"...Awooo?"
Taotie lazily lifted his eyelids.
Did they look alike?
How were they alike?
He was a dignified Great Yao—
"They're both so tiny."
Taotie's pupils contracted.
Then he flew into a rage.
"Rrrr~"
So tiny?
If he showed his true form, this human would be scared out of his wits—

Snowflakes scattered everywhere.
