290: Let’s Go Help Her

Let’s Go Help Her

The restaurant fell silent; they gazed at Lulu and Xixi. Nobody decided to help them, for they didn't know who the couple were; besides, many could tell their enemies were vicious and strong.2

However, they didn't worry too much that they would kill all the people here. With the two powerful magic casters being Amy's masters, nobody dared do that, not even the Gray Temple.

Mag was furious. They must be out of their minds, threatening my customers like that! He asked the system, "How much for a Barrett M82A1?"

"You can't afford it."

"Loan me some money!"

"No. Oh, by the way, your Elephant Check Later can pay up to 100 gold coins for you, but still, you can't afford it."

The system must have priced it very high, Mag thought. It knew a gun like that would change this world dramatically.

Where is Urien? What did the couple do to infuriate them that much? Maybe it has something to do with the massacre of the dryads. Mag didn't know if Urien had noticed what was happening here, so he decided to stand behind Sally. He knew Sally was a 7th-tier magic caster. He found Yabemiya a little silly, but he was touched by her altruistic behavior.

Xixi frowned and clenched her fist when she remembered what had happened 20 years ago. They had stayed in that village for only one night, but their enemies had slaughtered the whole village, sparing none—including babies.

They lived in the woods for three years afterwards, trying not to get anyone killed because of them.

But now, it seemed the brutal tragedy would happen all over again. They're ruthless killers. They will kill them! Xixi thought.

"Don't worry. I won't let it happen again," Lulu said, holding her hand tightly.

Amy stood up on the chair, put Ugly Duckling on one of Mag's shoulders, and stuck her head out from behind his other shoulder. "Sister Xixi, those bad people are looking for you?" She didn't look worried at all.

"Meow!" the kitten cried, scared of being up so high, struggling to keep itself from falling down.

Lulu's grip gave her comfort and strength. She turned to look at Amy and nodded. "Yes. It's time to say goodbye, Amy. I'll miss you."

"Why? Don't go, Sister Xixi. You should stay here and come eat Father's food every day." Then she looked at the door. "I can help you take them out."

Xixi gave a woeful smile. It was hard for them to leave now that they had found a way to resurrect the World Tree, but they didn't want anything to happen to the people here.

Lulu stroked her hair. "Let's go." Suddenly, he turned into a black bear about three meters tall. He ran towards the door, busted it down, rushed out, jumped up high, and brought his iron-hard paw down on Anselm's head.

"Goodbye, Amy," Xixi said, and turned into a white cat. Green lights arose from her feet. She followed the bear out, nimble and fast.

The green band was still linking them together. Meanwhile, the customers were left dumbfounded.

I have to buy a new door, again, Mag thought. "Do you have spare doors in stock, system?"

"Of course."

"You sound like you already knew the door would break again."

Amy's eyes widened. She threw her arms around Mag's neck. "Big Bear is really a bear, and Sister Xixi is a beautiful cat. But why does she look like Ugly Duckling? Oh, we should help them, Father! Hurry!"

"No. It's too dangerous." Mag untangled her hands from around his neck and turned around. "Remember, Amy, you can help others, but on the condition that you don't get hurt. I don't want to see you put yourself in danger."

Amy looked at the door, her eyes blue and clear. "But I like her. Aren't we supposed to protect the ones we like?"

Mag fell silent for a moment. Then he smiled. "You're right. Let's go help her." He picked her up and walked to the door with his kitchen knife. If a man doesn't want to protect the one he loves, then he doesn't love her.
