Xu Ling felt relieved after hearing Kaopu's words. No matter what, she still had a lot of faith in Kaopu's abilities.
However, as the next sentence was spoken, Xu Ling became indignant. What did that mean? Did they look down on her like that?
"What do you mean? You should know that you were the one who came to me in the first place!"
Xu Ling held her head high with pride. She hadn't wanted to at all back then. She wouldn't have cared if someone hadn't begged her!
Speaking of this, being reliable is like swallowing a bitter pill – you can't express your suffering.
It was too young and naive back then, thinking that it should bind itself to any host it caught, and that it would only get this opportunity once it was gone. It flattered Xu Ling and acted all humble and subservient!
Looking back now, if it had thought things through more carefully and considered things more thoroughly, it wouldn't have necessarily had to bind itself to a host. Although it would have been more difficult later on, it would have been much better than it is now!
Unfortunately, the facts are now set in stone, and there's no way to resist them.
As he thought about it, he became increasingly annoyed, especially when he saw Xu Ling looking completely idle and rambling on about nothing.
"Why aren't you farming yet? Think about your points, do you still have time to waste?"
Xu Ling's face immediately fell: "Didn't we just get back from playing today? I'll do it tomorrow!"
I finally got a break, how can I go straight back to work? I need to rest enough first!
However, this is not convincing at all, especially when the reliable person is unhappy.
However, Xu Ling kept a close eye on Kaopu's expression. When she saw that his expression had not eased at all, and had even become more expressionless, Xu Ling immediately changed the subject.
"Oh dear, I went out today and haven't had a chance to talk to Ruth yet. You can stay here and watch over things, I'm going to go play with Ruth and introduce her to some new friends."
She muttered to herself and left Kaopu's side a moment later. Then, she took the little vixen and kept a distance from Kaopu, not giving him a chance to cause her trouble.
Kaopu watched Xu Ling's actions quietly, keeping his eyes fixed on her even when she was a foot away from him. Only when she didn't give him a second glance did he slowly look away.
Fine, I'll let her off the hook this time.
Xu Ling breathed a sigh of relief when the burning gaze was withdrawn.
The little fairy watched as Xu Ling's complexion slowly returned to normal before asking a series of questions: "Master, what did Lord Baiyun say? What about the Tree of Life?"
Xu Ling regained her composure and comforted the little vixen: "Ruth, don't worry, it's alright. As long as Kaopu says so, you can rest assured!"
"Really?" Ruth's expression softened. "Did Lord Baiyun say what to do?"
Looking at Ruth's curious face, Xu Ling was momentarily speechless.
To be honest, she didn't even ask for a reliable solution. As soon as she heard that it was okay, she felt relieved without thinking.
Seeing Ruth's eager expression, Xu Ling felt a cold sweat about to break out.
She needs to come up with a reasonable explanation, otherwise Ruth definitely won't believe her.
Of course, she wouldn't dare ask the reliable method right now, for fear that the reliable method would keep nagging her to quickly earn points.
Although the points were appealing, she really wanted a balance between work and rest.
Who can blame her for not being able to overcome her physical urge to give up, given her desire for points?
Let's talk about points tomorrow!
A jumble of chaotic thoughts flashed through Xu Ling's mind, and she quickly pulled her wandering thoughts back.
What should she say?
Just then, Xu Ling's eyes lit up when she caught sight of the Tree of Life to the side. Wasn't this the one that was already there?
Having come up with a solution, her slightly tense mood relaxed.
"Ahem, Ruth, do you see that protective shield?"
Xu Ling pointed to the Tree of Life, and the little fairy's eyes followed, then she nodded.
"Look, when Kaopu and I left, wasn't this protective shield protecting you?"
The little fairy nodded, agreeing. Moreover, this protective shield must be very powerful, otherwise Lord Baiyun wouldn't be so at ease.
"So don't worry, this will protect you if there is any danger."
Wait, what is she saying? Xu Ling was stunned, her eyes beginning to show fear. A protective shield? Isn't that something that costs points?
The little fairy suddenly realized: "So, Master will use this to protect the Tree of Life from now on?"
She looked at Xu Ling with expectant eyes.
"Ah, yes, yes."
Xu Ling wanted to slap herself.
What utter nonsense is she spouting?!
Don't you know your own worth?
All that's left are those lonely 500 points, enough to last only one day with the protective shield!
Xu Ling was crying inside, but she kept her mouth shut.
"Don't worry, Ruth, I will protect the Tree of Life!"
He spoke with such certainty and his expression was so firm that the little fairy believed him without hesitation and nodded with a smile.
"Ruth believes in her master!"
No, please don't believe it!
Xu Ling was screaming inside, but on the surface she still had a relieved look on her face, as if to say, "That's great, Ruth believes in me."
Just then, a dirty little white ball of fluff came into Xu Ling's view, and Xu Ling's eyes lit up.
"Ruth, Ruth, let me introduce you to a new friend!"
As for the previous topic, let's not talk about it anymore. If we continue, Xu Ling is afraid that she will burst into tears.
Ruth also saw the cub covered in mud.
To be honest, the cub was filthy beyond belief, and Ruth, as a plant-loving fairy, really couldn't bring herself to like it.
But seeing Xu Ling's enthusiastic desire to introduce the two children, she could only nod.
Well, if the master likes it, she'll reluctantly get to know him.
So, Xu Ling led the little fairy closer to the Moonlight Silver Wolf cub.
Thanos had been observing his surroundings for some time and found that there was nothing but dirt; in fact, there was very little grass.
Looking around, apart from the slightly damp soil beneath their feet and a few scattered blades of grass, the soil in the distance was cracked, clearly indicating a severe lack of water.
Thanos had never seen such a sight before. Even in the most barren parts of the Misty Forest, there was plenty of vegetation. He couldn't imagine such a scene.
He looked at the soil under his feet and couldn't help but dig at it. Immediately, his snow-white paws were covered with a lot of gray-black mud, looking rather dirty.
But I must say, it feels pretty good.
Thinking this, he dug again, and then, captivated by the feeling, Thanos began to dig deeper and deeper into the soil beneath his feet, completely unaware of Xu Ling and Ruth's approach.
What is he doing?
Xu Ling's lips twitched as she watched the cub engrossed in digging a hole.
The cubs were already dirty enough, but now, with the mud flying everywhere, they're even dirtier.
