A surprised expression appeared on Qing Zhiyan's face, along with a light blush feeling the big, powerful hand patting her. It was filled with a strange warmth that made her heart completely relax.
In fact, she was affected by the gore sight as that reminded her of everything that could have happened to her. There were countless futures and she had seen majority of them.
In all of them, her fate was much worse than these people who died here.
But all those thoughts disappeared completely when the warmth from her head spread throughout her body. She smiled and asked.
"What happened, Master?"
Shen Yu chuckled softly.
"I'm just finding it bizzare that I'm patting a beautiful girl's head after witnessing such things."
Qing Zhiyan giggled lightly, as she also felt it was quite funny.
Hastor who saw their interaction from the sides was surprised. But then, he heaved a sigh of relief as he felt a burden lifting from his heart. A warm smile shown on his face as he thought.
'You don't have to worry now, Madam. Young Miss have found a powerful, capable and most importantly, loving man. She can live in peace now. You can also live in peace.'
He looked at his hand, which was working completely fine as if it wasn't severed before and thought.
'He is too powerful. Young Miss's eyes didn't lie. Now, all those futures will be gone and only one single future where Young Miss is happy will remain.'
After joking around for a while which lifted the heavy mood a little, Shen Yu teleported them back to the sight of battle. He then led them towards the luxurious carriage that was parked at one corner of the Grand Canyon.
He waved his hand, which cleared the area and led them inside the carriage. However, Hastor refused his request as he said.
"Young Master, that is only something you can share with. Not someone of my status, so please rest inside the carriage with Young Miss while I bring us to the Capital City."
He sighed and hugged her tightly, not doing anything more. He opened his mouth to console her but the words that came out of his mouth were quite different.
"Don't worry. I'll wait and only corrupt you when you're ready to be corrupted."
[Bruhhh! How do you fumble so hard?]
Qing Zhiyan's blush grew harder and she hid herself in his embrace, her face growing smaller as if she just wanted to disappear from the world.
He mentally scolded himself but another part of him actually praised him, as he was able to witness such a sight because of it. He couldn't even deny it as Qing Zhiyan's face was so cute and innocent that even those dirty thoughts disappeared from his mind.
"I was just joking, okay? Please calm down and forgive master."
He tried to calm her down but only received a snort in response.
"Master is meanie!"
If Qing Zhiyan wasn't hiding herself on his chest, he would have clutched it and had a heart attack from the constant attacks he was getting from her.
Who the hell said she was a scheming woman? She was so innocent! He would fight anyone for that expression.
He tried to come up with any lines but couldn't. He was never good in romance and their current state had left even him flustered. He quickly went for his ultimate help.
'Oii! Rizz app, tell me what to say?'
[The system is in maintenance, please contact later.]
'Fuck you!! I never heard of something like that. The fuck you're going in update for?'
[If Master can't understand it, then it's simply an skill issue.]
