Xiao Yi ignored Xiong Jun's gaze and calmly, gently nodded to Di Tian. Then, with one arm around Gu Yuena's slender waist, he lightly swept forward and flew toward the mist-shrouded Lake of Life ahead.
Behind them, Zi Ling glanced at the somewhat excited Di Tian. Not understanding why, she could only scratch her head blankly before her figure flickered and silently merged into the void, vanishing completely.
Di Tian stood quietly where he was, pondering to himself. It seemed that his lord's plan had progressed smoothly; she had presumably thoroughly subdued this human. Yet for some reason, an indescribable sense of strangeness continued to linger in his heart.
But the thought vanished in an instant. Di Tian swiftly suppressed his distractions. He had to be overthinking it—given his lord's world-shaking wisdom, everything was under her control.
