Fang Che almost laughed.
It seemed Lord Yan had truly paid a heavy price this time. He had scattered quite a few Star Spirit Stones, something he had always been reluctant to use.
She was probably hurting badly over it, right?
At the thought of ever-generous Yan Beihan scrunching up her little face in pain, Fang Che could not help but feel his heart soften.
Giant Pythons and human-headed, snake-bodied creatures were still charging against the formation barrier all around them.
But the formation did not move at all.
After watching for a while, he saw white robes fluttering at the doorway within the formation. Feng Xue came out and walked gently over to Bi Yunyan.
She slowly squatted down.
Taking both of Bi Yunyan's hands, which rested before her, into her own, she let Bi Yunyan feel her presence.
Bi Yunyan opened her eyes and glanced at her. She smiled faintly, her gaze saying, Don't worry. This is nothing.
Her eyes were clear and distinct, still carrying their usual mischievousness.
Feng Xue smiled faintly. With her fingers, she gently brushed Bi Yunyan's hair, tidying it for her and tucking several loose strands behind her ears.
With a smile, she transmitted, "How is it? Are you scared?"
A smile appeared at the corners of Bi Yunyan's lips.
Her eyes revealed a smile as well.
But her resolve was firm.
"Scared? What does scared mean? Even if it costs me my life, I have to hold this formation! At a time like this, there's no room for me to be scared."
Although she could not speak or transmit her voice, her gaze and expression were exactly the same as if she had already spoken those words aloud.
Feng Xue smiled gently. "Are you tired? Let me loosen you up a little."
