Monster Stampede! Monster Stampede...?

Not too long after Reilei called out, the bushes nearby began to shake.

The next moment, two figures emerged. One of them turned out to be Xiao Liang in his human form; however, the person by his side was an unfamiliar face—a young girl.

The young girl looked to be six or seven years old, with hair that echoed the winter's snow and eyes that contained a myriad of colors. She wore a simple pale blue dress that stopped just above her knees, and around her neck was a pendant with one beautiful spherical gemstone attached to it. This young girl was the small doe who had been by Reilei's side since she was born, Ayanellia.

"So slow! Next time, just let me carry you on my back!" Xiao Liang complained.

"..." Ayanellia's mouth moved like she was talking; however, no sound seemed to escape from her mouth.
