"Me? The Empress of Xueyan Country is my sister, so who do you think I am?" As he spoke, he pulled a signal flare from his wide sleeve and shot it straight into the sky.
Shao Kang's heart surged with joy in an instant. Capturing the brother-in-law of Xueyan Country could mean salvation for Mingyi Country. Watching Xiaobai's eyes grow more excited from their snake-like state, he gripped the Iron Hammer and lunged at Xiaobai.
Xiaobai dodged with a light flutter, and before Shao Kang could see clearly, Xiaobai was already behind him, extending his chubby, furry claws to strike at Shao Kang from behind.
Shao Kang turned sharply, facing a smiling face so close that it unnerved him. A cold sweat began to break out as he realized he hadn't seen how Xiaobai moved, and the youth had disappeared in that instant.
"Iron Hammer? You truly are ruthless, using such an ugly thing against me, a Divine Beast. Unforgivable," Xiaobai squinted at the ashen-faced Shao Kang.
