“Of course it’s true!”

Zero listened with a face full of surprise. “So you… will be able to have many, many Spirit Users!”

“Wow! That’s amazing! Huhu~”

Chen Xing smiled and gently patted her head. “It’s your talent, not mine.”

“Hmm… Yeah! I’m talented! Huhu~”

“Hahaha…” Chen Xing also burst into laughter, but suddenly, Zero seemed to think of something else.

Her happy expression quickly disappeared and turned somewhat sad. Chen Xing quickly noticed and asked softly, “What’s wrong, Zero?”

“Um… It’s nothing…”

By now, the mind-reading effect had already worn off, and Chen Xing had no idea what she was thinking. “What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing…”

Chen Xing was completely puzzled and didn’t know what to do. Something that made her so happy, why suddenly became a source of disappointment?

“Um…” Zero gently leaned against Chen Xing’s chest and held him tightly. She neither cried nor laughed, but she seemed preoccupied. Chen Xing gaining multiple Spirit Users would undoubtedly greatly enhance his strength. Zero was genuinely happy for him.

But…

Just the thought of him having other Spirit Users made her feel a bit uncomfortable. She was a girl who liked to share, but when it came to Chen Xing, she wanted him all to herself.

What if the next, or the next next Spirit User… is a beautiful young lady…

What if Chen Xing likes them and doesn’t like her anymore…

“Chen Xing… I…”

“Hmm?”

“I only like you…”

Chen Xing was momentarily stunned but immediately understood what was troubling her. He gently kissed her lips.

“Um…” After a while, they parted, and he softly said, “I only like you, forever.”

Zero stared into his eyes intently, as if she could see their future through Chen Xing’s gaze. In that future, they had many children together, and their kids grew up, surrounding them with laughter and joy. They would forever hold hands, gazing at the starry sky and witnessing the wonders of the world.

“Yes! I believe you!”

Chen Xing smiled and gently embraced her. He would only ever love her!

Otherwise, with his fame in the previous plane, with all sorts of women pursuing him, why wouldn’t he agree? On that rainy night when they first met, when their eyes met, Chen Xing had already fallen uncontrollably in love with her.

Forever.

Suddenly, Zero’s Spirit System went crazy!

【 Beep~ Your friend Su Su sent a message… 】

【 Beep~ Your friend Su Su sent a message…】

The messages quickly piled up to 99+…

Chen Xing was puzzled. Had this person gone mad?

“Wow~ Su Su… What are you doing?” Zero anxiously brought up the system panel, intending to open the messages.

Suddenly, a connection request panel popped up.

【 Your friend Su Su is requesting a call connection… Accept? 】

“Um… Chen Xing, wait a moment! Don’t make a sound!”

“Hello?”

【 Hello!!! 】

The voice from the other end of the phone simultaneously exploded in both Zero and Chen Xing’s minds. The loud voice sent shivers down their spines!

“Um…” Zero couldn’t help but massage her temples and quickly adjusted the system volume. Even though she lowered it, the sound was still loud. On the other side, Su Su’s voice shouted at the top of her lungs.

【”Zero! Where are you? Tell me! 】

“Um… I…”

【 You little brat! You’re actually in a real relationship!? You’ve grown up, huh! Not only are you dating, but you’re also showing affection!?】

【Did I or did I not tell you to wait for me! Wait for me to come and see! Oh, did I not say that? Um… I forgot…】

【Um…】

There was silence on the other end for a moment, but soon the voice became loud again.

【 That’s not the point! The point is you’re in a relationship! Actually! You didn’t even tell me in advance! No love anymore! Hmph! Goodbye! End of friendship! 】

【 Beep~ Call disconnected 】

“Um…” Zero nestled into Chen Xing’s embrace, feeling aggrieved. “Uwu… Su Su is so scary…”

Chen Xing couldn’t help but laugh and cry. Zero’s best friend, she was truly something!

