Zero was about to say something, but Zi You gestured for him to remain silent and continued:
"Originally, I planned to keep you occupied for now, to be your servant, and then leave once I transformed into human form..."
Ling looked at Zi You with such a serious expression.
"Today was originally the day I was supposed to leave, but since we have known each other for a while, I would like to say goodbye before I leave."
Zero nodded blankly and replied:
"That's fine too."
Zi You shook her head and said:
"That was just my initial idea. Now I've changed my mind."
"Um?"
He looked at her with no doubt, waiting for her to say what she would say next.
Zi You said again:
"As I recall our journey, I know you are different from those humans who took us away. You are kind, sincere, and upright..."
Zero was a little embarrassed by her praise and muttered to herself:
"Actually... I'm not as good as you say..."
Zi You looked at Ling and said:
“Originally, after I took human form, the contract between us was nullified, and I was free. No one could bind me anymore… But I have come here to re-establish the contract with you…”
"What?"
The earth spirit and the sword spirit within the space were both shocked.
This was the first time they had ever heard of a pet actively requesting to form a contract with a human, especially one that had already successfully transformed into human form and was indistinguishable from a human.
Zi You could have left, so why did she choose to stay...?
Not only the earth spirit and the sword spirit, but Zero was also very puzzled.
"Why did you..."
Ling hesitated, unsure how to begin.
Zi You explained:
"I'm no longer in the Upper Realm, and I'm not familiar with the Human Realm. Rather than wandering aimlessly alone, it's better to come with you. Besides, I've already gotten used to living with you..."
"Live with me?"
"Yes, so I want to renew our contract."
"No."
Zero shook his head and refused Zi You.
"I will not agree to form a contract with you."
"Why?"
Zi You asked in confusion.
Everyone else would love to form a contract with her, let alone now that she's a transformed beast. Why is Zero unwilling?
Zero explained:
"I don't want to bind you with a contract. I hope we can be partners who fight side by side. I hope you can stay as a friend, not because of a contract... Ziyou, you are different from others. I believe in you, and I hope you believe in me too, okay? One day, I will make those people pay the price!"
Without even guessing, Zero knew that the man in black Zi You was referring to was the one who was with Li Su.
When the enemy is the same, the goal is the same.
Zi You nodded.
Zero is right. She is currently in the human realm. Even though she has taken human form and possesses certain abilities, it seems that she cannot directly seek revenge on the other party.
It seems that all we can do now is follow Zero and take it one step at a time...
However, Zero was unwilling to form a contract with her, but instead regarded her as a partner and friend, which was something she had not expected.
In their eyes, all humans were greedy and cunning, until she met Zero.
Zero seemed completely different from the humans she knew.
Since that's the case, why not follow him, grow stronger together, and defeat the person behind it all...
It must be said that she initially only wanted to use Zero. Even her talk of re-establishing a contract with Zero was just a test, a test of Zero's attitude towards him.
If Zero agrees to the contract, she won't kill him, but perhaps she and Zero will never have any further connection, and none of what happened afterward will occur...
But Zero's words changed Zi You's original thoughts; perhaps...
As Zero said, they can become friends, right?
