Throwing a Tantrum

Gu Xiaonan ran through the forest while carrying Xiao Bai in his arms.

The mystical beasts in the area saw him and quickly made way.

However, there was always one presence that remained locked onto him.

Furrowing his brows, Gu Xiaonan muttered,

This leech never gives up.

Thanks to the protective charm his mother gave him, he managed to fend off their mental attacks; otherwise, he would have already succumbed.

But the charm was not permanent and could only withstand a few more attacks.

He felt the presence drawing closer and closer.

"Stop right there, you brat!" A stern voice echoed from behind.

Simultaneously, a tremendous pressure descended upon him, like a mountain pressing down.

Gu Xiaonan's legs gave way, and he fell to the ground.

"Squeak!"

Xiao Bai, trapped beneath him, let out a pained cry.

A pair of feet descended from above, landing before Gu Xiaonan and Xiaobai.
