Chapter 13: A Lone Battle Against a Da Dou Shi
"No, no, don't come any closer!"
"Die, what's wrong?"
With a scream, Die jolted awake from her nightmare. As she opened her eyes, she saw a young man with a bare upper body looking at her with concern.
"Chen Mo, they're going to kill me... They're going to kill me..." Die threw herself into Chen Mo's arms, pressing her head against his chest as she spoke in fear.
The warmth of her soft body caused Chen Mo to stiffen slightly. Her perfect figure traced exquisite curves, especially her upper body.
The softness pressing against his bare chest made the sensation incredibly clear.
Die sobbed in his embrace for a while, her delicate body pressing even closer. Her skin was flawless, smooth like fine jade.
It would be impossible for Chen Mo to have no thoughts in this situation, but taking advantage of someone's vulnerability was something he could never do. Keeping up the facade of a gentleman, he gently pushed Die away and reassured her:
"You were just having a nightmare. No one is trying to kill—"
"Boom!"
Before Chen Mo could finish his sentence, the rock ceiling above them was suddenly blasted open. A cascade of yellow sand poured down as a hole nearly a meter in diameter was forcefully created.
