Zhao Bai felt that was definitely how he would answer, like some uninhibited wandering rogue from a frontier town.
Of course, it was more likely that Seele's pupils would turn red, crimson claws would extend from her arms, and Zhao Bai would be cut in two before he could react. Then, amid a sea of blood and entrails, Seele would tightly embrace Sister Bronya, who belonged to her alone.
