Huai Xu crouched before Su Yu, holding her hand. His eyes, rimmed with red, gazed at her, but he said nothing, looking as if he might start dropping Little Pearls at any moment.
Lan Qi hung his head, his face a picture of dejection. "It's all because I'm too weak. If I were just a little stronger, Yu Yu wouldn't have had to struggle so much."
Xun Yu pressed his lips together and said in a low voice, "I'll go find high-level Exotic Beasts tomorrow. I'll bring back more high-quality Spirit Jades and keep getting stronger."
The cubs nodded as well, their little faces grave. It was as if the words "get stronger" were written across their chubby cheeks.
Su Yu looked from one to the next, suddenly breaking out in a nervous sweat. She quickly surrendered. "Okay, okay, I was wrong. I'll be more mindful of my limits from now on."
