1355 Nothing But a Hindrance

Just as Tian Yang started walking away, Huang Xiao Li shouted in a scared voice, "Stop! Don't leave me! I don't want to be alone!"

"You're not going to be alone… I will still be nearby…" he said.

"No! I want you to be by my side—somewhere I can see you!"

Tian Yang found this a bit bothersome, but he didn't blame her.

'She's most likely traumatized by our journey here… not that I can blame her.'

Huang Xiao Li was not even twenty years old, and yet, she had already faced harrowing experiences that most individuals wouldn't even dream of encountering. No matter how much of a genius she was, it was only natural for her to be traumatized.

"Alright, I'll stay in your view."

Tian Yang proceeded to face away from her and even closed his eyes.

Of course, he could still peek using his divine sense, but he wasn't a degenerate who would do such shameful acts.

Huang Xiao Li immediately removed her dirty clothes and changed into Tian Yang's uniform.

"Okay, I am done. You can look now," she said a moment later.

Tian Yang turned around to see her new appearance. Unsurprisingly, she still looked charming even when wearing his clothes. In fact, it made her look even more unique.

Tian Yang avoided commenting on her new look fearing that it might offend her.

"Let's keep moving. I'd like to reach a city before it gets dark if possible."

The two of them picked up their pace and began speeding through the land while Tian Yang continuously scanned their vicinity for any presence.

Several minutes later, they encountered a magical beast that resembled a turtle.
