34 Chase

With curiosity in her eyes, Yu Yan took the paper and carefully unfolded it to reveal its contents.

Her eyes widened like twinkling stars then she looked at MouJin with appreciation.

"It's the black garden's map... I hope you liked it.." MouJin whispered to her ears.

Yu Yan nodded twice "Where did you get it?"

However, there were no words that came out from MouJin's mouth. She just gave a sweet smile that gave off a warm feeling to Yu Yan.

"Aren't you going to be in trouble?"

MouJin shook her head, "It doesn't matter, as long as you're happy...but don't go too far....and not outside..."

Yu Yan smiled and hugged MouJin tightly. Then she studied the map carefully until she heard MouJin reminding her.

"You should memorize it quickly, I will need to return it to it's original position."

Yu Yan nodded and after a few moment, she folded the map and handed it back to MouJin who placed it back in her pocket and held Yu Yan's head.

"So smart! Go on, explore the place but be back before sunset. Just promise me you won't leave the Black Garden.."

Yu Yan smiled and nodded, she wiped her face and stood up then went out of the room.

After she left, MouJin returned the map to someone's study room while paying attention to the surrounding the area to make sure she won't get caught.

.....

Somewhere in the house:

A pair of eyes were looking at the tv screen and mumbled with lips that has an evil smile.

"It seems we have a mouse in the house..."

"....sounds fun... Well, I'll let you play for a while..."

"but....do not disappoint me.."

The person stood up and walked away but looked back at the tv screen while chuckling and continued to turn around and leave.

....

When Yu Yan came down the stairs, she looked around and went directly to the garden.

Grass walls were high that it reached her neck. Studying the terrain, the garden was like a maze.

She continued to move forward and after walking around for two hours, Yu Yan saw a bridge across a river.

When she went to the other side, it looked like it was an entrance to the forest, going straight to the mountains.

'This place seems more huge than the (1)Villa!'

After entering the forest to explore, Yu Yan didn't know how long she have been walking until she hear a loud "Roar!".. When Yu Yan looked around, she saw a white tiger!

Yu Yan: "..."

'It seems Moujin forgot to check this one!

But it looks fluffy!'

However, when Yu Yan saw it's murderous eyes, she panicked and turned around and ran as fast as she could. However....

'It's chasing me!'

She jumped up on a tree and jumped to another making sure that she won't run with the tiger on the ground.

However, she doesn't understand why but it seems like she already felt tired.

'This is weird!

I always ran away for a whole day in D country!

How can I feel tired all of a sudden?'

When Yu Yan jumped onto the next tree, her foot slipped and the next moment.....

"aahh!" Falling!

Yu Yan closed her eyes bracing herself for the impact once she slammed to the ground. But just when she was expecting the impact, Yu Yan suddenly felt soft arms around her.

She tentatively opened one of her eyes, but Yu Yan realized that she was only five inches away from the ground. She quickly tried to stand up and was about to look at the person who saved her when she heard a loud "Roar!" behind her.

"Ah!" Yu Yan shouted in fear and pounced at the person like a koala wrapping her arms and legs around his body.

"!!!"

His body became stiff. He wanted to push her away but he felt that Yu Yan was shivering in fear so he stopped and looked at the tiger.... "Xixi..."
