The moment this nearly insane idea surfaced, Xiao Yan could not help but shudder. Yet no matter how he tried to suppress it, the thought remained coiled around his heart, impossible to dispel, like a demon haunting his body...
With his attempts to drive it away proving futile, Xiao Yan gradually became fascinated by the thought without realizing it. He murmured inwardly, Ever since I advanced to Dou Di, I haven't done this again...
Across from him, the Three-winged Unicorn lightly swished its massive tail. Each swing created a powerful gale in the sky. One could only imagine what terrifying strength that huge tail contained.
"Heh heh, have you finally given up?" The Three-winged Unicorn glanced at the motionless Xiao Yan and laughed.
"Giving up is good too. It'll save you from wasting your strength for nothing." With a smile, the Three-winged Unicorn raised its proud head and turned slightly, gazing toward the distant horizon as it muttered, "That woman should have reached safety by now, right? My interception mission should be over too..."
It then turned back to Xiao Yan. Its booming laughter carried unconcealed, arrogant mockery. "Among the humans I've met, you brat are fairly impressive. Keep cultivating hard, and one day you'll surpass me. But for now..."
After saying that, the Three-winged Unicorn lightly swayed its enormous tail. Its gaze remained fixed on every movement Xiao Yan and the other made as its body slowly retreated. Clearly, the cautious creature had begun searching for a way out. After all, this human brat was that little girl's brother. If it attacked him and that little girl found out after it returned, it would definitely be in deep trouble.
Xiao Yan stared intently at the gradually retreating Three-winged Unicorn. The struggling thought in his heart finally hardened into resolve.
