"Want to see my husband again?"
Katerina's massive, charging body came to an abrupt halt, her powerful limbs carving two long furrows into the ground.
"M-Master, you mean...?"
Katerina spoke tremblingly, hope flashing in her eyes. Little Luo beside her looked at the master she worshipped as a god with the same gaze.
"Yes! Exactly what you think."
Though Katerina had slammed on the brakes, Lin Yu remained perfectly still atop her head, as if inertia did not exist.
"Th-This... can it really be done?"
Katerina could not help muttering. Her eyes held hope, fear, unease, and disbelief. It was hard to imagine a magical beast's eyes displaying such intense changes.
"You'll find out when the time comes. Let's go."
Lin Yu answered calmly, saying nothing in response to Katerina's disbelief. After all, no one would readily believe something like this without seeing it firsthand.
"O-Okay!"
With mixed emotions, Katerina began moving again. Her mind was now a complete mess. If her master truly could do what she thought he could, then what kind of being was he? Even the legendary Beast God might not compare to him!
"Roar..."
"Roar..."
Seeing the familiar clan grounds ahead and the Blazing Flame Mad Tigers whose eyes gleamed with mockery, Katerina's eyes instantly reddened. Little Luo was no different. Then, the two of them roared at the sky in unison, leaping forward and landing before the several Blazing Flame Mad Tigers.
"A human?"
The Blazing Flame Mad Tigers all narrowed their tiger eyes at Lin Yu standing atop Katerina's head. What was going on? Why was a human standing on Katerina's head?
"Katerina, I never thought you'd still dare show your face before me. What, tired of living? Done hiding? Or are you counting on this human to stand up for you?"
