"Pfft~"
Xie Chuchu could barely hold back her laughter.
Why was she increasingly getting the feeling that the leopard had been "forced" to stay by Master Xiao?
Sigh...
Stay?

Xiao Xiao nodded.

"But..."
"I just find it a little strange..."
Xie Chuchu repeated herself.
"During the competition, the doors to the concert hall were closed."
"The leopard is a monster."
"Not a ghost."
"It can't pass through walls."
"So how did it avoid Xue Jiamin's line
