Wei Jiayi looked at Gao Lan Mei sideways, helplessly. The way she is glaring at him, with the small flame on her hand is enough to threaten him.
It should be easy to follow his wife's wishes. However, he still trying to think about how to explain to her what is going on. He is also unsure how she will react, after seeing the current situation in front of him.
So Wei Jiayi did not move and continued to block her path while looking ahead, to make sure the beast in front of him is not going to attack suddenly.
With a snort, "What? Not moving? You still need to explain why Kai Kai is hiding from us earlier." Gao Lan Mei spoke again, unhappily.
The hound did not even greeted them or show itself when they arrive in the palace. That only means something is not right, as Kai Kai enjoys being petted by her.
Though she does not have any contract with the hound, Gao Lan Mei is aware that it prefers her presence.
