"Shun'er, who is this gentleman..." The elder woman glanced at her son.
"He..." Ma Shun was at a loss for words. He had no idea how to introduce the other man. An immortal? He didn't seem like it, and as for a demon? Remembering the warning, he didn't dare say it even if it meant breaking his teeth. What's more, the other had already said, he was neither an immortal nor a demon, but a taboo...
However, as he held back his words, Ma Shun suddenly recalled his own injury. Could it be... this was also part of the other's plan?
"Lord Xuan..."
While he hesitated, several tendrils had already flown out from behind Chen Xuan, swooping toward the three others besides Ma Shun.
As they neared their targets, the ends snapped open like a giant blood-red mouth, instantly engulfing the three completely. The process was so quick, they had no time to dodge, let alone scream.
Ma Shun watched as his own parents and elder sister turned into cocoons wrapped in a membranous shell.
