Chapter 582: Want to Leave? Then I'll Let You Leave!

The icy voice was not loud, but everyone present heard it with exceptional clarity.

Lu Ziyue was even startled.

The voice... was a little too close.

She hurriedly turned her head back, and soon saw... Qin Feng, cradling a petite girl in his arms.

Lu Ziyue was momentarily stunned.

This man... when did he get behind her?

If she had turned back any more abruptly... she suspected the two of them would have ended up face-to-face.

Her cheeks flushing slightly, she took a step back, and soon her gaze was drawn to the girl in Qin Feng's arms.

Perhaps because she was being held by Qin Feng, the girl's cheeks were very red, but she wore an exceptionally comforting smile.

A jolt of bewilderment ran through everyone's heart, as if... in the cold of winter they had suddenly felt the warmth of spring.

An overwhelming maternal radiance!

A temperament that should never have appeared, yet it did—on the face of a petite girl.

Qin Feng's deep, dark eyes fixed on Lu Ziyue as he asked again, "Answer me. Was it worth it?"

"..."

Lu Ziyue's expression was firm and solemn.

Qin Feng's pitch-black, fathomless eyes carried a faint, simmering anger. She did not know the reason, but what she held fast to in her heart would not be shaken by it.

She paused briefly in thought, then said:

"My talent is ordinary; everything I have achieved today is the result of ten-thousand-fold effort—"

"If I can trade it for a chance for others to survive, why not give it a try?"

"Besides, I am a Lord of the Dragon Nation! Behind me lies the city where everyone lives—how could there be any reason to retreat?"

"I—ugh!!"

"..."
