Li Pan quickly pulled his hand back,
"Stupid dog! My hand's covered in poison! No licking allowed!"
Xiaohei whimpered, "Whine..."
"Alright, alright, eat it. Is it tasty or not?"
Li Pan threw the snake meat in his hand to Xiaohei. Watching it wag its tail as it ate, he nodded. It seemed fine—so long as the Feathered Serpent's power was ineffective against the psychic system...
Then Li Pan reached out, grabbed the golden ring around Xiaohei's neck, and gave it a fierce tug. With a howl of black wind and a swirl of thick smoke and shadows, the black dog transformed into a mage robe that cloaked the faceless man from head to toe. The golden ring also turned into a ring worn on his finger.
Li Pan dove forward, merging with his own shadow. Slowly rising within the swirling clouds of smoke, he became a two-headed shadow wolf, baring his blood-soaked fangs and lunging at the scattered chunks of snake sashimi littering the ground!
