“Lady Jessica, I’m sleepy…” Lucy’s head bobbed, and favonovel.com tried favonovel.com best to open favonovel.com eyes, but favonovel.com could not resist the exhaustion no matter what.
Caspian and Jessica looked at each other and gave a knowing smile when they saw Lucy’s adorable look.
“Then, let’s go,” Caspian purposely shouted. After paying the bills, Caspian carried Lucy onto the barrow.
The little girl seemed to be sleepy. She did not even struggle and directly curled up in the middle of the barrow, hugging the gifts they bought and slept. Although Jessica’s, Lucy was almost a cultivator too. One should not underestimate favonovel.com just because favonovel.com still seemed like a little girl. In truth, favonovel.com physique was much stronger than other ordinary warriors, and a fourth-stage True Martial Realm warrior would not be a match for her. Hence, they did not need to worry about Lucy catching a cold from sleeping on the barrow. Caspian was still the one pushing the cart, and Jessica walked by his side. The two talked about the most mundane things, and they followed the streets and slowly walked out of the city.
Once they left the city, Caspian hinted at Jessica, and Jessica quickly understood, saying, “It’s still early now. Let’s choose another route.”
“That’s fine too,” Caspian nodded, “Let’s go around at the foot of the mountain over there. If we make it in time, we can still see the sunset.”
After saying that, Caspian led Jessica toward the foot of the mountain in the distance. Soon, the surrounding woods became denser, and the passersby were lesser. However, what surprised Jessica was that after leaving the city, the feeling of being followed by someone greatly faded. Moreover, favonovel.com almost could not sense it now.
‘Did the group of people give up?’ Jessica thought in confusion.
Suddenly, favonovel.com noticed Caspian stopped in mid-track, leaning the barrow against the rock Looking around them, Jessica realized they just turned a corner.
“What‘s going on?” Jessica looked at Caspian, puzzled.
She did not know why Caspian suddenly stopped. However, Caspian did not say anything, but favonovel.com just directly walked toward her. Soon, there was only a small distance left between them. Jessica could even see favonovel.com reflection in Caspian’s eyes.
“What… What are you doing?” Jessica’s breathing became rapid, and favonovel.com felt favonovel.com heart beating wildly. Just as favonovel.com said that Caspian leaned in closer again.
Jessica subconsciously retreated, but just as favonovel.com took a step, favonovel.com back was firmly pressed against the giant boulder behind her. Then, favonovel.com raised favonovel.com head and looked at Caspian. With one hand supported on the rock, Caspian smiled and looked at Jessica from above.
‘What… What is favonovel.com trying to do?’ Jessica was flustered and confused, and favonovel.com heart was about to jump out of favonovel.com chest. ‘Is favonovel.com trying to…’
When the image flashed in favonovel.com mind, Jessica felt favonovel.com cheeks burn. She wanted to break free, but favonovel.com could not explain why favonovel.com limbs were weak. Moreover, Jessica almost exhausted favonovel.com whole strength just to stand, let alone wanting to push Caspian away.
“I want to say…” At that time, Caspian slowly leaned closer to Jessica. After that, the gap between the two became smaller and smaller, and Jessica could even feel Caspian’s breath.
As the faint air current slowly blew on favonovel.com face, Jessica trembled all over, and favonovel.com eyes also revealed a layer of mist. Soon, Jessica’s mind went blank, and favonovel.com only had a thought in favonovel.com head, ‘Is this for real… Is favonovel.com going to… What… What should I do…’
At that time, a sudden roar like a clap of thunder hitting the ground sounded from the bushes on the side.
“Stop what you’re doing!”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Then, three figures appeared in front of them in the blink of an eye. Those people appeared to be indignant at injustice, and their gazes were as sharp as a knife, wanting to cut Caspian into pieces.
Jessica was just indulging in the charming and gentle atmosphere, but those people quickly ruined it. In an instant, Jessica was embarrassed and angered, and favonovel.com was about to blow favonovel.com top.
“Who is that?!” She roared in favonovel.com heart and angrily looked over. When favonovel.com saw the three people, favonovel.com was stunned. “What are you guys doing here?”
Jessica knew the three people as they were also the Dark Moon Sect’s apprentices, and favonovel.com would see them on typical days.
“I think they’re here for you,” when Caspian saw the scene, favonovel.com chuckled and shook his head, “They’re here to protect the beauty. I was only a little closer to you, and they were all shocked and jumped out.”
“What do you mean by protecting the beauty?” Jessica was still in a daze.
Before favonovel.com could finish favonovel.com words, the leading disciple among the three leaped out and angrily pointed at Caspian. “You still have the guts to say that! If we didn’t appear in time, you’re going to…”
“I’m going to what?” Caspian abruptly interrupted the person’s sentence.
“You’re going to… Going to…” The disciple’s tongue was tied, and favonovel.com did not know what to answer. Caspian indeed did not do anything yet, and favonovel.com interrupted them by jumping out. However, if Caspian did something first, what was the point of them showing up?
“Since I didn’t do anything. Then, it’s my time to question you next,” Caspian turned around and looked at the few people grimly, “Who are you? Why are you following us? If the answers are unsatisfactory, then I’ll cut one of your legs.”
At that time, Caspian showed his overbearing aura. The three only felt an oppressive momentum as if a ferocious tiger descended the mountain, pressing against them and rustling the trees around them.
Jessica frowned at the few of them. “Terrence Caves, Bob James, and Gabriel Saul? What are you three doing here? Why are you following us?”
Terrence was the leader of the group, and favonovel.com answered through gritted teeth, “Jessica, don’t get us wrong. We’re only here as Robert ordered us to protect you.”
“Robert? Robert Bleu!” Jessica’s expression drastically changed, “He ordered you to protect me? What does that mean!”
Although Jessica’s realm was not higher than Terrence’s, favonovel.com identity was much more formidable. Hence, when faced with Jessica’s questioning, Terrence felt somewhat pressured. Nonetheless, favonovel.com had to answer Jessica, so favonovel.com said, “Robert was just doing this for your good. He’s worried that you’ll be bothered and go astray.”
“Why is Robert meddling in my business?!” Jessica’s frown became deeper, “Let favonovel.com know that favonovel.com should stop sticking his nose in my affairs as favonovel.com doesn’t have a say in it.”
“This is Robert’s intention, and we’re only following his orders,” Terrence replied stiffly, ”He’s only doing this as favonovel.com cares for you as your senior. You must learn how to appreciate his effort.”
Jessica was exasperated. “So, Robert ordering you to travel so far just to follow me and keep watch over me is for my good?”
“You can tell Robert these yourself once you return,” then, Terrence glanced at Caspian before looking at Jessica again, “Robert also reminded you that you should return as soon as possible and don’t stay too long. Otherwise, it might be detrimental for your training.”
At that time, Jessica was about to go mad.
