As all the yokai around them pounced, Mei's expression remained unchanged. She pulled Princess Ying Ji behind her, then took out a katana and handed it to Yingcao.
"Yingcao, I'll kill these yokai. Princess Ying Ji is in your care. You won't let Yōki get hurt, right?" Without giving Yingcao any chance to react, Mei charged straight at the yokai ahead.
"Ah! I... Yingcao... Yingcao can't do it! Yingcao can't manage it! Sis... Sister Mei..."
Yingcao frantically caught the sword Mei had handed her. Hearing Mei's words, she immediately panicked.
How could she possibly protect Sister Yōki?!
But before Yingcao could finish speaking, Mei had already left. Yingcao was beside herself with anxiety.
Looking at Yōki beside her, even Yingcao herself sometimes could not help swallowing, though she managed to suppress it.
This showed just how irresistible Yōki was to yokai. These yokai would go mad for her—but could she really stop such crazed yokai?
Yingcao felt that she absolutely could not do it.
Watching Mei ahead of her, Yingcao was so anxious she was about to cry! She clearly could not do it, so why was Sister Mei forcing her to?!
Meanwhile, Yōki... looked at Mei, then at Yingcao, then at the yokai staring at her like mad. She did not know what to do either.
These yokai were so scary!
Did they all want to eat her?
Sister Mei had just thrown her to Yingcao?
Mei did not know what Yingcao and Yōki were thinking right now, but she could more or less guess.
Though this seemed like a risky move, Mei was actually completely confident that she could ensure Yingcao and Yōki's safety.
Mei had left a lightning curse mark on Yōki. The moment a yokai touched her, even a Great Yokai would either die or
