"I said I would protect you." Yan Baibai smiled and looked at the man opposite.
"My name is Bai Chaoxi. Thank you for saving me, Fairy."
It was not until now that Bai Chaoxi clearly felt the girl opposite him's powerful cultivation. No wonder she was so greatly affected by the incense.
"I should thank you for bringing me out of the alley." The smile on Yan Baibai's face remained unchanged. He controlled the barrier to bring the two out of the water, then flew to the cliff and stopped before breaking the barrier.
"To be honest, the fairy was also implicated by me in this matter..." Bai Chaoxi had to briefly explain the matter to Yan Baibai.
"I see. Then you better be careful from now on, Chaoxi."
Bai Chaoxi was stunned when Yan Baibai suddenly called his name. He wanted to say something, but in the end he felt that he was making a fuss out of nothing.
"Why does the fairy appear there?"
"I'm lost." Yan Baibai answered honestly.
Bai Chaoxi naturally didn't believe that a cultivator with powerful cultivation would get lost. Looking at the clothes Yan Baibai was wearing, he just thought she was a young lady from a noble family who had secretly run away. When he thought of the noble family, his passionate heart instantly turned cold.
"Fairy, let me take you home." Looking at the pitch-black night, Bai Zhaoxi blurted out. He suddenly realized the other party's cultivation level and felt that he was doing something unnecessary, so he hurriedly explained: "I don't mean anything else, I..."
Yan Baibai quickly interrupted Bai Chaoxi's explanation: "Although my cultivation is good, I am afraid of the dark. Could you please give me a ride, Chaoxi?"
Upon seeing this, the system spat out the tea it had just swallowed. It was absolutely certain that its host had deliberately used the clipping sound when pronouncing the graceful "morning and evening"; this was the sound the host had used to flirt with her senior brothers and sisters when she was in the Yanjian Sect.
If it remembered correctly, among the three male protagonists the host had met on the mission, only the original body, Mo Li, had enjoyed this treatment!
"..." Bai Zhaoxi choked for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "Okay."
So, the two of them turned and walked towards the city. As for why they "walked" instead of using magic to "fly", only Yan Baibai and the creator of the world knew.
On the way, Yan Baibai was the only one talking, but Bai Chaoxi was like a loyal listener. He would only respond when Yan Baibai asked questions very directly, like now.
"Chao Xi, do you have a girl you like?"
As they walked along, Bai Chaoxi had accepted Yan Baibai's constant calling of "Chaoxi Chaoxi" naturally. But when he heard this question, his gaze, which was fixed on the road ahead, drifted uncontrollably to Yan Baibai, and his eyes met Yan Baibai's straightforward gaze.
As if burned, Bai Chaoxi quickly shifted his gaze. He clenched his hands tightly to suppress his rapidly beating heart. He moved his dry throat and opened his thin lips, but still no sound came out. In the end, he could only shake his head.
"What about the girl who likes you?" Yan Baibai asked again.
This time, Bai Zhaoxi shook his head decisively, and then he saw Yan Baibai's smile grow even brighter...
This time, Yan Baibai, who had been chattering all the way, suddenly became quiet. She began to concentrate on walking, but her occasional jumping steps and humming still indicated her good mood.
"I'm here." Yan Baibai stopped in a small courtyard.
Bai Zhaoxi looked at the small courtyard in front of him, unable to hide the shock on his face. He blurted out, "Is this your home?"
Isn’t she a girl from aristocratic family?
Bai Chaoxi could no longer suppress his heartbeat. For some reason, he swore that he would never be involved with aristocratic families in this life. Fortunately, she was not!
"Well, Chaoxi, would you like to come in for a cup of tea?" Yan Baibai stretched out his hand and unlocked the barrier in front of the yard, then opened the door and turned around to invite Bai Chaoxi.
"Uh, no..." Bai Zhaoxi thought for a moment. Although he knew he had no right to say such words, he couldn't help but say, "Fairy..."
"My name is Bai..." She swallowed the "years" that were about to come out of her mouth, and then said, "Bai, just call me Baibai."
"Bai... Miss Baibai, you'd better not invite strange men to your home casually in the future. Also, don't go to unfamiliar places in the future..." Bai Zhaoxi said as his eyes moved to Yan Baibai's face under the moonlight. Seeing her smile getting deeper, he looked away again and continued, "There are still many bad people in this world. You should be careful and protect yourself."
"The first strange man I met was Chaoxi. It seems I am very lucky." The implication is that in her eyes, Bai Chaoxi is a good person.
Bai Chaoxi wasn't a fool; of course he'd noticed Yan Baibai's obvious affection. But it was precisely because this affection came so suddenly and so directly that it felt unreal, leaving him bewildered.
He should have first doubted her purpose for doing this, but he seemed to have nothing, and there was nothing precious that was worth her spending so much effort to pursue.
Then...she really likes him!
No, that's impossible. He doesn't deserve to be liked by others!
Then why did she do this?
"Chao Xi, I like you..."
Bai Chaoxi's nails dug into the flesh of his palm.
"Chao Xi, you can be mine..."
Bai Chaoxi felt like his heart had stopped beating.
"Good friends?"
Bai Chaoxi...let go of his hand, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.
