"Ugh..." Xuan En immediately deflated when he heard that Ji Fengming was going to abandon him.
She let out a pitiful sob, still looking at Black Owl with resentment, trying her best to hide the hatred in her eyes.
Ji Fengming frowned even more deeply and said solemnly again, "Xuan'en, I'm not joking with you. If you dare to be so disrespectful to Xiao Chen again, you can go back to being a beastman. I'll pretend I never taught you. If you dare to hurt Xiao Chen even a little bit, don't blame me for being ruthless and showing no mercy. I will kill you with my own hands!"
"Waaaaah...!"
Xuan En was heartbroken when she saw Ji Fengming's serious, even fierce, expression. She sobbed and turned to run back.
He was very sad!
Before that person named Xiao Chen appeared, Brother Ji was clearly very good to him, spending all his attention on him every day.
But everything changed when that person named Xiao Chen appeared.
Brother Ji's thoughts were almost entirely focused on Xiao Chen. He did everything with Xiao Chen in mind and no longer paid attention to him as much as before.
It's all Xiao Chen's fault!
He must find a way to drive Xiao Chen away from Brother Ji!
Watching Xuan En run off into the distance, Hei Xiao withdrew his gaze and glanced indifferently at Ji Fengming, who was grinning at him: "This Xuan En..."
"I found him in Liuxiang Town down there. He looked like a wild man back then. I felt sorry for him and wanted to help him become a human again. I didn't expect him to become so dependent on me like a child," Ji Fengming quickly explained.
"You already said that," Black Owl said indifferently, turning away and continuing on his way.
"Ah, ah... right?" Ji Fengming scratched his head awkwardly, peering at Hei Xiao's face hidden behind the human skin mask, trying to glean some emotion from it to see if he was really angry: "Xuan En's mental age is probably that of a seven or eight-year-old child; Xiao Chen, don't take it to heart, it's not worth getting angry with a child, is it?"
"What if I want to hold a grudge against him?" Black Owl stopped in his tracks, turned around and stared intently at Ji Fengming.
“Uh…” Ji Fengming was dumbfounded.
It seems like Xiao Chen's personality has changed quite a bit since he came to the Danling Continent.
Sometimes I'm anxious about gains and losses, and now I'm even starting to become stingy.
Black Owl looked into Ji Fengming's seemingly dull and somewhat dim-witted phoenix eyes and thought they looked better with a bright smile.
He gently curled the corners of his lips and reached out to wipe away the unnecessary worry in those phoenix eyes. But halfway up, he flicked away a small piece of withered leaf that had fallen on his shoulder, then clenched his fist and lowered it back to his side.
“Xuan En’s mind is not very mature, but I feel that his hostility towards me does not simply come from you.” Black Owl’s voice was deliberately lowered, and his body lines were noticeably more tense.
Ji Fengming's clear eyes darted around a couple of times before she rushed forward, still hooking her elbow around Hei Xiao's shoulder, practically hanging on his side, walking like a hooligan: "You've never met before, so what grudge could he possibly have against you besides me? It's just like children fighting over their mother, trying to figure out who's closer and who's more important."
"Mother?" Black Owl stopped again, turning his head dangerously to stare at him.
Their faces were inches apart.
Ji Fengming was startled by Hei Xiao's aggressive gaze and quickly stood up straight. His lips twitched twice before he managed an awkward laugh: "Hehe, I was just making a casual analogy. I didn't mean to take advantage of you."
