With grave expressions, the four Beast Husbands followed Jiang Xinli's lead, kowtowing and vowing in low voices:
"Father, Mother, please rest assured. We will use our lives to protect and care for Lili, our Female Master, our Little Bumble."
The Little Leopard also kowtowed in a human-like manner, letting out a few low whimpers.
Three wisps of faint, cyan smoke curled upwards.
Amidst the smoke, Jiang Xinli thought she could faintly see the figures of a graceful, middle-aged beauty and a handsome, stately man with golden dragon horns.
Her heart ached inexplicably. This scene—
'It's like I've seen this somewhere before...'
A gentle breeze blew past, and the image scattered with the wind.
"Dad, Mom, I miss you..." A sudden emptiness filled Jiang Xinli's heart. Her nose tingled, and salty, warm tears streamed silently down her face.
"Lili." Hearing her sobs, Sheng Tianze's heart clenched. He rushed over and helped her up.
