85 He... Took First?

Even as Zhou Xinqi reeled in shock, another blast of wind swept over her, and Elder Zhou appeared. As he passed, he looked over and smiled, and she nodded in return.

Despite the faint smile on his face, when he spoke, the voice of a fiendish monster echoed out from his mouth.

"I've changed my mind again, Bai Xiaochun. After I catch you, I'm going to starve you for a month, then put you in with a flock of phoenixes and a horde of wild beasts!"

Zhou Xinqi's eyes went wide, and at the same time, a miserable scream could be heard coming from Bai Xiaochun.

"Help me, Uncle Li! Save me, dear Elder Brother Sect Leader! I don't want to starve! I don't want to get locked up with phoenixes and wild beasts...." Bai Xiaochun was trembling in fear as he conjured mental images of the scenes described by Elder Zhou. Screaming, he shot forward with incredible speed, transforming into nothing more than a shadow.
