After a piercing scream, the originally dark space lit up with red lights. Xiao Lin was the first to rush towards the back, quickly followed by Shou and Yi.
"Should we follow them?" Flame Swallow mused, rubbing the dog's head. "It seems like following them wouldn't mean much for me; maybe we should stay out of this chaos!"
The dog seemed to understand what was being said, but this time, it uncooperatively wriggled in Flame Swallow's arms, trying to jump out. "Hey, what are you trying to do? You've only been with me for a day, and you're already planning to defect?"
Flame Swallow furiously gave the dog a flick on the forehead. A whimper came from the dog's throat, sounding a bit aggrieved and unwilling, its ugly face scrunched but appearing exceptionally cute.
Another sharp scream echoed, and the dog couldn't hold back. It feigned a swipe with its paw, causing Flame Swallow to let go. The dog seized the opportunity to jump down and, in the blink of an eye, disappeared from sight.
