Qi Meng was filled with regret, wanting to cry but finding no tears!
She instinctively opened her mouth to call for help.
She knew perfectly well that no one could save her.
Because this was Aimon's home, in another world!
She was like a drowning person making a futile cry for help before death.
But.
Her cry for help actually worked!
Aimon suddenly clutched his stomach, his face contorted in pain, and flew backward.
As though someone had kicked him away.
Immediately afterward.
A man's figure appeared out of thin air before Qi Meng.
He sat right there beside the bed, in plain sight!
"Mr. Xiao Yu... what are you doing here!?"
"Qi Meng, how have you been?"
Qi Meng was both surprised and delighted!
He was practically a hero fallen from the sky!
At the same time, she felt deeply ashamed!
Tears fell despite herself.
There was no longer a trace of the ice-cold beauty about her.
She sobbed, "Thank you for saving me despite what happened between us, Mr. Xiao Yu! I'm truly sorry about what happened earlier! I didn't mean to oppose you. It's just... it's just... Aimon and I were working together... I promised to help him fight..."
As she spoke, her voice grew quieter and quieter.
Out of shame.
"Don't talk about that yet. Let me deal with this scumbag and get you out of here first. We can talk afterward."
"Okay!"
Gratitude was good. Shame was good.
The more you blame yourself and regret it, the more grateful you are.
The easier it'll be to ask you for the Heavenly Mechanism Ring later.
This ring was far too important to Xiao Yu.
Had it been any other treasure, Xiao Yu probably would not have bothered staging this "hero rescuing a beauty" act.
