Stalling for time

The wood woman revealed a deep frown when she heard this.

She was about to stab that wooden hand of hers into Lin Li Zi's neck to draw some blood to show that she meant business, but she found that there was nothing there.

She had been so focused on Lin Fan that she didn't even notice that Lin Li Zi had suddenly disappeared.

When the wood woman looked at Lin Fan again, she found that Lin Li Zi was actually in Lin Fan's hand.

He was carrying her in one hand while holding the sword in his other.

She hadn't even seen him move or pull out this sword, but here he was having done both.

Just how had he done it?

Lin Li Zi also had a shocked look on her face when she saw this.

One moment, she had been staring at Lin Fan, but then the next, she was in his arms.

She didn't even know how it had happened.
