Li Weiyi was taken aback. From their previous encounter on the ship, he had thought that Zhuang Yue was somewhat arrogant and condescending. Now he saw that she was straightforward and would not play games with hidden daggers behind a smile.
A person like her sees right and wrong clearly, with no gray areas in between. If she were in the chaotic mortal world rather than in Luan Tai, she certainly would not have survived until now. He shut the insect tube away.
After Li Weiyi had escaped for a short distance, he called out from afar, “Don’t just keep trying to fight it; if you can’t beat it, then let’s run together!”
“Really single-minded!” came a low murmur.
As he retreated, he opened the insect tube. Inside the tube, shimmering and colorful mists swirled in dazzling hues. Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors were busy nibbling on leaves from a plant of the Dyeing Dawn Elixir.
When they noticed the tube had been opened, their seven pairs of eyes all fixed on Li Weiyi outside. After a burst of chirping and chatting, they resumed their feast as before. Li Weiyi’s face darkened instantly.
“All you care about is eating? When your master returns, you don’t even show a shred of excitement. No wonder someone was able to snatch you away so easily.”
