Yan Shubing had thought that as long as Leng Tianjiao stepped forward, she wouldn't have to go to her death. But Zhu Ping'an's next words plunged her into an icy abyss.
"No! You're staying in Secret Realm Number Thirteen!"
Zhu Ping'an refused Yan Shubing without the slightest hesitation.
In the original story, Leng Tianjiao had barely been mentioned, which meant she wasn't an important character. If she appeared in the Beast Tide, she was as good as dead.
"Why not? You can go crazy and throw your life away, but I can't?" Leng Tianjiao said, chin thrust out. "You promised me you wouldn't risk your life again!"
Zhu Ping'an froze for a moment, then took a deep breath and explained.

"How sure are you?" Leng Tianjiao asked.

"Don't die."
"Mm."
Zhu Ping'an dragged Yan Shubing out of the secret realm. As they left, Yan Shubing continued cursing at the top of her lungs.

When Yan Shubing was dragged out of the secret realm, her voice abruptly cut off.
"Leng Tianjiao, do you really believe Zhu Ping'an can save Green City?" Cai Kun couldn't help asking.
Facing a terrifying natural disaster like the Beast Tide, they had completely set aside their previous conflicts.
"What does it matter if I don't believe him?
