Su Yu was still a little apprehensive, afraid Xun Yu would keep her here and not let her go find Shi Wei and Shengqing. She was already trying to think of an excuse to convince him.
After all, she had tried to escape before. It was only natural that Xun Yu would be afraid she was tricking him again.
But she never expected Xun Yu to let her go so easily.
It took Su Yu a moment to process. She blinked. "You're... just letting me go like that?"
Lying on the ground with his back to her, Xun Yu covered his head with his tiger paws. His voice was muffled and tinged with grievance. "Didn't you say you'd come back? Or are you lying to me again?"
"No, no," Su Yu said, shaking her head repeatedly. She reached out to pat his head reassuringly but accidentally patted his rear instead.
The unexpected touch made Xun Yu jolt.
Su Yu blinked, nonchalantly retracting her hand. She then gave him a solemn promise. "Don't worry. I'll be back with my Beast Husbands."
