"Dear brother, I've protected you for so long now. Don't you think it's about time you showed some manliness?" she whispered sweetly again. But Xiao Qiang merely sneered coldly and said, "Protected me? Hmph, Qingnu, there's no need to sugarcoat it. If I'm not mistaken, you intended to redirect the disaster towards me, but didn't expect that ancient giant crocodile to unleash such an indiscriminate attack, leaving you no choice but to avoid it." Xiao Qiang sneered. Even though they had only clashed twice, he knew Qingnu too well. She was absolutely a woman with a heart of a snake or scorpion, so it was impossible for her to help him. Since she wouldn't help him, she could only harm him, though she didn't anticipate this twist.
