Bai Wanwan leaped directly off his back.
Just as he was about to chase after those beastmen, Zhu Xiu felt his back lighten and immediately twisted his head around.
Seeing Bai Wanwan about to hit the ground, he swept his tail out and caught her again.
In that brief delay, the beastmen from before had already fled far away.
"Ow, Zhu Xiu, my leg hurts."
Worried he would still go after them, Bai Wanwan started to whine and whimper.
She rolled back and forth on his back. "It hurts so much, so much!"
The mist swirling around Zhu Xiu seemed to freeze for a moment, then shot out like a sharp sword.
"Zhu Xiu, what are you doing?"
Bai Wanwan watched him nervously, only to realize he wasn't chasing the beastmen. Instead, he was carrying her, racing back to the cave.
He placed Bai Wanwan on the ground, lowered his head, and stared at her with his enormous eyes.
Bai Wanwan noticed the black mist around him was still thick, but he didn't seem to have any intention of hurting her.
