The little creature that poked out from behind the Tree branch overhead was not very big, only about the size of a fist. It did not look fierce either. With its round head and chubby body, it actually looked rather adorably naive.

Zheng Qing did not actually want to make such a conflicted expression either.
It was simply because this rat-weasel boss who had just appeared was far too familiar to him—only a few months ago, he had given this "boss" the new name
