Chen Xing saw that floating comment and couldn’t help but increase his strength.

“Hubby!?”

【I feel… my body is acting… strange…】

Gradually, the floating comments above Little Zero’s head began to change in tone…

Cough cough…

Then, unsurprisingly, Little Zero fainted again.

But since it was about time, Chen Xing carried the unconscious Little Zero and left Minghua City.

He arrived at the Spirit Artifact Continent.

As soon as he got to the 52nd floor, Chen Xing saw that the door to his house was open.

The door across the hall was also open.

He found it odd — did these people not sleep all night?

Were they really so close that they immediately hung out together after waking up?

From what he remembered, they weren’t that close!

“Hahaha~”

Su Su’s cheerful laughter echoed out, still teasing poor Lao Xue and Yun Xinghai.

Hearing this, Chen Xing walked directly toward Su Su’s room.

To his surprise, everyone was sitting at a dining table.

The table was full of various take-out dishes — and expensive ones at that.

Yun Xinghai and Xue Bufeng had bitter expressions as they buried their heads in their food.

Su Su was eating while laughing heartily.

She ate little, spending most of her time mocking Yun Xinghai and Xue Bufeng.

Miao Miao looked the happiest, thoroughly enjoying the free food.

“Meow~ Good morning, Master!”

Miao Miao was the first to notice Chen Xing.

Xue Bufeng and Yun Xinghai looked up at the same time, their faces lighting up with joy.

Chen Xing was finally here. Little Zero! Save us!

Take Su Su somewhere else! Please stop her from talking to us!

But no one spoke loudly, in case they disturbed Little Zero.

After spending a lot of time with Chen Xing and Little Zero, they naturally understood her habits.

She had three states around Chen Xing:

1. Blushing.
   
2. On the way to blushing.
   
3. Sleeping.
   

Su Su turned her head back, still smiling.

Seeing Chen Xing holding a still-groggy Little Zero, she teased:

“Ten o’clock already and she’s still asleep? You two must’ve stayed up late last night~”

She even raised her eyebrows at him.

Seeing her expression, Chen Xing knew right away Su Su had definitely tricked Little Zero on purpose.

He smiled lightly and suddenly gave her a thumbs-up!

Su Su: ???

Now she was confused. Her original goal was to make things awkward between Chen Xing and Little Zero.

But judging from Chen Xing’s expression, not only was he not embarrassed, something good must’ve happened last night?

But she wouldn’t ask him directly.

She’d have to wait until Little Zero woke up.

“That’s strange… what’s wrong with Mistress Meow…?”

“Why does her face look so red? Is she sick?”

Miao Miao, being observant, noticed a slight blush on Little Zero’s face.

“What’s wrong with Sis-in-law!”

Yun Xinghai put down his food immediately.

“Mm…”

Little Zero let out a small sound from Chen Xing’s arms, thinking:

Crap… they realized I’m awake…

Actually, she’d woken up when Chen Xing entered the hallway.

But just ten minutes ago, they were still doing those unspeakable things.

Now suddenly meeting people right after — she felt way too shy.

Especially her “bunnies”…

They were still a bit numb… and swollen on both sides…

So she pretended to be asleep.

But after waking up, her head was filled with images of Little Chen Xing — arrogant, proud, standing tall and unyielding.

And of course, his special technique: Dragon Claw Hands.

Naturally, her face was red, and now they’d caught on.

Chen Xing didn’t expose her and instead smiled and kissed her on the forehead:

“Awake? Hungry?”

“Mm… a little~”

Then Chen Xing and Little Zero sat down at the table too.

“Hmph!”

Little Zero stretched out her foot and kicked Su Su.

Su Su chuckled:

“Why’d you kick me?”

“Liar…!”

Little Zero pouted angrily — it was all Su Su’s fault…

She was so embarrassed in front of Chen Xing last night!

“Haha…”

Su Su could pretty much guess what had happened last night — and just thinking about it made her want to laugh.

With Chen Xing and Little Zero now here, Su Su finally stopped mocking Xue Bufeng and Yun Xinghai.

The second half of their meal was actually kind of nice.

After eating, the group planned to head to the Martial Artists’ Association.

The assessment started at ten o’clock.

“You’re all going?”

Su Su glanced at the group getting up.

Xue Bufeng accidentally looked over at her and froze for a moment.

Just now… there was a flicker of loneliness in her eyes!?

Why?

He wondered if he was seeing things.

With Su Su’s playful personality, could she really feel something like loneliness?

Impossible.

Sure enough, the next second Su Su smiled:

“Count me in! I’ve got nothing else to do at home anyway.”

