"Crying?" Seeing the unfamiliar girl's tear-streaked face, Chen Xi sneered. "Crying won't help."
At her words, the unfamiliar girl staggered backward, only to find she had nowhere left to retreat.
Her eyes were already watering from the pain, and now tears streamed down her cheeks.
Seeing her like this, Chen Xi temporarily lowered her guard.
It wasn't that Chen Xi was softhearted. The other girl was simply too weak.
A peak Second Rank Transcendent would have been a formidable enemy who demanded serious attention three or four Regressions ago.
But to Chen Xi now, she was nothing more than a small fry who could be dealt with in the blink of an eye.
Lin Yue studied the girl's expression again, then released the shadow tentacles.
Freed from the chains, the unfamiliar girl finally managed to catch her breath.
"You were hiding in a hotel room. What were you planning to do?" Lin Yue walked slowly over to her, deliberately putting pressure on her.
Only after instinctively questioning her did Lin Yue realize the other girl couldn't understand the language of the Spark Federation.
Just as the two of them were about to step aside and let Gu Yu interrogate her, the unfamiliar girl timidly answered Lin Yue's question.
"I was just curious..."
After confirming that she'd heard the girl correctly, Chen Xi looked astonished. "Huh? I can understand her now?"
Lin Yue checked in her mind that she hadn't misheard, then slowly spoke. "Me too."
Hearing that familiar tone, Gu Yu didn't wait for the two of them to ask about the sudden ability to understand each other. Her gaze had already slipped through the gap between them and landed on the figure behind them.
The blue-haired girl studied the other girl's face, her tone uncertain. "Wait, are you Cecilia?"
