"Little girl, do not joke around with me. I will have you know that I am old and cannot be scared like this, lest it bodes poorly for my health. I think it would be best if you move with haste. After you have done that, I will happily take you on a trip to buy some candy." Sky King was shocked, but his face still displayed a smile. He had not been this soft in many, many years.
"I see. In that case, okay, I think I can do that." Bao'er nodded. She held the flying fish as if she was going to have it retreat.
Sky King was delighted. Once the flying fish exited his proximity and the little girl turned around, he could get free of the flying fish's lock on him, break space, and escape it.
Even if the flying fish caught up, it was going to be hard to lock onto him. He could certainly find a way to escape the pursuit of the flying fish. The feeling of being on the cusp of death for so long was not an easy one to endure.
