Why Do You Trust Her So Much?

For a moment, they almost overlooked Xi, who was being carried by Maria and was clearly unconscious...

"Huh? You really did it?"

Ling didn't seem to have many thoughts about what had happened to his siblings.

In her view, since she was already there, she might as well make the best of it.

On the contrary, it Maria...

They actually brought Xi out, which surprised her even more.

And... judging from Maria's appearance...

She seemed quite relaxed?

"Um."

Maria nodded, then placed the frowning, unconscious Xi aside. She dusted herself off, her calm eyes showing not a trace of emotion.

Xi's abilities are indeed impressive, but she's still too young to face an opponent of Maria's caliber.

After several fierce exchanges, she couldn't even manage to injure Maria!

"That's amazing..."

He pinched Xi's cheek to confirm that this was indeed his youngest sister's portrait, not one she had created. Ling blinked and sighed.

Although she could sense Maria's power from her aura, she never expected that she could actually do that.

It's pretty good, isn't it?

"This..."

At the scene, the most surprised person was not actually the Sui Family members, but rather Zuo Xing, who Zuo Xing the side.

He stared at Maria, his eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.

Are you really human?!

He single-handedly took down the Beast Fragments —not only did he manage it, but he did it without taking any damage?!

And who are you, my subordinate?!

"Um?"

In a daze, a small memory resurfaced in Zuo Xing's mind.

He increasingly felt that he must have seen Maria somewhere... or something related to Maria.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't recall where he had seen the figure in front of him before.

The more I think about it, the more my head aches.

Meanwhile, the Sui Family members, after discussing for a while, also quietly made a decision.

Shu was helpless, Ji was quiet, while Ling had a mischievous grin on his face and pulled out a red firecracker that had been placed in his pocket at some unknown time.

Place it quietly on the ground not far from Xi and light it.

Then...

"Smack!"

"Waaaaah!"

Xi was suddenly startled awake and got up with a strange cry.

But because he was sitting in the chair, he leaned back and fell backward...

Chapter 327 Why do you trust her so much?

"Ughhhh!"

The startled girl leaned back and almost fell to the ground.

The other companions were also clearly surprised that Xi was so timid, and they hurriedly reached out to try to lift her up.

However, before they could make a move, Maria had already appeared behind the timid Xi.

Reach out your hand.

He supported the other person's back...

The air fell silent for a moment.

"Huh?!"

The expected pain did not come, and Xi cautiously squinted her eyes, seemingly somewhat confused about the situation.

But when she saw her worried family members in front of her, she was taken aback.

Since my elder sister, Sister Shu, and Ji are all in front of me.

That held him back...

Hesitantly raising her head, Xi looked behind her.

It was Maria with her cold face.

"Miss Xi, are you alright?"

Maria's tone was so calm.

But Xi's expression simply stiffened.

His body, which had been brutally beaten earlier, began to ache again.

To be fair, Maria was actually quite restrained when she took action.

But she didn't expect that Xi's physical condition was completely inferior to Sui's, even dozens of times worse, only slightly better than the average person.

Maria's slightest move was enough to make her opponent feel pain and retreat.

This resulted in Xi having a somewhat negative impression of Maria.

After quickly adjusting her position, the girl angrily turned her head away.

She didn't want to talk to Maria!

"Call..."

Seeing that Xi was alright, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then Shu looked at Ling with a reproach.

She only agreed to the other party's plan after Ling repeatedly assured her that Xi would not get hurt.

How did it become like this?!

"Well... I don't know either. I just heard from Nian that it's effective."

Ling realized he might have gone a bit too far, so he quickly waved his hand and deflected the question.

It's not my problem, it's the year!

That year, they said there was no problem, so I did it.

"Year..."

Upon hearing her sister's name, Shu's expression became very subtle.

However, this delicate situation did not last long.

Maria's voice slowly began to emerge.

"So, what are your plans for the next step?"

Hearing Maria's words, everyone came to their senses.

Indeed, other matters can be put aside for now; solving the food problem in the Great Wilderness Famine is the most urgent task at present.

Immediately, Ling's expression changed completely.

"Xi, hold your temper for later. We need to ask you something right now..."

"I... I don't have a temper!"

Xi gritted her teeth and spoke indignantly.

But Ling simply waved his hand.

Although she didn't speak, her subtle gaze left Xi speechless.

Unable to contain her anger, she could only turn away and sulk alone.

Maria didn't indulge the girl; she simply walked silently to her.

"..."

"..."

The two people stared at each other.

Maria didn't know how to start a conversation or persuade the other person to be more obedient.

But Xi clearly misunderstood something, and subconsciously reached out to cover her head.

This guy... he really went all out!

They showed absolutely no mercy.

She didn't want to get beaten up again!

Looking miserable, Xi turned her head and looked at the crowd around her.

"You've come to me to resolve the problem of those strange forces in Great Wilderness City, haven't you?"

Although Xi is withdrawn, she is not completely detached from outside information.

In fact, from the moment she arrived here, Xi sensed the unusual situation in the Great Wilderness City.

With her quick wit, she immediately guessed why the other family members had called her over.

In fact, she had tried it before.

Yes, can you do it?

Seeing that Xi was willing to cooperate, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that things were finally making progress.

But Xi simply shook her head.

"I tried it on my way here."

"And what was the result?"

"I can't do it."

Xi spoke calmly, but the result she uttered caused everyone present to change their expressions.

Can't even handle Lianxi?

"I can't take over the entire Great Wilderness City..."

"So, you can do part of it?"

Shu, who was standing nearby, quickly understood what Xi meant, and his expression changed from worry to joy.

It's not difficult to change the entire problem of Great Wilderness City all at once.

If we can change things step by step, there's still a chance!

"Theoretically speaking... that's correct."

Faced with the excited Shu, Xi turned her head away, seemingly unable to face her family.

"What's wrong?"

Everyone immediately realized that Xi must have left something unsaid, and they tilted their heads in confusion, exchanged glances, and continued to ask.

After gritting her teeth, Xi turned her head slightly away.

"Because it's useless..."

"It didn't work?"

Shu was getting a little anxious.
