Long Yutian lay beside her, holding her tightly, "Babe, rest easy and sleep! I'll be right here by your side, and no one will dare scare you again."

That might have been effective in ancient times but is completely unnecessary now—it's inconvenient to carry and easily exposes the target. Wouldn't using a gun be more convenient?
