"Grrrr…"
The lynx twitched, its body tensing as its eyes fluttered open.
Two figures stood before her.
Su Xiaobai, smirking like a bastard who'd just won a free meal.
Zhu Qing, arms folded, watching like she was judging a bad life decision.
All the fur on the lynx's body bristled.
"Hisssss!"
With a sharp intake of breath, she flipped onto all fours, her sleek form arching as claws dug into the stone floor.
Su Xiaobai grinned, tilting his head. "Well, well… Miss Huo Lingxue. To what do I owe the pleasure? Did you really just barge into my quarters to assassinate me?"
His voice filled with amusement.
His eyes, however, gleamed with something else.
This was too good.
So good he forgot about the weird egg he had placed to the side.
Zhu Qing, still catching up, blinked. "… this thing is Huo Lingxue?"
But the lynx had no time to answer.
Her body tensed, muscles coiling, and in a flash—she lunged.
