"Young Master!"
In just the brief moment of conversation, Peng Ru sensed the presence of Wang Junze and came running, eyes full of joy, throwing herself into Wang Junze's arms, crying mournfully.
With a soft jade in his embrace, Wang Junze was somewhat taken aback.
Wait, young lady, do you really not see yourself as an outsider?
But sensing Peng Ru's excitement and agitation, Wang Junze couldn't bring himself to push her away. He simply smiled wryly, gently patting Peng Ru's back to soothe her emotions. Once Peng Ru calmed down, Wang Junze softly said, "There, there. Look at me, I'm just fine, right? I promised to come to get you. This young master always keeps his word."
"Mm!"
Nodding vigorously, Peng Ru emerged from Wang Junze's embrace, only then realizing her shyness, responding with a flushed face.
After comforting Peng Ru, Wang Junze didn't linger. After bidding farewell to the Mirage Dragon, he rode the Netherworld Flying Ship towards Netherworld City overnight.
