The Crown Prince is Actually a Princess! SEASON 1

Chapter 45 - Cui Nong

....

- The Dali Temple -

Three animal cages, containing a White Rabbit, a Little Monkey, and a Giant Rats, were placed on the stone table in the inner courtyard.
All the three small creatures were about the size of a cat.

Seven or eight young men dressed in official uniforms of the Dali Temple surrounded them, leaning and staring at the three little creatures.

"This little White Rabbit is so cute.
Those red eyes are turning round and round, and my heart melts when I see it."

"This Little Monkey is so delicate and cute that I wish I could take it home."

"This huge Giant Rat m looks like a big ball of rice."

They were chattering, while watching the three little creatures eating leaves and food and drinking.
They were indeed very cute.

Someone asked,

"Master Shen, what do you want to do after buying these three little creatures?"

Shen Zhiyan and Murong Ci were standing aside, and he smiled meaningfully,

"You'll find out later."

After that, he put three previously prepared large pork thighs into the three cages, and then closed the doors of the cages.

The young men opened their eyes wide, looking forward to see what would happen next.
Murong Ci stared at him intently, hoping that the shopkeeper's method would work.

Not long after, the Giant Rat changed his face first, shook his head violently, roared low, and his teeth stood out violently.
It only took a moment for the Giant Rat to change from a naive and docile little creature to a ferocious and terrifying beast.
It jumped up and down in the animal cage, fiercely angry, and let out a few low roars in succession, as if it went berserk, and its gray-black eyes were fierce.

When the Giant Rat saw the large pork thigh placed beside it, it rushed forward, spreading its fangs and biting angrily.
The White Rabbit and the Little Monkey also had changed, but they were not as fierce as the giant rat.
After a while, the Giant Rat bit the large pork thigh even more intensely and scarily.

The men took a few steps back in shock, and were startled by the ferocity of the Giant Rat.
Murong Ci and Shen Zhiyan looked at each other, positive of the result and sure of the rightness of their theory.

After five minutes, the White Rabbit and the Little Monkey calmed down and regained their meekness, but the Giant Rat was still fierce, tireless and terrifying.
After a while, the Giant Rat slowly returned to normality.

Shen Zhiyan took out the three large pork thighs from the cages.
Compared to the other two, the one that the Giant Rat bit had the heaviest "injury".
There were many large and small wounds, among which several wounds were slightly deeper, and the "flesh" was torn and bit down.

"Do you think it resembles the wounds on Sun Yumei and Xiaolu's body?"
Murong Ci smiled brightly and asked.

It was clear at a glance that the wounds were the same, and it was basically certain.

"It should have been a Giant Rat's doing after all!"
Shen Zhiyan looked at her with a smile, and was glad to have been to the East Market today.
Finally, the efforts to solve the "men-eating cannibal fish" mystery weren't for waste this time!
