Little Bai Takes Flight
You can really tell in these last few chapters how the author wrote himself into a corner. The patriarch was too strong for Xiao ran to just one shot. He might have had a difficult fight, and we can't have that happen. Otherwise, it might have been interesting, and that is not allowed in this story. So he had to magic these two in order to destroy the Cui family. This is proff positive that "enemies" are only piñatas for Xiao ran to hit and for goodies and candy to fall out of.
