During an intense battle with the jungle lightning wolf, Su Yao was accidentally scratched by its claws, and her clothes were stained with blood. Gu Sheng, seeing this, felt a tightness in his chest and rushed forward to check her injury.
"Are you alright?" Gu Sheng asked with concern.
"I'm fine," Su Yao gritted her teeth and replied, "It's just a minor wound."
Gu Sheng looked at her steadfast demeanor, and a wave of tenderness surged in his heart. Reaching out, he gently wiped away the blood on her face. "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I won't let you get hurt," he said softly.
Their gazes locked, and the air between them was tinged with subtle intimacy. However, at that moment, an even more formidable Demon Beast—a Xuan Tian Bear—appeared before them.
"You dare trespass into my territory!" The Xuan Tian Bear roared furiously, swinging its massive bear paw at them.
