Lady Ming Yue entered after Li Shen invited her in. At first, the guards from the Ming Yuan Sect asked the woman not to act rashly. They were worried that Shen Li would take advantage of Lady Ming Yue.
However, Li Shen reassured them that Lady Ming Yue was safe with him. No power in heaven or earth could harm her as long as she was with Li Shen.
"You are being too excessive, Daoist Shen," replied Ming Yue.
"You are my guest. Your safety is my responsibility. Allow me to protect you as part of my responsibility," said Li Shen.
Ming Yue's cheeks flushed red, embarrassed by Shen Li's bold attitude, even though Ming Yue knew very well that the man was only a Mid-Stage Nascent Soul cultivator, while Ming Yue was a Perfect Nascent Soul cultivator.
The power gap between them was already huge, but Li Shen still insisted on protecting Ming Yue on the grounds that she was his guest.
