"No problem." Chen Li released the bowstring.
Yao Guang let out a breath of relief and slowly released her arms from around Chen Li's waist.
Seeing this, the others also let go one by one, still somewhat doubtful.
Only after they saw the blood-red judgment barrier recede like the tide and vanish completely did everyone finally breathe a true sigh of relief.
No one had expected Chen Li to be the one most prone to losing his temper.
"Sorry. I got impulsive again." Chen Li put away the Peaceful Longbow and rubbed his brow, his voice carrying a rare trace of irritation.
"It is nothing. Or rather, you have already been very restrained." Yao Guang straightened her somewhat disheveled dress, which had been thrown into disorder during the earlier scuffle, her tone returning to its usual composure.
"Although I have always kept myself only slightly stronger than ordinary people so that I could understand them, I've realized that the more I understand them, the less I can tolerate this world." Chen Li sighed.
Because the more he understood ordinary people, the more he understood this land's malice toward them.
Yao Guang walked up to Chen Li, ignored Fu Xuan, who was standing before him as a human shield, and directly raised her hand to straighten the collar that had become slightly disordered amid the chaos.
Caught between them, Fu Xuan tilted her head up and looked at her senior sister's profile, so close at hand.
Fu Xuan felt an itch atop her head, as though a hat was about to grow there.
"I understand. After all, if we possessed power like yours, we might not necessarily have your self-control. Were it someone else, they might have stopped eating beef on the very first day they arrived on the Terra Continent."
