Meng Yan was crying as if terrified out of her wits. Her clothes were ripped in several places, and there were traces of blood on her arm. Ye Chen couldn't bear to see whether there were any traces of blood on her face or not. He held her close and gently helped her up, reassuring her with a smile, "Don't worry, it's over. I've subdued it."
Still afraid to turn around, Meng Yan asked, "Did the Zen Master let a monster into the city?"
Ye Chen gave a small smile and replied, "No, quickly get up. I have it under control."
Meng Yan tried her best to display her shock and confusion. She guessed it must've been Ling'er's idea, so she purposefully held onto Ye Chen tightly and wouldn't let go.
With great effort, Ye Chen managed to pry her hands off him. He guided her in front of him, picked up an intact chair and let her sit down.
"What about the Black Panther?"
Ye Chen picked up the Crystal Beast from the ground and said, "This creature transformed into it."
