"All you need to do is take care of yourself. Luckily nothing serious happened this time, but what if it had? How distressed would your parents be? Alright, go get some rest; I still have things to do."
"I... I'll help you. Sister Bai, I don't think it's very peaceful around here."
Looking at Zhang Duo with that aggrieved yet stubborn expression, I really thought of a golden retriever protecting its owner...
Subconsciously, I patted Zhang Duo's head and, feeling a bit inappropriate, awkwardly cleared my throat and said:
"Go rest. If you want to protect me, you should properly train your body. As you are now, you can't protect me..."
After saying that, I walked towards the deeper part of the forest, leaning on my arm. If the two Lords Impermanence knew that it was because of me that Zhang Duo was put in danger, I reckoned they would have erased me from existence immediately.
Better to be alone.
Hu Tu chuckled on the side as she teased me.
