There was no sign of anyone chasing them from behind.
Bai Su ran for a good distance while carrying Bai Xiaoshe, but she eventually couldn't run anymore and had to put him down.
Bai Xiaoshe looked at her with a complicated expression. "Why did you save me back there?"
It took Bai Su a long moment to catch her breath. She looked at him with a hint of helplessness. "You silly boy. You're my child. It's a mother's instinct to protect her young. If I don't protect you, who will?"
Bai Xiaoshe pressed his lips together, not knowing what to say.
Bai Su took his hand and they started walking slowly toward the restaurant. "Let's hurry back. We'll be safe once we're home. That giant snake probably won't dare to follow us there."
Bai Xiaoshe said, "That snake is at least Level 9. You almost died back there."
Thankfully, that Snake Beastman was injured. Plus, with the low temperature in the mountains, he seemed to be heavily affected, and his movements were much slower.
