Ah Luo stared at her for a long time and looked around, before she burst into tears in Gu Bailu's arms. "My lady, I thought I was never going to see you again. I don't want to die. I need to protect you, my lady."
Gu Bailu understood her well.
Ah Luo had almost died under the torture, but she didn't because her lady was still alive.
Gu Bailu touched her head. "You're a good girl, Ah Luo. I'll give you dragon meat. For now, have some dragon blood."
Ah Luo was still weak. She fell asleep after her cathartic cry.
Gu Bailu asked Chen Yi to search the forest for the Flower of the Nether World.
By the time she returned to the main peak, Shao Di hadn't returned yet.
Somebody else had come to visit her.
"Where have you been?" The ragged man's voice was as unrefined as he was.
He asked Gu Bailu the question the moment she got back.
Gu Bailu finally understood that the barrier only worked on her!
