One ring wasn't enough. A second and then a third formed in quick succession, linking together to create three crystal-clear circlets. Interlocked, they steadily held Xiaojiu suspended in the center.
Hu Zi, Leopard, and Bai Wan, the three dogs, squatted nearby with their eyes wide, their faces etched with astonishment.
The next moment, under the watchful gaze of three pairs of canine eyes and Liu Fu's little head poking out from the window, the three linked water rings shimmered faintly. They lifted Xiaojiu, suspended in the middle, slowly off the ground.
Xiaojiu was clearly startled as well. Her four paws instinctively scrambled for a moment, but she found the water rings beneath her were stable, like standing on an invisible platform.
