Guilt

Xuefeng gave everyone a cheering kiss and grasped Ling's waist as they flew away from the training grounds. She refused to return to her world and instead hugged into his body shamelessly. He would never say no to her softness so he let her cuddle into his arms as she wished.

Though, Ling's goal was different from his thoughts. Just as they distanced themselves from the girls' sights, Ling hid into Xuefeng's neck mid-air and apologized with guilt, "I'm sorry... I am not a good Spirit…"

"What are you talking about?" Xuefeng was totally dumbfounded, not understanding her sudden change. "Did something happen?"

"Because of me, you are lagging behind everyone… I should have been the one to correct your path long time ago yet I failed to notice anything... I'm so useless…" Ling muttered ashamed, squeezing his neck in regret. "I want you to be the very best. Like no one ever was."
