Chapter 269: Thank You Gift_1

In the midst of the beasts' conversation, Xiu Yan had already rushed to Ji Nuan's side. He swiftly took her into his arms from Ying Da, holding her tightly as though he was holding his entire world.

Ji Nuan, still frightened, clung to Xiu Yan, realizing just how much she didn't want to lose the orc that was him until she faced death moments ago.

Ying Yan and the other beasts followed closely, flapping their wings. The fearsome game they had just hunted was carelessly discarded. Ji Nuan's attack had scared them so much their hearts nearly leapt out of their throats. They paid no mind to the damned beast they had caught, racing over here for their lives.

It took Ji Nuan a while before she softly patted Xiu Yan's back, whispering, "Brother Xiu Yan, I'm all right now, really!"

Upon hearing her words, Xiu Yan pulled her even closer.
