Xu Yiyi complained, but her eyes were smiling. Of course she hadn't left.
The life-or-death crisis had passed. She picked up a withered branch from the ground and stared blankly, as if she had entered a meditative trance.
Seeing his daughter's sweet smile, Xu Lai inwardly cursed. This is bad. He wasn't worried about his daughter's meditative state, but that rotten kid Qian Xiao had obviously caught her eye. Xu Lai's teeth itched with irritation. How had he forgotten about this? Isn't this just helping that rotten kid Qian Xiao pursue my own daughter?!
The Heavenly Dao sensed the sudden surge of frustration from The Supreme Emperor and quietly took a step back. Feeling that wasn't enough, it retreated several more steps to maintain a safe distance, terrified of becoming The Supreme Emperor's punching bag.
