As for why, the reason is quite simple.

First, Xu Ling could not bear to stand by and watch someone die.

Just like when she saved Fei'er, she had never experienced cruelty and didn't know what the law of the jungle or the survival of the fittest meant.

Whether it was her past life or the life before that, the worlds she experienced were peaceful and stable, and life was precious no matter which world she lived in.

Therefore, seeing the two of them like this, Xu Ling couldn't help but lend a hand, and that was it.

The second reason is because of their appearance.

With the same black hair and similar oriental features, Xu Ling couldn't help but think that they were from the same hometown.

Even though it wasn't him, Xu Ling felt a sense of warmth upon seeing this familiar face.

Of course, another reason is that she promised Thunderbird.

Even if Thunderbird isn't human, she still doesn't want to fool it.

Even as a human being, or even as a god, one must keep promises.

Having gone back on her word once, Xu Ling herself couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't do the same again if faced with a similar situation in the future.

Anyway, she didn't want to become a god who broke his word.

So, no matter what, she had to save them.

At that moment, Xu Ling ignored the thought that flashed through her mind—no matter what, she had to find a way to save the two people.

However, for Xu Ling, saving these two people did not mean that she had to part ways with Kaopu.

In any case, ever since she woke up in this world, Kaopu has always been by her side.

They'd been together for at least a month or two, and Xu Ling felt that while the system she knew might not be reliable, it was definitely not the kind of system that would abandon someone in distress.

Otherwise, after she saved Fei'er, Kaopu wouldn't have let her take her back to the Barren Land.

So even though Kaopu is acting cold and indifferent, Xu Ling decided to give it a chance to explain why it wouldn't let her save people.

Of course, it's impossible not to save people.

The reason she asked Kaopu to speak was simply to prevent Kaopu from stopping her.

So, Xu Ling forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, slowly exhaled, and her expression calmed down, even showing a slight smile.

"You're reliable," Xu Ling's tone softened instantly, the tense atmosphere from before vanished abruptly, "Can you tell me why you won't let me save people?"

"No matter what, saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda!"

As she uttered the Buddhist verse, Xu Ling felt that she should now radiate a golden light called compassion.

Anyone would be moved by this!

Unfortunately, Reliable is not human, and it's a system without emotions.

Therefore, Kaopu remained unmoved by Xu Ling's compassionate attitude.

Moreover, Kaopu avoided answering Xu Ling's questions.

It wasn't that it didn't want to tell Xu Ling the reason; at least if it did, Xu Ling would think twice before acting.

But the problem is, it's not just him and Xu Ling here!

If we tell Xu Ling now, wouldn't that be the same as Fei Er finding out?

Just then, the reliable man heard the cry of a thunderbird.

Oh, I almost forgot, not only Fei'er, but also that dead bird will know!

If Fei'er and the others find out about this, the consequences will be far more serious than if Xu Ling were to save the two people in front of her right now!

Doesn't that put the cart before the horse?!

Therefore, at this point, Kaopu would definitely not reveal the reason why he didn't let Xu Ling save the person.

All it could do was keep shouting, "I just can't save anyone!"

It can only be said that Xu Ling asked the question at the wrong time.

Kaopu thought to himself, "It seems that after today's matter is resolved, I will have to find an opportunity to warn Xu Ling so that she can't be so reckless!"

Xu Ling never expected that when she kindly gave Kaopu a chance to explain, Kaopu not only remained unmoved but also kept repeating his original statement.

At first, Xu Ling didn't realize that Kaopu didn't want to talk about it, and just thought that Kaopu was being difficult with her, so she kindly asked him a few more times.

She asked three times, but the answer was always the same: "I just can't save people."

Xu Ling then understood what "reliable" meant.

So there's no reason at all, she's just not allowed to save people!

Because of this, Xu Ling's suppressed anger surged up again.

The smile on his face vanished completely in an instant.

Xu Ling looked down at Kaopu with a blank expression.

She had already given Kaopu a chance, but since Kaopu was unwilling to talk about it, she decided not to interfere.

Let's see if it can stop her!

She had to save the person she wanted to save!

Xu Ling's eyes remained fixed on Kao Tou, but her fingertips quietly began to pinch.

Unfortunately, Kaopu was always on guard against her movements. The moment she moved her fingertips, Kaopu pounced on her without a second thought.

It is reliable to believe that this time it will continue to interrupt Xu Ling's performance.

However, it guessed wrong!

This wasn't a gesture for casting a spell at all; it was something Xu Ling did intentionally to lure it away!

Just as Kaopu leaped up, before he could get too close to Xu Ling, a gust of palm wind came straight at him.

Xu Ling's move was completely unexpected. Kaopu had no time to defend itself and was affected by the palm wind, flying straight backward.

Its eyes were filled with utter astonishment as it looked at Xu Ling.

I never expected Xu Ling to have such a hidden trick up her sleeve!

How come it didn't know Xu Ling could use this move before?!

It was too late to realize this now. Taking advantage of the opportunity as the bird flew backward, Xu Ling quickly made her move.

Seeing this, Kaopu immediately knew something was wrong!

This time, Xu Ling was serious!

"Xu Ling, how dare you!"

Kaopu roared at Xu Ling to stop, but Xu Ling remained unmoved.

As she flipped through the pages, Xu Ling heard some reliable words and even let out a cold laugh.

Let's see if she dares to do it!

Xu Ling's hand gestures quickened even further in the next instant.

Just a few seconds after Kaopu flew away, Xu Ling completed the hand gestures for the healing spell. By the time Kaopu flew over to stop her, she had already cast the Rain Transformation Spell again.
