"Don't leave," the tiger beastman said weakly. "I promised to follow you after you saved my life. I want to repay you for saving my life."
"Oh, that… no need to do that." Sisi smiled reluctantly. She would never trust a promise coming from a predator's mouth. This tiger had just escaped death, and he might go hungry at any time. It would be ironic if she became his next meal after saving him. "I'm just helping you because you seem to have a mission that forces you to stay alive. But it would be great if you don't eat me if we ever meet again."
"I will never eat my savior…" the tiger beastman replied. He was still imposing, even in his heavily wounded state, but his eyes were honest. He looked at Sisi with an earnest gaze, as if he had already considered her as his own.
Yet Sisi continued to stay on guard.
