Seeing Feng Xue’er, who was now beside him, Yun Che’s mood naturally lifted. Initially, he had thought that it would be a long time before he could face her at such a close proximity once again; he never expected that he would gain the opportunity to interact with her so soon. With a smile, he said. “Then… Xue’er, do you want to venture with us?”
“Mn!” Feng Xue’er nodded very strongly. If her phoenix jade-glazed crown was removed at this moment, it would be possible to see a pair of eyes which had already curved into bright new moons. She cheerfully said. “Then, big brother Yun, you have to protect Xue’er, alright? …Oh, and bulky big brother, you have to protect Xue’er as well.”
“Bulky big brother” had been staring straight at the two of them. Only when Feng Xue’er spoke to him did he regain his senses, and asked with widened eyes. “Brother-in-law, you two… know each other?”
“Mn.” Yun Che nodded. “Xue’er had once saved my life.”
When Yun Che uttered these words, the eyes Xia Yuanba had been looking at Feng Xue’er with instantly underwent a severe change… She had once saved Yun Che. Just by this point alone, forget about her being the Princess Snow of Divine Phoenix Sect, even if she was an extremely vile old demonic grandma, he would still respect her, and be thankful to her all the same. With a pat to his chest, he said. “You have saved my brother-in-law’s life, then that’s the same as having saved my life. Don’t worry, if anyone dares to bully you, no matter if it’s a man or a profound beast, I definitely won’t let any of them off… Eh, wait a minute!”
Xia Yuanba suddenly recalled the evaluation Spiritual Master Gu Cang had given Feng Xue’er yesterday. His voice came to a sudden halt, and then, he began to stutter a little. “Little miss… Oh, no, no. Princess Snow, is your profound strength… really… half-step from the Sovereign Profound?”
