Zheng Qianqiu didn't stop him. Instead, he lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. As if to calm himself and deliberately change the subject, he looked at Rong Taotao and asked, "What's your Lifebound Soul Beast?"
Noticing the old professor's interest, Rong Taotao politely replied, "White Clouds and Grey Dogs."
"Oh? A Cloud Peak Soul Beast?" Zheng Qianqiu had only asked casually, but upon hearing Rong Taotao's answer, his interest was genuinely piqued. "Let me see?" he asked.
"Okay." Rong Taotao summoned his Cloud Dog, cupped it in his hands, and offered it to Zheng Qianqiu.
"Ngh..." The Cloud Dog whimpered. Its usual cute, smiling face was gone, and it seemed a little scared. Its solid-looking body even showed faint signs of breaking apart into mist. Its pair of small, glossy black eyes stared warily at Zheng Qianqiu.
