Just as he was about to bow his head and admit his mistake, he heard Chu Jing suddenly speak softly.
"I won't let any Beastman step on your back."
He froze, his pupils dilating slightly.
He looked down at his chest, his hand unconsciously pressing against it.
His heart was beating ridiculously fast. THUMP, THUMP, THUMP.
'Xiao Jing…'
'She actually…'
'…said something like that in front of so many people?'
'She must really, really like me to protect me at such a dangerous time.'
'Oh my god, oh my god!'
'What do I do!'
'My heart's beating even faster!'
'I…'
'I love her even more now!'
"Third Brother!"
"Third Brother!"
The four men across from them tensed up in an instant, their expressions changing in unison as they glared at Chu Jing.
The largest of the Beastmen stepped forward, his body towering.
He spoke in a deep voice.
