Pearl's Situation

Shen Jing was in fact the Ruler of the Western Continent, the White Tiger known as Bai Jingshen.

This information was way too large for Alex to digest at once.

He had trained with this man, no— this beast, for nearly a decade, and never in that time had he ever realized that he was actually with someone of this caliber.

All this time, he had expected Shen Jing to be someone important from the Hegemony to the west, but to think he wasn't even from this realm.

"3 people I've been looking forward to meeting are all here at once. I am very happy to see you all," the beast said from his throne.

"Bai Jingshen, I demand you explain everything to me right now," Scarlet said in an angry tone. "How the hell are you still alive?"

The beasts around the palace hall suddenly got agitated.

"Hey! Just because you're a phoenix doesn't mean you can—"

"Shut up," Bai Jingshen's voice roared through the palace hall. "Do not be rude to my guests."
