19: Chapter 19: Who Gave You the Courage?

Hmm…
My nose hurts so bad!

A sharp pain rushed to her forehead, and Yan Qianyi’s tears burst out.

She looked up.

It was Mu Yunlie!

Although Mu Yunlie’s face was hidden in the shadows of the trees, she recognized him at a glance.

In the dim light, his perfect facial contours were vaguely visible.

Suddenly, she found the courage to confront her enemy.

“Ah Lie, don’t be afraid, big sister will protect you.”
Yan Qianyi turned to face the black-clad men, pulling up the collar of her casual jacket, revealing only her eyes.

Her gaze was sharp, like an angry kitten, very cautious and ready to fight at any moment.

“Come at me if you dare, and don’t hurt the innocent.”
Carrying the poisoned Ah Lie, she surely couldn’t run.

Now, she had no choice but to face it head-on.

She just prayed that her newly awakened body wouldn’t let her down.

Watching Yan Qianyi spread her arms in front of him, Mu Yunlie was slightly stunned.

Just now, she had clearly been terrified to the point of tears.

That expression reminded him of the cat his grandfather kept, which had the same pitiful look when wronged.

Yet now, she bravely stood in front of him.

Her body looked so frail, tiny, as if a gust of wind could blow her over.

And she said she would protect him?

Mu Yunlie felt something inside him slowly crumbling.

An inexplicable compassion stirred in him.

He made a gesture to the men in black.

The black-clad men who were about to rush forward suddenly stopped and swiftly left.

Seeing this, Yan Qianyi was astonished.

Huh, what weaklings has Han Yarong brought here?

They’re scared already?

Indeed, one should never lose their momentum before a fight.

“It’s alright now, I scared them away.”
Yan Qianyi turned to face Mu Yunlie with a joyful smile.

Her slightly curved eyes, like the crescent moon on the horizon, beautifully lit up the darkness.

However, the term “big sister” did not sound pleasant to Mu Yunlie’s ears.

“Big sister?” Mu Yunlie’s voice was low and hoarse, as if wrapped in ice, his tone rising slightly with a tinge of anger.

Yan Qianyi shivered.

This voice…

It was nothing like the little puppy she remembered.

In the next moment, the image of those blood-thirsty, terrifying eyes flashed through Yan Qianyi’s mind.

She quickly realized that Mu Yunlie was not in his poisoned state at the moment!

She instinctively stepped back.

Mu Yunlie stepped out from the shadows, closing in on her.

The moonlight finally fell on him, illuminating his exquisitely beautiful face.

Eyes filled with moonlight, like the majestic sea under the night sky.

Very beautiful, yet awe-inspiring.

“To call yourself ‘big sister’ in front of me,” Mu Yunlie suddenly leaned forward, continuing to approach Yan Qianyi, “who gave you the courage?”
You did!

But the overwhelming pressure left Yan Qianyi at a loss for words.

She instinctively bent backward to dodge.

Mu Yunlie leaned over her.

At her height of one meter sixty-nine, she looked like a dwarf in front of Mu Yunlie.

At the moment, the dwarf was somewhat trembling.

But upon reflection, the dwarf was a bit puzzled.

What was she afraid of?

Although in this world, Mu Yunlie was indeed seven years her senior.

But after all, she was a person who had truly lived a lifetime in the otherworld.

So in terms of psychological age, she could call herself “big sister” in front of Mu Yunlie.

Yes!

Straighten your back!

Just as Yan Qianyi was about to straighten up and argue with Mu Yunlie, suddenly, her body seemed to lose strength and she rapidly fell backward.

Normally, at this time, a man would promptly wrap his arms around a woman’s waist.

Then, under the beautiful, romantic moonlight, their eyes would meet, and it would be a moment to remember for a thousand years.

But the outcome…
