Ji You carried Bai Hui on her back, running ahead, deftly dodging obstacles along the way. In a few flashes, she had disappeared from sight.
Li Yun struggled to keep up, panting heavily, and even began questioning his life choices.
This!
Is this really Ji You?
She's just as tall as his shoulder, looks so fragile, but she could carry a whole person and run so fast?
Li Yun clutched his chest, feeling like the shock had caused him internal injuries. Otherwise, why would his heart hurt so much? It felt like someone was incessantly poking his heart with a long, thin needle.
He was a grown man! Strong and muscular, with no extra weight to carry, yet he couldn't run faster than a small stature like Ji You?
Li Yun gritted his teeth, gasping for air as he ran. When Ji You finally stopped, Li Yun looked back at the charred, desolate land behind him—
They were very, very far from the border river now.
