Qi Bai's warning came too late. The person before her suddenly attacked Su Yu.
Su Yu's pupils constricted. She reacted in a flash, throwing herself into Ren Qing's arms. Ren Qing held her as a semicircular black screen rose before them, blocking the attack.
Propelled by his power, they shot backward.
A cold, sinister voice rang out. "Tsk, tsk. To think you useless females would be so vigilant."
Still shaken in Ren Qing's arms, Su Yu turned to see the "Qi Bai" on the stairs. The hand he had on the ground instantly transformed into a writhing octopus tentacle.
At the same time, his body bizarrely swelled and twisted. His facial features shifted rapidly, and he soon transformed into a different, unfamiliar, black-haired male.
The male was incredibly tall and darkly handsome. His eyes were red, and a scar ran from the corner of one eye. He was staring at Su Yu with a predatory gaze, a wicked smile playing on his lips.
Those red eyes made Su Yu's heart sink.
'A Stray Beast!'
