Tao Siming looked back but didn't stop, her heart heavy with concern.
Soon after, Gui Jiayi emerged from the front courtyard's hanging-flower gate, along with her came numerous red-eyed feral cats.
Yan Jinsu reacted extremely quickly, fearing that any nearby feral cats would startle the children, and shot each one that approached, swiftly and decisively with one shot apiece.
