An Jin struggled out of Mi Yin's embrace, taking a gulp of fresh air and retreating two steps.
She took his long, cool fingers in hers, and they started walking toward the city. "I managed to get you permission to stay for a few days," she said gently. "You need to rest and recover in the city, understand?"
She glanced back at his wounds, her expression filled with heartache.
Snakes were afraid of fire, and he had faced it to save her. It was only right that she help him until he was fully healed.
An Jin glanced at his conspicuous black-and-red snake tail and, after some thought, said, "Maybe... you should put your tail away for now. It might cause a panic when we enter the city."
"Alright."
Before she could react, Mi Yin swiftly transformed his snake tail into human legs. His tall, slender frame was completely exposed—and stark naked.
An Jin was left speechless.
Her face flushed as she turned away, but the next second, Mi Yin scooped her back into his cool embrace.
