Xiao Han held the Vermilion Bird in his arms, stroking her hair, his heart finally settled down.
The Vermilion Bird had returned, and her strength had advanced to the Middle Stage of Divine Bridge. Such progress was truly astounding.
Even Xiao Han, who constantly fought bloody battles and ceaselessly improved his own strength, fell short by a step. But this also showed that the Vermilion Bird really had gone through a lot. She had been skirting the edge of life and death every day, and it definitely wasn't just talk.
"I'm sorry, I wasn't able to protect your family," Xiao Han said with regret.
He felt he had been negligent, having allowed something to happen to the Vermilion Bird's family. He didn't even know how they were faring now. If someone had really been hurt, Xiao Han would never forgive himself. He didn't know how he would face the Vermilion Bird.
