In that instant, Qiao Xixi's scalp prickled with fear.
She scrambled to her feet and ran to Sunxiao's side. He lowered his body, allowing her to climb onto his back.
Sangze frowned at Qiao Xixi's eagerness to be with Sunxiao, his gaze turning reproachful as he stared at the scarlet snake eyes.
"Sunxiao, your back looks comfortable. I want a ride, too."
As the black mist drifted toward Sunxiao, he whipped his serpentine head around and opened his massive, bloody maw.
The black mist halted in midair. Sangze's voice remained full of resentment. "So stingy."
Sunxiao shot him a cold glare. 'If it weren't for Xixi, I wouldn't have bothered with this mad leopard's business. And now he wants to steal her from me? In his dreams.'
Sunxiao shot him one last warning glance, then turned and vanished into the darkness with Qiao Xixi.
Watching them disappear, Sangze's lips curled into a sinister smile. "Little female, that giant snake can't stop me."
