Regardless, Miller doesn't seem to have much ill will towards Ruth right now. Perhaps... she needs something from him?
Suddenly, another answer popped into Xu Ling's mind.
That's not necessarily true!
No, or rather, if that were the case, that would be wonderful!
When you need someone's help, you naturally have to lower your posture a little, whether it's just a little bit or being inferior—
Hehehe!
Setting aside this unverified idea for the moment, Xu Ling coughed lightly, drawing Miller's attention back.
"Alright, since you really don't know, I won't press you any further."
real?
Miller turned his face back in confusion, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Xu Ling's attitude changed so drastically that he was clearly not very sure.
Faced with his skepticism, Xu Ling shrugged and said casually, "We can't waste all our time on this 'I don't know,' can we? I have other questions!"
"...Do you have any other questions?"
"This!" Xu Ling immediately pulled a necklace from her collar and waved it in front of Miller. "And what's this?"
Miller really doesn't know anything about the necklace!
but!
People are most afraid of "but"!
However, even from this short distance, the intense light emanating from the crystal on the necklace was something he couldn't ignore, no matter how hard he tried!
He wasn't entirely clueless, but he could only sense who made the necklace; as for anything else... he really didn't know!
Miller pursed his lips, somewhat embarrassed, unsure of what to say. He wasn't sure if he could tell Xu Ling who made the necklace.
You know?
Judging from his expression, he seems to know something!
Xu Ling's eyes suddenly lit up, and she urged, "Speak quickly!"
However, just like before, Miller fell silent again.
Why is this happening again?!
Xu Ling couldn't help but complain in her heart.
She had already been magnanimous enough to let him off the hook with the previous question, so why is she doing this again?
This time, he's determined to give a proper explanation!
Just as Xu Ling made up her mind not to let Miller go, she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest.
What did she see?!
In the blink of an eye, the blinding sunlight from who-knows-where turned Miller's long, white hair to a golden hue.
This wasn't the end of it; it seemed that nothing more was enough. The sunlight grew increasingly dazzling, encroaching on a larger and larger area, almost swallowing Miller whole.
The light pierced through the surroundings, and Xu Ling subconsciously closed her eyes. However, when the light subsided and quiet returned, the moment she opened her eyes again, everything had changed.
This is not Miller!
Xu Ling cautiously took several steps back, creating distance between them.
Although the "Miller" in front of her hadn't changed much in appearance, except that his hair had turned a bright golden color, Xu Ling's sixth sense clearly told her that this was definitely not Miller!
"Who are you?" She unconsciously took a few steps back, her voice tense and clearly wary.
Miller tried to force a smile, as if to show that he meant no harm.
—This is what He learned from observing humankind: a smile signifies friendliness and harmlessness.
However, what He didn't know was that not everyone's smile would be interpreted in that way.
For those who rarely smile, when they do manage to smile, they have no idea how stiff and awkward the smile looks on their face. Moreover, their smiles don't necessarily convey friendliness to others.
"Miller" is the problem now.
At least at this moment, in Xu Ling's eyes, his smile had no friendly or gentle meaning whatsoever!
It could be said that she only saw the other party's condescending attitude and invisible oppression!
The danger alarm was sounded at an all-time high, and her intuition told her that the current "Miller" was extremely dangerous and far beyond her ability to fight.
She really wanted to turn around and run away, but reason told her that it was not the right thing to do.
She suppressed her fear, her right hand unconsciously forming a hand seal, and tried to ask in a calm voice, "Who exactly are you?"
Even though Xu Ling tried her best to hide her fear and dread, her voice still inevitably betrayed her true emotions.
She's scared!
Realizing this, Miller immediately dropped his stiff smile and hesitantly took a step back to distance himself from Xu Ling.
As he backed away, he said with a stern face, "I mean no harm."
People with malicious intent usually don't openly admit it!
Moreover, his stern face made him even more intimidating!
Xu Ling clearly didn't believe "his" nonsense, and her nerves remained taut.
“Really!” Miller emphasized to himself, trying to increase his persuasiveness.
It must be said that this weak defense is somewhat similar to the one before.
But this was not enough to make Xu Ling lower her guard. As if she hadn't heard "his" words, she kept asking who the other person was.
Not knowing how to introduce himself, Miller simply pointed to the necklace hanging around her neck and asked, "Didn't you want to know the origin of this necklace?"
Xu Ling lowered her head and immediately realized, "You gave it to me?"
The "Miller" in front of him did not deny it, "Yes."
In an instant, Xu Ling realized the identity of the person in front of her. "You are the God of Light?!" Overwhelmed with surprise, her voice involuntarily rose.
As the only and greatest god in another world, is He really so devoid of mystery? Was He really drawn to this place by just one question?
Surprise uncontrollably appeared on her face. Before this incident, she thought that someone like the God of Light, who could be considered the mastermind behind the scenes, would not appear unless absolutely necessary!
Isn't this a bit too easy?
Of course, this was just Xu Ling's own opinion. In fact, the God of Light didn't think there was anything wrong with what he was doing.
Xu Ling underestimated her own importance!
At least in this other world, her abilities are in no way inferior to those of the God of Light.
"Don't be nervous, the necklace is just for your protection."
Protect her?
Why protect her?!
Xu Ling frowned in confusion; she didn't think she would encounter any insurmountable danger.
To put it simply, it's dangerous...
Her gaze fell directly on the God of Light.
She felt that He was her greatest danger!
The God of Light, oblivious to the meaning in Xu Ling's eyes, relaxed slightly when she looked at him and continued explaining, "I mean you no harm—"
Before he could finish speaking, he remembered Xu Ling's reaction earlier and immediately added a few more words: "The necklace really doesn't have any other meaning, it's just to protect you. Of course, this is also just in case, it doesn't mean I don't believe in your abilities."
Xu Ling: ? ? ? ?
Why did His tone suddenly become so familiar?
Do they know each other?
Subconsciously, Xu Ling blurted out what was on her mind.
The God of Light was clearly taken aback, hesitated for a long time, and then shook his head, "I don't recognize him."
How dare you talk to someone you don't know?!
Xu Ling's gaze, which had been fixed on the God of Light, began to turn strange.
Could this be an imposter of the God of Light?
This feels so strange!
