"Unless… you take me."
The moment Sangze spoke, he transformed into a cloud of black mist and wrapped himself around Sunxiao's waist.
For once, Sunxiao didn't throw him off. Instead, he shifted into his beast form and started heading back with him.
After traveling for a while, Sunxiao clearly felt the force wrapped around his serpentine body slacken.
He caught the falling Sangze with a sweep of his long tail.
Sangze had reverted to his human form and had already passed out.
Sunxiao placed him on the ground, shifted back into his human form, and knelt in front of him. He then gathered a ball of energy in his hand and slowly sent it probing into Sangze's body.
The instant his power entered Sangze, he sensed three different forces pulling against each other inside him. Sangze had likely fainted again from the exhaustion caused by this internal struggle.
