In the blurred sight, those dark golden round pupils come closer, reflecting Wen Shu's body enveloped in white light.
Upon seeing the light patterns on the side of the female's face, the black panther's pupils contract to dots, emitting a sorrowful low cry from its nostrils.
As the distance closes, his decaying body is scorched by the light, giving off puffs of black smoke.
Yet, as if unaware of the burning pain, he charges into the light without hesitation, carefully biting the beast skin on the female's shoulder and placing it onto his back.
From start to finish, Wen Shu does not resist.
The white glow around her gradually fades away as she endures the pain, staring at the familiar yet strange black panther beneath her, incredulously slowing her breathing.
The black smooth fur in her memory has dimmed completely, with several cracks running across his back, some exposing white bones, and the edges of the decay even oozing pus and blood!
