After several qualifying matches, Ling Ruoxi, with the absolute support of Ning Yuge and Luo Tiangang, had already broken into the top 100 in the Iron Division. Sitting in the cockpit, she looked at the rankings displayed on the screen, feeling a surge of accomplishment.
"Cousin, it's about time, right?" Ling Ruoxi said happily.
Ning Yuge was playfully drawing circles on the last enemy mecha with his dagger and said lazily, "That's right, call it a day, retreat! Hurry and ambush the boss in the Chaos Region."
Ling Ruoxi happily followed the two of them out of the battlefield, her heart full of longing for Zero's strength and mystery.
The three of them arrived at the edge of the Chaos Region. Ning Yuge showed off his Shadow Killer mecha and said proudly, "Xiao Xi, do you know what this is?"
Ling Ruoxi looked at the spiritual light flowing on the thruster in confusion, frowning: "It looks like... a Jindan-level thruster?"
Ning Yuge patted the mecha's butt and said proudly, "That's right! Red Flame Thrusters, genuine Golden Core grade! And not just any Golden Core grade. Being able to install them on a Foundation Establishment mecha is simply a work of art!"
Ling Ruoxi's eyes widened: "Jindan-level thrusters? How is that possible? This doesn't make sense at all!"
Luo Tiangang laughed as he wiped the giant shield of the Black Tortoise mecha, "Xiao Xi, you don't understand this! We found this last time when we were digging through a treasure chest in the Chaos Region. The key is that the boss modified it for us personally! He's a genius."
Ning Yuge proudly twisted the Shadow Killer mecha, his voice a little obscene: "How about it, Xiaoxi? Look at my thrusters, aren't they cool? They're fast and long-lasting!"
Ling Ruoxi blushed instantly: "Cousin! Can you be serious? What on earth are you trying to show off?"
Ning Yuge said innocently, "I just wanted to show you the thrusters. Who told you to think wrongly?"
Ling Ruoxi ignored him, but secretly took note of a wise saying in her heart: Zero is not only a god-level powerhouse, but also an absolute giant! This kind of giant must be held tightly. In the future, maybe he can surpass his level to defeat Jindan, beat Yuanying, and dominate the sect competition!
At this moment, a prompt sound popped up in the friend list: "Zero is online."
Ning Yuge shouted excitedly: "The boss is here, quickly call him to gather!"
Ling Ruoxi adjusted her mentality instantly, shedding her usual aloof look, switching to a cute mode, controlling the Sky Sword Armor to fly hurriedly towards Zero's direction.
Xiang Fan had just logged into the spiritual battlefield from reality and hadn't even gained a firm foothold when he heard a sweet voice coming from the communication channel: "Boss! You're finally here!"
He looked up and saw a sword-armored figure in the sky, shining brightly, running towards him with its waist twisted. Its posture was soft and charming, not like it was coming for a fight at all, but more like it was welcoming an old lover who had been apart for a long time.
Xiang Fan was stunned for a moment and muttered, "Sky Sword? Why are you here again..."
In the communication channel, Ling Ruoxi's voice was a little coquettish: "Boss, don't you remember me? I am Cang Qiong Jian, the one who was killed by you in one move last time!"
When Xiang Fan heard the word "instant kill," his mind immediately flashed back to the scene in the Bronze District where he had easily sent her home with one sword strike. An awkward smile appeared on his face. "Uh... hello?"
Ling Ruoxi's voice became more and more delicate: "Boss, why are you so cold? I am your loyal fan girl!"
The word "fangirl" exploded in Xiang Fan's mind. His first reaction was to think of Lu Qingli's gentle smile, and his second reaction... was the hot spring "file" that gave him nightmares.
His ears instantly turned red, and he frantically controlled the mecha to take a few steps back, saying hurriedly: "No... don't do this! You, you stay away from me!"
Seeing this, Ling Ruoxi became even more excited. She slowly approached the mecha with a hint of grievance in her voice: "Boss, why are you so cold to me? I just want to be closer to you!"
Xiang Fan was completely panicked: "Why are you getting close to me? Don't, don't come near me, I'm warning you!"
Ning Yuge and Luo Tiangang, standing by, were nearly falling out of their mechas from laughing. Ning Yuge wiped her tears and said, "Boss, you should really see your expression right now. It's totally worth it!"
Luo Tiangang pounded the cockpit: "Hahaha! Boss, this fangirl has full skills, you should quickly accept her, who can resist her!"
Ling Ruoxi had no intention of giving up. She controlled the Sky Sword Armor and approached again, saying delicately, "Boss, you are so cold! I have admired you for a long time. You are our strongest thigh!"
When Xiang Fan heard the word "thigh," his mind immediately flashed with images unsuitable for discussion. He huddled stiffly in the cockpit, his face flushed. Worse still, he knew the other person was a real person, a real woman! The shock of this reality had him flustered, his voice trembling slightly. "Don't... don't get so close. I... am not used to it..."
Seeing this, Ling Ruoxi immediately changed her tactics, her tone becoming even more delicate. "Boss, you're so kind to us. It's no small thing for you to just modify my mecha sword moves and optimize my thrusters! We'll follow you to crush Jindan and Yuanying cultivators from now on, but we're counting on you!"
When Xiang Fan heard the words "sword moves" and "thrusters," he was stunned for a few seconds before reacting. He mechanically repeated, "Sword moves...thrusters?"
Ling Ruoxi struck while the iron was hot, her voice so sweet it could squeeze water out of her: "Yes, yes! Boss, you're the best. If you can just help me fix it, I will never embarrass you again, and I can even be your number one fan!"
Xiang Fan completely collapsed, nearly squeezing himself out of the cockpit. He waved his hands incoherently, "Okay, okay, okay, I'll change it all! Sword moves, thrusters, everything! Just...just stay away from me!"
Ling Ruoxi controlled the mecha with satisfaction and took two steps back, with a smug smile in her tone: "Thank you, Boss, I knew you were the best!"
Xiang Fan slumped in the driver's seat, his face burning like smoke. He took several deep breaths, trying to calm himself, mentally reassuring himself: It's okay, she's just a player, it's okay... But why does her voice sound so similar... so similar... Oh no, I can't think about it anymore!
On the other side, Ning Yuge and Luo Tiangang were completely stunned. After a few seconds of silence on the communication channel, Ning Yuge finally couldn't help but say, "Xiao Xi... Is this the aloof goddess I know? When it comes to acting like a spoiled child, you're really a master at it. There's no limit to it!"
Luo Tiangang coughed, his tone tinged with envy. "That's what I said. The boss looks cold, but he's actually just a little boy who's afraid of girls. How about I get a voice changer and try to act like a cute girl? Do you think it's too late?"
Ning Yuge scoffed, "Get lost! You're pretending to be a cute girl with that voice? It'll probably scare a child to tears, and it'll be so disgusting that people won't be able to sleep at night!"
Ling Ruoxi controlled the Sky Sword Armor and slowly retreated, a smug smile on her face: "As expected, Boss Zero is a little sheep. I can coax him into obedience by just acting cute! From now on, I just need to hold on to this thigh tightly, and bully him from Black Iron to Golden Core, and then all the way to Nascent Soul. The future will definitely be wonderful!"
Meanwhile, in the cockpit, Xiang Fan huddled in a ball, his face flushed, his hands and feet tangled. He muttered to himself, "Girls... are so scary... so hard to deal with..."
