Fortunately, Mite's fears did not come to pass.
Great Demon Li Yun's uniqueness far exceeded his imagination.
Not only had he not been angered by Babayak's remarks, he even responded with considerable approval:
"Your concerns are warranted."

"Not to mention that you'll never meet another high-ranking magical creature as willing to guide you as my lord in your lifetime!"
"Even if the two of us combined had a hundred or two hundred lifetimes, we still might not encounter one! Cherish it!"

This time, Mite remained silent and turned his gaze directly toward Babayak.
The reason was simple.
He was not an explorer at all.
