If it had been anything else beside her, Catherine probably would have screamed in terror. But seeing Little Guardian, she actually felt a sense of relief.

Lin Ye stated it very bluntly.
"...Are you joking with me?"
Catherine's face stiffened into a forced smile.
"Of course not. I rarely joke with people I'm not familiar with."
