The star twinkled in front of Shen Qiqi for a moment before dimming.
The young boy was so badly injured that he didn't have the strength to shine anymore.
At this moment, a demonic creature sneaked up behind the young boy. Seeing that its sharp claws were about to pierce the boy's back, Shen Qiqi was terrified and blurted out to the young boy, "Watch out behind you!"

Mrs. Xie also brought a lantern, saying that it was made by her son and given to Qiqi.
