Chapter 228
“Put me down,” Xu Xuenuo kept patting Xu Ming’s shoulder insistently.
She could tell that Xu Ming was struggling to fight off the beasts while carrying her on his back. It was already a challenge for him to escape on his own, let alone while carrying her.
Even though there was no guarantee he could make it out alive alone, keeping her on his back meant certain death for both of them.
“If I put you down, you’ll die,” Xu Ming snapped, his tone firm.
There was no way he’d do such a thing.
Earlier, if this girl hadn’t pulled him into her sword domain and hidden them in the cracks between worlds, she might’ve been able to escape this beast-infested area on her own.
Yet, she chose to take him with her.
Even when things went awry—when no one expected the beast zone to be this vast—she didn’t abandon him, not even when she was running out of strength.
If she could show such loyalty and righteousness, how could Xu Ming abandon her now? If he left her behind, he’d carry the guilt for a lifetime, and his inner peace and cultivation path would crumble.
