Misunderstanding Cleared

"Hehe... I don't have any news, but..."

Xie Tianxiao's faint laugh came from the afterimage. Then it turned toward Ziyan and said, "Senior Zhu Kun, take another look at who she is."

Hearing this, Zhu Kun shifted his enormous gaze onto Ziyan and examined her carefully.

He had not noticed before, but the more he looked at this little girl transformed from a magical beast, the more she gave him an inexplicably familiar feeling.

Moreover, his heart, dormant for countless years, actually began to tremble.

"Could it be..."

A look of shock appeared on Zhu Kun's face. The invisible pressure that had locked onto the two of them immediately vanished without a trace.

Then, he stared fixedly at Ziyan, his huge mouth slightly open.

As the two looked at each other, a strange feeling also rose in Ziyan's heart.

But she quickly came back to her senses and said unhappily, "Hey, old man, your eyes are practically popping out!"

"Little girl, where did you come from?"

Zhu Kun swallowed with difficulty and asked in a hoarse voice.

"I don't know. Ever since I could remember, I lived alone in the great forest."

Ziyan curled her lips and answered truthfully.

"Alone..."

Zhu Kun murmured, his gaze somewhat distant. Then he carefully asked, "Child, could you give me your hand?"

"What for?"

Ziyan tilted her head and looked at him in confusion.

"Nothing, nothing. If you don't want to, then forget it."

Seeing Ziyan's reaction, Zhu Kun froze for a moment before speaking awkwardly.

Although he already had an answer in his heart, he still could not help wanting to confirm it.

Unable to make up her mind, Ziyan looked toward Xie Tianxiao.

When she saw him nod slightly, she extended her fair little hand and held it out before Zhu Kun.
