His tall figure instantly enveloped Xu Ling completely. Just as she was stunned, Pedro had already pinned her shoulders with both hands, giving her no chance to dodge.
Overwhelmed by his imposing aura and feeling a sharp pain in her shoulder, Xu Ling completely forgot to answer his question and immediately struggled, shouting, "You...you let go!"
However, no one knows what Pedro ate today, because no matter how much Xu Ling struggled, she couldn't escape Pedro's grasp.
Fortunately, Miller stepped forward at this moment, reaching out and seemingly lightly placing his hand on Pedro's arm, but Pedro immediately cried out in pain and let go, "Let go."
The same words coming from Miller's mouth naturally carried a different tone. Pedroben was still annoyed that someone had interrupted him, but now the cold words were like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, instantly cooling down his feverish brain.
Turning his head, he finally saw Miller standing to the side. "M-Sir..."
Miller glanced at him indifferently, but even that emotionless glance made Pedro involuntarily shrink back.
It's incredibly intimidating!
Seeing that he had finally calmed down, Miller didn't say anything and looked away. But the next second, his gaze involuntarily fell on the wheat field not far away, and a hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes.
No one knew what he was thinking, especially after what had just happened, which made everyone even more silent and trembling.
After a while, Miller looked away and said, "Let's go back."
After returning, Miller and Alger parted ways with Xu Ling and the others.
It's unclear what Miller and Alger are going to do, but Xu Ling and the others need to start packing their luggage for their departure tomorrow and the day after.
They hadn't been there long, so they didn't have much stuff, but even so, Xu Ling still spent a long time organizing it!
There was no way around it; even while busy packing her luggage, Sisi's mouth could still talk as she didn't miss any opportunity to satisfy her curiosity.
Fortunately, this time she didn't repeat the old question about what Xu Ling and Bishop Miller had talked about. Instead, she was curious about how Xu Ling had managed to cultivate such a large area of farmland in such a short time...
Oh, right, and those ripe ears of wheat in the field!
Xu Ling: ······
If the former is inconvenient to disclose, then the latter is even more impossible to say!
Fortunately, she had considered this issue beforehand, so when faced with Sisi's curious eyes, Xu Ling blurted out, "I definitely can't do it on my own! But we have Bishop Miller to help us!"
This answer...
Xu Ling glanced at Qianqian without making a sound, and seeing the "I see!" look on her face, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Great, she believes it!
Sisi exclaimed, "No wonder you've suddenly become so amazing!"
It's no wonder that Sisi believed Xu Ling's words so easily. After all, she wasn't a native of this world at all. Moreover, from the moment she came into contact with the church, everyone was conveying the idea that the God of Light was the most powerful being in the world. Naturally, the Church of Light, founded on the basis of the God of Light, was also one of the most powerful beings in the world.
Miller, as one of the only young bishops in the church in recent years, is even more prominent, which shows how terrifying his own strength is!
With his help, Xu Ling cleared such a large piece of wasteland in just a few days, which seemed like a piece of cake.
As for those waves of wheat in the field... without a doubt, they must have been made by Miller!
With all her doubts resolved, Sisi finally calmed down. However, Xu Ling never expected that after dealing with the curious Sisi, she would be greeted by an obsequious imperial prince.
Xu Ling: ······
Can the male and female leads please stop messing with her?!
Fortunately, this was the place where she, Sissi, and April lived, and men and women were kept separate. Even though Pedro wanted to get close and flatter her, he could only stand outside the door scratching his head, not daring to cross the line.
Just as Pedro was racking his brains trying to figure out how to please Xu Ling, Alger, who had come to Miller's place, finally couldn't contain his curiosity and spoke up.
"Sir, why are you leaving the wheat ears behind?"
Looking at the golden, sap-filled wheat ears, Alger was not as naive as Sisi and the others, nor did he have a half-baked understanding like Pedro; he knew better what all this meant.
It was precisely because they knew this that they were shocked and puzzled to see so many fields of wheat swaying in the wind that they hadn't been harvested.
Even if the church doesn't lack food, there's never too much food, so... did Miller leave these for the villagers on purpose?
Alger thought this, and then said it aloud.
Miller did not deny it, and nodded.
I never expected it to be true!
Alger was surprised and confused. "But didn't you already decide to give this reclaimed land to the villagers?"
Yes, Xu Ling was unaware that Miller had already made plans for the land that was about to be reclaimed long before the God of Light had even consulted with her.
Because this matter would ultimately be left to Alger to resolve, Miller had not kept it from Xu Ling since she began clearing the land, which is why he knew about it.
However, despite knowing this, Alger was still puzzled at first as to why the bishop only let Xu Ling do this task. Wouldn't it be more efficient for everyone to work together?
Alger was full of doubts, but he felt it was too trivial to ask Miller directly. So, after discussing and making a decision, he began to observe carefully from time to time.
Honestly, without comparison, you wouldn't notice the difference. How could the same piece of land look different if someone else cultivated it?
At first, looking at the reclaimed farmland and the dark brown soil, he really couldn't see anything special about Xu Ling!
However, although he didn't see anything particularly unusual, he was absolutely certain that the bishop had his reasons for doing so. So, one day when no one was looking, he quietly cleared a small patch of land near the farmland that Xu Ling had already cultivated.
To prevent Xu Ling from noticing anything amiss, he didn't make the land very neat; at first glance, it looked like it had been accidentally made with force.
Actually, as soon as he unearthed this piece of land, he noticed something was amiss—why wasn't the soil on his side as black as the soil on Xu Ling's side?
Such a thought only flashed through his mind at the moment, so Alger didn't take it to heart. However, he didn't expect that it was this seemingly insignificant difference that would eventually help him discover the huge difference.
Logically, one or two days shouldn't be enough for Alger to make any discoveries, but Xu Ling was the one who started the land reclamation and planting.
In a short period of time, she transformed the land she cultivated. The most obvious change was that the soil in the plots she planted became darker.
At first glance it might not be very obvious, but when compared with the dirt that Alger made, it's incredibly clear!
