With the Azure Owl standing guard, Tu Xiao'an had nothing to worry about. A slight smile touched his lips as he gripped the Mouse Queen's tail and leaped out the window.
With that single leap, Tu Xiao'an soared into the air, levitating opposite the giant rat shadow. He said coolly, "Gray Demon King, you've finally decided to show up. You're certainly slow enough."
"My King, save me!" the Mouse Queen immediately cried for help.
The giant rat shadow rippled, slowly solidifying until it became a man in gray robes.
After revealing his true form, the Gray Demon King was first stunned to see Tu Xiao'an, then his expression twisted with rage. He bellowed, "Damned Snake Demon King! So it was you who laid a hand on my Mouse Queen. What in the world are you trying to do?"
'In this world, I'm afraid only this snake before me is capable of such lawless audacity, of showing me, the Gray Demon King, such utter disregard.'
