Clutching the bodies of the three children, he wiped the tears from his face. Ye Yinzhu spoke softly, "I cannot say I am a hero, but I can promise you all that I will protect you and your mother with my life."
The three children, not sure whether they felt the sincere emotions in Ye Yinzhu's heart, all fell silent. Their bright, sparkling eyes looked at him, unsure of what to think.
The Little Dragon Lady stood by Ye Yinzhu's side, her gaze still as soft, "May I hold them, please?"

From within the gloomy gates of the Dark Tower, a woman with dark blue hair and blue eyes walked out slowly. The cold, murderous aura around her was like a knife's edge, harshly directed at the Little Dragon Lady.
Seeing her, Ye Yinzhu's body suddenly stiffened, and he didn't even notice as the three children easily wriggled free from his embrace.
