Di Xiaxia blinked, what the- my apprentice actually protected her! Plus, he looked so cool doing it... guess raising this apprentice was worth it after all!
This game was very flexible. The Sweet Gentleman level's battle mode is turn-based with both defense and protection functions. Player characters could choose to protect other players as well as their own pets.
To put it bluntly, protecting meant taking the bullet for another character.
Nangong Jin immediately made a 'WTF' face and asked, "Is your apprentice an idiot?"
Di Xiaxia retorted, "Why are you protecting me? I can't die. Move out of the way or you'll be dead in three turns."
The Underworld Emperor didn't say anything.
Nangong Jin got upset and quickly chose 'protect' as well.
Then, Di Xiaxia automatically swung her weapon at Sweet Gentleman who counterattacked. An amusing scene followed.
