Holy S**T

Lory lit a torch and started her journey. She was more aware of her surrounding this time around. The dormant survival instincts she had long honed with practice and experience were awoken with the near-death experience. The amulet given to her by Zhao Li Xin reduced her aches and bruises and also kept her body warm despite the temperature around her being cold.

[Lory, are you good?] Girsha couldn't stop worrying. The current Lory was not the same as the Lory who used to travel with him in the past. Lory was now weaker and he couldn't stop being anxious for her. The fact that he was also weak worsened his anxiety. He didn't think they could fight a strong beast by themselves if they encountered one.

[I'm well fed, have had enough sleep and my body feels warm. I'm good overall] Lory said in a perfunctory manner.

[Thanks to your boyfriend] Girsha commented.

[Yup, thanks to him] Lory couldn't agree more.
