"You?"
The Chief Maid looked over suspiciously.
She did not express her approval before Xu Shu boldly strode past the group of Lantern Sisters and the hood-covered face of the Chief Maid, heading straight for the iron gate.
He didn't hesitate to stretch out his hand, inserting it into the large gap in the gate and seizing the plump guard's lower leg.
Its lower leg was as thick as a door panel with wrinkled skin, and the area showing through the torn trouser leg was covered with thick black hair.
"Um? Who is it? This child is just five years old, its flesh is the most tender, don't bother me!" This monster spat human words, seemingly disturbed during its meal, speaking unclearly with a ferocious glance.
It was only upon getting closer that Xu Shu saw clearly: in its hand, the leg of the "unidentified animal" shockingly belonged to some unfortunate human child.
Ordinarily, just one glance from this monster's eyes would be enough to frighten someone out of their wits.
