Long Xueyao stood on the stone steps and looked down at the chaotic battle. At that height, she could clearly see the fight between Shen Yanxiao and the two demons. What she saw shocked her.
A delicate young man easily subdued two demons!
When she saw Shen Yanxiao walking unhurriedly between the demons and the humans to the bottom of the boulder, Long Xueyao finally relaxed.
Shen Yanxiao walked lazily to the boulder and looked up at Long Xueyao, who stood on the stone steps.
She suddenly raised her arms and said to Long Xueyao, “Jump down.”
“What?” Long Xueyao looked at Shen Yanxiao in shock.
Shen Yanxiao furrowed her eyebrows. She was too lazy to climb up and carry the young lady back down. However, she had a tender heart for the fairer sex, and it was not appropriate for her to let a little beauty stand there and enjoy the cold breeze.
Gu Feng, who had been standing at the side, snapped back to his senses. He looked at Shen Yanxiao and immediately walked towards her. “What are you doing? The demons have yet to leave. How could you let Yaoyao come down?”
Shen Yanxiao glanced at the noisy Gu Feng with contempt before she said to Long Xueyao, “The demons have retreated.”
“Retreat! Are you out of your mind? How could they possibly…” Gu Feng was still cursing when he suddenly turned around and saw that the demons, who had been stuck fighting with the mercenaries, had suddenly started to retreat.
“What… what’s going on…” Gu Feng was completely dumbstruck.
Shen Yanxiao ignored him and looked at Long Xueyao impatiently.
“Hey, if you don’t jump, I’m leaving.” There was a time limit for her tender and protective nature.
Just as Shen Yanxiao finished her sentence, a beautiful figure leaped down from the stone steps. The next second, Long Xueyao landed into Shen Yanxiao’s arms.
One could only imagine the impact when one fell from such a height. Fortunately, Shen Yanxiao was prepared and had infused her battle aura into her arms so that they would not break.
However…
It was still not a pleasant feeling.
Shen Yanxiao was a meticulous person. She noticed that Long Xueyao was the only female in the group, and she was too lazy to continue to climb up the ladder. No one else could do it other than her. If she were to let the other mercenaries bring Long Xueyao, it would not be good for her reputation as a young lady. And since she was a female, she thought that it did not matter.
However, Shen Yanxiao did not realize that she was not dressed like her gorgeous self. Instead, she was dressed like a simple-faced young man…
Long Xueyao’s heart skipped a beat when she landed into Shen Yanxiao’s embrace.
When she thought about how Shen Yanxiao had dealt with those two demons, she looked at the young man who was only inches away from her, her heart started to thump.
Shen Yanxiao did not notice anything. She only thought that the mission was completed and that she had successfully tricked the two demons into leaving.
“Little brother, please wait!” A shout suddenly echoed.
Shen Yanxiao turned around and saw Fang Qiu, who was in a sorry state, walking towards her with the help of several mercenaries.
“Little brother, thank you so much for saving us just now. If it were not for your righteousness, I’m afraid we would have all died here today.” Fang Qiu looked at Shen Yanxiao gratefully. He was puzzled when the demons suddenly retreated. They were about to kill them, so why did they suddenly retreat?
