Anime Crossover: My Devil's Crystal Palace

Chapter 181 A Lamb Enters the Tiger's Mouth

"What a thieving cat!"

Ye Xiao watched Leone stagger away and smiled helplessly. "But my things aren't so easy to take."

After saying that, Ye Xiao leisurely followed.

Leone was completely unaware that she was being followed.

She was still basking in the smug satisfaction of having casually touched a nobleman's wallet.

Leone, who had moved countless times, finally stopped.

She looked around, weighing the bag in her hand as she walked.

hmm~

The portion size is quite generous.

"He really is a very wealthy man. This king's governance isn't very good either. How come such a nobleman is here?"

But... let's see how it goes.

Perhaps she didn't know that the largest and only noble in the entire country was the king.

Leone walked on smugly, not looking at the road ahead.

All that was heard was a loud "Duang~".

Leone accidentally bumped into someone.

"Oh, I'm so sorry."

Leone quickly apologized, then looked up and saw that it was the man whose wallet she had stolen.

Looking at Ye Xiao's amused smile, Leone felt inexplicably guilty in front of the man in front of her.

Ye Xiao looked at her with a half-smile, "I wonder if Miss Thief Cat should return my things?"

Leone's eyes darted around, then he quietly retreated, and then turned and ran.

There's no reason to take back what's in your hands.

She turned back and laughed, "Haha, if you want the money bag, grab me first."

"This is truly lawless, but if that's the case, then he'll have to pay with his life."

Ye Xiao watched Leone's fleeing figure, a smile playing on his lips, and leisurely chased after her.

Leone used her agility to leap continuously between the tall buildings.

They then stopped on the tallest building.

She sat on the rooftop wall, looking down at the bustling market below with a smile on her face.

He then took out the wine jug and took a swig.

"Ah~ That feels good."

Leone completely relaxed.

She didn't believe a nobleman had the skill to keep up with her.

"This place is really nice, at least better than the Empire."

Just as Leone was enjoying the tranquility while sipping his drink, Ye Xiao's voice came from above.

"You certainly know how to enjoy yourself, but thank you for the compliment on this country."

Leone froze, then abruptly looked up.

Ye Xiao stood gracefully above him, while the person from before looked at him with amusement.

This immediately sobered Leone up.

She quickly stood up, clipped the wine flask to her waist, and assumed a fighting stance.

His eyes were full of vigilance.

"You're really good at pursuing people."

"There's nothing I can do; Miss Kitty stole my things."

Ye Xiao spread her hands, indicating that all of this started because of you.

Looking at the person in front of him, Leone really didn't expect this guy to be so persistent.

This is troublesome.

Besides, it's so late now, Najenda probably won't talk about herself tomorrow.

Looking at the money bag in his hand.

I don't want to give up, it's a dilemma.

She tossed the purse in her hand and suggested, "Um... how about I give this back to you?"

"Not very good."

Ye Xiao crossed his arms and looked at Leonai teasingly, saying, "Isn't it too late now?"

Leone's eyes darted around as he listened to Ye Xiao's words.

She is thinking.

How can I escape and get rid of this guy?

Suddenly, something seemed to come to mind, and my eyes lit up. Although it wasn't a very good idea, I apologize.

However, since you're so handsome, I'll reluctantly give you some perks.

Leona's "you've made a profit" look made Ye Xiao wonder what she was planning to do.

Just then, a breeze blew by, and Leone sneezed.

"Ahem, could we talk downstairs? It's rather cold here."

cold?

Ye Xiao looked at Leone's outfit.

You're dressed like this, and you're still saying you're cold.

However, for the sake of the rest of the game, Ye Xiao nodded and said, "Okay, let's go down first."

After a while, the two came down.

Then they stood face to face.

Leone looked around and saw a patrol approaching.

Just in time, it's time for the performance.

Leone suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Ye Xiao's hand, and shouted, "Help! Someone is harassing a respectable woman!"

"Help! Someone come quick!"

The patrol team immediately surrounded them upon hearing the shouts.

Even the nearby residents came to take a look.

Upon discovering that the person was the Queen, the residents' expressions changed, their faces filled with fervor. Just as they were about to rush forward, Ye Xiao stopped them with a gesture.

Since the king wants to play, let the king play.

Leone was still performing energetically, while winking at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao was speechless. They actually wanted to play a version of the game with me?

Do you think you're a top-tier player?

Sorry, I am the rule of this game.

The squad leader on patrol was immediately struck by the sight of someone causing trouble in the capital, clearly showing no regard for the law.

He then charged toward Ye Xiao with his spear, followed closely by his teammates.

"That shameless brat..."

But when he saw Ye Xiao's appearance halfway through the rush, he quickly shut up.

Then the entire squad slid in, and knelt on one knee, respectfully saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

The residents also greeted Ye Xiao.

"Your Majesty, come out and play!"

"Your Majesty, here's some fruit for you."

"king......"

Leone stared wide-eyed at Ye Xiao in disbelief. It turned out that the man whose wallet she had stolen was actually the king.

So now I've become the clown.

Similarly, Leone never expected that she would meet the king, whom even Najenda had never met, in this way.

Leone laughed awkwardly, then pointed at Ye Xiao and asked, "Are you really the king?"

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow and spread his hands, saying, "It's obvious."

Leonai's world has collapsed.

Ignoring Leone's despair, Ye Xiao clapped his hands and addressed the people around him.

"Everyone, go about your business, stop crowding around."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"understood."

"..."

After the crowd dispersed, Ye Xiao looked at the patrol team and said, "You can continue your patrol."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Now only Ye Xiao and Leone remain.

Looking at Leone, Ye Xiao's lips curled into a slight smile. "Now, Miss Thief Cat, do you think your little tricks will still work?"

Leone gave an awkward laugh and was about to beg for mercy.

Ye Xiao continued, "Since Miss Leone has put it that way, I would be letting her down if I didn't take some action."

Hearing this, Leone felt a chill run down his spine.

He then revealed a fawning smile: "Hehe, since you are the king, you shouldn't make things difficult for this humble woman, right?"
