At this moment, Thanos no longer cared that he was being pressed to the ground. Now, he really wished he could bury his head in the ground and shut himself off from everything!
Even the reliable one found it unbearable, unconsciously turning his head to the side, frowning, and closing his eyes.
"What are you yelling about!"
Xu Ling was furious: "I screamed? Why don't you say that? What kind of nonsense are you spouting?!"
Xu Ling stood with her hands on her hips, glaring angrily at Kaopu, but in the end she couldn't help but swear.
She truly felt a deep sense of powerlessness when it came to reliability!
How exactly does it manage to shatter her confidence in something every time she gets excited about it?
Not only that, it also stomps on it relentlessly, crushing the heart, which was already shattered into eight pieces, into dust!
Xu Ling was so angry that she almost blurted out, "Tell me, what exactly are you good at?!"
Just because of this one incident, Xu Ling has erased all her other achievements?!
That's outrageous!
Does she still remember who secretly altered her data to obtain the Tree of Life?
Who is the Moonlight Silver Wolf who helped her exchange for the contract to bind her?
And who else spent a huge amount of points to find even the slightest clues about Rose when she couldn't be found?!
At this moment, Kaopu finally realized what it meant to have your sincerity wasted and what it meant to be an ingrate!
"Meow—!"
An enraged meow suddenly rang out, and Kaopu leaped onto Fei'er's head, looking down at Xu Ling with full force, baring its teeth.
"Xu Ling, don't go too far!"
"Without me, you're nothing!"
"With your pathetic skills, what can you do? You'd be lucky to survive!"
······
One offensive and nasty remark after another completely enraged Xu Ling, leaving her irrational and dizzy.
However, her first reaction was to vehemently refute what was reliable, but when she opened her mouth, she was speechless!
It has to be admitted that Kaopu's careless words exposed the most secret and least wanted-to-admit truth in her heart!
It seems she really didn't help at all!
Xu Ling silently shut her mouth and lowered her eyelids, just enough to conceal the self-blame and sadness that was about to spill out of her eyes.
She listened quietly to the reliable insults without uttering a single word of rebuttal. Even the most oblivious Thanos could sense that something was wrong with her emotions!
Unfortunately, they were so focused on the importance of reliability that they completely overlooked this point.
Seeing Xu Ling drooping her head in despair, wallowing in self-pity, Ella couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache in her eyes.
Her toes moved unconsciously, unable to resist taking a step forward. However, after only a small step, old John secretly gripped her hand tightly, signaling her not to do so.
Even though she knew that Old John's approach was right, Ella couldn't bear to see Xu Ling looking so dejected.
Pretending not to understand Old John's hint, she suddenly called out, "Reliable sir!"
No one expected Ella to shout like that, but in a moment of surprise, the reliable person actually managed to make it stop.
The incessant accusations came to an abrupt halt, and Kaopu finally snapped out of his passionate outburst.
It blinked involuntarily, as if only now seeing the reality before it.
The slightly dim night did not hinder the reliable vision; it could clearly see Xu Ling's deeply drooping head and the dejected aura emanating from her body.
Immediately, it couldn't help but let out a silent "Oh!"
The reliable creature grinned awkwardly and silently, finally realizing that it had gone too far!
Xu Ling is not as bad as it makes her out to be!
Suddenly realizing that he had gone too far, he immediately tried to make amends.
However, despite its good intentions, it couldn't utter a single syllable when it opened its mouth.
I spoke so freely just now, and now everything I say feels like a pretense.
Unable to speak, the reliable cat awkwardly scratched at the white fur beneath it, completely forgetting that the high place it was standing on wasn't some pile of dirt, but rather on Fei'er's head.
Imagine how much pain Fei Er must have felt when someone grabbed his head and frantically pulled out his white hair!
But there's a reliable adult standing on his head!
Therefore, even though Fei'er's claws were deeply embedded in the mud, and the pain in her eyes was palpable to anyone with eyes to see, Fei'er still endured it without letting out a single scream!
Thanos watched as the enormous wolf claws sank deeper and deeper, digging an ever-growing pit, and swallowed hard in fear.
One can imagine that if Fei Er had still placed the wolf's claws on his head, his head might be exactly like this dirt right now!
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Thanos immediately pressed his abdomen to the ground and retreated with lightning speed until he felt safe. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and stop.
Fier's "torture" did not last long, and it was Ella, who had spoken earlier, who saved him from his predicament.
Ella is an ordinary human being, so her gaze naturally cannot compare to those of the people present, who are not human.
But that doesn’t mean Ella has no merits.
Having gone through thick and thin with Old John at the bottom of society, I am naturally most sensitive to emotional fluctuations.
After all, you never know when a careless remark might offend someone else.
For outsiders like them, who travel around and are unfamiliar with every place they visit, the biggest fear is attracting the dissatisfaction of their neighbors!
They were terrified that failing to cultivate good relationships would bring about unforeseen disasters!
So, just as the atmosphere was about to become tense, Ella spoke up to change the subject.
"Reliable sir, if you don't know where the Iron Heart is, do you know any other academies?"
Although the change of topic was very abrupt, so abrupt that almost everyone knew Ella was trying to change the subject, it did manage to salvage the atmosphere.
At least Xu Ling's head, which had been hanging down, lifted almost imperceptibly the moment she heard her question.
Although Xu Ling's actions were very restrained, they were as obvious to Kaopu as a flickering fire in the dark.
Immediately, Kaopu couldn't help but praise Ella in his heart: Great job! Well done!
Kaopu seemed to have found an opportunity. He loosened his tightly clenched paws and leaped lightly from Fei'er's head onto Xu Ling's shoulder.
As night fell, no one saw a tuft of wolf fur fall to the ground as the Abyssinian cat left.
Suddenly, a weight settled on my right shoulder; I knew without even thinking who it was.
Xu Ling kept her head down, not shifting her gaze at the slightest movement.
The reliable one wasn't annoyed at all, after all, it was the one who was in the wrong this time and shouldn't have spoken so carelessly.
So, in order to get Xu Ling's attention, it seemed boneless, desperately rubbing its soft body against her neck.