【 Beep~ Your friend Su Su is requesting a call connection… Accept? 】

Oh, here we go again! Pouting, Zero tremblingly accepted the call.

【 Hello! Where are you? I’m coming to find you! 】

“Uwu… Su Su…”

【 Stop it! I know you’re not crying! Quickly tell me where you are! 】

“How did you know…”

【 Hmph… I’m just that good. 】

【 No, actually, you’ve learned to change the subject!? 】

“How did you know I’m in a relationship?”

【 Nonsense! Your lovey-dovey videos are all over the internet! Don’t you go online, Missy?” 】

“Um… Then I’ll go take a look…”

【 No! Where are you? Tell me!” 】

“Um… I won’t tell you…” Su Su acted as if she was going to tear her apart, so Zero didn’t dare to tell her!

【 Fine! I’ll go to the Training Academy to find you! Wait for me… Don’t you leave after school! 】

Chen Xing couldn’t help but chuckle.

【 Hmm? Is that Chen Xing next to you!? 】

“Um… No… No!”

【 Tell him to come out and talk!!! 】

“Um… No!”

【 Chen Xing! Have the guts to come out and talk! 】

Chen Xing glanced at Zero, who vigorously shook her head, making the gesture for silence.

【 I’m telling you! Zero may be easy to bully, but I’m not! I advise you to be careful! Before I come, if you dare to touch Zero even a bit, I’ll smash your head! 】

“What the…?”

【 Beep~ Call disconnected! 】

Upon hearing Su Su’s increasing agitation, Zero quickly hung up the phone. She had experienced Su Su’s sharp tongue before when she scolded her previous Spirit Masters.

“Phew~”

“You scared me…”

“Um… Chen Xing, don’t blame her. That’s just how she is, impatient…”

Chen Xing smiled and said, “It’s alright, I don’t mind. It just shows that she really cares about you. It seems like you two have a good relationship.”

“Yeah! She’s my best, best friend~”

…

On Su Su’s side…

“Damn it!!!”

“Women are so fickle!”

“She infuriates me! Ahh!”

“This idiot! How could she easily believe that guy’s nonsense!?”

Sitting next to her was a young lady, her Spirit Master. With brown hair, a standard oval face, and long legs, she had an outstanding temperament. She was Su Su’s Spirit Master: Lin Yuexi.

【 A-rank Spirit Master: Lin Yuexi, Battle Power: 458,000 】

【 Spirit Master: Su Su, Spirit Grade: A, Star Level: 5 stars! (Su Su has been upgraded four times, so her attribute bonuses are high, resulting in such a high Battle Power.) 】

【 Spirit Master Weapon Form: Gun and Cannon Class】

Lin Yuexi brought over two plates of food and handed them to Su Su, smiling. “It’s normal for someone to be in a relationship, you know.”

However, Su Su retorted, “Sister Yuexi, you know Zero, right? That big fool! She believes everything anyone says! She can get deceived and even helped the person count money!”

Lin Yuexi shook her head and said, “I watched the video of them showing affection online. The way that boy treats her seems genuine. It doesn’t look fake.”

Su Su remained highly excited and said, “Isn’t it because he’s attracted to Zero’s SSS-rank Spirit User identity?! I refuse to believe that he would treat her this way after knowing that Zero can’t level up anymore!”

“If she gets abandoned after falling in love so deeply with him, the impact on Zero would be devastating!”

Lin Yuexi said, “Didn’t you also watch his battle videos? He’s actually very powerful! Maybe he’s with her because he genuinely likes Zero.”

Su Su raised her index finger and waved it in front of Lin Yuexi while shaking her head. “Sister Yuexi! You don’t understand men!”

“You little brat! Mocking me for not having a man? No lunch for you!”

“Ahh! No, please!” Su Su quickly protected the food in her embrace and proudly said, “In the afternoon, let’s go to the Training Academy! Sister Yuexi, just watch. I’ll expose that hypocritical mask of his!”

“I want to make sure Zero sees clearly what kind of person he really is! Hmph!”
