As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere instantly became stagnant.
Xue An, or rather Taotie, grinned.
Amidst the laughter, a mighty force surged towards Pan Ruomei.
Pan Ruomei also smiled.
But as she beamed, the force that was headed straight for her dissipated into nothingness.
Then, the teapot and teacups in front of her exploded, with scalding tea mixed with porcelain shards rushing toward Taotie and Yue Guannan.
Taotie opened its bloody maw and swallowed all the attacks in one gulp.
Pan Ruomei's eyes flickered slightly at the sight, and she sneered, "An ancient ferocious beast, Taotie? Unfortunately, it's just an immature form and poses no real threat."
As she spoke, Ximen Haoye silently appeared behind Taotie and struck down with a palm.
Taotie roared in anger, sidestepped to dodge the strike, and then tangled with Ximen Hao.
Pan Ruomei let out a cold snort, and as the mist dispersed, intended to drag Taotie into an illusion.
