Ji Yuan grinned to the Cardinal Priestess, "Maiden Xuan Qiaoqiao, just follow me and you will be absolutely safe. In no time, we will reach the Delphi Palace."
Xuan Qiaoqiao asked with an emotional look, "Even from you?"
In this forest, she seemed to have regained some of her regal bearings and she was also looking haughtily at Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan chuckled weakly, "Yes, even from me. Haha…"
He was actually not sure if she may be safe from him if she keeps appearing in front of him…
In fact, he dared not face her because he was aching below and he was a little afraid that she may notice.
He was thinking: This is too sinful…
But he said firmly, "Come follow me."
As he walked into the forest, he was glad that Xuan Qiaoqiao was also following him.
Xuan Qiaoqiao had no idea why she had been so docile in front of this Ji Yuan; in the past, she was a lofty maiden and she did not need any man to protect her. But today, she actually found herself following him.
