Qian Renxue's Bitter Regret

"..."

Hearing why Qian Renxue had traveled so far to return,

Ye Tian still looked puzzled.

Her explanation did not add up...

"Xue'er, I don't think there's anything to worry about, is there?"

Holding Jin Yue'er in his arms, Ye Tian looked at Qian Renxue and said softly, "My teacher is a peerless powerhouse at level ninety-nine. You could even call her the strongest person on land now. With her around, even if I couldn't defend myself, she could keep me safe..."

"I..."

Qian Renxue opened her mouth, then hesitated.

How could she tell him

that, to her, Bibi Dong was the greatest danger of all?

With strength like hers,

Whether that madwoman chose to take advantage of him was entirely up to her!

Besides,

Qian Renxue had stopped Jin Yue'er from questioning Ye Tian so bluntly because that madwoman's identity frightened her!

If that madwoman really had done something to him,

what was Qian Renxue supposed to do?!

She could accept Yue'er because they had been close friends since childhood, but she could never accept... that madwoman she considered half an enemy!

But was she supposed to distance herself from Ye Tian because of that madwoman,

then watch him get entangled with her, Yue'er, and who knew how many other women?

She could not accept that either!

And so,

Qian Renxue went from desperately wanting an answer to fearing it.

If she could,

she would rather pretend nothing had happened. But she could not forget the nightmare that had plagued her for over half a month, of Ye Tian being devoured over and over!

Under Ye Tian's familiar, gentle gaze,

Qian Renxue slowly lowered her eyes and clenched her fists, unable to find the words...

"..."

Ye Tian fell silent too.
