It had taken the Sovereign Fox Lord less than a second to appear behind the Xiao twins, faster than they could have possibly comprehended.
The pair of fox goddesses spun around to prostrate themselves upon the ground, grovelling at his feet.
"Sire." They squeaked in unison.
The Fox Lord dismissed the grovelling foxes with a simple wave, while using his other hand to seize the wiggling sack that was dragging behind them. He plucked the sack high into the air with the edge of his ivory fingers, and stared at it with undisguised, dangerous amusement glittering in his phoenix eyes.
Bai Yu shifted inside the sack as he barked out curses. "You fiendish females! No wonder you have not been able to find a mate! Who would want to marry such conniving- Oh, Sire! You're… you're here..." he all but stuttered, his flaming rage deflating instantly.
