figure of Caesar, who was tall and cold, emerged in her mind. Did Caesar come here to secretly take away the divine beast? Caesar possessed the Purple Star Grand Fate Disk and contained a power so powerful that she couldn't even imagine. The only one who could interfere with her divination was such a powerful being like him.
At this moment, Caesar suddenly sneezed...
Alice saw that the human cultivators in front were starting to search for the divine beast crazily in the Flaming Forest in a carpet-like manner. She immediately lost interest. She had been away from home for two days. If she didn't go back, her grandfather would surely be very worried. She touched the little furball through her black robe and decided to send it out of the inner part of the Flaming Forest by the way.
Alice was just about to turn around and leave when she suddenly heard a voice from behind: "Miss, why are you hiding here furtively?"
Alice immediately became alert and narrowed her eyes to look at the source of the voice. A handsome man holding a folding fan was smiling at her.
Arthur!
The eldest son of the Norby family, one of the three great families of the Augustus Empire, Arthur. At the age of only twenty, he already possessed the strength of a first-order great magician. He was closely related to the third prince Arthur...
"It has nothing to do with you!" Alice said coldly.
After saying that, she was about to leave. However, a sound of breaking through the air was heard, and a folding fan flew towards Alice's back. Alice's eyes became sharp. She sidestepped and leaped lightly to avoid it, and at the same time, she shot several tender green leaves from her hand towards Arthur.
Arthur caught the seemingly powerless leaves with his bare hands without concern. A smile appeared on his handsome face, "Was that trap set by you before too?"
Alice remembered a trap she had set before. It seemed that this Arthur had also fallen into it.
Alice sneered, "So what? Take care of yourself first."
As soon as the words fell, Alice's figure disappeared from the spot like the wind. Arthur was about to chase after her, but the next moment, his face suddenly changed. He quickly threw away the tender green leaves in his hand, but it was still a little late.
"Boom -"
The right side of his body was injured. His right hand kept trembling, and a few drops of blood dripped from his hand. Arthur looked in the direction where Alice had left, his face as gloomy as a black pot. It was the first time he had been played like this. He hadn't been caught in that trap before, but now...
Who on earth was she?
Arthur and Irina and others heard the explosion and rushed over. They saw that Arthur's clothes on half of his body were in tatters, there were obvious signs of injury on his body, and even a strand of hair on his forehead had become scorched yellow. Moreover, his hand seemed to be seriously injured and kept trembling.
"Arthur, how did you get injured?" Arthur asked worriedly. Irina saw his appearance and immediately remembered her own encounter just now.
Irina said affirmatively, "It must be that masked bitch who did it!"
Seeing the doubtful looks of everyone, Irina tried to remain calm and told the story of what had happened. Of course, she omitted some parts that were unfavorable to herself.
"How abominable! Why is she targeting us?" An arrogant young man said angrily.
"Irina, don't be afraid. We will protect you."
Those playboy young men and talented young men who had a crush on Irina showed their sympathy for Irina one after another. They couldn't wait to hold her in their arms and comfort her. Arthur saw so many men looking at Irina with affectionate eyes, and his face became very ugly.
"That woman must know us!" Arthur suddenly said.
"That hidden weapon trap we encountered before was also set by her. She is targeting us on purpose."
Everyone fell into deep thought. They felt that they didn't seem to have offended such a powerful woman.
"Let's not talk about this for now." Arthur said. He looked at Irina, "Where is that little beauty Alice?"
Hearing this, Irina immediately lowered her head and said in a heartbroken manner, "I and Alice encountered a fifth-order magical beast. I fought with all my might. Maybe she thought she was a burden to me, so she left me and went first. We got separated like this. I sent my hidden guards to look for her, but now I don't know where she is either..."
"A good-for-nothing is a good-for-nothing. She actually abandoned her companion and left. Miss Irina, don't be sad for such a person!"
"Right, right. She is not worthy of your deep friendship. It would be better if she died here!"
"Miss Irina, you condescended to be friends with her, but she betrayed you. That little bitch Alice deserves to die."
Everyone criticized Alice one after another and was full of disgust for her. Chu Yunrou held Irina's left hand and said, "Sister Irina, why do you care about that good-for-nothing? She is selfish and not worthy of your sadness."
Arthur nodded in agreement, "Forget about that good-for-nothing."
At this time, Arthur saw the expressions of everyone clearly. He smiled mockingly. It seemed that that little beauty Alice had been killed by this vicious woman Irina. He had always been an admirer of beautiful women. For a peerless beauty like Alice, he naturally paid a little more attention. Of course, it was just attention. He wouldn't get involved in the fights between women.
Arthur took out a first-level healing potion from his storage ring and drank it.
Alice walked out of the inner part of the Flaming Forest, put the little furball in a relatively safe place, and then was about to leave. However, the little furball kept following her like a little tail.
Alice stopped helplessly and said severely, "Remember, the Flaming Forest is your home. Don't follow me anymore, or I'll make you into a roast."
The little furball shrank back in fear.
"Squeak."
After Alice gave the warning, she used magic and left quickly. Her speed was faster than that of a great mage. Half a quarter of an hour later, she finally walked out of the Flaming Forest. She tore off the face scarf, took a deep breath, put her hands on her hips, and smiled as she looked at the sky.
"Miss, is it really you?" A surprised voice rang out.
Alice looked up and saw a delicate girl in a maid's dress running towards her. Alice was suddenly hugged by the girl. She pushed a little uncomfortably, but the girl hugged her even tighter.
Alice: "..."
"Miss, how could you come to the Flaming Forest alone? You haven't come back for two days. The old duke is very worried." The maid Rose sniffed and said with a sob. Behind Rose were a group of the family's guards. When they saw Alice, they were both surprised and relieved.
