Chapter 218: Ling Xue making up her mind? (2)
Thankfully for Chloe, due to him having ill intentions toward her for some reason in this life, she could guess after seeing her status in the group that he would have likely thought of controlling her, unlike in the previous life where she was always below Ling Xue due to her getting more resources than her. She was also not much of a social person and not someone who liked to brag, which had kept her off his target list, she supposed.
Or it could also have been possible that in her previous life, he had tried to control her with his sinister magic. However, she was not aware of it, and thankfully his magic wouldn't have worked on her. Otherwise, he would have been too overpowered if it worked on everyone, as he wouldn't have had to struggle so much and would have likely directly targeted Ling Xue to reach his goal.
Luckily, there were some conditions that had to be met to control others. She would have liked to know them and study his talent; however, knowing what type of person Mark was, she was not going to give him any chance and, whatever happened, was going to deal with him tonight.
Even if it might have looked like she was a dictator who was doing what she wanted and harming an innocent, she didn't care what others thought of her. Doing this in front of Ling Xue was making her a little conscious as she cared what Ling Xue would think of her. While she might not have said it outwardly, she thought of Ling Xue as a friend, even after everything that happened between them.
Other than Ling Xue, she didn't mind anyone else as she wasn't close with anyone else besides her in her previous lifetime. Still, she hoped someday Ling Xue would understand why she had done this, but for now, she was not going to explain anything.
Explaining to her about this meant telling her all about her transmigration, which was not something she was going to share with anyone else. While she considered Ling Xue her friend, those opportunities that came with her knowledge were only hers to take.
At heart, she was a cultivator who liked to live an endless life while being powerful enough that no one could bother her. She didn't mind helping Ling Xue sometimes, but sharing her secret was a no-go.
She would help her in times of need, as a big sister was supposed to keep her little sister safe, but her secrets were hers to keep when it was something so big.
She started patting her head once again while looking at her face, which seemed to have just made a resolute expression as if she had made up her mind.
Ling Xue had made up her mind that she was going to accept her proposal. Even if it seemed to her that it was too good to be true, knowing there were no other options left, she was going to bite this bullet as the thought of rejecting didn't even enter her mind.
While she felt a little weird after hearing how she had changed how to address her as now she had to address her as Big Sister Chloe for the rest of her life. She knew after promising her, she was going to call her Big Sis for the rest of her life if it was not a trap.
She didn't care what she had to call her. Even if she had asked her to call her "Her Highness," she wouldn't have cared, as what mattered most to her right now was surviving this messed-up situation she had gotten into. She didn't care how weird it would feel for her to call a little girl her big sister; nothing mattered to her right now.
After making up her mind, a resolute expression appeared on her face as she looked at Chloe's eyes with her resolute blue eyes to show her determination. However, suddenly she felt the pat on her head once again. The light, gentle pat on her head, even in this situation, was making her feel relaxed after making up her mind.
She looked at Chloe's cute face, which didn't show any malice toward her while patting her. For some reason, she didn't know, but she was not going to stop her, and she even started to feel good receiving her pats.
Not wasting any more time thinking, that if she let her wait any longer, she would be upset. She answered her in one breath while looking into her eyes, praying inside her heart that everything went well. Her heart was beating loudly, and even her hands had started shaking a little bit.
However, the pat on her head, which she had experienced only for the second time in her life by the same person, the little pink-haired girl.
At first, she didn't quite know how to feel when she patted her head.
However, this time, even while knowing that the girl in front of her was the reason she was so scared right now, for some reason, her gentle pats on her head were making her feel relaxed as if it felt to her that she really had a big sister who cared about her.
'Big Sister!'
The shaking of her hands was lesser than before, and even the beating of her heart was lesser than before. She didn't know if the person in front of her was a friend or a foe.
She was confused and didn't understand what was happening now. Never in her life had she experienced someone like her, and now her heart was telling her that she should just accept her proposal without much thought.
She had always thought with her mind after making every decision.
However, she was going to trust her heart and hope everything went well, even when her mind was telling her everything was a trap laid by the sweet and innocent Chloe in front of her who was playing with her.
Trusting her heart, she said to her with a little shakiness in her voice.
