Xin Yi in front, walking with Ài Yún, Sha Chen exactly ten paces behind them. As promised.
It was.…..strange.
"This is very awkward," Xin Yi muttered to Ài Yún.
"Very," Ài Yún agreed, trying not to laugh. "But also hilarious. The Alpha following behind like a.….like a..."
"Like a cub?"
"I was going to say 'bodyguard' but yes. Like a very elegant, very powerful cub."
[DING! (¬‿¬)]
[Hmmmm. Host is using System less frequently!]
[Host no longer requires my help with certain tasks?]
[Where is the energy?! ☆]
Xin Yi blinked. Oh. Right. System.
She had been so.…..disconnected lately. So focused on just surviving day to day that she had forgotten about quests and points and—
"System," she thought. "I have been distracted."
[DING! (◕‿◕)]
[Yes, Host has!]
[Host still has QUEST OBJECTIVES!]
[Remember? Find out how transmigrators come to this world!]
[Discover who Mán Shū is!]
[These are important! ☆]
"Oh. Right."
