"I'm talking to you nicely, you little brat! Just because you're young doesn't mean you can't speak properly!" Ren Baitou said, his face turning red with anger.
Mu Liangchao's smile also turned cold. He pulled back the angry Ren Baitou and looked down at Xiao Le:
"I hope you can always be this arrogant."
What are you doing?
A voice tinged with suppressed anger came through.
Xiao Le slightly raised her eyes and saw a man with long black and blonde hair walking towards her through the gap.
"Fu Guang".
The designer brand on his head gleamed in the sunlight.
sun.
Xiao Le looked at Fu Guang.
Fu Guang,
It means the sun.
Fu Guang looked at the three of them with cold eyes, his gaze falling on Mu Liangchao, who was blocking Ren Baitou and had a cold face: "Mu Liangchao, you speak."
Mu Liangchao gritted his teeth and said nonchalantly, "Let's... get to know our Xiao Le properly!"
Fu Guang's eyes darkened: "If you have any complaints, go through the proper channels to refute my handling of the matter. Your favoritism is not a legitimate reason to offend others."
Mu Liangchao pursed his lips and lowered his head slightly.
Ren Baitou blushed first: "Boss, I was wrong. I shouldn't have bullied the child."
Fu Guang's tone was cold: "It's not a matter of who's younger or older. Even if you're seven years older than her, you shouldn't be outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant towards me."
Ren Baitou looked flustered and dared not retort.
Fu Guang then looked at Mu Liangchao, who remained silent: "I don't mind if you're protective of your own, but you can also understand if I'm protective of mine, right?"
Mu Liangchao's expression changed slightly. He looked up at his face and said in a low voice:
"I'm sorry, boss, I know I was wrong, I accept the punishment."
Fu Guang's expression softened slightly: "With the mission at hand, the most important thing is to go to the Enlightenment Ice Nest to drive away the alien species. We'll talk about your mistakes when we get back."
He paused, then asked, "Did you make a move?"
Mu Liangchao was a little embarrassed to say it: "...I was pulling her hat."
Ren Baitou honestly replied, "I poked her butt with my foot."
Fu Guang narrowed his eyes, flashed forward, and lifted his foot.
"Ouch!"
"ah!"
Mu Liangchao and Ren Baitou, clutching their painful buttocks, jumped two meters away.
Two solid kicks from a super ninth-tier powerhouse.
Mu Liangchao said aggrievedly, "Why did you kick my butt? I didn't even touch her!"
Fu Guang tilted his head slightly: "Ren Baitou is your brother, won't you share the joys and sorrows with your brother?"
Mu Liangchao choked, rubbing his buttocks as he squatted to the side amidst Huanbo's mockery.
Ren Baitou, being honest and feeling he deserved the kick, obediently sat down to the side.
Xiao Le saw all of this, and her anxiety subsided considerably.
It's fine if you don't skip it... but if you skip it, you won't see this part.
At this moment, Fu Guang squatted down in front of her, his golden eyes gleaming with the warm light of the sun: "Does your butt hurt?"
Xiao Le looked at him speechlessly.
It's not like she got kicked in the butt!
Fu Guang chuckled, patted her head through the hood, adjusted the hood, and gave it a gentle tap.
Xiao Le didn't dislike his actions, considering that he had just helped her chase away two flies.
Fu Guang glanced at the unsheathed sword in her hand and smiled:
"As long as I didn't suffer a loss, that's fine."
"Ignore them."
"You don't need to apologize."
His voice wasn't loud, but everyone else, who wasn't hard of hearing, could hear him.
Ren Baitou rubbed his bottom with a pitiful expression.
Mu Liangchao grimaced with envy.
Xiao Le was puzzled by Fu Guang's words.
Why did he say there was no need to apologize?
Should they apologize or not?
Xiao Le looked up at him.
Fu Guang understood her gaze: "You were wrong about that matter. To others, you lost your composure. But it wasn't your fault. It was my fault."
Fu Guang helped her sheath her sword and said softly, "It's something I haven't taught you yet: you have to treat different people differently."
It's not wrong for you to give it your all; the mistake is that I haven't taught you that sometimes you don't have to.
Xiao Le shook his head.
"Where do you think I said something wrong?"
Xiao Le looked at him and spoke for the first time:
"At any time, you must give it your all to survive."
"Sister Xiaoye said so."
Mu Liangchao paused for a moment and glanced in their direction.
Ren Baitou scratched his head, seemingly lost in thought.
Fu Guang's breathing faltered for a moment. He steadied himself and said, "She taught well, but giving it your all doesn't mean you have to fight to the death every time."
"Is there a difference?" Xiao Le didn't understand.
"Yes, I'll teach you slowly, okay?"
Xiao Le nodded.
Fu Guang smiled and gave her a light hug: "How can you be so good!"
Mu Liangchao shivered and turned his head away speechlessly.
Xiao Le smelled the sunshine on him and shook her head on his shoulder: "I'm not a good kid."
Fu Guang tightened his hug, his tone hard: "Bullshit! My little madman is the best behaved!"
Xiao Le's heart was inexplicably touched.
She thought that perhaps the sun was too hot.
Didi
The task panel pops up.
[Received a compliment from teammate "Fuguang"!]
"To me, you are the most well-behaved child."
Xiao Le was stunned for a moment.
Is this considered just once?
The most well-behaved?
Xiao Le looked down at the knife held across his body: ...What exactly did he do right?
Fu Guang got up and called to the others to prepare to leave.
Huanbo sidled up to her and whispered aggrievedly, "Lele, he wouldn't let me stand up for you, and I also think you did nothing wrong."
Xiao Le saw his introduction.
[Huanbo: A snake demon who transformed into human form. During the transformation, he received help from Xiaole and signed a contract with Xiaole.]
