Li Yan took a careful look at the crack, then patted the Pig Dragon King on its back, "Shrink down and come with me."
The Pig Dragon King became even more bashful, "I... am just a little demon, truly lacking in power, afraid of messing up the Esteemed Walker's important matters."
Li Yan asked coldly, "You swore to obey my commands without question, and now you're backing out just because you see a bit of blood? Are you saying you don't want to share adversity with me?"
The Pig Dragon King sensed the deadly seriousness in Li Yan's tone and shuddered, hardening its resolve, "I was foolish, I am indeed willing to accompany the Esteemed Walker through hardship. But, but I do beg you, allow me to make preparations and entrust my nagging wife with our affairs before I leave with you..."
Li Yan spat, "Being a coward is one thing, but spewing such unlucky words, I'll use you as bait when I go down. You'll be sure to lead the way."
