It must be said that subduing the Snow Woman was both easy and hard for Duanmu Huai.
The easy part was that he didn't have to lift a finger. The Snow Woman didn't put up a fight and just laid herself flat.
The hard part… even though the Snow Woman was passive and taken down, her inner self was still resisting becoming a familiar of Duanmu Huai.
Which meant…
"Damn, failed again."
Duanmu Huai couldn't help but let out a harsh curse when he saw the rope slip from the Snow Woman's body. Fearful from his angry roar, the Snow Woman immediately shrank back.
Because the capture of Tutu went smoothly, Duanmu Huai was not aware of the consequences when a demon beast resists from within. Now he understands why demon beast trainers need binding ropes to catch demon beasts. Despite having the Snow Woman bound up nice and tight, the rope would just slide off her body as soon as he was done tying the final knot. It's as if he was trying to bind a piece of porcelain or something.
