Ji Nuan, who was focused on observing Xiu Yan and the beasts, did not notice the faint rustling sound coming from behind her, which was gradually growing louder and closer.
After leading the large beast to a secluded location, Xiu Yan's friends, Ying Yan and his brothers, rushed forward together. They swiftly subdued the gigantic beast, placed it on their shoulders, and flew off into the sky.
"Nuannuan! Watch your back!" As Xiu Yan turned his glance toward Ji Nuan, what he saw frightened him, causing a cold sweat to break out instantaneously on his back. As he swiftly fluttered his wings toward Ji Nuan, he cried out to her in alarm.
Ji Nuan was only aware of the odd presence behind her when Xiu Yan alerted her. She felt as if a chilly entity was gazing at her, sending shivers down her spine and making the faint rustling sound more apparent. She could not ignore it any longer.
