The moment a golden light lit up Sangze's pupils, he collapsed.
"Sangze!"
Only after confirming the area was safe did Qiao Xixi lead the cubs down from the large tree, weaving through the scattered corpses of beastmen to reach Sangze.
Sangze slowly opened his eyes, which held a faint, vacant look.
"Xixi?"
He sat up, but when he saw that his surroundings were littered with the bodies of beastmen, he froze in shock.
"Sangze, are you okay?"
Sangze stiffly turned his head to look at Qiao Xixi, his voice trembling. "This... All of this... I... Did I do this?"
Qiao Xixi pursed her lips. "Sangze, I know it wasn't you."
His mismatched eyes instantly welled with tears. He shook his head, unable to accept it. "I... I've killed... so many beastmen again."
"Father, they came to capture me. You were just trying to protect me." Sangqi was heartbroken to see Sangze in this state.
