Just before Winger’s mind completely slipped away, his ear somehow manages to vaguely make out two voices near himself. He wants to open his eyes to see who they were, but the tiredness he had was stronger and that stopped him from doing so.
“Tsing Yi, who is he? Based on his appearance, it looks like he’s been hit by lightning or something. What did he do to be struck by something like that?” A snowy white tiger marched in front of the unconscious man, his mighty eyes staring down at the stranger on the ground.
“He’s a demon like us, but his scent and aura are not familiar to me. I can’t tell which tribe or clan he’s from.” Speaking afterwards was a woman in green, her face heroic and beautiful at the same time.
“Then what should we do with him?” The tiger asks again with a childish voice.
“First take him back to the city with us. If he’s a demon then we shouldn’t leave him alone to die like this. As to his identity, we can confirm with the others when he’s better.”
What’s more, a seriously injured demon wouldn’t pose a threat to them and their friends anyway. Rather than being heartless and cold, the dragoness would rather be kind to help her own soul.
“Okay, I’ll carry him on my back then.” Using his mouth, the white tiger flung the poor guy into the air and onto his back like a baggage. A brutish method but an effective one nonetheless.
Tsing Yi didn’t have any objections to this maneuver and followed her companion from behind. Together, they bolted for the Demon City without looking back.
Unbeknownst to the pair though, they were being watched from the rear the entire time by the very girl who fled earlier. “Azure Dragon and White Tiger? They’re here too? I can’t let the Demon Realm’s power continue to grow, otherwise the problem will be out of control.”
Yun Ruo Xi hasn’t forgotten the appalling power the four demon generals possessed back in their prime. If they are to return then it would spell trouble not only for the Celestial Palace, but herself as well because she had a major hand in their demise! If everything comes out, the first person those four would murder would be her!
But concern was one thing, this wretched woman wasn’t so ignorant to not realize what’s the most urgent matter at hand. She must hurry back and make sure the Keepers never meet Bai Yan again, otherwise the other person might bring up the topic of the moon amulet in her possession. If it becomes known she’s not the real owner and Bai Yan was, she would be nothing! She wouldn’t be able to live the life of luxury she has now, nor would she have a loyal dog like Winger who came on his own. Heck, she wouldn’t even be able to protect herself without others to shelter her!
