"W-what are you trying to do?" Without realizing it, Luo Yan put his little hands over his bottom, covering it fearfully. Those sharp fangs sent an inexplicable chill through him; he was afraid this fellow would bite him if he let his guard down.
"Woof! This emperor sees darkness between your brows. A bloody calamity may await you, so I shall show you great mercy and divine your future!" Big Black Dog approached with a catlike gait, elegant yet vicious.
"Doggy, don't bully Older Brother!" Xiao Nannan jumped off Big Black Dog and stood between him and Luo Yan, spreading her arms to block Black Emperor in a huff.
Such an unusual action from the normally obedient Xiao Nannan immediately astonished everyone, especially Big Black Dog. He knew this child's origins all too well.
"Nannan, move aside. Uncle Black Emperor just wants to check this little brat's background. What if he's a villain who approached little sister Xian'er with bad intentions and hurts her?" Black Emperor put away his vicious, teeth-baring expression and spoke pleasantly, his face wreathed in smiles.
Xiao Nannan remained unmoved, shielding Luo Yan firmly. "No, he isn't! Older Brother isn't a bad person! Older Brother is the best person in the whole world!"
Seeing Xiao Nannan defend Luo Yan so fiercely, Black Emperor's expression immediately darkened. He glared at Luo Yan viciously. "Woof! What bewitching potion did you feed Nannan? Did you tamper with her somehow? Do you know who she is? I advise you not to invite suffering upon yourself. If you anger the person behind her, even your ashes will be scattered!"
He and Xiao Nannan had known each other for nearly a million years. Though the child never grew up, Black Emperor cared for her devotedly and treated her as his own child.
