Ling Yu's lips twitched faintly at the corner. She did not glance at the divine chatter; she already knew what they were doing. Squabbling over pawns they could not touch. It was amusing, in a way.
Fluffy sat up, ears twitching, and its squeaky voice rang through the system:
[Fluffy: HEAL! HEAL! HEAL!]
Ling Yu flicked its forehead lightly, earning a squeak. "Quiet. You'll distract him."
Fluffy flopped dramatically into her lap, rolling as if mortally wounded.
[Fluffy: ABUSE!! MASTER ABUSED ME!! … Okay, fine, I'll be quiet.]
As Xian Yu continued to cast, his face grew paler, but determination burned in his eyes. Each time he faltered, Ling Yu pressed another mana potion into his hands. The others whispered in the shadows, resentment dripping in every glance.
