176 Side Quest [2]

Meanwhile, Ruyue was running at full speed towards a hidden cave she had spotted in the distance.

Although her range didn't match Damien's entirely, it wasn't that far behind. She was still ahead of him in terms of levels. 

As she felt the wind brush past her face and heard the trees rustling around her, Ruyue felt oddly at peace. It was a feeling like she didn't truly want to leave this forest and return back to her responsibilities. 

But she didn't allow such a feeling to break her mindset, regardless of what her emotions were telling her at the moment, she still had a duty to fulfill. 

She had her master who had taken her in and trained her, protecting her from the outside world as much as she could. He was the one who sent her on this mission, and she had no plans of betraying his trust.

Ruyue shook her head as a slight rosy color emerged on her cheeks. 

'What am I even thinking at this kind of time?'
