Underwater, Xiya had to pull Qiao Xixi along to dodge the attacks.
As they dodged the Shark Beasts' attacks, the tiger cub in Qiao Xixi's arms was jostled around.
The tiger cub opened its eyes, its gilded pupils emitting a cold, faint glow in the darkness.
When the Shark Beasts attacked again, the tiger cub let out a little "AOWU!" that made Qiao Xixi's chest tremble.
"AOWU!"
The attacking Shark Beasts seemed to hit an invisible barrier, suddenly crashing into each other in pairs.
Xiya seized the opportunity and pulled Qiao Xixi away.
Qiao Xixi didn't let out a breath until she felt they were far away from the Shark Beasts. She hugged the tiger cub tightly and planted a kiss on it.
"My little cub, you're pretty amazing!"
The tiger cub had been drowsy, and its mother's kiss woke it right back up. 'But Mother smells so good. I like Mother's kisses.'
'But this cub is sleepy. This cub just wants to go sleep-sleep now.'
"Mother, we're here."
