Chapter 72: Stupid beast

I roared, baring my ivory fangs and snapping, "Don't be too much!" She looked surprised eyes wide, form frozen as if shocked by my outburst. Silence stretched for a long time.

She said. I wished to chuckle, but instead, I ended up gritting my teeth and looking up at her high up in the tree, when had she returned? In that form, if I jumped up and encompass her throat with my jaws and sank my fangs into her delicate flesh, if I will be able to kill her or suffer?

I felt the latter would be possible. I felt that she could shift fast than I could attack. Why?
