"It's fine as long as you're okay."
Lu Yunxiao nodded, then revealed an apologetic expression. "Sorry, I came too late."
"No, you came at just the right time."
Xiao Yu shook her head and smiled gently.
Actually, she wasn't afraid of death. She was only afraid that her death would be meaningless.
Lu Yunxiao had come to save her this time, and that alone satisfied her more than anything.
Even if she died right away, she would do so willingly.
How could she blame Lu Yunxiao for arriving late?
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Lu Yunxiao smiled, his gaze growing even gentler.

She put people at ease.
She could always see things from others' perspectives and always thought of others first.

Yet he had never seen Xiao Yu's fiery side. From the very first time they met, his impression of her had been one of intelligence and gentleness.
He was not a heartless man, so naturally, he could understand the trace of affection Xiao Yu held for him.
The favor of a beauty was the hardest thing to bear!
Lu Yunxiao sighed inwardly, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Yu once more.
"A Six-Star Dou Zun already. You've improved quickly!"
Lu Yunxiao remarked with feeling. Xiao Yu's cultivation had advanced greatly.

"It was all thanks to Qing'er. Along the way, she gave all the Energy Crystals to me. Otherwise, I couldn't have improved this much."
Xiao Yu smiled faintly.
At the Dou Zun level, every additional star was no longer as easy
