Qiao Jie glared at the young woman as she relaxed herself on the ferocious demon beast, but she was not afraid of his murderous gaze at all.

Qiao Jie first glanced at Long Yuan, then turned his head to look at Yue Ran, and then snorted coldly before returning to land on the ship to stand behind the emperor.
