Squeeeelll!
The baby qilin, now looking more offended than scared, let out a piercing squeal. It seemed to be protesting in its own way, 'Hey, I'm not just some random refinement material!'
Zhang Wei's gaze settled intently on the squirming qilin in Feng Xinyue's grasp. A calculating look momentarily flickered in his eyes as he contemplated its potential. "I should be able to refine this one as well..." he thought aloud, his voice taking on a sharp, almost predatory edge. For a brief moment, the air around him seemed to chill, his intentions for the creature shining through his gaze.
!!
The qilin jerked violently in Feng Xinyue's hands. She choked on her own voice, her eyes widening in terror.
Feng Xinyue, however, shook her head vehemently, a defiant spark in her eyes. "Uh-uh! No, No, No!" she protested, her voice firm and unyielding.
