Through the crack in the door, Sunxiao instantly saw Qiao Xixi and Qiao Lie huddled together, whispering.
Sunxiao closed his eyes and pinched his throbbing brow.
Qiao Xixi did her best to keep her voice down, but her whisper, as faint as a mosquito's buzz, still reached Sunxiao's ears with perfect clarity.
Exceptionally keen hearing was the most basic ability for a high-level Star Soul.
After she finished speaking to Qiao Lie, Qiao Xixi planted a kiss on his small face.
"You have to protect yourself, and wait for Mother to come get you."
Qiao Lie's red eyes welled with tears. After a moment's pause, he bashfully climbed off Qiao Xixi.
"I... I know."
"Witch Doctor? Witch Doctor?"
The Wild Bull Demon Beast's voice rang out from downstairs.
Qiao Xixi reluctantly stood up. "Mother has to go now."
Qiao Lie dropped his bashful act and gazed at Qiao Xixi, not wanting her to leave.
