"What are you all doing? How did it get injured?"
After a while, Veronia came back after capturing people and saw Feng Yuan holding Xiao Ji, which was in the form of an Eggshell Chicken. She asked oddly, though it didn't show externally, her senses told her Xiao Ji had clearly suffered notable injuries. It was indeed strange, considering Feng Yuan's strength was evident; how could he allow Xiao Ji to get hurt?
"I couldn't react in time. After all, I didn't expect it to block in front of me."
Petting Xiao Ji's round belly, Feng Yuan said helplessly. Honestly, he didn't foresee this situation himself. As for whether he would have been hurt if Xiao Ji hadn't blocked that attack? That's quite unlikely. Not to mention, the Dark Ancient Book automating its protection could intercept that attack.
