Back in Dragon Beast City, the cool evening air shattered as Xuan Long and An Mo finally returned to the estate.
The moment Xuan Long crossed the main gate, his sharp snake instincts screamed that something was horribly wrong.
The entire courtyard was thick with panic, and Su Qinglan was standing in the center, her face drained of all color, her hands trembling violently.
"What happened?" Xuan Long asked, his voice low and heavy, instantly sensing the distress in the air.
Shi Feng stepped forward, his eyes filled with immense guilt. "Yue Yue... she's gone. She was taking a nap in the backyard, and she vanished."
The world seemed to stop.
Xuan Long's emerald yes shrank to tiny vertical slits. "What do you mean, vanished?"
"We searched every inch of the house, the yard, and the surrounding streets," Rong Ye said, his voice tense and grim.
