Xiao was quite irritated at the moment. Well, irritated might’ve been an understatement. He’d been searching for the traveler for hours on end, being sent to inform her of a quest given to her by Ningguang. And when he finally found her, she was fighting off a giant hoard of monsters on her own, her movements sloppy and tired. Clearly, she’d been at this for awhile. So, which a groan, he yanked her towards him by her arm, pulling her behind him. “Stay back, I’ll handle the rest.” He hissed, drawing his spear and easily fighting them off.
