As soon as Yue'er finished speaking, she waved at him and scampered off into the woods on her little legs.
Seeing this, Xiao Junheng froze for a moment. Forgetting to send a message, he hurried after her. "Wait! It's too dangerous for a child like you to be wandering around here! Don't run off!"
Even if he hadn't met her before, she was still a child of the main branch of the Xiao family. Naturally, he couldn't let her face danger here. As for the lions that had suddenly disappeared earlier, he never imagined they could be connected to this little girl.
Yue'er pulled out a fruit and ate it as she walked, glancing back at him. Seeing him catch up in a few strides, she wrinkled her nose and said, "Don't follow me. I'm perfectly safe on my own."
