"Can you tell me how you and Old Eagle met?" Shangguan Wan asked deliberately. Although she had already listened to Old Eagle's introduction, she still wanted to hear what the girl had to say.
"Yes...he saved me. At that time, I had run out of food and water. I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect to meet him." Xiao Xiao knew that if he wanted to fit in, he had to tell them the truth.
"Why are you there?" Shangguan Wan thought about it and said something similar to what Gu Ying said. But she still didn't trust her.
"I came from far away. The people there had all mutated. We had nowhere to go, so we hid everywhere. It took a long time, killing and dodging zombies along the way, until we finally got here." Xiao Xiao whispered about his experiences, a sense of sadness emanating from him. Thinking of those days of hiding and being chased by zombies, he couldn't help but feel terrified.
"We?" Shangguan Wan caught the word in her words.
"Well, there were four of us in a group, two men and two women, but one of us died on the way, and the two men behind us were bitten to death due to exhaustion. They hid me to protect me, and then I was rescued by him." Xiao Xiao explained slowly.
These things are all true, because Shangguan Wan saw sadness in her eyes.
"Are there any people with special abilities among you?" Shangguan Wan suddenly changed the subject.
Xiao Xiao was obviously stunned, looked at Shangguan Wan with horror, then hesitated for a moment and shook his head.
Before she answered, Shangguan Wan was thinking that she'd better explain herself, otherwise it would hurt Lao Ying's feelings.
But when he saw Xiao Xiao shaking his head, disappointment immediately fell in his eyes.
Xiao Xiao lowered his head and didn't see it, but he clearly felt that the atmosphere in the whole room changed after he shook his head. A cold feeling appeared on his back, making him feel bloodthirsty.
Shangguan Wan stood up holding her stomach, and with a flash, she grabbed Xiao Xiao's neck, using some force in her hands.
"Why are you lying?" Shangguan Wan said coldly.
The door slammed open and everyone rushed in. They had been listening to Shangguan Wan's questions outside the door, but they didn't expect to hear Shangguan Wan's angry voice. Han Lie was worried about hurting Shangguan Wan, so he kept guarding outside.
As soon as he heard Shangguan Wanhui's words, he immediately pushed open the door and came in, looking at Xiao Xiao vigilantly.
Xiao Xiao was strangled by the neck and had difficulty breathing. He looked at Shangguan Wan with pretended confusion.
"You yourself have a third-level wood-type ability, yet you told me that you haven't awakened any abilities. Tell me, why are you lying?" Shangguan Wan tightened the power under her hands.
The old eagle felt distressed when he saw this, but when he thought about how she had hidden the secret from him, he felt disappointed. He didn't expect that he had taken care of her for so long, but she didn't even understand him. It was really sad.
Xiao Xiao was shocked when he saw the eagle, especially when he saw the disappointment in his eyes, his heart was broken.
After spending so much time together, I've actually fallen in love with him, but I've never dared to explain it to him. Should I give up now before it even begins?
The eagle looked at Xiao Xiao, whose eyes were red, and was about to turn around and leave, but his feet seemed to be out of his control and he couldn't move forward.
Shangguan Wan loosened her grip and let go of Xiao Xiao, who was almost dying. It's not that she didn't struggle, but Shangguan Wan was so strong that her struggle was of no use to her.
Another reason was that Xiao Xiao didn't want to hurt Shangguan Wan. Even when she was on the verge of death, she didn't say she wanted to hurt Shangguan Wan.
Shangguan Wan was also puzzled, so she let her go. She could have easily attacked herself, just by kicking herself, or using vines to bind herself, but she didn't, nor did she use her powers, nor did she attack herself, but simply held her hands with her hands. This puzzled Shangguan Wan.
Xiao Xiao sat on the ground, panting, his body still soft and unable to use any strength.
"Why don't you resist? Why do you lie? What on earth do you want to do?" Shangguan Wan asked three questions in one breath.
"I don't want to hurt any of you because I like him and don't want him to have to bear these things. Why lie? I know I'm hiding my abilities, but what can I do? If I don't hide them, people will stare at my abilities and I won't even know how I died.
I don't want to do anything, I just want to be closer to him. He has taken care of me for so long, and I feel warm and cared for. I can't bear to give up this feeling, and I have fallen in love with him. "Xiao Xiao said his true feelings weakly, expressing his inner thoughts, but he lowered his head even more.
"It's just that I'm not worthy." Xiao Xiao said sadly. She had never accepted his kindness because she felt that she was not worthy. She was no longer a clean woman, and he was so good, but she was reluctant to leave.
I am so contradictory.
