Just then, he suddenly heard an annoyed voice: "What are you looking at?"
He knew perfectly well that he should leave without stopping and not waste even a moment, but an uncontrollable impulse still rose in his heart. He felt that if he didn't respond, his thoughts wouldn't be clear, and he felt like he was about to collapse.
So he opened his mouth and replied, "What are you looking at!"
Yun Yuqing never expected that he would be distracted at this moment. Without giving the other party any chance, she flicked her finger, and a ray of purple light pierced through his brow.
The light in the night elf's eyes vanished instantly, and he collapsed heavily to the ground, becoming a corpse. The Night Traveler gradually dissipated and finally disappeared.

"Then you don't need to use your body to shield me from the sword..." She didn't say those words in the end. Instead, her slender fingers gently touched the wound on his chest and asked, "Does it hurt?"
“It didn’t hurt that much before, but now that you’ve asked, it seems to be hurting more,” Zuan said with a smile.
