"Xixi! Xixi!"
Yun Ji flew above the river's surface. The water was so clear he could see straight to the bottom, but there was no sign of Qiao Xixi.
An indescribable panic rose in Yun Ji's heart. He sensed the surrounding auras, wondering if he had been careless and allowed Yun Ming to slip in and take Qiao Xixi away.
But no, there were no unusual auras in the vicinity at all.
Yun Ji quickly folded his wings. Just as he was about to dive into the water to find her, he suddenly heard a splash behind him.
He whipped around to see Qiao Xixi breaking through the surface. Her long, soaking wet hair clung smoothly to her delicate face. Seeing him look over, Qiao Xixi flashed him a bright smile.
"I'm over here, Yun Ji! You didn't think a monster got me, did you? I was just messing with you."
Yun Ji's light-colored pupils stared straight into her eyes. His tightly clenched fists trembled slightly, and his folded wings spread open once more, holding him suspended above the river.
