Only then did Jiang Xinli realize that the glacial blue aura protecting her came entirely from the energy Lanse was expending.
"Lanse, let's head back for now." She felt a pang of guilt and tried to reassure him, "Don't worry. Even if you really run out of energy, I can protect you."
Her feelings for Lanse weren't particularly deep.

He had even expended his energy to ensure she wasn't harmed in the slightest.
If he really ran out of energy now and they encountered another contaminated being, she would definitely fight with all her might to protect him.

'He had said he would always protect her, and he was a man of his word.'
'Even without energy, he had other means.'
'What he'd just said was only meant to test her.'
'As expected, she hadn't disappointed him.'
