The Guardian Beasts' first meeting was instantly tense, bristling with hostility.
Canines and felines have a natural wariness and animosity toward birds of prey.
"Everyone, relax."
Yang Qi quickly spoke up to stop them, activating his Basic Spirit Communication Technique to make introductions.
"Xiaojiu, Bai Wan, Hu Zi, Leopard, this is Qi Zai. He's my new partner and your new friend. He's one of us."
"Qi Zai, they are my family and friends. This is Xiaojiu, Bai Wan, Hu Zi, and Leopard. They're all our companions."
"Come on, everyone say hello."
Xiaojiu, Bai Wan, Hu Zi, and Leopard froze for a moment at his words.
Their hostility and wariness slowly faded. Although they still kept their distance and watched him closely, they stopped growling and bristling, instead curiously sizing up the majestic great bird.
"MEOW?"
"WOOF!"
"WOOF WOOF!"
The furry kids all greeted him.
