The young woman in the shop had just tugged at my sleeve, indicating that there might be something worth guarding against.
Of course, whether Fairy Lu Chen was merely putting on an act or telling the truth could only be known after I tested it.
So I replied, "All right. If it's really something important, then go with them. I'll stroll around here for a while."
The moment I said that, not only did Lu Chen freeze, but even the burly man and several Dao Proving Immortals revealed barely perceptible oddities in their eyes.
Lu Chen reacted quickly as well. She clung coquettishly to my arm and said, "God Xia, I'm scared. Why don't you come with me?"
"Are you going to get rough with her?" I looked at the burly man.
"Heh, that's hard to say. If she disagrees with our Immortal Lord, it wouldn't be strange for us to detain her." The burly man snorted.

"Are you tired of living? We'll loosen your skin for you today!"
"Don't speak so absolutely! Our Immortal Lord said that if you dare refuse to go, neither of you will be able to leave!"
Several Dao Proving Immortals immediately began shouting.
I looked at Lu Chen and said, "You go first. No one can take you away today."
