Tang Wulin had never expected that Gu Yue would be so dependent on him at this point. When he tried to get her off of him, she stubbornly refused. In the end, he went from holding her in his arms to carrying her on his back. Riding astride him, Gu Yue giggled as he walked farther into the depths of the forest.
"I'm so thankful!" Tang Wulin looked at the arms hanging before his chest and could not help feeling quite amused.
Gu Yue stuck her head forward and kissed him on his cheek. "Father, I love you."
Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment. He was about to speak when his instincts kicked in and he leaped into the air.
A dark brown shadow flashed underneath his feet before immediately vanishing. If he had remained at his earlier position, he would certainly have been hit.
"Who's there?!" Tang Wulin shouted aloud, but he did not see anything in the direction the attack came from.
