Chapter 821: The Favoured Heroine Vs, The Unlucky Cannon Fodder

"Miss Yue?" Tai Hua Lei called out hesitantly.

"Xiao Yueyue said you can call her by her name," Xiao Yun chimed in, her voice light and playful, catching Tai Hua Lei off guard.

It was the first time Xiao Yun had actively engaged with him.

"Yueyue, Yueyue..." Tai Hua Lei repeated her name softly, a hint of shyness coloring his demeanor, reminiscent of a lovestruck man. Yet, there was no trace of romantic love in his gaze, only pure admiration and reverence for her. She was more than just someone he cherished.

Xiao Qiu’s expression darkened slightly, while Xiao Yun raised an eyebrow playfully, and Shenlian Yingyue smiled warmly, offering a friendly demeanor.

The group, accompanied by the two delightful beasts, continued their journey, moving cautiously. Xiao Yun and Xiao Qiu floated beside her, observing as she employed her spiritual powers to shield herself from the ominous vortexes threatening to sweep her away.

Based on her calculations, these swirling whirlpools were set to last for an hour, followed by just one minute of calm before the cycle repeated. This left her with a brief window to hasten her pace alongside Tai Hua Lei.

Here, the sky was shrouded in a somber gray, void of the distinction between day and night, leaving her with a disoriented sense of time. After what felt like an eternity, she finally managed to break free from the clutches of the swirling vortexes.

"Yueyue, you said I was just a stranger to you. Was that a lie just to push me away because you were worried for my safety?" Tai Hua Lei queried with eagerness, his anticipation palpable. If he had a tail, it would undoubtedly be wagging in excitement.

"Yes, but you still came in the end. I’ve always considered you a friend," she responded, her tone serious as her divine sense spread outwards, scanning their surroundings.

Tai Hua Lei’s eyes sparked with joy at her words.

Shenlian Yingyue moved gracefully, almost as if she were gliding. She alternated between soaring through the air, using a magical fan, and executing light-footed maneuvers that held the grace of a dancer.

In certain areas, flying and the use of magic weapons was prohibited. However, her years of rigorous training in martial arts and spells now proved invaluable.

Tai Hua Lei kept pace without faltering. Little did anyone know what he had endured during his time on the Mountain of Azure Dragon, which had propelled his strength to unprecedented levels in such a short span.

He gazed at her lithe figure bathed in a warm glow. She was an undeniable force, never cowering in the shadows of any man, regardless of their strength. Now, she forged ahead, serving as his shield against any impending threat.

Determined to guard her from behind, he resolved to keep her safe as she bravely confronted the world before them. He observed her interactions with Xiao Yun and Xiao Qiu, a gentle smile gracing his lips.

His tall silhouette stood like a protective spirit, watching over her slender form from behind. Whenever she glanced back, her eyes found him steady and unwavering, a constant presence by her side.

The land around them was barren, only remnants of a long-gone civilization. After days of walking, they had yet to encounter any perilous creatures.

That changed one fateful day as they navigated an area strewn with shattered stones, an unexpected sight greeted them.
