Xiao Xiao also stood guard in front of the little one. The creature looked just like a very cute black kitten.
"Since when did Xue Zhao take a liking to such little things? Where did she pick this one up?" Xiao Xiao asked, looking at it.
"My mistress rescued it from another Monster Beast the last time she went out," Qi Tian hurriedly answered. "After that, she went into closed-door cultivation and hasn't paid much attention to this little one."
As Qi Tian spoke, he continued to roast the large piece of meat in his hands. The little creature, which had its eyes closed, immediately opened them upon smelling the rich aroma.
However, something about it seemed off. It raised its head to look at the meat in Qi Tian's hands, its own eyes glowing with a fierce light. It looked less like it wanted to eat the meat and more like it wanted to kill it.
Yet Qi Tian, completely engrossed in roasting his meat, didn't notice the creature's strange behavior behind him.
