Xiao Wu viciously wiped her face with her sleeve, rubbing her eyes and nose red, looking just like a rabbit that had suffered some terrible grievance.
She raised her head and timidly glanced at Lin Qing, her voice still carrying an unspent sob. "Th... thank you for saving me."
She still seemed somewhat afraid of Lin Qing. After all, there was such a powerful Titled Douluo standing here.
