Before long, Ling'er returned to Xiaomi's side. Seeing others around, she didn't speak. Xiaomi gently stroked the top of its head, saying, "You've worked hard."
She reached into her chest and took out a small pouch, grabbing a handful of grain from it.
Ling'er had already returned to her space, leaving behind Xiao Ba, who immediately lowered its head to eat.
Soon, the sounds of fighting erupted outside, and Wei Ziang and Xiaomi instantly became alert.
A moment later, a group of soldiers ran over from the darkness beside them. Xiaomi fixed her gaze.
"Don't attack, they're allies!"
"They're allies, reinforcements have arrived!"
Two voices rang out simultaneously, Wei Ziang and Xiaomi.
Shortly after, the reinforcements arrived, separating the entrance of the valley from the bandits.
"Great, finally found you. Quick, evacuate from here first."
