Zhu Yan?
When it came to such sinister beasts, Su Che knew of one.
Lady Xie kept one of those beasts and usually had her serve as a maid.
Why was the Rakshasa Sea trying to hunt another one down?

Gongshu Yun said, "But with just the four of us at Reverted Elixir, can we really subdue that Zhu Yan?"
"That Zhu Yan hasn't fully grown yet." Ling Zhenzi laid his cards on
