Upon hearing Palano lavish Murphy with compliments about his talents in a buttery tone and exaggerated language, Murphy's cheeks started to flush with embarrassment, and both his and Cui Si's expressions turned rather odd.
Cui Si hesitated to tell Palano the truth.
That Murphy had basically spent the majority of the past year slacking off and taking care of her, a vampire invalid who can barely fend for herself. His true growth only took place recently in just over twenty days...
Hiss!
Thinking about it that way, little Murphy's talents really were terrifying!
Perhaps guessing what Cui Si was thinking about, Murphy, his face expressionless, gave her shoulder a firm squeeze with the hand he'd placed there, bringing her back to reality.
Fine.
She decided not to say anything.
Especially about Murphy and his otherworldly warriors. That was a topic she couldn't even mention.
