"Nothing could compare to you. These days, I kept thinking about why you refused to accept this power and join the demons..."
Something like familial affection gleamed on his lizard-like face.
Qing Ye sat in silence, utterly calm.
Why hadn't the rescue arrived yet?
The lizardman continued, "I always thought you were disgusted by it, but that wasn't it. As the beastification deepened, I gradually came to understand certain truths. The flesh and blood of family is sweeter than that of ordinary people. To me, your untainted flesh is like succulent lamb."
Qing Ye's heartbeat finally began to quicken.
This was way too exciting, wasn't it?
"Until today, when you came before me, I finally understood what you meant. You actually wanted me to..."
Screech—
The smoothly moving sports car came to a sudden halt. Its tires scraped against the ground, filling the air with the unpleasant stench of burning rubber.
"Why did we stop?"
The lizardman lifted his head irritably and glared at the driver. The blood vessels at the back of his neck throbbed faintly, covered in beads of sweat.
If he couldn't come up with an answer, he would probably be swallowed alive.
The driver pointed ahead. The lizardman followed his finger and saw a man walking toward them, carrying an utterly suppressed, overwhelming presence.
Every step was filled with authority.
Zhao Bai had heard the entire conversation. He felt that if he didn't step in now, this bastard was about to eat someone.
"Heh heh, are there still people this blind these days?"
The lizardman removed his hat, revealing his pale body. His pupils were a faint golden yellow, and a huge tail dragged behind him, marking him as something completely unlike a human.
He got out of the car, his tail pounding against the ground.
