Both men immediately froze in place.
Ruru was standing near the doorway, her tiny head tilted curiously to one side. She looked at her two fathers, then at their angry, contorted faces, then at their flared-out tails and aura.
Her little white ears drooped softly. "Are you going to fight again?"
The two men instantly snapped their heads away from each other, retracting their powers in a split second.
"No."
"Of course not."
They answered at the exact same time, their voices completely synchronized.
Ruru narrowed her big eyes, looking at them with deep suspicion. Clearly, she did not believe a single word coming out of either of their mouths.
Rong Ye turned his head and muttered under his breath, "I only stopped because Ruru is watching."
Xuan Long immediately fired back in a low voice, "I stopped because I didn't want to dirty my hands."
Rong Ye's eyes bugged out. "YOU…!"
