"It's alright, I promise I'll never leave you alone."
"T-thank you, I'm so touched that you think of me like this!" An Jiaxin retreated several steps away from him as she looked up in his eyes.
The deep blue eyes felt as if they were frozen like ice for a moment, but in the next second when An Jiaxin blinked her eyes, she saw the normal flirtatious look was back again.
'Did I just see that right?'
Those eyes, those icy cold eyes… there is no way they were just her illusion. An Jiaxin felt the sensitivity and rejection her body gave off.
Don't tell me, he already saw through me?
This man was dangerous!
Yes, that was something An Jiaxin knew from the very beginning. Despite that, she still chose to follow him back then.
So, for now, she didn't have any other option but to walk side by side down to the same path.
"Haha, um… I think they are waiting for us. Let's go back, we still need to start our quest." An Jiaxin looked sideways to avoid his eyes as she turned around and started walking back towards the group.
At the same time,
The group of four were discussing by themselves whether or not they should follow the two strangers.
"I don't think it's a safe option, it's just the four of us started this party. Moreover, we don't have any idea about their backgrounds. What if they tried to trick us and made us fall into danger?" Liam was the most worried one and also the most suspicious of the two intruders within the whole group.
"That's true that they are indeed suspicious. But till now, they have only helped us. I didn't sense any hostility from the two strangers. I don't think we should judge them without knowing anything about them." Myra was concerned and at the same time, she has grown fond of An Jiaxin, the beautiful human sent by the heavens.
The Elven race of this world had a special power to feel and sense the emotions of people around them. They could tell if one has a friendly attitude or a fake attitude towards them in a second.
Until now, she didn't feel any bad emotions from An Jiaxin, though she was frightened by the overwhelming strong aura Mo Xuan gave off.
Myra even wondered how a small and feeble girl like An Jiaxin was holding off with such a dangerous guy!
What if… he bullied her somehow?
Even now, she was glancing at their way from time to time, keeping check on An Jiaxin so that if something were to happen, she could help the girl.
Myra didn't hear the conversation between them, but she did notice the change of expressions An Jiaxin had on her face constantly, but then her body got hidden behind Mo Xuan, so she couldn't keep her check anymore.
"Whatever, although I don't like that guy the girl is acquainted with, but I already told you guys that I'm willing to marry… no, I'll definitely marry her!" Sylus shrugged his shoulders as he put his hands behind his head and put his comment in leisure.
Liam almost choked on his saliva after hearing what he said, then looked up at the wolf boy with disdainful eyes.
"You really think so highly of yourself, when you are but a wolf tribe beastman. Do you think she looks like someone who lusts after little ones like you?"
The words were successful to stabbed right in the middle of the target as Stylus glared at him.
It was true anyway, he couldn't even find a way to retort against him!
So sour!
"Well, if it's like this, then why don't we keep them close to us until we get out of this dungeon? Both of them seem to be quite skilled, we can get some from them as well. " The priest, Killin, finally commented after watching everyone's reaction towards the strangers.
After staying silent for a period of time, Liam finally gave out a long sigh as he agreed to the priest's decision.
He is right, this way he can keep them in check as well.
When the meeting came to a halt, Myra saw that the other party was also done as An Jiaxin walked back towards them. But there was a slight difference in her mood.
She seemed… afraid?
***
"Wait, Ms. Queen, can you let us tag along?" Just as An Jiaxin and Mo Xuan were about to depart, Myra asked them again with an anxious face.
An Jiaxin looked back at her. She knew what she was thinking right now.
After the conversation, the two of them decided that if they wanted to tag along, then Mo Xuan would have no problem. But if they chose to take a different path, then An Jiaxin had to cooperate.
'It seems that fate is on my side!'
An Jiaxin was beaming after they wanted to travel together. She turned towards Mo Xuan as she gave him a sheepish smile.
"Hmm… Mr. Reaper, I think we should just take them with us. Since we are gonna form a group later anyway."
"Especially, I don't think they would be safe with a stranger at all."
'Excuse me, for them, you are also considered a stranger, alright?'
Mo Xuan saw the wariness within them very well, but this airhead girl didn't seem to have any clue about that.
Well, whatever.
To him, it doesn't matter whatever An Jiaxin did. All that matters is the result of her work, and that's why he was going to such lengths to flirt with her and slightly threaten her!
Somehow, this girl had undeniably good luck!
As if wherever she went, it's as if all the luck would run after her.
Even meeting someone like Mo Xuan and relying on him was also considered as her extremely good luck, more than once in the game, where everyone gets shuffled with their partner each time.
