The dragon head seemed almost sentient: it had originally been protruding outward, but it had now turned to the inside and was tightly pressed against the ring.
Without a close examination, it would be nearly invisible, but even if the five ninjas had noticed it, they wouldn't have paid it much attention.
After all, a little girl wearing a delicately crafted bracelet was hardly out of the ordinary.
Just as the first ninja was about to tighten the mouth of the sack, another asked, "What about these two women? Should we kill them?"
With that, he made a throat-slashing gesture.
The ninja tying up the sack instinctively turned his head to look.
And at that moment, an extremely nimble shadow slipped into the sack at an imperceptible speed.
This shadow was very small; it was Xiaolongbao.
Despite being thrown into disarray earlier, it had swiftly recovered its senses and wasn't confused by the pale blue smoke.
