The sudden appearance of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion gave Chu Chen a glimmer of hope. Though he did not know why Xiong Jun had appeared, it was surely related to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion!
Xiong Jun could not possibly ignore the dense World Origin Qi within Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's body, nor could he have specifically brought the Three-Eyed Golden Lion out for a stroll.

Chu Chen shouted. He knew Xiong Jun would not dare
