Sister Ying'Er's hand flashed out, fingers bent like a claw, as she lunged for Ji Youzhi's throat.
Ji Youzhi, seeing this, skillfully retreated, a sneer on his face as he drew his sword.
Dugu quickly cradled Xiaosuisui in his arms, looking for all the world as if he were protecting a little white rabbit.
"Hey, what's wrong with you two? Starting a fight just like that! Can't you see there's a child here? Aren't you afraid of scaring her?"
Dugu hurriedly took Xiaosuisui aside, speaking gently to her.
"Princess, don't be afraid. Uncle Dugu will definitely protect you. Stay here obediently and don't move; Uncle Dugu is going to help your Seventh Uncle!"
As soon as Dugu finished speaking, he felt his face sting terribly.
He clearly felt the Princess's small hand tug at his clothes. Then, with a gentle pull, he was shoved aside by what felt like an invisible force, rendering him unable to move an inch.
"Seventh Uncle, I'm coming to help you!"
