Whoa! It's Melancholy Sunken Phrolova!

"Yaya, you're amazing!"

After capturing Dania's moment of crossing the finish line, Sigrika immediately ran to Dania's side, who was catching her breath, her sparkling eyes filled with joy at her best friend's impressive victory.

"Sister Nia, why didn't you tell us you were participating in the competition?" Lynae leaned over and poked Dania's apple-like cheek, feigning displeasure.

"I wanted to surprise you all," Dania replied, gently pulling Lynae's fingers away.

That was quite a surprise.

Xiao Ling walked over with Aemeath and the Rover, and took out a tissue from his bag and handed it to Dania so she could wipe the sweat from her cheeks.

"Are you tired?" Xiao Ling asked with concern.

"Thankfully, the previous training worked." Dania crumpled up the used tissue and stuffed it back into Xiao Ling's hand.

Xiao Ling stared blankly at the crumpled paper that Dania had stuffed into his hand for a moment before casually tossing it into his pants pocket.

"Xiao Ya! You were awesome! You looked so cool when you crossed the finish line!"

A sudden weight landed on Dania. She turned her head and saw that Lupa had rushed over and wrapped his arms around her neck, nuzzling her face.

"Let go, Lupa, it's so hot..." Dania gently patted the arm that was wrapped around her neck.

"Haha, sorry, sorry, I got excited and that's how it happened." Lupa immediately let go of her hand, scratching her head and apologizing sheepishly.

"It's nothing." Dania smiled and shook her head.

On the highest step of the stands, a pair of heterochromatic eyes were fixed on Dania and her group on the track and field.

As her gaze shifted between Dania, surrounded by her companions, and Xiao Ling and the Rover, who were watching them with smiles, she couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

"... I never knew you could look so beautiful when you smile." The owner of those eyes murmured, his expression a mixture of relief and envy.

She glanced at the gift box in her hand. It wasn't very pretty; in fact, it was rather simple and rough. The only creative thing about it was that a red spider lily was tied in the middle of the box with a red ribbon.

After pausing briefly in the audience, she left silently without leaving a trace, as if she had never been there.

The Rover was watching Aemeath playfully fighting with a smile in his eyes when suddenly, as if he had noticed something, his sharp, piercing gaze instantly flew towards the high seats in the audience, but there was no one there.

Although most of their powers are unusable, the Rover's ability to track frequencies can still be useful here.

Using this ability, she quickly discovered that someone was watching them from the audience, but when she looked back at the audience, the person had already disappeared.

For the safety of others, the Rover didn't hesitate for long and immediately made a decision: give chase!

I'm going to the restroom, I'll be right back.

After a brief exchange between the Rover and Xiao Ling and Aemeath, they immediately activated frequency tracking and followed the direction in which the person who had been monitoring them from the stands had left.

As Xiao Ling watched the Rover hurry away, he immediately realized that the other party must have discovered something.

"Aemeath, I'm going to the restroom too. You stay here with everyone."

"Hmm?" Aemeath asked in confusion, "Why is A-Yu going too?"

"Uh... I couldn't hold it in anymore..."

"Oh~ I get it, I get it, everyone has to go to the bathroom sometimes~" Aemeath looked at him with a meaningful smile.

Xiao Ling resisted the urge to tap the demon pill, and after a brief farewell to the girls present, hurriedly followed the Rover's footsteps.

"We've finally met... or is it just a case of 'enemies meeting on a narrow road'?"

At this moment, the owner of those dark, bloodshot eyes looked at the imposing Rover holding a sharp sword before him, his melancholy voice carrying a barely perceptible sorrow.

She had intended to leave quietly when no one was paying attention, but the Rover chased after her like a bloodhound, and after a series of leaps and bounds, he blocked her way.

"Phrolova, the supervisor of the Fractsidus." The Rover's delicate brows furrowed, his expression filled with undisguised hostility towards the girl before him. "I'm warning you, this isn't Solaris, you can't act recklessly here!"

"Heh, if I really wanted to do something right now, could you really stop me with your current strength?" Phrolova asked casually.

Seeing this, the Rover stopped talking, slightly bent his knees to gather strength, and then charged at Phrolova, intending to subdue him first.

Of course, Phrolova wasn't one to sit idly by and wait to be defeated; he summoned his violin and prepared to fight.

Just as the atmosphere became tense, a bottle of beverage flew straight toward the Rover's head.

Perhaps because Hajipiao's attention was focused on Phrolova in front of her, she didn't notice the beverage bottle flying straight towards her.

With a thud, the beverage bottle hit the bullseye, and the pained Rover fell flat on his face with a thud, his sword turning into specks of light and disappearing as soon as it left his hand.

Phrolova also put away his violin and looked at the person who had suddenly made a move.

Xiao Ling silently walked to the fallen Rover, picked up the bottle of chilled drink, patted the dirt off it, and then turned to look at Phrolova's current attire.

She wore a beret, a leather jacket, a red top underneath, a white leather mini skirt, a black leg band on her right leg, white socks, black Mary Jane shoes, and black sunglasses.

Her eyes were also quite distinctive; her left eye was a blood-red color, like the color of a spider lily, while her right eye looked like a few drops of blood had seeped into a cloudy white iris.

In this situation, Xiao Ling could only utter one sentence:

"If you soak in water for too long, you won't even be able to tell if you're hot or not?"

(Hajiling iFTV just spouts it off.)

He genuinely felt that Phrolova's outfit alone was enough to make him sweat profusely, yet she didn't react at all, not even breaking a sweat?

Phrolova looked at this sudden troublemaker and felt lost for the first time in his life.

Is this... right? Is this how the plot should be going? Shouldn't he be fighting against himself alongside the Rover? Why is there a friendly fire element?

That was bad enough, but the Rover in front of her was also knocked down by an ordinary beverage bottle without any warning, which made her even more confused.

"Xiao Ling! You actually helped the enemy!" The Rover scrambled to his feet, clutching his head, glaring at Xiao Ling with hatred and gritting his teeth. "Are you so indiscriminate? Does your moral compass follow your looks?"

"Then I'd like to ask how you got hit by my drink bottle?" Xiao Ling said speechlessly.

He was already prepared to lose a drink, but the Rover didn't even realize what was happening before being shot in the head.

"Who knew you'd activated Friend Injury!" the Rover exclaimed angrily.

"Then I can only say, Sister Piao, you really are a nobody~" Xiao Ling teased her cheekily.

"I think you need a good beating, I'll give you a good thrashing!"

Then Xiao Ling and the Rover began a mysterious infighting, punching and kicking each other... well, not really each other, but Xiao Ling was the only one taking the beating.

After witnessing the entire process, why did Phrolova suddenly feel so disillusioned with life?
