On the other side, Xu Ling, who had followed Kaopu for a long distance, was unaware that Qianqian was still up to no good. Although she had made an excuse to escape, she still had some business to discuss with Kaopu.

Just as she had thought, she had never discussed going back with Kaopu!

Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Ling immediately asked the question.

The reliable dog paused in its licking of its front paws, then looked up in confusion. "Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

"Can't I ask?" Xu Ling retorted with a slightly sharp tone.

"Of course!"

“However…” The next second, Kaopu jumped out of Xu Ling’s arms and stood in front of her, looking quite puzzled. “I thought there was no need to ask this at all, because you can’t go back at all!”

Xu Ling was completely taken aback, having expected that the reliable answer would make her feel guilty and stammer or try to change the subject. She never imagined that the answer would be such a decisive denial.

She wondered if she had misheard!

But when she looked down, she saw that Kaopu's face was full of seriousness, and he was obviously not just lying to her!

But how could Xu Ling, who was aware of this, possibly believe it?!

Just a short while ago, someone promised to take her home!

"Why can't we go back?! You brought me here, why can't I take you back?" Xu Ling asked aggressively, refusing to believe her.

To this, Kaopu rolled his eyes and asked leisurely, "Have you ever seen someone who traveled from another time be able to go back?"

Xu Ling: "......Why, why can't we go back?!"

Although she questioned him in this way, her words still betrayed a hint of her guilt.

To be honest, although she had read many time-travel novels before, very few of them actually allowed her to return to her original world!

However—although it's extremely rare, that doesn't mean it's impossible for her!

Novels are novels, and reality is reality. She can go back!

Almost instantly, Xu Ling regained her confidence and nodded affirmatively, "I can definitely go back!"

Reliable: ······

I wanted to jump up and hit her on the head!

It's wrong to doubt something when you should not, and to believe it when you should doubt it!

Kaopu took a deep breath and shouted from his diaphragm, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" determined to shatter Xu Ling's unrealistic fantasies.

After all, if she really thinks it's possible, wouldn't it be the other way around?

Xu Ling felt like her eardrums were about to burst from that shout, and she couldn't help but shrink her neck.

"If it's impossible, it's impossible. Why are you yelling at me like that?" But despite saying that, she still pressed on relentlessly, "Is it really, really impossible?"

The reliable person mimicked her tone: "Really! Really! Impossible!"

Xu Ling: "·····Okay."

We had no choice but to compromise in frustration.

However, Xu Ling's decision not to ask any more questions did not mean the matter was over.

Now it's the turn of reliable to be strange.

"Why are you suddenly asking this?" Kao Pu looked at Xu Ling strangely. "You've never thought about this before!"

The fact that something she had never thought about was suddenly brought up at this moment must mean that someone else had reminded Xu Ling of it, prompting her to ask this question.

From the moment she decided to ask about it, Xu Ling was prepared for the consequences of being pressed for answers by Kaopu, so she didn't hesitate much and told Kaopu what had happened before.

However, although she did tell him, Xu Ling did not tell Kao Pi everything, especially the part about how the God of Light could send her back.

After all, she had considered the God of Light as a backup option from the beginning, so she never thought of telling Kaopu.

Moreover, now that Kaopu has told her that it can't send her back, she's even less willing to tell Kaopu about it.

Fortunately, when they negotiated with the God of Light, they also discussed Ruth's matter, so their vague statement about finding Ruth did not cause any real problems.

Their thoughts were much the same as those of the God of Light, or rather, they felt that Xu Ling had gotten the better deal.

Even if the God of Light didn't make any demands, he still required Xu Ling to farm. She had to do it no matter what. Now, just by expanding the area of ​​farming, she could find Ruth's whereabouts... no, she would definitely find Ruth. Isn't Xu Ling getting a good deal?

"Great!" It was rare for the reliable person to praise Xu Ling. "You've really hit the jackpot!"

Xu Ling gave the reliable guy a barely perceptible smirk.

That's right!

She made a killing!

Perhaps not expecting Ruth's matter to be resolved so easily, Kaopu didn't notice Xu Ling's somewhat disgusted expression at this moment, and said to her seriously, "Now that it concerns Ruth, you have to do it seriously and try to finish it as soon as possible!"

"Besides, you can even earn points from me for doing just one job!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xu Ling replied perfunctorily, but she was still secretly relieved.

Fortunately, the reliable ones didn't find anything wrong!

——

After that, Miller didn't need to say anything more. As soon as she was taken to the wilderness, Xu Ling immediately kept her promise and diligently cleared the land.

As for why we're clearing land instead of getting straight to the point...

Who can blame us when there's so little arable land in the world?

Needless to say, those plowed fields are all near nearby villages and are extremely valuable. Moreover, at this time of year, it goes without saying that everyone is diligently planting crops; why would they let Xu Ling, who clearly has no experience in farming, ruin them?!

Besides, Xu Ling's method—planting and harvesting in an instant—was something she didn't want to cause an unnecessary sensation!

So, to avoid being seen, they chose a secluded spot in the wilderness, just like before.

Fortunately, the land reclamation wasn't done by Xu Ling alone; otherwise, she wouldn't know how long it would take her to finish just one task!

In order to plant crops as soon as possible, Qianqian and the others who had been busy searching for the faint demonic energy temporarily stopped their futile task and instead worked diligently with Xu Ling, carrying hoes to clear the land.

Of course, it wasn't just Sissi and her friends who were involved; even Alger wasn't spared.

As for Miller...

Despite Alger's strong resistance, he simply couldn't imagine the bishop in his white robes and silver coats sweating profusely while wielding a hoe like him!

Miller, as always, stood by and watched them work.

It has to be said, there is strength in numbers!

In just a few days, the place, which was originally overgrown with weeds, was cleared into a large, well-maintained area.

Since only Xu Ling was needed afterward, the useless Qianqian and the others were sent back to find the demonic energy that had vanished without a trace.

Only Xu Ling and Miller remained in the same spot.

This time there was no need to hide anything, so Xu Ling openly brought up the system screen.

Nevertheless, in Miller's eyes, she was just pointing her finger out of thin air, and he didn't know what she was doing.

Fortunately, Miller was already experienced with this and didn't pay much attention to Xu Ling. All his attention was focused on the land where lush seedlings had suddenly sprouted.

The scene was no different from last time. In the blink of an eye, the seedlings quickly sprouted and matured, and the next second, there were neatly piled ears of wheat after the harvest beside him.
