Just as I was about to intervene, a flash of black passed by. Little Black was gone, replaced by a young man dressed in black. With a single punch, he sent Dan Feng flying, shielding Song Qinglan in the process.
He had a carefree and arrogant expression, with chubby baby cheeks that made his fierce demeanor almost look cute as he grabbed Dan Feng by the neck.
"Turns out you're still useless, no matter how you transform," he said coldly, then turned to Song Qinglan. "And you—ugly and with a bad heart, do you think you deserve to call us 'Xiaoxiao' junior sister? Pah!"
Master poked me, still stunned, "Your spirit beast has transformed too?"
I fell silent, since I had the same question.
Looking at the intricate patterns on his clothing, I suddenly realized I had seen him somewhere before.
Song Qinglan struggled to get up, her eyes flashing with surprise as she looked at Little Black.
She reached out towards him, her voice tinged with a hint of desperation. "Let go of Dan Feng!"
Little Black immediately recoiled in fear, his expression twisted in confusion. "What do you want to do?"
He turned to look at me. "Xiaoxiao, did you see that? She was the one trying to attack me!"
Song Qinglan awkwardly paused her hand in midair, her eyes pleading. "No, I just want you to let go of Dan Feng."
Her expression was pitiful, and Dan Feng, holding his throat, sat up, looking at her with a complex expression.
But all Song Qinglan’s attention was fixed on Little Black.
Seeing Little Black ready to strike again, I cleared my throat.
Immediately, Little Black withdrew, walking back to my side. "I understand, a little lesson is fine, but if I keep going, we’ll be the ones at fault, right?"
I almost corrected him, but considering I had told him this before, I decided to remain silent.
