Even though several days had passed, Xu Ling still couldn't help but shudder when she recalled Emerald's expression back then.
I can't stand it!
"You're just taking your anger out on me because you're powerless! What does this have to do with me?!"
Reliable instinct kicked in, dodging Xu Ling's "evil hand" while simultaneously rejecting the blame she was trying to shift onto him.
Xu Ling put her hands on her hips and glared at it angrily: "Didn't you promise me that you would stay with me that day? Where are you now?!"
Forehead······
This finally made sense; I remembered the promise I made that day.
A hint of guilt flickered in its cat eyes.
It's all because the atmosphere was just too good that day!
Xu Ling didn't get angry as usual; instead, she gently comforted it. So, her tenderness blinded it, and it couldn't help but say that it wanted to accompany Xu Ling to farm.
It swears it was just a moment of madness!
After standing there with Xu Ling for only two rounds, it felt extremely bored.
So later, when Thanos was being carried by Fil and was subtly signaling to it for help, it couldn't resist and ran off with Fil and the others...
Thinking of this, the cat, which had been holding its head high, lowered its head lower and lower, no longer daring to glance at Xu Ling.
Seeing this, Xu Ling snorted smugly.
Just as she was about to press on and say something more to make Kaopu feel ashamed, Kaopu suddenly raised his head and said seriously, "Lingling, shouldn't we build a magic circle?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Ling was immediately taken aback.
Yes! She should set up a magic circle and go find Ruth!
Getting down to business, all those chaotic emotions from before were immediately forgotten. Xu Ling rubbed her hands together, eager to get started. "Let's begin now!"
As he spoke, he turned on his system screen to prepare to purchase the magic circle.
After all, she had been waiting for this day for a long time!
A blue screen instantly unfolded in front of Xu Ling, but before she could even open the search, she was immediately stopped.
"Wait a minute!" the reliable one stopped her. "Lingling, let's wait a bit before buying the magic circle. Let's think about who to take with us to find Ruth."
"Huh? You and I are fine, aren't we?" Xu Ling blurted out without thinking.
Reliable: ······
Just it and her?
Stop kidding me!
The reliable person said earnestly, "Of course we can't rely on just the two of us! What if something goes wrong?"
Xu Ling was about to say, "What are you afraid of? Don't you have a lot of powerful methods?" when she saw Kaopu pause, then add knowingly, "There are some methods that I can't use!"
Xu Ling: ······
He couldn't help but mutter, "Still so useless!"
"What did you say?" Kaopu didn't hear clearly and looked up to ask curiously.
Xu Ling immediately shook her head, "It's nothing!"
Fearing it would continue to press for answers, she added, "Then who should we take with us?"
This question—
Actually, Kaopu had already selected the right person a long time ago.
In terms of sheer power, it goes without saying that the Emerald Elf is the only choice!
but······
Kaopu glanced at Xu Ling's expression furtively. This person, right now, is probably—no, definitely—not even worth mentioning!
But if we exclude elves, who else could it be?
Fei Er?
Thanos?
Or perhaps it was Old John?
Without even uttering it aloud, it had already internally rejected the notion of reliability. After much thought, it had to admit that the elf was indeed the most suitable!
Since there were really no good candidates, Kaopu decided to risk his "life" and give it a try.
"Perhaps—the essence..."
"Oh, by the way, what do you think of Fei'er?"
He had barely begun speaking when Xu Ling interrupted him.
Seemingly oblivious to what Kaopu was about to say, Xu Ling excitedly suggested, "I think Fei'er would be perfect. Not only have we been together for so long and know each other well enough, but Thanos is practically a hostage in our hands. Fei'er definitely wouldn't scheme against us behind our backs!"
There's one more thing Xu Ling didn't mention: she had signed a contract with Fei Er.
Although this contract is somewhat useless and cannot completely bind Fei'er, it is better than nothing. At least Fei'er cannot do anything to hurt her.
Moreover, due to the existence of the contract, she and Fei'er have something that can be described as telepathy! Even if the effect is not very significant!
It must be said that, putting aside the difference in strength, what Xu Ling said makes it clear that Fei Er is indeed more suitable to go with them than the elves.
only······
"Have you forgotten? Fei'er's poison hasn't been completely removed yet. Right now, it can only be completely suppressed thanks to the Tree of Life. If she leaves the Tree of Life, the poison can only be kept at a level that doesn't harm her body."
In other words, the little strength they had managed to recover was about to be suppressed again.
There's practically no difference between having Fei Er with you and not having Fei Er!
The reliable person spoke with a hint of helplessness.
Didn't it give this much thought beforehand?
It was only after careful consideration that they felt the elves were truly their best option at the moment.
"How about we look for the elves, Lingling?" After gritting her teeth, Kaopu finally said it.
silence.
silence.
Xu Ling responded with silence.
If she hadn't yet discovered that the elf harbored ulterior motives towards her, she would have been willing to give it a try, even if the elf was extremely rude.
But... now... is she really going to go find the fairy?
Xu Ling was torn between two conflicting emotions.
Reason told her that finding Ruth was the top priority, and she should agree without hesitation, even at other costs. But her emotions were questioning her: was she really going to sell her body for this?
Her long eyelashes drooped, concealing the emotions in her eyes. At this moment, her lips were already pressed into a straight line, and she was completely at a loss as to what to do.
In the end, Ruth was still more important to her, so Xu Ling gave up struggling and chose to compromise.
She couldn't help but take a deep breath, but just as she was about to say "Then it's an elf," someone unexpectedly beat her to it.
"I can help!"
Suddenly, Xu Ling and the reliable elf who were talking appeared out of nowhere.
Her long green hair drew a graceful arc in the air. Emerald stood not far from Xu Ling and smiled at her.
“I can help!” she repeated what she had just said.
Upon hearing this, Xu Ling frowned and looked at her. Fearing that she might misunderstand, she explained, "Didn't you want Fei'er to go with you? I can help Fei'er detoxify!"
"Can you?"
