Immediate benefits are not always good

Ling Long's big black eyes were full of sadness and pain as she looked at her small claws. Then, Ling Long seemed to feel Xie Feng's gaze so she also looked up. However, when their gazes met, the little dragon quickly averted her gaze away as if she was embarrassed and had no face to look at him.

Seeing this, Xie Feng could not help but smile bitterly. 

Ling Long clearly saw how he easily defeated the Thorny Toad with a single attack while, on the other hand, her own attacks did not even manage to hurt the little monster. 

The problem was, Ling Long did not know that the only reason why Xie Feng was able to defeat the Thorny Toad with a single attack was that he was simply lucky, very lucky. Not to mention killing the Thorny Toad with a single strike, the only reason Xie Feng managed to get close to the monster without any trouble was only thanks to that Ling Long was distracting it; otherwise, Xie Feng would have had to suffer a bit more.
