"Xiao Xiao, I heard a commotion and came to check on you. Thankfully, you're alright," Ye Qingchen's voice suddenly called from nearby.
Upon hearing him, Xiao Xiao quickly called out, "Young Master, just wait over there. I'll have this thing dealt with in no time!"
Ye Qingchen looked at Xiao Xiao, his eyes filled with a complex expression. He had sensed something amiss earlier and, worried that something might have happened to Xiao Xiao, had hurried over. By the time he arrived, she had already taken care of the creature.
But for some reason, he couldn't shake the feeling that something had been very wrong with her at the very end. However, before he could get a closer look, Xiao Xiao had already returned to her usual self.
Forget it. I'm overthinking this. It's probably just because of that Monster Beast.
Seeing Xiao Xiao back to her normal self, Ye Qingchen shook his head and dispelled his lingering doubts.
