"Zero, after being in seclusion for so long, have you mastered the power of the Book of Enlightenment?" In space, the fleet had returned, leaving only Xu Mo, Zero, and Nidhogg.
Zero had returned to her normal self, appearing like an ordinary girl, quiet and harmless. She smiled at Xu Mo, and for some reason, seeing Zero's smile sent a chill down Xu Mo's spine.
"A little." Zero said softly, "Want to try?"
"Hiss..."
A little, huh. Ha.
Zero had changed.
"No, I don't hit my girlfriend," Xu Mo declared righteously.
"You can hit me," Zero replied. When she was in seclusion, she heard that Xu Mo and Vera O'Brien were quite familiar, often cultivating together. She wondered how far things had developed between them now.
"I'm not that kind of person," Xu Mo firmly refused. Indeed, Zero had changed, even wanting to trap him.
Zero wasn't like this before; she was usually the one tricked by him.
"Didn't you enjoy sparring with Senior Sister Vera?" Zero said with a mischievous smile.
