Ya Gu smirked, "Tsk tsk~didn't expect this Golden Lion to react so quickly."
Lowering his eyes, he saw the undeniable joy on Ji Nuan's face, and with a cold, mocking glint in his eyes, he sneered, "Hoping that lion would come to your rescue, are you? Heh~"
After saying this, he took a moment to cast a derisive glance at Ji Nuan.
"Dori, you go handle that lion! I'll take this female back!" Ya Gu raised his head and directed his words towards a large tree.
Suddenly, a gaping Ji Nuan watched as a massive long-haired gorilla leaped down from the tree canopy, transforming into a muscular orc covered in dense fur.
The orc named Dori swiftly glanced at Ji Nuan, somewhat surprised, and then lumbered towards the spot where Ge Tai had just roared.
Watching Dori's figure recede into the distance, Ya Gu kept hold of Ji Nuan, who seemed somewhat dejected, and quickly swam away with her.
"Forget any ideas of escape. I won't let you go, nor will any orc manage to rescue you from me, Ya Gu."
