Xiao Xiao and the white horse shot forward like cannonballs bursting from their barrels.
The man and the demon raced each other, neither willing to yield.
"Tong tong~"
Sea Child let out an ethereal laugh that seemed to echo on its own.
It cheered for Xiao Xiao one moment, then the white horse the next.
Whoever fell behind got its cheers.
A real fence-sitter.
Xiao Xiao suddenly began to slow down.
The huge shadow before him gradually revealed its true form.
A shark?!
Xiao Xiao blinked.
Now that was an unexpected encounter.
He suddenly felt something and turned to look.
The next second, he couldn't help raising an eyebrow.
At some point, the white horse and Sea Child, who had been running alongside him, had fallen far behind.
Sea Child tilted its head at him, looking a little dazed.
Xiao Xiao smiled at Sea Child.
Then his gaze fell on the white horse's malicious grin. He felt both speechless and amused.
That seahorse-like face of its was better suited to a cold or even fiercer expression.
Seeing it grin like that... was downright jarring and unsettling.
Was it hoping to see him make a fool of himself?
Xiao Xiao turned to look at the gigantic creature steadily closing in on him.
The shark's eyes lit up. It had spotted... food?!
A feast was practically waving at it.
Without hesitation, the shark sped up, cleaving through the water like a battle-axe, its momentum fearsome.
Its bared teeth gleamed with a cold, deadly whiteness.
"Fei Fei~"
A cold glint flashed in Fei Fei's eyes. Before it could make a move, it felt a weight on its head.
It turned to Xiao Xiao in confusion.
Xiao Xiao stroked Fei Fei's head. "Thank you."
