The recently terrified Gongyang Ying and others let out a long breath, their eyes shimmering with brilliance...
But Gongyang Ying couldn't understand why the Shadow Moon Rat suddenly became obedient, when it was clearly about to harm Sikong Jing just moments ago?
As the entire hall fell silent, Sikong Jing clasped his fists towards Yao Yuzhi and asked, "Lord Yao, I shouldn't be considered guilty anymore, right? Can I go back to rest now?"
Yao Yuzhi stared intensely at the Shadow Moon Rat on Sikong Jing's shoulder, equally baffled as to how he had conquered it.
Surely, the first thing she saw was the Shadow Moon Rat's intent to harm him.
Nevertheless, she retorted, "Since the Shadow Moon Rat is your pet beast, why didn't you say so earlier?"
Sikong Jing laughed heartily and replied, "The Shadow Moon Rat is incredibly valuable, and it's also my darling. I think if I weren't forced into a corner, I'd never reveal it, right?"
