With a blood-red afterimage howling past, Jinyue, who was crouching by the bushes, could barely keep her eyes open against the fierce wind.
When Jinyue managed to open her eyes again, she was startled to find that a certain figure beside her had vanished.
"What the--!"
"Where did my boyfriend go?!"
The foxgirl widened her eyes and hastily raised her tail from within the bushes.
But before she could finish speaking, another figure darted past in the distance--
"Damn Demoness! Put Lady Ruoning down!"
Xumo chased and cursed simultaneously, running at full speed like the wind, following the blood-red afterimage's escape route. He transformed into a gust that swept past Jinyue's face. Once again, Jinyue's hair was thrown into disarray by the violent wind.
This time, however, Jinyue realized the gravity of the situation. She quickly clenched her fists, and the three demon tails behind her erupted into intense flames.
