How shameless!
Ling Xiao and Luo Tian, who were already fighting the Blast Flame Lion, heard his shout and nearly stumbled. Shangguan Yutong shot a speechless glance at the ferociously charging Long Xiang. The brief distraction almost cost her dearly, as the Blast Flame Lion's razor-sharp claws nearly raked across her delicate face, putting her in mortal peril. In a flash, Ling Xiao lunged forward, thrusting his sword toward the beast's soft underbelly and saving her from danger.
If his hair weren't a mess of grass and his face weren't blackened with soot, Long Xiang's grand entrance might have been rather impressive. As it was, he looked more like a clown.
Luo Tian even spared a moment to give Teacher Shangguan a sympathetic look. 'If I were stuck with a boyfriend like that,' he thought, 'life would be a living hell. Thank goodness it looks like she's never accepted him!'
