Chapter 77: Prison Break
She squeezes her eyes shut as her heart started to race impeccably fast, she couldn't decide it was it because of fear of darkness or it was being close to...and enveloped in his warmth.
"What is it?" He asked her, feeling she completely froze against him.
"I am scared of darkness," She said in low voice suppressing a shudder.
The tunnel was too narrow and they can see nothing, Xian Zhen who used to fight in darkness had complete practice a way out here, he can find his way easily.
"Its fine, I know this tunnel, Nothing will happen. No need to be scared," He grabbed her wrist again to guide her, he pulled her through the narrow space walking first. She followed his lead stiffly, still not opening her eyes. Xian Zhen could read her fear. He calmly and unhurriedly leads them in the darkness to another trap door that opens in the centre of the prison, but she was still very slow as she walked. Xian Zhen thought of distracting her.
