As soon as Xiao Jiu saw the newcomer, it hovered in midair and shouted excitedly, "Master, Master, you're finally here? The carriage driver is a bad guy, hit him, hit him, he wants to eat Xiao Jiu."
Xiao Jiu was very angry, wondering why all humans wanted to eat its meat.
"Relax, in a bit your master will peel off his skin and let you eat to your heart's content."
"Good, great, eat human meat, eat human meat." Xiao Jiu seemed to vent a long-held breath as it croaked excitedly.
Turns out the person on horseback was Xuexue. She had ridden hard day and night and finally caught up.
"Hahahaha, and here I was wondering who it was. Turns out it's just a little girl, talking so big—aren't you afraid you'll choke on your own words?" The carriage driver burst out laughing, clearly not taking Xuexue seriously at all.
