Chapter 213: Poor Ling Xue? (3)
Chloe had not expected her to act like this. Seeing her bursting into tears right after she had wiped her tears was making her feel guilty now, which was why she had decided to be an adult and apologize to her to calm this situation down as quickly as possible.
'Hmph! Such a crybaby!'
She couldn't even think of what her reaction would have been if she had experienced the same bloodlust when she was as strong as Ling Xue, which was practically not much different other than having magical abilities.
But it didn't mean how terrified Ling Xue must have been of her right now, which was why she handled this as carefully as possible, and she felt thankful that Ling Xue was a strong-minded person; otherwise, it could have been even worse.
She started to slowly reach closer to her with light, which caused Ling Xue to back out a little in fear. As of right now, the cute Chloe looked like a devil to her who was ready to take her life from everything she was feeling, and seeing her coming closer had made her naturally back out a little.
Chloe, seeing her backing away in fear, now felt even more guilty knowing how much she had terrified her. It would have been funny for her if she had the chance to record this and show it to the version of Ling Xue in her previous world; it would have been hilarious.
However, for now, she didn't find it that funny. Still, the terrified expression on her face was a sight to behold as she had never seen her like this before.
She took a small step closer to reach in front of her. However, Ling Xue took the same amount of distance backward in fear, resulting in her making no progress as sobbing was still present on her beautiful face as she moved back.
Chloe had had enough. If this went on, she wouldn't be able to reach closer to her, so she said in a calm voice with a bit of softness present as the little bit of fun she had in the first few seconds was gone, and now she only pitied the poor Ling Xue.
"Stop moving back, Ling Xue."
Being terrified of her, she didn't even notice the softness in her voice as her words sounded to her like she was giving her an order just like before. She knew she had messed up before as she was still crying when Miss Chloe had clearly indicated that she didn't want her to see her cry.
She tried. She tried many times. However, she couldn't stop crying, and her backing away in fear was not going to do her any good. She thought of begging her to spare her life. However, if things went on like this and she acted as she was right now, she didn't think she would survive.
'NO! I can't die just yet.'
While she had thought she would beg the little devil to spare her life, deep down, she knew after experiencing the will that seemed to see death and devour her whole, there wasn't much hope, but she still tried.
She tried, but she didn't want to die. She wanted to live. This was not where she would fall, and to do that, she would do everything in her power.
Her blue eyes, where not much hope could be seen earlier, were now reignited again with a new profound light, in which one thing could be seen clearly: her will to live and survive this day. To do that, she would do everything in her power.
A green screen appeared in front of her eyes, which she ignored as it went away right afterward. The deep-seated fear of death that was consuming her whole was slowly receding. She started to think properly.
That didn't mean there was no fear present in her heart, but now she could think and focus much better, even while being terrified of Chloe. The shaking in her body had stopped, and even the tears she wasn't able to stop earlier had now slowly started to stop. With one last time wiping the tears from her eyes, now only her beautiful face with red eyes and the marks of tears remained.
She had stopped backing away as she was now standing in one place. There was still fear visible on her face. However, her previous terrified expression was now gone, and even her body wasn't shaking. But there was still shaking in her hands, which she couldn't control, knowing the cute little girl in front of her could take her life at any moment.
While it was true that Chloe could take her life at any moment with her experience, Ling Xue had misunderstood her bloodlust for strength and the feeling of fear of death she had gotten from her. Otherwise, even while Chloe was much stronger than her due to her being reincarnated and having her previous experience, Ling Xue was also not bad herself. There wasn't much difference in terms of strength.
But one thing was true: she couldn't even touch Chloe as of right now with her skill, as she had no way of dealing with her space affinity right now. But in the future, things wouldn't be the same as she got more experience and knowledge about her affinity.
Chloe had witnessed the sudden change in Ling Xue's behavior after saying for her to stop backing away. She had thought she would stop. However, for a person who had the most experience regarding this magical world, she knew at this moment something had changed inside Ling Xue.
But she was perplexed by how she was behaving right now. There was still fear on her face. However, looking into her eyes, she knew that was not the face of someone who was giving up. For some reason, even she was feeling a little bit of danger from Ling Xue now, which made her very confused.