Then she looked mischievously at Xue Bufeng and Yun Xinghai:

“Let’s see how skilled you two really are.”

“Don’t go!”

“We’re begging you!”

Xue Bufeng and Yun Xinghai said in unison.

They already knew what was coming — a full day of mental torment!

Su Su, seeing how afraid they were, only laughed harder. Of course she was going!

Soon after, Su Su, Xue, Yun, Miao, Little Zero, and Xing all went to the underground parking garage of Linlang Sky City.

They were going to drive there.

“Hehe~ Can I drive?”

Little Zero eagerly volunteered, rubbing her hands together.

Her license couldn’t go to waste — finally, a chance to show off!

Everyone looked at her with strange, skeptical expressions:

“You have a license?”

“Hehe~ Of course I do!”

With a thought, Little Zero summoned her driver’s license.

“Ta-da~”

She happily held it up, her eyes turning into crescent moons of joy.

She looked just as sweet and cute as in the photo on her license.

“You actually passed!?”

Su Su stared at her in disbelief.

Even she hadn’t passed — to her, getting a license was madness.

That wasn’t a driving test — that was a death challenge!

She couldn’t imagine Little Zero, of all people, actually succeeding.

The expected script should’ve been:

Little Zero has a sudden urge to get her license.

Then quits after seeing how hard it is.

That test is practically suicide — how did Little Zero pass?

“Hehe~ Am I awesome or what~ Hmph… it was super hard! I practiced a lot~”

Little Zero put away her license proudly and stood with her hands on her hips.

She felt very cool.

Chen Xing chuckled and rubbed her head:

“Amazing!”

“Hehe~”

“Mistress is so impressive…”

Even Yun Xinghai and Miao Miao were in awe.

They’d never taken the test themselves, but judging from all the videos online…

It looked brutal.

Like training for pro street racers.

“Hehe… so can I drive?”

Little Zero looked at Xue Bufeng.

It was his car.

“Uh… sure, of course!”

Xue Bufeng got out of the driver’s seat, amazed.

He’d taken the test, and he knew how hard it was.

For someone like Little Zero — sweet, soft, and delicate — he’d never met one who could pass.

Little Zero got in the driver’s seat and looked at Chen Xing:

“Hubby… can you sit next to me~?”

Chen Xing chuckled:

“I could sit below your butt instead.”

Little Zero’s face flushed, and her eyes instinctively flicked downward at Little Chen Xing.

She quickly shook her head:

“No no! You… you sit next to me, okay?”

Since Little Zero was acting cute, Chen Xing of course agreed.

He called out:

“Everyone in.”

“Uh… I suddenly don’t want to go.”

Su Su had a bad feeling.

“Why?”

Little Zero tilted her head, confused. She wanted to show off her skills to Su Su.

“Come on~ I’m super stable!”

In the end, Su Su reluctantly got in.

It was a spacious business van.

Three rows of six seats in the back, the front two rows facing each other.

Su Su and Miao Miao sat facing Xue Bufeng and Yun Xinghai.

Vroom!~

The car started, and the stereo suddenly began playing the news.

Xue Bufeng liked listening to the radio.

【According to our reporters: A few days ago, concerned citizens reported that Mount Akina echoed with wailing ghosts at night, like a parade of spirits crying: “Wuuu~ the hearse!” causing chills and unrest!】

【Upon investigation, officials discovered it wasn’t a haunting, but a gathering of street racers.】

【The leader was known as “Zero Car.”】

【Reportedly, Zero Car completed the cliff-diving route on Mount Akina in a miraculous 5 minutes and 55 seconds!】

【Officials are repairing the roads, and say such stunts will remain legendary — and banned.】

【Authorities have launched a citywide manhunt! The leader who dared to drive this way will be severely punished if caught!】

“Huh?”

Little Zero turned to Chen Xing and pouted:

“Hubby… they wanna arrest us… what do we do?”

Everyone else: ???

“It’s fine, don’t worry, I’m here.”

Everyone: Wait. Hold up.

Are you saying… you two were the ones leading that death-defying race!?

“Okay… then I’m starting~”

“Mm.” Chen Xing nodded.

The four in the back frantically reached for their seatbelts!

“Wait a—”

VROOM!

Before anyone could finish, the engine roared!

Little Zero floored the gas pedal!

Xue Bufeng and Yun Xinghai’s heads slammed against the back of their seats.

“WTF!”

Su Su shrieked and flew into Xue Bufeng’s arms.

“Ow… that hurts…”

Miao Miao, meanwhile, smacked her forehead bang! right into Yun Xinghai’s chest.

Cough~

Yun Xinghai almost lost his breath.
