Upon hearing this, Yue'er's small hand holding the chicken leg froze. Someone wanted to take her back? Back where? To the Xiao family?
If she went to the Xiao family, wouldn't her secret be exposed?
She continued munching on the chicken leg while her eyes darted around restlessly.
Xiao Junyan watched the little girl devour the chicken leg with both hands. Before long, only a bare bone remained in her grasp. With her face glistening with grease, she looked up at him and reached out again.
Seeing this, he tore off another chicken leg for her before tearing off a wing for himself.
After they finished the roast chicken, Xiao Junyan carried her to a spring to wash their faces and hands. Just then, rustling sounds came from the woods. Xiao Junyan looked up to see a massive, fierce beast emerging from the forest, flattening the undergrowth wherever it passed.
"Roooaaaar!"
The fierce beast spotted the pair by the spring, let out a thunderous roar, and lunged fiercely toward them.
