Thrum!
Three crimson blades formed from Rule Power sliced through the air, severing all three willow branches.
With a sway of her body, purple-haired Chu Xin hugged the golden egg and scampered behind the Nine-colored Deer. Blue-haired Chu Xin had already been hiding there.
The Nine-colored Deer said with a laugh and a sigh, "You two little ones, didn't you say to leave one behind? And yet you call for help before the fight even starts?"
With a pout, purple-haired Chu Xin muttered, "How was I to know that mean lady has no sense of honor in battle? She didn't even target my golden egg but wanted to hit me instead. Daddy said when you meet a Martial Emperor, turn and run; don't fight with them."
The Nine-colored Deer was at a loss for words and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Nine-colored Deer, we agreed you wouldn't interfere, you're not keeping your word."
