"I—" As Gigi felt a complex of emotions, she stood up slowly and said softly, "I'm going back." Subconsciously, she knew Darryl had been wrongfully accused, so she felt awkward.
However, she had almost gone into a psychotic break. Even though the situation had stabilized, her body was still very weak. As soon as she stood up, her legs weakened, and she almost fell to the ground.
Darryl snatched her into his arms at that precise moment.
"You—" Gigi's face reddened. She felt extremely embarrassed, and she attempted to struggle out of Darryl's arms. "Let me go, you pervert!"
She had realized Darryl had been wrongfully accused, but she said those words out of habit.
'Pervert?'
Darryl was dumbfounded when he heard that word. "Gigi, that's not right. I just saved your life, and I caught you when you almost fell. How am I a pervert?"
As he spoke, he admired Gigi's slender curves from proximity.
'There's no doubt that Gigi's body is amazing.'
"You—" When she heard that, Gigi was embarrassed and enraged, but she did not know how to respond.
Suddenly, a petite figure approached from afar. It was Sofia. She could not help but take a look when she realized Darryl had not returned to the Elixir Sector late at night.
"Sect Master!" Sofia accelerated her pace when she noticed Darryl standing there from a distance. "You drank a bit at the banquet. Why are you not resting at the Elixir Sector? I was worried."
Sofia had not noticed Gigi in Darryl's arms because it was late at night.
'Huh?' Sofia shuddered as she approached, shocked to see what had happened.
She saw Darryl had Gigi tightly in his arms. She had an alluring blush on her delicate face in the moonlight. She was absolutely beautiful.
'What's happening? Were Gigi and Sect Master—'
Sofia had reached the age when one would experience love. As she stared at them, she instantly made up a few scenes in her head. Then she giggled and said, "Sect Master, Gigi, sorry for disturbing you. Well, I was never here, and I did not see anything. Carry on…"
She covered her mouth and laughed. Then, she turned around and left.
