Grabbing Li Cang's slender white wrist, Zhu Haomiao shielded her behind him.
"I'll go."
The dominating attitude left no room for objection, which made Li Cang slightly stunned.
Used to protecting teammates on the front line, this was the first time someone had shielded her from behind.
A strange, subtle emotion surged in her heart. Li Cang naturally pursed her lips, breaking free from Zhu Haomiao's restraint, and mumbled softly.
"What can a little fledgling like you, who just ascended to the Fourth Layer Heaven, show off?"
Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao turned back to her with a helpless smile.
"This is the Chinese Imperial City. Even gods must follow the rules here. Don't worry, there won't be a fight. Besides..."
Turning back, staring in the direction of the door, the boy in black murmured with meaningful intent.
"This is a guest who came to see me, so of course, I must 'welcome' them."
