Chapter 146: Trail of the Pale Beast
March 20th, 9:02 AM — Longwan Mall, 1st Floor West Atrium Corridor
Mu Qinglan POV
——
After we checked the area, I could tell these monsters were killed by John and his group, but there were no signs of injuries apart from John’s.
So after we finished checking for any supplies, something he taught me to do no matter what the situation... I prepared to leave.
Zhou Xue finally came to stand beside me. Her bow lowered, her voice a whisper. "It looks like they fought an army in here."
"Yeah, but it seems they won... using John as a sacrificial shield as usual."
I knew it was petty and stupid to take my anger out here, but it’s true. These people have no idea the level John went to keep them safe. He could have only protected me, Yifei and Roulan and been selfish... but he didn’t.
"..."
The others looked sullen at my words. Well, it’s the truth. The more time I spent with him as a woman, the harder it became for me to pull away and adjust my emotions. I knew it wasn’t healthy, and my obsession with him was growing.
