Chapter 203: Dissatisfied Chloe?
Ling Xue hadn't even thought that Chloe would kill them because she was thinking like they were in their previous world, and she could never imagine this cute little girl trying to kill them for just trying to trick her, even when she was actually very clever and only putting up a facade.
Before Chloe could say anything, Ling Xue hurriedly said while keeping a calm expression, but inside, she was freaking out.
'Shit, I have shot myself in the foot by trying to take advantage of this little devil.'
She only hoped she would be able to resolve this peacefully.
"Chloe, now that I think, it would be good to just go as we had decided at first. It means you are getting your 60% of cores."
She put on an awkward smile and continued while trying to keep her calm.
"It would be best if we give the same amount of the cores to the people who worked for it. It would be more fair."
Chloe still felt annoyed by her attitude, how she thought that she would be the one to give her one share of cores.
And her sudden change of attitude didn't make her feel any better.
How could she just let her go like this? She had to give her a little lesson she would always remember.
"Ling Xue, why do you think like that now? Wouldn't it be better to just share like you said so it would be fair for everyone?"
The aura emitting from her little body was still the same while she was looking directly into Ling Xue's eyes as she asked her this.
Ling Xue realized that this cute little devil in front of her was mocking her, but she couldn't displease her anymore, knowing she didn't stand a chance against her. She still remembered those weird black-looking blades that could cut down many zombies in a single strike.
She didn't know what type of magic that was; however, she knew one thing clearly—that even if she tried her best to block her attack, she wouldn't be able to do anything against her.

There was nothing she could do, knowing this cute little devil was three to four times faster than her in casting spells, and even her close-range combat was stronger than hers.
She didn't want to fight her, and the only idea she had to get out of this situation was to give her some compensation. She hurriedly answered the little pink-haired girl.
"What are you saying, Chloe? How can it be called fair when you have earned it yourself? You have every right to take them—it's no one's but yours, and you can decide whatever you want to do with them."
Her face became a little red as she continued in a weak voice. She wouldn't accept her wrongdoing now, knowing things would get out of control, and she was also very annoyed by this. If she were stronger than this little devil, she would have just beaten her up—however, the odds were not in her favor. She could only resolve this situation as peacefully as possible.
'Fuck, if I were stronger, I wouldn't have to be so embarrassed.'
Her worst fear was that if this little devil, in anger, attacked with those weird spells, someone could even potentially die, which she didn't want to happen as she still hadn't checked the talent of the others. They were her potential members who could be useful to her.
"I-I'm sorry, Chloe. I tried to trick you earlier. Y-you can have twenty more cores from my share as compensation, and I-I won't e-ever try to trick you again."
'Arggh! Of course, I won't try, you little devil.'
Chloe's facade had even fooled her. She had thought she was only a cute little girl who had no friends. She had assumed using her would be the easiest of them all, and she wasn't wrong. However, for Ling Xue, her luck was bad, as Chloe was a transmigrator who had experienced many setbacks in her previous life because of her naivety, and in this life, she was not going to make the same mistake.
She was also the reason for making her too cautious about trusting people, so her fate was already doomed when she tried to trick her.
Ling Xue kept her head low after saying those words to her because of her embarrassment—she had never asked forgiveness from anyone in her life, and now saying those words to a pink-haired little girl felt very embarrassing to her, and she would make sure to pay her back for this.
'Just you wait, you little devil. Once I get more powerful than you, I will spank those little cheeks of yours until you beg me to stop.'
Chloe had never thought that Ling Xue would directly apologize to her. She had never seen her apologize to anyone before, but after thinking for a while, remembering how she would always be careful of those stronger than her and not offend them, she was sure that the only reason Ling Xue had decided to do this was because she was weaker than her.
Chloe wouldn't criticize her for acting like this as she was also the same. She would never try to even go closer to crazy strong people like Alicia and the Undead Queen in her life, while one of the reasons for that was because of how crazy they were in their previous life and the things they had done, which had terrified her.
Ling Xue could be very sane compared to them; however, Chloe didn't feel good knowing how easily the thing had been resolved. She didn't have much animosity with her other than taking advantage of her. She had treated her well, and they had even fought together many times, and she could surely trust Ling Xue to have her back.
She was confused now about what she should do as she was still not completely satisfied with how things had played out. Looking at her tall figure standing in front of her with blue hair, keeping her head down with a little blush on the side of her cheeks, Chloe felt like she was really sorry.
She even thought of just forgiving her; however, when she looked a little and saw her large melons mocking her like always, the thought of forgiving her completely vanished.
