When Bai Nuanxi heard Huo Muchen's words, she glanced at him, wanting to run over but hesitated because of the leopard beside him.
"Sit." Huo Muchen patted Brent on the back of his neck.
The obedient Brent took two steps back and sat down.
Taking advantage of the moment, Bai Nuanxi dashed over and nestled into Huo Muchen's arms, remaining motionless.
She was genuinely terrified. Anyone who witnessed a beast devouring a human would be scared out of their wits.
The coldness in Huo Muchen's eyes softened considerably when Bai Nuanxi threw herself into his embrace.
If she had run away out of fear, he would have broken her legs, chained her, and made her belong to him alone.
Fortunately, Bai Nuanxi did not retreat.
