Chapter 749: Their Refusal and Her Decisiveness
"I don’t have time to waste here," she interrupted everyone’s attempts to speak.
Strangely, no one could utter a word; it was as if an invisible pressure were pressing down on them, preventing them from speaking.
They sweated profusely as their blood turned cold. Who were these powerful individuals protecting her? This oppressive force came not from a single person, but from a group.
Shenlian Yingyue smiled lightly, her heart warming at the knowledge that, despite her ability to handle the situation, they still chose to protect her in secret.
Xiao Yun, Shenlian Yinzhu and everyone would never let these people go easily after they bullied her.
"How can you be so reckless!" someone shouted, his voice trembling with a mixture of anger and fear. "Do you have any idea what kind of danger we could be inviting into our midst? It’s like welcoming a wolf into the fold without knowing its true nature!"
The strongest among them, his brows furrowed in disapproval, shot her a piercing glare and tried to ignore the invisible pressure. "You’re willing to risk everything on a whim? Just because they appear human? What if they’re not? It’s like throwing open the gates to a battleground!"
"You talk about danger, yet you refuse to see the truth before you," she countered, her voice steady. "Judging them without understanding is no different from casting aside a friend based solely on superstition. Have you even considered the possibility that they, just like us, are fighting their own battles to survive?"
Her words struck them hard, each syllable resonating like a bell tolling in the silence. The heat of shame washed over their faces, the sting of reality cutting deeper than any weapon ever could.
