239 SHE EASILY AGREED edited

Not long after that a man in dark green robe came in Senja's line of sight, she noticed that in his hand was an arrow. The same arrow which Senja had seen being brought by the enemy's reinforcement.

He walked with steady steps as his eyes skimmed his surroundings. Although, Senja couldn't see his covered face, she could still feel his strong aura from about 15 meters from her.

Senja pushed down the kid's head to bury it in her shoulder in a bid to stifle his sounds of sobbing. She pressed her back against the big tree and made sure there wasn't anything astray that could reveal her hiding place while her heart thumped frantically.

Ugh!

She really hoped to have another super power that she could use to defeat her enemy- like shooting laser beams through her eyes, turn invincible, even top-notch martial arts skills wasn't bad; especially in a situation like this! Nonetheless, she stuck to the excessive emotion that almost knocked her out.

The man walked past her hiding place. Senja gulped down her nervousness as she moved her head slightly to peep. He was nowhere to be found and the forest returned to its eerie silence.

Senja sighed in relief. She put down the kid, grabbed his hand and cautiously scanned her surroundings. After making sure the man in dark green robe was nowhere to be found, once she felt his intense aura dissipate, Senja wiped the blood from the kid's forehead with her sleeve and led him as she retraced her steps.

She really hoped that nothing would happen to Xiao Tianyao and the other Crescent Moon Members and that they could manage to suppress the enemy's reinforcement. Senja didn't dare imagine the worst- case scenario.

She didn't even want to think about the what ifs even as she tightened her grip around the boy's small hand full of anxiety.

Senja and the little boy walked in silence. Only now did she realize how deep into the forest they were. They'd walked for more than 15 minutes and had yet to reach the path where the battle took place.

"What is your name?" Senja asked the boy to rid the silence in this forest.

"Lee." He whispered.

"Lee?!" Senja looked down at the boy who returned her gaze. "I know someone who has a name just like yours." She grinned as her thought flew to her first brother.

It had been months since she came to this world. Senja wondered, how her 3 brothers would've reacted the moment they realized their little sister had gone missing. Would they look for her?

Senja pouted.

Of course, they would look for her! Especially Sian, he probably would have gone crazy by now.

Suddenly, she felt homesick.

When would she be able to return? Back to the safety of her home and under her brothers' protection.

As she thought, Senja turned glum. She sighed exasperatedly.

Right at that moment, an arrow flashed right before her eyes after slicing the tip of her left ear. Senja was in too much shock to even feel the pain when blood trickled down her ear.

Finally, she saw the man in dark green from earlier, pointing an arrow at her.Senja raised her hand and touched her bleeding ear.

Ugh! It's hurt?!

Just like her, the man in dark green robe also had shock written all over his face and Senja knew why. It must be my purple hair.

However, in the next second, he's back to his normal arctic expression. Yet, no one spoke.

Just when Senja thought that this was a very long silence, the man spoke.

"Hand over the boy."

Senja looked down at the trembling Lee, who was hiding half of his body behind Senja.

"Okay."

Her reply sent a trace of surprise, not only to the man but also Lee. He looked up at Senja with wide eyes.
