Xiang Ling stood before the three spirit beasts who were in their human forms, one of them being none other than Xuelin.
She kept her gaze sharp, and her presence commanded respect as she scrutinized the two men in front of her. They stood tall, their expressions calm, but she could hear just how wildly their hearts were beating.
Though she felt bad for the poor men, she didn't allow them to relax... yet.
"Master-"
Before Xuelin could utter another word, Xiang Ling raised a hand, silencing her.
Xiang Ling took her time, studying Wei Min and Lu Ying closely. Both were from the White Lion family, and they recently went through their Heavenly Tribulation, allowing them to take human form.
That alone was enough to make them one of the most powerful spirit beasts to exist in the Five Realms. Yet, she made them wait, letting the tension build. She could sense their nerves, but they refused to show weakness.
