Bai Yujun tried hard to tilt her head back.
From this angle, she could clearly see the enormous nostrils of the four-antlered White Deer. A typical non-carnivorous divine beast—grass-eaters and meat-eaters differed greatly. No fangs, no claws, and a gentle temperament.
Fortunately, having a deer guard the gate was better than having some other Fierce Beast. At least it could be reasoned with.
