Sangze stood up, his mismatched eyes dimming.
"Big Snake, you're acting very strange tonight."
Sunxiao's expression was impassive. "Only for tonight."
"Oh? And why is that? Do tell."
Sunxiao simply glanced at Jin Ling's door before looking away. "This is something Jin Ling deserves."
A flicker of confusion crossed Sangze's eyes. The fact that the Golden Tiger Beast could make Sunxiao willingly step aside had truly piqued his curiosity.
"Come now, Big Snake. I want to hear why that Golden Tiger Beast deserves this."
Jin Ling had just finished his bath and returned to the room, his hair still dripping. He was surprised to see Qiao Xixi come in. "How are you back so soon?"
Qiao Xixi walked over, took his hand, and had him sit on the bed. She grabbed a pelt from the wooden rack, stepped behind him, and began to dry his hair.
"I missed you, so I washed up and hurried back."
