Xiaoqiao looked at me as if she was seeing me for the first time. Of course, I too had the common desire to feel a bit smug when a beautiful junior gazed at me with such admiration. However, it was not the time to indulge in such emotions.
"Don't just stare at me. He can't see me, but he can still notice your unusual behavior," I reminded her.
Upon hearing this, Xiaoqiao quickly averted her gaze. The reminder was just a precaution, since her eye movements directly related to my presence seemed inconspicuous to the "Preacher."
As we continued on our way, I sensed that Xiaoqiao's steps were more confident, perhaps because she realized the protection I, as a supernatural power user, could provide was much stronger than previously assumed.
