Ji Fengming is just usually carefree, not stupid. When he wants to, he can be very meticulous.
He immediately noticed the obvious changes in Xuan En's appearance, and his heart sank.
It's likely that Xuan En encountered monsters during her time away.
Or perhaps he was originally a demon.
Because if he had simply transformed into the shell of some kind of demon, he wouldn't have such an undeniable aura.
Even with Jiu Cheng's demonic shell, that handsome young man could perfectly conceal his demonic energy.
But Xuan'en before him could not.
The Xuan En before him was probably no longer the Xuan En he had found back then.
So even after hearing Xuan En's incredibly aggrieved whimper, Ji Fengming didn't rush forward as usual. Instead, he stood still and calmly asked, "Xuan En, what are you doing here?"
“Ugh… my benefactor, I miss him,” Xuan En awkwardly mimicked his former tone, but his eyes revealed a strong possessiveness.
That extremely aggressive gaze naturally fell on Black Owl.
Black Owl suddenly felt as if he were being stared at by a ferocious beast, and a chill ran down his spine.
His vigilance instantly rose to its peak. He said to the Fourth Ancestor Ling Feng, the Sixth Ancestor Ling Pei, and the Grand Elder Ling Jie, who were walking to his side, "Fourth Ancestor, Sixth Ancestor, Grand Elder, quickly tell the ordinary disciples to retreat. I'm afraid there's going to be a fierce battle."
Ling Jie also noticed something was wrong with Xuan En, and quickly called Ling Yuan and Chong Beishan to disperse their disciples.
"Who is this person...?"
The Fourth Ancestor Ling Feng and the Sixth Ancestor Ling Pei stood on either side of Hei Xiao and Ji Fengming, protecting them in the middle, and asked suspiciously.
“It’s an orc that Fengming picked up a while ago, but now it seems that it’s not that simple,” Black Owl explained through telepathy.
Ji Fengming also sensed that Xuan En's hostility towards Hei Xiao had grown stronger than before, and immediately put on a stern face, saying, "Xuan En, I have said before, if you cannot tolerate Xiao Chen and are hostile towards Xiao Chen, then you cannot stay by my side."
"Ugh!" Xuan En pretended to be aggrieved, confused, and angry, looking Ji Fengming and Hei Xiao back and forth accusingly.
But he is not a good actor, because he can't control his anger at all, and he doesn't even realize it.
"Enough, Xuan'en, stop pretending. Your hatred for Xiao Chen is boundless, I dare not let you live." Ji Fengming banished the last trace of pity for the former Xuan'en in his heart, hardened his heart, and directly exposed Xuan'en: "Besides, you are not the Xuan'en I know anymore."
Upon hearing this, Xuan En knew that he had been completely exposed.
He also dropped his pretense, angrily questioning, "Why? We were doing so well together, why did everything change after he came along! We were together first, why did he have to show up! Is it that if he dies, everything will go back to normal? If so, then I'll kill him right now, so no one can ruin our relationship!"
Being easily angered and irritable is the nature of monsters, and this is especially true for magical beasts.
In his rage, Xuan En was unable to control his anger.
Moreover, his hostility towards Black Owl seemed to stem from instinct; just as his affection for Ji Fengming also seemed to stem from instinct.
The questioning turned into a roar, and the roar turned into a howl, a fierce howl.
Gradually, black mottled scales appeared on Xuan En's face and hands, eventually transforming into a dragon's head and sharp claws!
