Qianning stared at the figure emerging from the sea of flames, startled, she seemed to regain strength from nowhere and scrambled up from the ground, rushing to hug Beigong Cang and Lele tightly.

He gently sat on the edge of the bed, looking at these two women, and lightly smiled. These were the two women he had to protect in this life, also the ones he loved the most.
