Little White's eyes lit up instantly, and it transformed into a streak of silver light, darting into the spirit beast pouch with an astounding "whoosh," behaving incredibly obediently.
Yan Yu, who had been standing silently to the side watching, suddenly narrowed his eyes the moment he saw the spirit beast pouch.
In those unfathomable black eyes, murky and unfathomable emotions churned.
What's this?
He had just sensed the spatial fluctuations the moment the small bag opened. He had never seen this type of spatial item in the apocalypse. What was it? And what was Xiaobai?!
There was a moment when it felt like I hadn't grasped something, and that feeling is even stronger now.
He had always thought that the little girl was like him, a fellow human with special abilities.
But now it seems...
That's not true at all.
She harbored a deeper secret that he could never comprehend.
"Brother, what are you daydreaming about? Let's go!"
Ruan Tang's sweet voice, like a feather, pulled him out of the raging storm.
The turmoil in Yan Yu's eyes subsided instantly, and he regained his usual composure.
"Um."
He responded and gripped her small hand tightly, with a force much greater than usual.
Instead of taking the main road, the two went directly up the back mountain via a less-traveled path behind the courtyard.
Ruan Tang's steps were as light as a bird just released from its cage, and she exuded an ethereal, otherworldly charm.
Yan Yu held her hand, his tall figure protecting her by his side.
He didn't say much, but his eyes seemed glued to her.
As he walked, Yan Yu paused almost imperceptibly.
The feeling that something was wrong became even stronger.
Along the way, they would see squirrels every now and then, slid down from the trees, and follow them at a distance, their dark eyes staring at Ruan Tang with curiosity. They wouldn't run away even if they were chased away.
And at Ruan Tang's feet, there was that fearless rooster that not only swaggered along with the little girl but also showed off its feathers.
Even the wild rabbits in the grass only poked out their furry heads, shook their long ears, and quietly watched them walk by.
This is very abnormal.
Wild animals in the mountains are wary to the bone; they'll run away as soon as they see people.
But how do these little things treat Ruan Tang...?
It wasn't just curiosity, but intimacy, and within that intimacy lay a subtle...submission.
It is a kind of instinctive, blood-rooted reverence for higher life forms.
This is completely different from the way Xiaobai clings to her and depends on her!
Yan Yu's heart sank inch by inch.
A strong, unfamiliar sense of unease, like cold vines, tightly constricted his heart.
He could crush any enemy, could wipe out any threat, but what he couldn't bear was that he knew nothing about her.
This feeling made him realize that he could lose her at any moment.
He suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Ruan Tang also stopped and turned her head to look at him, puzzled.
"What's wrong, brother?"
In the sunlight, her face was fair with a rosy glow, like a ripe peach, and his figure was clearly reflected in her clear eyes.
Yan Yu looked at her, his throat extremely dry.
He reached out, his rough fingertips trembling slightly, and stroked her smooth cheek. His eyes were dark and unfathomable, surging with a possessive desire that almost wanted to devour her.
He had a lot of questions he wanted to ask.
Who are you?
Where do you come from?
What exactly is the power within you?
But when the words reached his lips, all those words, in the end, turned into a hoarse murmur, almost squeezed out of his throat.
"Tangtang, when will we form a bond?" (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
