Moonlit Calamity: The Dragon Girl's Life of Idleness is Broken

Chapter 354 Abnormal Sound

Just as the puppets were collectively banging against the window of Long Chuqing's room, Xiao Han, Prince Qi, and Prince Xuan, who lived in the next few rooms, were awakened by the noise.

They had considered that Hu Guangyan might send someone to retaliate during the night, so they didn't sleep soundly. Unexpectedly, there was indeed some noise in the middle of the night.

However, after a series of knocking sounds, there was no further movement, nor were there any sounds of weapons clashing or fighting.

They wondered if they were just hallucinating from worrying too much.

King Xuan, who lived a little further away, was still half asleep when he thought he was hallucinating. He lay in bed and listened carefully. After confirming that there was no sound at all, he turned over and went back to sleep.

Xiao Han and Prince Qi, who lived in the rooms to the left and right of Long Chuqing, heard the commotion more clearly.

Prince Qi had already sat up. He had intended to get up and check what was going on, but now there was no movement again.

If anything were to happen, the guards would definitely report it immediately.

He thought about it carefully and realized that the noise just now sounded like knocking on doors and windows. The sound came from the back of the house, which meant that it was knocking on the window, not the door.

Judging from the distance, the strange noise just now seemed to come from the room where the princess and the dragon girl lived next door, rather than from the first floor.

Their entire group, including the guards, lived on the second floor, but there was nowhere to stand outside the second-floor windows, which was rather strange.

He was really worried about the two young women, after all, he had offended someone at the restaurant that night, and they might send someone to retaliate in the middle of the night.

Therefore, Prince Qi summoned his guards to check if there was anything unusual outside, otherwise he would not be able to sleep soundly.

Xiao Han became fully awake after confirming that the strange noise came from the next room.

The strange noise only lasted for a short while, and then it quieted down. Xiao Han pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the sounds coming from next door and around him. Because it was particularly quiet at night, he could vaguely hear voices coming from the next room.

Voices?

Could it be that Chu Qing and Zhi'er are still awake?

Or is there something wrong with the window in their room?

The noise just now was because the window wasn't closed tightly and was blown open by the wind at night. The strange noise came from when they went to close the window.

That possibility cannot be ruled out.

"No... If they're not asleep yet, it's best to go and check on them. Only after confirming they're alright can he sleep peacefully."

Xiao Han threw off the covers and got out of bed.

The guard on night watch also noticed the strange noise immediately. He leaped from the courtyard onto the roof and went around to the back of the house to check the situation. He could only lower his guard after making sure it wasn't an assassin attack.

Qing Tong and Qing Ying met in the corridor. They looked around but found nothing unusual. The surroundings remained quiet, except for the dim yellow lantern under the inn's corridor, which swayed tirelessly and occasionally made a slight creaking sound.

The two of them looked up at the roof through the courtyard at the same time.

Qingying looked at Qingtong: "The sound seems to be coming from behind. You stay here and keep watch, I'll go up and check."

Qing Tong nodded: "Yes, notify me immediately if anything happens."

"I'll go with you." The guards of Prince Qi, who had just arrived, followed Qingying and leaped onto the roof along the corridor.

The two walked toward the guard who came up first.

Qingying asked, "Have you noticed anything unusual?"

"The strange noise from before has disappeared, and no other abnormalities have been found so far," the guard replied.

"Bang—bang—bang"

As soon as he finished speaking, several sounds came from below.

The three immediately became alert and simultaneously leaped toward the source of the sound.

When they stood on the eaves and looked down, they saw one after another, objects of unknown origin flying out of the windows.

"What just flew out?" the guard asked, puzzled.

"It's too dark to see clearly. It looks like a figure but not quite a person, and we didn't hear any shouting." Another guard leaned forward slightly, craning his neck to check.

Judging from the location, those things flew out of the guest room where Long Chuqing and the princess were staying.

"Oh no, that's the princess's room." Qingying frowned. "Could it be that an assassin has broken in?"

The three men were horrified. This was terrible! An assassin had broken into the princess's room. It was their fault for not guarding and patrolling properly. If anything happened to the princess, they would lose their heads.

Although Qingying panicked for a moment, he quickly calmed down. He knew that the princess and Long Chuqing were living in the same room, and with Long Chuqing's strength, he could definitely protect the princess. The princess should be safe at the moment.

Moreover, Bronze and the other guards are currently standing guard in the corridor and will rush to provide support as soon as they hear any commotion.

After those things flew out, there was no more movement inside the house. Qingying said, "Let's go down and take a look."

Just as the three were about to jump off the roof, a guard exclaimed, "Wait...look, what are those?"

At this moment, Xiao Han had already dressed. Just as his hand touched the door, a series of "bang bang bang" sounds came from behind the house, as if something had hit the ground.

He quickly turned around and opened the window to check the situation.

As soon as he opened the window, he saw something being thrown out of the next room.

Xiao Han leaned halfway out to look into the next room: "The thing was thrown out of Chu Qing's room. What exactly happened in there?"

Xiao Han's expression turned serious. Just as he was about to turn around, he caught a glimpse of a faint green light shining in the dark alley.

The same applies to Prince Qi and Prince Xuan, who were staying in the other two guest rooms.

Just as King Xuan was about to fall asleep, the strange noise came again. This time, the noise was much louder than before. After careful listening, he confirmed that it was not a hallucination.

He suddenly opened his eyes, flipped himself out of bed with a somersault, grabbed his outer cloak, put it on, and went out the door.

After coming out, he went straight to the room of Prince Qi next door. He pushed open the door and saw him standing by the window: "Fifth Brother, what happened?"

King Xuan was still a little confused. He walked to the window and leaned out to look: "What's going on? Is it...is it an assassin?"

"I don't know." Prince Qi looked into the darkness. "The thing flew out of Zhi'er and Miss Long's room. Let's go and check it out quickly, lest something bad happens."

"Wait... Fifth Brother, look!" Prince Xuan grabbed Prince Qi, who was about to turn around. "What is that?"

Suddenly, a faint, eerie green light appeared in the dark alley, like the eyes of a lone wolf in the night, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.

"Are those glowing green eyes? Could they be... wolves?" The guard swallowed hard.

Qingying said firmly, "It's not a wolf." After all, there was no wolf stench in the wind.

The scene of the battle with the wolf pack is still fresh in my mind, as is the stench.

"Are these the things that were just thrown out?" Qingying murmured.
