Chapter 821: The Favoured Heroine Vs, The Unlucky Cannon Fodder
"Miss Yue?" Tai Hua Lei called out hesitantly.
"Xiao Yueyue said you can call her by her name," Xiao Yun chimed in, her voice light and playful, catching Tai Hua Lei off guard.
It was the first time Xiao Yun had actively engaged with him.
"Yueyue, Yueyue..." Tai Hua Lei repeated her name softly, a hint of shyness coloring his demeanor, reminiscent of a lovestruck man. Yet, there was no trace of romantic love in his gaze, only pure admiration and reverence for her. She was more than just someone he cherished.
Xiao Qiu’s expression darkened slightly, while Xiao Yun raised an eyebrow playfully, and Shenlian Yingyue smiled warmly, offering a friendly demeanor.
The group, accompanied by the two delightful beasts, continued their journey, moving cautiously. Xiao Yun and Xiao Qiu floated beside her, observing as she employed her spiritual powers to shield herself from the ominous vortexes threatening to sweep her away.
Based on her calculations, these swirling whirlpools were set to last for an hour, followed by just one minute of calm before the cycle repeated. This left her with a brief window to hasten her pace alongside Tai Hua Lei.
Here, the sky was shrouded in a somber gray, void of the distinction between day and night, leaving her with a disoriented sense of time. After what felt like an eternity, she finally managed to break free from the clutches of the swirling vortexes.
"Yueyue, you said I was just a stranger to you. Was that a lie just to push me away because you were worried for my safety?" Tai Hua Lei queried with eagerness, his anticipation palpable. If he had a tail, it would undoubtedly be wagging in excitement.
