It took several hours for Wu Jian to recover enough to speak. He eventually realized he was lying in a crater… which he could only assume he made when that man smacked him with… with… uh… what did he get hit with? Had that been the man’s tail? He couldn’t even figure it out. Whatever the case, he’d been bested in a single attack. This had never happened before.
“So, now that you can speak, tell me, why do I smell both Byakko and Lord Seiryu on you,” said the man. It was not a question.
“You already know why I smell like Byakko. I don’t know why I smell like Seiryu though. I haven’t met any dragon… oh.” Wu Jian paused, eyes going wide.
The man raised a brow. “Thought of something?”
“My lover practices the Nine Heavenly Dragons Embodiment cultivation method. Could that be why?”
The moment he finished talking, the man squatting next to him drew his lips into a thin line. Wu Jian saw a pair of very sharp canines jutting from his mouth.
