Chapter 734: Retribution
All night, Huang Bai Xing gazed at the sleeping figure with confusion. What was he doing? Why was he holding this woman whom he disliked? Why had he revealed his secret of coming to find the artifacts to her?
That day, Shenlian Yingyue woke up to find herself wrapped in a warm blanket inside a tent. She thought that her companions had done this for her, and she felt comforted. She didn’t ask, and no one in the Ethereal Small World told her.
They found it strange that Huang Bai Xing had this gentle side toward her. They couldn’t understand it, and they didn’t want to either. As long as Huang Bai Xing stopped causing problems for Yue’er, no one paid attention to her.
After that night, Shenlian Yingyue never saw Huang Bai Xing again. It took her several days to calm her emotions. She didn’t want to ruin everyone’s mood for traveling, so she tried her best to move on from that painful scene.
Although her heart still hurt from their misfortunes, she pressed on and tried to forget that painful experience. She buried that hurtful and regretful feeling deep in her heart so that she could move forward in her life.

(Present Time)
"Do your eyes grow at your ass?" Suddenly, a high-pitched voice pierced her ears.
Shenlian Yingyue found herself wandering in a daze along the street. Something collided with her, and she turned to see a beautiful girl who seemed to be around 17 years old.
"I’m sorry," she apologized to the girl, stretching out her hand to help her up.
Hearing such a sincere apology, the girl’s expression softened, but she refused Shenlian Yingyue’s assistance.
