"Mister Leopard."
The child turned his head.
"I'm leaving."
"Goodbye."
The child kept waving.
Only when he could no longer see Mister Leopard did he reluctantly lower his hand and turn around.
Zhujian slowly stretched.
All right.
The human cub had left.
Lord Xiao Xiao had left, too.
Then it was time for it to leave as well.
Zhujian nimbly leaped down from the branch.
It headed in the opposite direction from the one Lord Xiao Xiao and the human cub had taken.
Lord Xiao Xiao...
It would probably run into him again.
After all, they had crossed paths so many times already.

Xiao Xiao gestured for the child to wait a moment.
He took out his phone.

The leaves and branches were thick and lush.
Everything was verdant.
But that nimble, agile figure was nowhere to be seen.
