บท 213: Asking For Help

I watched as Rip hung back, creating more and more distance between us and the rest of our party.

Chang Guo Zi and the others seemed to have gotten the answer that they were looking for, and they picked up the pace, no longer worried about the forest literally coming alive around them.

Cheng Bo Jing looked over his shoulder at us before turning his attention back to the men in front of us.

"I take it I did something wrong?" I asked with a sad smile. It was pathetic that I always assumed that I did something wrong and not that he just wanted some privacy.

"No, nothing wrong," he assured me, giving me a small kiss on the forehead. "But I think we need to remove the contact."

"What?" I gasped, looking up at him.

"When… you do what you do… your eye turns opaque. Like a filmy substance covers them…" He sighed like he wasn't sure what he should or could say.
