Huo Ze desperately wanted to refuse Xu Zhi's proposal, but he truly had no room to refuse.
He even wondered whether gouging out his eyes had merely been an excuse to abduct the Saintess.
Did she think that by taking the Saintess hostage, he would refrain from acting rashly?
Huo Ze's mind spun chaotically with countless thoughts. Feeling around, he grabbed a clothes pole to use as a blind cane. "So what do we do now...?"
He was not in particularly good condition. Days of constant travel had already left him exhausted, and now Xu Zhi had gouged out his eyeballs. As a high-ranking believer, his self-healing ability was stronger than that of ordinary supernatural beings and believers, but that only applied to wounds healing. His eyes would not grow back on their own!
Now, he always felt wind pouring into his empty eye sockets after just a few steps. It was unbearably awkward. He even considered wrapping a strip of cloth over his eyes, but he was somewhat afraid to make demands of Xu Zhi.
Fortunately, he did not need to bring it up himself. Xu Zhi casually found a piece of clothing in the room, tore off a strip, and handed it to him. "Cover your eyes. You look pretty terrifying walking around like that."
"By the way, how should I address you?" Huo Ze seemed to have suddenly remembered this question. They had already formed a partnership, but he had yet to exchange names with Xu Zhi.
Xu Zhi casually gave him her name. Huo Ze nodded. "All right, Miss Xu. I'm Huo Ze, and she's Yu Shenwei."
Shenwei... as in cautious and prudent?
Why would anyone give a child a name like that?
"Got it." Xu Zhi responded. She had no interest whatsoever in their names,
