Su Yu froze for a moment, then wrapped Wang Dong'er in his arms.
Wang Dong'er gently nuzzled against Su Yu's chest like a kitten, greedily savoring his warmth.
Su Yu stroked Wang Dong'er's long hair with his right hand, letting it slide downward as a faint smile touched his lips.
"Silly girl!"
Wang Dong'er deeply inhaled Su Yu's scent, enjoying that long-lost sense of security.
"Su... Su Yu, aren't you going to use this drop of essence blood yourself?"
Wang Dong'er asked softly.
Su Yu shook his head. "What I lack now isn't treasure, but that spark of inspiration."
"The Bright Holy Dragon King's essence blood is indeed a priceless treasure, but it won't do much for me."
"But for you, it's indispensable."
"Once you absorb this drop of essence blood, you'll be close to the Titled Douluo realm."
"The battles ahead will only grow more brutal. The stronger you are, the better you can protect yourself."
"I can't look after all of you every moment of every day."
Hearing this, Wang Dong'er fell silent.
That was right. In this crisis spreading across the entire continent, Su Yu was the one under the greatest pressure.
Every order and every powerful enemy had to be handled by him.
He was already under immense pressure.
Yet she was still so weak. Forget helping him—even stronger Abnormal Creatures were beyond her ability to defeat.
On the battlefield, she would be nothing more than cannon fodder. She truly needed to grow stronger.
Even if she couldn't help Su Yu, she couldn't drag him down.
"Alright, I understand."
Wang Dong'er nodded her little head and reluctantly slipped out of Su Yu's embrace.
Since the war had begun, she hadn't been this close to Su Yu for more than half a year.
"Good girl~"
Su Yu
