Tianmiao stood quietly on the first step, staring into the darkness ahead.
She was waiting.
Suddenly, a large flock of wings flapping sounded behind her, dense and rapid.
Tianmiao just turned around calmly, watching the swarm of creatures rushing towards her. It was hundreds of Bloodthirsty Demon Bats.
One doesn’t even need to think to know the fate of an ordinary person if caught by so many Bloodthirsty Bats.
Seeing these Bloodthirsty Bats swooping down, Tianmiao drew the Divine Cyan and effortlessly blocked their attacks. The light from the hall shone through, casting Tianmiao’s silhouette on the steps, her graceful figure dancing like a startled swan. Each move was perfectly executed to slay the Bloodthirsty Bats approaching her. The scene was like a beautiful and cruel painting.
More and more Bloodthirsty Bats appeared, yet Tianmiao’s expression remained unchanged, though she sensed she seemed to have no way out. Her movement range was between the sixth step and the eaves of the hall, with a thin Barrier barring her from the temple gate.
Tianmiao gradually slowed her actions, seemingly pondering something.
At that moment, a sudden change occurred.
Without any warning, a black barrier suddenly appeared, enveloping Tianmiao and shielding her, causing the Bloodthirsty Bats to plummet into the abyss upon contact.
Who was it that saved her?
Tianmiao stood still, looking up at the person standing at the temple entrance. It was a person dressed in a black robe, with eyes covered by a black cloth. The corners of his mouth curled up, looking over with an ambiguous smile.
Tianmiao looked expressionlessly at this person, clearly understanding it was he who acted. However, this appearance was somewhat exaggerated.
After all the Bloodthirsty Bats dispersed, the man in black gave an alluring smile, "Miss, are you alright?"
Tianmiao hesitated a bit, an alluring smile? She didn’t know why she would use such a cliché term to describe this man. Maybe because he seemed to be trying too hard to be chic?
"I’m fine." Tianmiao responded flatly.
"That’s good. Don’t thank me, it’s just a small matter, nothing worth mentioning." He stretched lazily, walked leisurely to Tianmiao’s side, muttering to himself, "Oh, these beasts, making me late again."
When did she say thank you? Sorry, this forced attempt to look impressive was too awkward, so awkward that Tianmiao didn’t know what to say.
"Miss, did you also miss the bus to the Chief’s office?" The man in black spoke as if completely unaware of Tianmiao’s awkwardness.
The Chief’s office shuttle?
Tianmiao absentmindedly replied, "Yes."
"Oh, no worries, it’s coming soon. You seem like someone who’s not used to being late. I know well, it will come soon." The man in black looked like someone who understood everything and ready to answer any questions.
Tianmiao remained silent, without saying a word. She had noticed that this man in black seemed to have no presence at all. What was his identity?
As soon as he finished speaking, a broad road suddenly appeared before the previously pitch-black area in front of the temple, with two horses made of black smoke approaching.
As the horses ran, they pulled a spacious carriage behind them, stopping in front of the two, with the side door opening automatically and a mist forming into steps.
The man in black made a gesture, "Miss, please?"
Tianmiao didn’t hesitate and boarded the carriage directly. Sitting on the carriage, she had the leisure to comment, "This service is terrible, the cushion isn’t soft at all."
