Chapter 344: You want us to protect her?
Ye Fei watched her retreating figure and suddenly smiled.
Chi Ye clearly dislikes humans, yet she is still willing to make exceptions time and time again for her sake.
Back in Luanyun Gorge, her decision to lend a helping hand to Chi Ye, a complete stranger, proved to be a wise gamble.
"What are you still standing there for?" Chi Ye turned to look at the girl, his brows furrowing slightly. "Come here."
Ye Fei suddenly felt good and smiled, "You're here."
"Let's go in together," Mu Jingshen said, casually casting a wisp of ice-type spiritual energy onto Huang Rongyu.
Huang Rongyu nodded and walked side by side with Mu Jingshen.

On the other side.
Li Yuan and Yu Muhan have been searching for several days, but they still haven't found Ye Fei or any of their teammates.
As night falls, the faint light of the full moon shines through the dense forest, gilding each leaf with a soft glow.
Li Yuan clutched his chest with one hand and leaned against a large tree with the other, the moonlight casting a pale glow on his handsome face.
"Li?!" Yu Muhan panicked when she saw Li Yuan's pained expression and quickly reached out to support his swaying body.
Li Yuan gritted his teeth inwardly. Damn it, the flammable poison in his body was about to flare up...
He couldn't hold on any longer and needed to leave this place as soon as possible—at least, he needed to get as far away from Yu Muhan as possible.
If he loses his mind, he might accidentally kill her!
Li Yuan took a deep breath, straightened his back, and whispered two words: "Crossing the Sea".
A faint aura of dark spiritual energy emanated from him, and with two whooshing sounds, two figures appeared in front of Li Yuan.
"Li...who is this?" Yu Muhan was startled by the two teenagers who suddenly appeared in front of him and couldn't help but take a step back.
Li Yuan opened his eyes, a flash of purple light appearing in them, and ordered, "You two protect her and don't leave her side for even a moment."
"Huh? Master, you want us to protect this fragile human?" Du pouted and looked at Yu Muhan with great disdain.
Ming didn't speak, but his cold gaze fell on Yu Muhan. Yu Muhan felt a chill run down her spine as the two teenagers stared at her like that.
The two boys addressed Li as "Master," so if they weren't Li's followers, they could only be... contracted beasts!
Yu Muhan was shocked. A contracted beast that could transform into human form?! Then this contracted beast must be at least at the level of a sacred beast!
This idea was terrifying. Yu Muhan couldn't help but wonder about Li's identity—was Li really the young master of some aristocratic family?
Li Yuan stared at Du expressionlessly: "This is an order."
Du sighed and shrugged, "Alright, alright, we understand."
Li Yuan turned to look at Yu Muhan again, about to speak, when the toxic fire in his body suddenly rushed to his brain. He groaned and took a step back, his face turning deathly pale!
"Li? Are you injured?" Yu Muhan asked with some concern, but dared not step forward.
Li Yuan tried his best to suppress the restless flame poison in his body, took a deep breath, and said, "I will be leaving for a few days. You should stay here and not move around unnecessarily during these days."
Seeing that he was really in pain, Yu Muhan didn't ask any more questions and obediently nodded: "I understand."
"My contracted beast will protect you in the shadows, you..."
Li Yuan suddenly covered his forehead with one hand, his eyes uncontrollably flashing with purple light. He didn't finish his sentence before turning around and leaving quickly.
Yu Muhan watched the boy's hurried departure with a solemn expression.
It was very quiet all around; not a single insect chirped or bird sang. She could only squat in front of the big tree, pitifully curling herself up into a ball.
