Find a Troubled Girl after leaving the Guild

Meluna’s actions startled everyone.

Such a posture really didn’t fit the impression of her strength that everyone had from Li Ang’s description before, which painted an image of a capricious and reckless female swordsman.

Upon actually meeting her, it was clear that she wasn’t like the wicked young lady from the stories; rather, she was naive, straightforward, and like a child who had no concept of many things.

Although Li Ang’s emotional outburst felt quite normal to outsiders, inciting righteous indignation from his four other girlfriends, when Meluna’s sorrow surfaced, one could genuinely feel the impact it had on her, evoking sympathy.

The young girls who had originally gathered around Li Ang were now looking at Meluna, whose face was full of tears, and they secretly glanced at Li Ang.

Li Ang furrowed his brows, deep in thought.

"I’m sorry, I left because I really wanted to regain my power to better help you..."

At this moment, her appearance was far from charming or poised; she resembled a clueless child.

Dorothy quietly approached Farina: "Sister Farina, so what is her relationship with Meimei?"

The Dragon Witch crossed her arms and sighed lightly, "I can’t say for sure, anyway, there’s no obvious blood relation. But that’s not the issue here."

"I never expected it to be like this. Originally, I thought the worst outcome would just be one more person on the ship, since there are already so many," Dorothy said with a hint of annoyance.

Previously, Li Ang and Zoe were all lovey-dovey, and she didn’t have a chance to do anything; thereafter, he disappeared together with that bull and wolf. Although everything seemed normal, something felt off.

Since dealing with matters related to the ex-girlfriend on this island, she had been pondering the outcome. At most, she thought there would be just another person on the ship since she also felt that Li Ang was initially struggling with managing multiple relationships, and now it seemed he was nearly giving up.

However, this ex-girlfriend didn’t want them around, which irritated Dorothy. Still, seeing how formidable she was, she didn’t dare say much, only muttering softly.

But perhaps, because she also cared for the same person, witnessing her sorrowful expression stirred her heart.

"How about sitting down and talking things over?"

She whispered gently beside Li Ang.

The implication was clearly not to push people away so heartlessly; take it slowly and steadily.

"... Li Ang, before meeting you, I thought others were unnecessary. I defeated all my enemies alone; it was you who showed me the advantages of relying on others. I’m sorry, I’m not good with words, I only realized it later."

Li Ang wanted to break away, but Meluna clung tightly to his sleeve with one hand and pressed her face against his leg with the other.

"Don’t leave me, okay? What do you want me to do for you to agree? Whoever you want to fight, I’ll take them on."

Meluna pressed her face tightly against Li Ang’s leg, wiping tears and snot. When she lifted her face again, it was a messy sight.

Li Ang sighed and conjured a ball of clean water, using his sleeve to gently wipe her face.

The girl with black hair slightly lifted her face, her slender neck cooperating with his force, and her originally panicked expression diminished greatly.

This interaction brought her a sense of security, evidently indicating that he had done this for her many times in the past.

The girls of the Star Flower Travel Corps displayed complex emotions, each lost in thought.

Farina tidied her fiery red hair, seemingly surprised by the situation as well. In her impression, although Li Ang was not someone in need of care, he never actively took care of others.

Encountering Meluna changed him significantly, perhaps that’s why he was so hurt.

"Stop making a fuss."

Li Ang pulled Meluna up from the mud, astounded by her appearance.

"Have you agreed?"

"Agreed to what?"

"To live together again."

"That’s impossible now."

Upon hearing this, Meluna immediately pulled him to the side as if dragging him off, while Li Ang’s companions quickly called out to hold him on the other side.

The female swordsman’s strength was surprisingly great, and only after ALulu joined in did the two sides achieve a balance.

"Let go, let go! You’re going to tear me apart!"

Li Ang had to use the Armor of Wind to blow them apart, panting while pointing at Meluna but momentarily unable to speak.

The previous words were quite clear, yet now it seemed that he couldn’t shake her off.

"That house has been vacated, the furniture dealt with, and I’ve established a new Sky Cavalry with new goals. There’s no way I’ll return to the old ways."

Meluna listened quietly, and this time her reaction wasn’t intense. The Dragon Witch beside her looked relieved since Li Ang wasn’t directly denying the female swordsman, avoiding further provocation.

"We can form our own team," the girl with black hair glanced faintly at Li Ang’s companions, "These weaklings will only drag you down."

"What did you say?!" Zoe immediately shouted angrily.

Dorothy rubbed her eyebrows helplessly: "Isn’t this too unreasonable? I even considered you a little..."

Andasu clenched her fists: "If only I were stronger..."

ALulu didn’t speak, but her horns were pointed at Meluna.

"Oh? I didn’t expect such a scene after the battle stopped?"

The atmosphere turned tense once more, Li Ang rubbed his temples, about to speak, when an unfamiliar crisp and soft voice suddenly rang out. Everyone turned around, spotting a petite, beautiful young girl.
