Star Girl and Walter brought March 7th back to the inn.
Back in her room, March 7th's eyes were still fixed on the direction she had been chasing, her expression slightly complicated. She was somewhat annoyed; perhaps she had been too eager to see Zhou Xiao and had misjudged him...
She ran her fingers through her hair, put her diary away, washed up, and went to bed... trying to relax her tense emotions a little.
...
Was she really mistaken?
Of course not.
It's simply a matter of missing out.
Zhou Xiao did indeed pass by in the direction visible from March 7's window, but he didn't just wander around and left quickly, which meant that when March 7 chased after him, he found nothing.
When the passing Star Core Hunter finally arrived at the Silver Wolf's location after a long and arduous journey, the little Silver Wolf was preparing to move to a different position.
Seeing Zhou Xiao arrive with his enthusiastic Yunqi soldiers, their armor glowing crimson, she raised an eyebrow slightly and spoke slowly:
"You're finally here... You're so slow, I was about to move on."
Little Silver Wolf.
Stubborn to the end.
She was able to pinpoint Zhou Xiao's exact location using her backup phone; if she weren't waiting for Zhou Xiao, she would have moved her position long ago.
"I just arrived and you want to move me? Can't you let me rest for a while?" Zhou Xiao said, indicating that it wasn't easy for him to get here.
"Tsk..." Silver Wolf looked Zhou Xiao up and down, thought for a moment, and then gave Zhou Xiao some time to rest.
"One system at a time, then evacuate..."
“Oh…” Zhou Xiao glanced around the room. This was a house in a small courtyard located in the core area of the Star Chariot Sea:
"You actually hid here...you're really bold."
"So we need to move..." Silver Wolf skillfully opened his phone, ready to continue playing the game for a while.
"Where's Kaffa? I can't find her. Isn't she with you?" Zhou Xiao asked after not seeing Kaffa for a while.
"She went to prepare the script for the next scene... You're quite reluctant to see her go?"
"The next scene of the script..."
Zhou Xiao stroked his chin, recalling the original plot in his mind. He only had a vague recollection of the events surrounding Luo Fu...
He decided to stop thinking about it and, seeing Silver Wolf start playing games again, raised an eyebrow slightly: "Oh, your account got unbanned?"
Hearing Zhou Xiao's words, Silver Wolf noticed him approaching her, and instinctively pulled her phone closer to her body.
"Don't even think about playing on my account again..."
Perhaps because of the trauma from last time, Silver Wolf is now too afraid to let Zhou Xiao touch her game account again.
“Tsk…” Zhou Xiao didn’t intend to play either. He found a chair, sat down, and closed his eyes to rest.
I don't know if it was the day's travel that made him tired, or if his established biological clock made him sleepy at this time of day.
He was really busy today.
First, Yanqing was disciplined with three slaps; then, on the way back to meet Silver Wolf with Mirror Flow Blade, they encountered the "pyramid scheme" of the Medicine King's Secret Teachings; and after finally making it back, they were ambushed by someone who lacked martial ethics...
This day finally made up for all the free time he'd had these past few days...
His breathing gradually became even and calm, as if he were truly resting.
Seeing that he really didn't move, Silver Wolf, who was playing the game, surprisingly shifted his attention from the game to him.
He looks... truly exhausted.
Silver Wolf's beautiful eyes carefully examined Zhou Xiao from head to toe, and she could see the tired look on his face.
So even creatures capable of tearing apart an Extinction Lord can run out of energy...
Silver Wolf found it amazing and decided to compile Zhou Xiao's schedule for today into her book, "On Zhou Xiao".
etc...
Zhou Xiao in this state... seems quite suitable to be made into an emoji?
Silver Wolf suddenly realized something. Zhou Xiao's sitting posture was very casual, resembling the "Ge You slouch," unlike his upright posture when he rested...
Thinking of this, she hurriedly quit the game and carefully prepared to secretly take pictures of Zhou Xiao.
She observed him for a while to make sure Zhou Xiao wouldn't wake up anytime soon, then found a good angle and started taking pictures.
She took the photos very boldly... after all, she didn't use a flash, so as long as Zhou Xiao didn't open his eyes, she could "do whatever she wanted".
...
On the other side, Zhou Xiao closed his eyes to rest, and just as he was feeling sleepy, he suddenly thought of something.
Today, he didn't do his daily self-discipline training... He was either rushing or making moves, completely disrupting his well-established habits...
None of them realized it...
That...
Should we still do it?
Zhou Xiao pondered the problem for a moment... the lazy thoughts that had surfaced in his mind were influencing him...
His daily training certainly yielded minimal improvement... but he'd persevered until now in order to gain those self-discipline points...
Need to do...
Perhaps laziness hadn't completely assimilated him yet, for he suddenly opened his eyes and decided to complete his daily self-discipline plan before the day ended.
The moment he opened his eyes, he scared the silver wolf, who was secretly taking pictures, half to death, and the phone almost slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.
Seeing Silver Wolf's flustered and unsure of what to do, Zhou Xiao frowned slightly and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I?"
Silver Wolf, suddenly feeling a bit guilty after being called on, chuckled, "Heh, what could I be doing... I was playing games, of course!"
She raised her voice slightly, seemingly to bolster her courage.
"Playing games? You were practically glued to me just now? That's playing games?" If Zhou Xiao wasn't mistaken, Silver Wolf was practically pressed against him with his entire body...
"Okay, okay..."
Silver Wolf realized this excuse was becoming untenable and was about to tell the truth when she suddenly noticed the spare phone peeking out from the corner of Zhou Xiao's pocket, which gave her a new reason:
"I used my spare phone... It has some games that this phone doesn't have... I want to play them."
oh!
What a reasonable excuse!
It seems that no flaws can be found.
Zhou Xiao took Silver Wolf's spare phone out of his pocket: "Is that so?"
"What else? Nobody's going to think I have ulterior motives towards you, right? No way... What could possibly make me want to have ulterior motives towards you..."
Silver Wolf said something rather stiffly.
Fortunately, Zhou Xiao's mind wasn't on her. After handing her the spare phone, Zhou Xiao prepared to start completing his self-discipline routine that he hadn't done that day.
"Aren't you going to rest? Then let's move to another position?" Silver Wolf asked, seeing that Zhou Xiao didn't seem to be planning to rest any longer.
“No…” Zhou Xiao shook his head, glanced at Silver Wolf, and said, “I have more important things to do…”
