Chapter 2017: Chapter 2013: The Sudden Appearance of a Woman

"Yes, the dragon’s presence is indeed released from these demon beasts," Ling Xing said.

Tang Zhong immediately looked at the demon beasts and asked, "Are you sure?"

"I’m one hundred percent sure," Ling Xing nodded.

Tang Zhong believed Ling Xing wouldn’t lie, then approached the demon beasts to see what was going on.

But, this is really too absurd, right?

The dragon’s presence is so formidable that after the demon beasts absorb it, there should be some transformation. But looking at these demon beasts now, they appear extremely stupid.

Now they seem listless, just like dead dogs.

After inspecting the demon beasts closely, Tang Zhong turned to Ling Xing and asked, "Are you sure?"

"I’m sure, it’s these demon beasts," Ling Xing quickly replied.

Tang Zhong said, "I feel it’s unlikely; I’ve examined these demon beasts, and they look quite trashy... You could say they only have a trace of this presence, as if they had been with a dragon for a period without receiving any dragon blood inheritance."

As Tang Zhong finished speaking, his pupils widened suddenly. He realized, indeed, if they had been with a dragon, they would carry its presence without necessarily receiving anything like dragon blood.

So it seems these demon beasts should have been with a dragon before.

This circus... Could it be that before, a dragon was caught by the circus and raised together with these demon beasts?

Now, another problem arises; nothing can be found from these demon beasts anymore, and the issue must be investigated among the circus breeders of these demon beasts.

Ling Xing seemed to realize the problem too; she immediately turned and headed out.

Tang Zhong was shocked by her action: "You... What are you planning to do?"

"I’m going out to find someone, capture them, and ask what’s going on," Ling Xing said.

Tang Zhong really wanted to say, dear aunt, can we calm down and please don’t act impulsively.

He immediately blocked Ling Xing and said, "We need to stay calm now, don’t be impulsive; impulsiveness is the demon, you know? For instance, you don’t even know what’s going on with this circus, and if you act rashly, things could go wrong."

"Moreover, you can’t be sure if these demon beasts were here with a dragon; maybe before these beasts were captured, a beast had been with a dragon. Anyway, things aren’t that simple; we need to think carefully," Tang Zhong added.

After walking this road for many years, Tang Zhong had seen too much cunning and was very cautious now.

It’s best not to provoke unnecessary trouble.

Their goal is the dragon; finding the dragon is what matters.

Even though the circus people are like flies to Tang Zhong and Ling Xing, flies are disgusting, and if you touch them with your hand, it will be disgusting as well...

Ling Xing stopped upon hearing Tang Zhong’s words and said, "Okay, I’ll listen to you completely."

"Yes, that’s the way to do it," Tang Zhong smiled, "Let’s leave here and pretend we never came."

"Okay," Ling Xing nodded.

But at that moment, there was a small sound from outside as if someone had entered.

Upon hearing the sound, Tang Zhong became cautious: "Careful, it seems someone is outside..."

Both of them immediately hid. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

At this moment, someone walked in; it was hard to tell if it was a man or a woman, dressed in a motley robe covering their body.

When the person entered, Tang Zhong immediately felt a strong dragon presence, now released from this person; could this person be related to the dragon?

Not sure about the situation now; better not alert the snake.

Tang Zhong restrained Ling Xing, ensuring she didn’t move.

The person walked in, glanced at the demon beasts, then turned back, looking toward the area where Tang Zhong and Ling Xing were hiding.

Tang Zhong saw this and thought the other person knew they were hiding there.

He was about to react.

But then, he saw the person not coming forward as if to leave.

False alarm, they weren’t discovered.

Soon, the person left.

Tang Zhong and Ling Xing emerged.

"Just now, I also felt the dragon’s presence from that person," Ling Xing said.

"Well, maybe they’re often together with these demon beasts, so the presence on them is quite strong now," Tang Zhong replied.

This is the only explanation possible; otherwise, it can’t be explained.

After all, the opponent’s strength doesn’t seem particularly strong.

"Perhaps," Ling Xing pondered for a few seconds before speaking.

At that moment, the door in front of them opened again, and the person who left earlier returned.

This time faced Tang Zhong and Ling Xing directly.

The scene became awkward.

At this moment, Tang Zhong saw what the person really was; it was a woman, with purple hair and seemingly purple pupils. They couldn’t see clearly earlier because of the black robe.

The woman then screamed.

"Ah..."

Tang Zhong quickly stepped forward, reached out, covered her mouth: "We are not bad people, as long as you don’t scream, I will let you go, consider it."

At this moment, the woman’s pupils trembled incessantly but ultimately nodded.

Tang Zhong released her.

"We didn’t intend to come here; we’ll leave immediately. You can pretend we never came," Tang Zhong said.

The woman still didn’t speak, just looked at them.

As if examining Tang Zhong and Ling Xing.

Tang Zhong found it strange; what could she be examining? Looks like just the circus’s demon beast breeder.

"Don’t rush," Ling Xing stared intently at the breeder.

Tang Zhong was about to leave, seeing the actions said, "Is something happening?"

"I want to continue sensing the opponent," Ling Xing said.

Then she went to the breeder’s side, circled around, looked several times, even smelled them.

Tang Zhong felt speechless, saying, "That’s very impolite of you."

"Shut up," Ling Xing snapped.

Then she widened her pupils, looking at the breeder: "You... how can you have a dragon’s presence?"

The woman listened to Ling Xing’s words, surprised for a few seconds.

Tang Zhong felt speechless, reaching out to pull Ling Xing; what’s wrong with this woman, talking about dragons randomly to someone? Not afraid of death?

"Let’s go, let’s go," Tang Zhong urged.

Ling Xing said, "You’re dragging me."

At that moment, the woman who hadn’t spoken finally said, "Are you looking for Little Dingdang?"
