Chapter 214: Poor Ling Xue making Chloe annoyed?
The only conclusion Chloe could get to, which had caused such a change in Ling Xue, could be her getting a new skill after meeting certain conditions, which involved very complex things that no one knew. Unlike naming a skill to create a new skill, getting a new skill after meeting certain conditions was very rare.
And how she was less scared now made her think it must be a skill that made her mental resilience stronger, which could be called a top-tier skill for her. Finding a skill like this that could make a person's mind stronger was very hard, and even Chloe would be jealous.
However, the feeling of danger that her trained instincts were giving her couldn't be wrong, and she hadn't felt anything like this from her before. It had appeared just now, which meant the skill Ling Xue had gotten just now was likely the reason for it.
This made Chloe come to the conclusion that the skill Ling Xue had gotten just now had increased her strength in one way or another. She remembered Ling Xue not getting anything overpowered like this in her previous life.
Jealousy would be an understatement to call what she was feeling, as currently, she was feeling very strange knowing this skill Ling Xue had gotten would likely become her trump card in the future.
'Am I the cause of this?'
Knowing Ling Xue had not gotten anything like this in the previous timeline, and more importantly, not two days after the world evolution, Chloe realized that this would likely give her a big advantage and could even change some future events.
She was jealous, but she knew she couldn't do anything. However, thinking about how she was going to leave tomorrow, this was better for her as this skill would likely help her in her time of need.
"Hmph!"
In the end, she ignored it, only huffing to show her jealousy, as this skill definitely made her jealous. However, deep down, she was also happy for her, knowing she would have something to keep her safe, as the most dangerous time could be the start of evolution, where talent had also fallen from what she knew as they didn't have much time to grow right now.
A hint of annoyance could be seen on her face. At the same time, there was also a small smile that couldn't be hidden from her cute face as the conflicting emotions of jealousy and feeling good for her ran through her mind.
Ling Xue, who was much more composed right now, seeing the hint of annoyance and smile that she had mistaken for enjoying her suffering, was freaking out inside even more. However, from the outside, she was controlling her emotions quite well like before, as only a little fear was shown on her face.
Still, her determination to survive was as strong as ever. Whatever happened, she was going to survive this, and if the worst came to the worst, she would fight with everything she had to survive.
'There is no way I am going to die just yet!'
The determination in her eyes had increased even more as the seconds passed, as the feeling of fear was now slowly getting lesser and lesser with each passing second.
Chloe, observing the change in her body language, was getting impressed and jealous with each passing second, as it looked like she had underestimated the skill she had just gotten. She would have liked to know the name of the skill from her, but for now, she focused on the more important thing, which was to calm her down and reassure her.
Seeing the shaking of her hand, which she was trying to control, made her feel bad for her. But the thought of apologizing to her had completely left her mind. She would have apologized to her tens of times if she had gotten the overpowered skill like her in return. However, for now, she was only jealous, and she was even hoping to get a thank you from her.
However, she knew that was not possible, as Ling Xue didn't know what had happened to her today and had changed her future to some degree. Whether big or small, Chloe didn't know, but one thing was certain: even if she was her previous self, if she had known what she had done, she would have been praising her all day.
"Hmph."
She humped once, as her intention was to teach her a lesson only, but things had gotten complicated, which made her feel guilty for terrifying the poor Ling Xue, whom she didn't have much against, other than her tricking her and kicking her out of the group after she refused to follow her command, which seemed reasonable to her.
In the end, she was grateful for making her more mature and a little upset with her for tricking her, and she seemed like she wanted to get even with her. Otherwise, she was cool with her.
But unintentionally making her even stronger than before in the process of getting even with her really annoyed her. However, she knew what Ling Xue had experienced was not something she would like to face in her state.
The trauma she had caused her was real, which was why she would call it even with her. However, her jealousy was still there, which she couldn't ignore, knowing a few things that her skill had done, even if Ling Xue hadn't realized them.
So now she was going to make things clear with her. After finally reaching in front, she was hoping to have eye-to-eye contact. However, staring at her boobs, larger than hers, in front of her was making her even more annoyed. She was even having thoughts of bullying her a little bit now.
'Should I just bully her a little?'
But then she remembered her face before when she was breaking down and didn't even stop the tears from falling down her face. Seeing her red eyes by moving her neck upward was a clear reminder of her previous state. She decided to go easy on her.
She knew getting an opportunity like this to bully her would be hard to come by in the future, but with Chloe's personality, bullying her right now wasn't going to feel better. Instead, it would have the opposite effect. So, in the end, she threw away these mischievous thoughts that had appeared in her mind.
