"Master, what are you standing there for?"
Ye Chuxue couldn't see Song Wanning. She only saw Gu Qingyuan suddenly freeze, and she yelled out anxiously.
As if waking from a dream, Gu Qingyuan scrambled to his feet at the sound of her voice, turned, and charged the demonic beast inside the cave again.
Ye Chuxue was still behind him. He had to protect her.
However, every second that followed became exceptionally torturous.
The pair of eyes behind him felt like a searing flame, making his heart burn with anxiety and unease.
Beyond his worry about Song Wanning's presence, there was also a sense of humiliation.
Once upon a time, he had been ten times more outstanding than Song Wanning.
Now, Song Wanning had become a distant, unreachable star in the sky, while he, in contrast, had fallen to such a pathetic state.
SPURT—
He was sent flying by the demonic beast once again, collapsing to the ground and coughing up blood repeatedly.
"Master!"
