A rustling sound emanated from the bushes. Something was approaching! But could such a faint sound really be a threat? Mu Yuanzhi and Gu Rongjin exchanged a suspicious glance. Gu Rongjin thought it might be similar to the giant python from earlier; perhaps the sounds a soft-bodied creature could make were limited, or perhaps it was capable of masking its own movements.

Qilin reached for his hidden weapons, but the Monk blocked his hand. "It’s just a cat. There’s no need for that."
