"I'm warning you, don't you dare bully it!" Ouyang Xuanxuan immediately held the little creature tighter and glared at Li Yichen. "You're a grown man. Why are you picking a fight with a pet?"
"I..." Li Yichen felt like crying, but no tears came. Suddenly, he spread his arms and shouted at the sky, "Oh, heavens above! I saved it... I saved it! Can't I even say a few words? Oh, just send down a thunderbolt and strike me dead..."
