The Tiger Demon swept his gaze around the temple. All five little human children looked panicked, but four of them were looking toward one particularly delectable-looking little girl.
Since the Great Calamity, the Human Race had flourished throughout the world. Every human was born with a trace of True Source, its quantity varying with their talent.

Chen Baiqing glanced at the Foundation Establishment tiger monster before her, then cast a brief look at Cui Hao.
