Xi wasn't stupid. He instantly sensed Mi Yin's undisguised malice and was so frightened that he hid in the river, not daring to come out.
On the riverbed, he swished his beautiful azure tail, only daring to let his pair of glistening, blue vertical pupils break the surface. He blinked pitifully up at An Jin.
As Xi spoke, a stream of small bubbles floated to the surface and popped. His voice was muffled by the water. "Ah Jin, I feel the signs of another breakthrough coming on. I'm going to hunt in the more distant seas for a while…"
"Don't you miss me too much, Ah Jin!"
He added cheekily.
Mi Yin and Ling Hong shot him a cold look. Mi Yin, in particular, dangerously narrowed his red eyes, and his ten-plus-meter-long black-and-red snake tail tensed behind him, scraping against the ground as if he were about to send Xi flying with a single whip-like strike.
Xi immediately sank a little deeper into the water, leaving only the wet, blue crown of his head visible.
