Escorting Supplies (2)

"They—they didn't get this mission. I just clicked into it by accident."

"By accident?" Li Yu did not press the matter further.

"This escort mission lasts longer than the usual patrol missions. Is Shi Niang really comfortable letting you take it alone?"

"I'm strong. I'm already Tier 2."

Li Yu's eyelid twitched. He had been thinking of protecting a beauty, only to find that she was not weak herself.

"Haha, I was overthinking it."

He sighed inwardly at his delusion of protecting others. In reality, he was someone who needed protection himself. Nearly half a year had passed, yet he was still stuck at Tier 2 without the slightest sign of progress.

Feeling somewhat dejected, Li Yu did not continue the previous topic. Instead, he turned his attention to the lovestruck Ōtsutsuki in front of him.

"Tier 3, young master, guard."

Ōtsutsuki Yamei repeated those keywords to herself. Then that confirms it.

"Is some young master from a major family joining the team too?"

"I'd guess so."

"Miss Yamei, please allow me to protect you during this mission." The short, stocky Ōtsutsuki climbed to his feet and spoke to Ōtsutsuki Yamei with a sincere expression.

Li Yu nearly rolled his eyes. He had been at the Ōtsutsuki clan stronghold for quite some time, yet he had never seen someone so shameless.

The short, stocky Ōtsutsuki struck several poses that he clearly thought were cool and handsome. How did Li Yu know? Just looking at that confident, smug little expression told him everything.

"Well, Miss Yamei? What do you think?"

"Um..." Ōtsutsuki
