Chapter 248: Two hundred and forty-eight Held accountable
"Is this... that fiery red mouse?"
When Chi Yan spoke up, Mo Qing also recognized the Fire Cloud Rat’s identity, her gaze turned somewhat curious, but she didn’t take any notice of Chi Yan’s hostility.
Just like when she first met Sect Master Yu Shu, Mo Qing could not understand why the extremely proud Vein Demon, Chi Yan, would willingly follow a human.
Moreover, Mo Qing was clearly aware that back then at Yurong Mountain, Yun Xiao was only at the Meridian Gathering Realm Middle Stage, while this fiery red mouse that had withstood one of her strikes without perishing must have at least broken through to the Fourth Rank Low Level, which was even more enigmatic.
"Chi Yan, calm down!"
Hearing Chi Yan and Mo Qing speaking one after the other, Yun Xiao extended his left hand and gently stroked Chi Yan’s raised fur, first reprimanding it, then saying, "This is my senior sister Mo Qing. You should be more polite to her in the future!"
With Yun Xiao’s soothing words, Chi Yan’s fur gradually softened, but the pair of small eyes that looked at Mo Qing still held a hint of wariness. Clearly, the slap from that time had left an indelible impression on it.
Yun Xiao naturally knew that Chi Yan was brooding over what happened in Yurong Volcano that day. He patiently explained again: "Chi Yan, that incident was a misunderstanding. Senior sister Mo Qing and I have reconciled. You mustn’t be impolite."
It wasn’t until Yun Xiao’s words fell that Chi Yan finally withdrew its aggressive gaze, eventually settling on Yun Xiao’s right shoulder, staying completely still.
"This little fellow is rather cute. Is his name Chi Yan?"
