"What?" Xue growled out menacingly.
Linqin flinched, shielding her face with her arms. "I'll bring them back safely, so put down your murderous aura for once!"
"Hahaha!" Wang Jie guffawed, smacking his legs. "Look at you, Yaehai brat! Like a trembling mouse!"
No one knew when Wang Jie managed to stand back up.
"You shut your mouth! You aren't any better than me!"
Wang Jie felt those words right in his bones.
It was true.
He lost to Xue.
"Xue." K'xug called out as he approached them, interrupting their conversation.
"Cecil isn't in much danger, if I have to say...it seems like something in her is impeding the process and protecting her against it. Whatever it is, she won't be in any danger," K'xug explained, making Xue sigh in relief. "But Hana..."
"What about Hana?" Xue questioned, concerned.
K'xug lowered his head, completely silent. His hand shook slightly as he clenched it, a hint of vulnerability in his voice as he said the next few words.
