After crossing over, the demon king rolled in my arms and acted like a spoiled child

Chapter 158 Spirit Beast Rat

Her animal language skill has reached level 5, so she might actually be able to get the rats to do things for her. Even if she can't reach the level of telepathy that Yunxiao and she have, she should be able to try simple commands.

"But the palace is so big, how can I use the simplest method to make the rat find the empress or empress dowager..." Bai Jiyue muttered.

You can't expect mice to read, can you? Tell them to go inside the "Kunning Palace" and find the Empress when they see the words "Kunning Palace"?

Even if the rats could read, they wouldn't be able to tell who the empress was once inside.

Although Kunning Palace is sealed off, there are definitely still many palace maids inside. Since the rat doesn't understand that the Empress is the highest-ranking mistress, finding her accurately will indeed be quite difficult…

Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed in her mind: "I've got an idea!"

Mingyuan raised an eyebrow: "What method?"

"Mice have an extremely keen sense of smell; we can use their sense of smell to find the Queen!"

As Bai Jiyue spoke, she took out a jade pendant from her bosom: "This jade pendant is what the Empress always carries with her, so it must be imbued with the Empress's aura the most. All I need to do is let the rats find the owner of this aura."

This jade pendant was also given to her by Prince Qing, so that she could contact the Empress Dowager and Empress in advance.

Mingyuan gave Bai Jiyue a thumbs up: "Smart!"

Feeling the sincerity in Mingyuan's praise, Bai Jiyue felt a surge of joy.

She rubbed her hands together: "Now all that's left is to catch the mice."

"You go and prepare for training the rats, I'll handle catching them," Mingyuan said.

The two split up. Bai Jiyue didn't really need to prepare much, so she just got some food.

She had just prepared the food when the rats from the Underworld came.

Bai Jiyue found the wriggling worms disgusting, but she wasn't afraid of the rat. She held the rat by the tail and examined it closely.

It was smaller than a regular mouse, about the size of her palm.

Its color is also slightly different from that of ordinary mice. While ordinary mice are gray, this one is black, with glossy fur.

The mouse was held upside down by its tail, squeaking and struggling.

Bai Jiyue immediately understood what it meant. It felt very uncomfortable being hung upside down like this and wanted Bai Jiyue to put it down.

She placed the little mouse in her palm, expecting it to run away, but to her surprise, it didn't move and looked up at her with its dark little eyes.

The moment the two locked eyes, Bai Jiyue was surprised to sense that the little mouse wasn't afraid at all.

Mice are very wary animals, yet they didn't run away when held in the palm of someone's hand. How dare they be so bold?

Or perhaps it is—

She held the little mouse in her hand and turned to Mingyuan for confirmation: "Is it a spirit beast?"

Mingyuan didn't answer. He took out a dagger and held it to the little mouse's neck. The little mouse immediately bared its teeth, revealing two long fangs, and its eyes glowed with an eerie red light.

It really is a spirit beast!

Mingyuan removed the dagger, and the little mouse gradually retracted its fangs, the red in its eyes disappearing.

Seeing that it showed no intention of escaping, Bai Jiyue laughed and said, "You're quite bold, aren't you? Do you know I have food here?"

The little mouse's eyes darted towards the abyss.

Can it say that it dares not escape?

The man before it possessed immense power and control; it knew it couldn't escape and had no choice but to submit.

Bai Jiyue placed what she had prepared in front of the little mouse.
