"Could he have been sent by Tiger Beast City?"
After a moment's thought, Qiao Xixi quickly dismissed the idea.
'If Tiger Beast City sent someone, it'd either be to gather intelligence or to capture us.'
'But that male didn't try to hide or act discreetly. And when he saw me, he showed no intention of attacking.'
'That means neither of those was his goal.'
"I've already had them go catch more Long-eared Rabbit Beasts. That's what he's been stealing to eat."
"Are you planning to use the Long-eared Rabbit Beasts as bait for a trap?"
Jin Ling nodded. From their last encounter, he'd gotten a rough idea of the other's capabilities. A conventional trap would almost certainly fail to catch him, so this time, he planned to try a different method.
Afraid she would worry, Jin Ling reassured her, "Don't worry. We'll catch him."
Qiao Xixi nodded. "Okay."
Qiao Xixi suddenly sniffed the air. "Huh? What's that burnt smell?"
