Even though Zhao Yi flew away, the tale of auspiciousness has just begun.

The City Guard Marshal confirmed his suspicions without a hint of hesitation and immediately summoned the Defense Battalion to escort the mystical creatures into the city.

This sudden great fortune that fell from the sky.

He must seize it, even if it costs his life!

Xiaoxiao felt a bit anxious as she saw her master leave and realized she was surrounded by so many soldiers.

But with so many eyes on her.

And all of them were her close friends who left home with her.

She knew that no matter how panicked she was, she must not show it.

Xiaoxiao looked at the Marshal in front of her.

She remembered the Marshal had said that he was in charge here.

Xiaoxiao had no idea what to do now, so she could only wait for the Marshal to make a decision.

After the Defense Battalion cleared the passage, the Marshal turned back to look at the perplexed Xiaoxiao, his dark face breaking into a wide grin.

"Young Lady Xiaoxiao, the Crown Prince is waiting for you at the Crown Prince's Mansion. We are to escort you and the others…"

At this point, the Marshal paused involuntarily.

Looking at the mystical creatures, he didn't know how to address them.

To call them beasts was out of the question since the Crown Prince had already granted them the status of citizens of Great Xia.

Calling them brothers or sisters was also not feasible, as the Marshal couldn't bring himself to fraternize with a group of animals.

Finally, a light bulb went off in his head.

"Esteemed Creatures of Auspiciousness!"

The moment the Marshal said the word "auspicious," he felt a surge of self-satisfaction.

This was his ingenuity!

No one else would have reacted so swiftly!

While admiring his own cleverness, the Marshal smiled kindly and said, "Young Lady Xiaoxiao, would you kindly greet the auspicious creatures, and we shall proceed to the Crown Prince's Mansion!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxiao immediately remembered Zhao Yi's previous arrangements.

She nodded and went to calm the mystical creatures.

These mystical creatures had grown up in the mountains and forests and had never seen so many people.

Now, being stared at by so many, they were extremely uneasy.

If it weren't for their trust in Xiaoxiao, they would have turned and fled long ago!

Xiaoxiao mostly conversed with the big black dog, Black Stripe.

Black Stripe had also left West Mountain with them.

It didn't like Xiaoxiao but was aware of its own survival situation.

Black Stripe had been injured twice and was severely wounded. There was no medicine in the mountains, and after Xiaoxiao left, the only thing waiting for it was death.

Even if by sheer luck its body healed, without the congregation of mystical creatures, it would sooner or later become prey for other beasts.

Thus, when Xiaoxiao spoke to it, Black Stripe thought for a moment and then decided to follow the large group of mystical creatures.

However, Black Stripe was heavily injured, and after traveling all night, it collapsed even before the kowtow ritual.

Zhao Yi had previously fed all the mystical creatures the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk, and with the nourishment from the Spirit Medicine, Black Stripe's injuries improved considerably and it awoke.

Black Stripe held a special status among the mystical creatures.

Though it felt a general disdain for all mystical creatures, including Xiaoxiao, it was an exceptional fighter and also the guardian of their group.

The mystical creatures trusted it implicitly!

The mystical creatures had used up all their courage traveling from West Mountain to Shengjing City with Xiaoxiao.

Now, the only thing that could boost their courage was Black Stripe.

Xiaoxiao was smart.

She quickly sensed what her mystical friends were thinking.

So she set her sights on Black Stripe.

Xiaoxiao had dealt with Black Stripe many times and knew its temper well.

Looking at Black Stripe, Xiaoxiao deliberately taunted it, "Black Stripe, don't tell me you're afraid to go to my master's house?"

Black Stripe fell for it!

The big black dog was huge, almost like a calf.

But it wasn't very bright.

Upon hearing Xiaoxiao's words, Black Stripe's hesitant gaze immediately turned disdainful, it bared its teeth, let out a whimper, and took the lead towards the city gate.

The other mystical creatures, seeing this, immediately followed behind Black Stripe.

Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow, smiled smugly, and hopped along at the back of the procession.

Black Stripe had cursed at her just now, with very foul language.

But Xiaoxiao didn't mind at all.

No matter how they cursed, as long as they were willing to go to the master's house!

The master was wealthy.

She would never have to worry about her friends going hungry again!

The Marshal, witnessing this scene, was nearly jaw-dropped.

In his younger days, he had fought battles against beasts with the army, but he'd never seen such intelligent mystical creatures.

When Xiaoxiao was conversing with that black dog, the Marshal almost thought she was talking to a person.

"Could it really be an auspicious sign?" The Marshal looked doubtful.

Previously, he hadn't believed in the notion of auspicious signs.

Especially since the Crown Prince arrived so quickly and was even dressed in the Crown Robe.

It all seemed too well-prepared.

But now, it seemed.

His speculations might have been wrong.

These mystical creatures indeed seemed extraordinary!

The news of the creatures bowing has already spread throughout Shengjing City.

As the mystical creatures entered the city under the escort of the Defense Battalion, they immediately caused a sensation throughout the city.

Black Stripe, originally storming ahead.

But upon entering the city and seeing the dense crowd along the roadside, its anger-clouded mind suddenly sobered.

It halted and whimpered while warily scanning its surroundings.

At this moment.

A steamed bun suddenly flew out from the crowd.

"Woof..."

Black Stripe was startled, its body tensed up, cautiously eyeing the bun, ready to attack at any moment.

Witnessing this, the onlooking citizens burst into laughter.
