Wen Shu's body suddenly soared into the air, and she unhesitatingly extended her sharp claws.
However, before she could make a move, the attacking male had already predicted her actions and quickly restrained her wrists.
His rough, cold hand also covered the lower half of her face.

Her back pressed against the icy giant tree, the tall figure before her blocked the moonlight overhead, enveloping her completely in his embrace.
In the narrow space, only the deliberately softened breath of the male could be heard.
"It's me."
A low and chilly voice rigidly reached her ears.
Wen Shu paused her movement to bend her knees, slowly raised her eyes, and met a pair of slightly contracted, deep green eyes.
Mious?
She held her breath, the corners of her eyes lifting briefly, her gaze tracing over his stern and resolute features hidden in the shadow, inwardly relieved he was unharmed.
