Inside the cave, Meng glared fiercely at Ming Ji.
Ming Ji unapologetically rebuked Meng. "Look at you, lacking any common sense, causing such a commotion on the snow mountain. And now look what happened—an avalanche."
Si Yan stepped in front of Meng and said to Ming Ji, "Why are you always picking on him?"
Ming Ji retorted, "As if you're the only one who can put up with him."
Si Yan replied, "I've already caused three avalanches, and you've never spoken to me like that. Meng is a Snake Beastman; he's naturally unfamiliar with snowy terrain. Besides, the snow here is unstable; it collapses too easily."
The Snake Beastman suddenly looked very smug. He gently held Si Yan's hand, then abruptly looked up, his eyes, full of aggression and satisfaction, locking with Ming Ji's gaze.
Ming Ji's heart skipped a beat.
Damn. He'd been tricked! That Snake Beastman deliberately provoked him into losing his temper just to make Si Yan side with him more!
