Chapter 315: "Do You Need Me to Serve You?

Yu Zhizhi found some time to visit the Divine Hall Illusion Realm, but she didn’t see the young Cat Clan man this time.

However, the talisman was still there.

It hung lazily above the round table. When it saw Yu Zhizhi, its "body" flickered.

"Are you here for Zero?"

"Mhm~" A smile graced Yu Zhizhi’s face. "Is he here?"

"Zero has been very busy lately. He probably won’t be able to come except on the night of the full moon." The talisman guarding the round table yawned. "He’ll be busy for the next three months. If you need something, you can leave a note. If it’s not important, it’s best not to disturb him."

"Then... then I’ll wait a bit longer..."

Yu Zhizhi hesitated, then sat down in a chair, looking at the white mask beside her.

In a few more days, the system would have the results.

’If I’m not pregnant with a kitten, then I’ll figure out a way to contact Zero.’

’But...’

’He’s been busy lately, too?’

’This Array Talisman seems to know a lot, and it appears to have a very good relationship with Zero.’

Just as Yu Zhizhi was about to leave, a figure gradually materialized in the red cushioned chair on the other side of the round table.

The talisman let out a surprised "Huh?" "What special day is it today? Why is everyone showing up?"

Yu Zhizhi stared blankly. The newcomer was dressed in a black robe and wore a white mask from the Divine Hall.

The person didn’t say a word. He placed the object in his hand on the table.

It was a black box.

The man leaned back in his chair and tapped the lid of the box. "It’s all here."

The talisman’s voice sounded cheerful. "As expected of No.2!"

The last time she had "seen" this No.2 Envoy, the circumstances had been special, and Yu Zhizhi hadn’t dared to look. She only recalled that his voice sounded a bit familiar.

Now, his voice sounded even more familiar.

The area around the round table was pitch black.

Gradually, the sound of footsteps approached.

Yu Zhizhi looked over in pleasant surprise—

’Zero’s here!’

The young Cat Clan man walked over slowly. He saw the black box and nodded slightly. "Half a month earlier than expected."

The black box on the table slowly slid in front of Zero.

His fingers rested on it as his gaze fell upon the Rabbit Clan female’s face. Just as he was about to speak, he realized No.2 was about to leave.

The young Cat Clan man quickly said, "You have to come to the full moon meeting this time."

"Also—"

"This is Miss No.1, who recently joined the Divine Hall Alliance."

Yu Zhizhi faced No.2, who was still seated, and said softly, "Hello."

No.2 shot her a glance—

’This Rabbit Clan female doesn’t even wear her mask properly.’ He watched her coldly, without reacting.

He had only joined the Divine Hall Alliance temporarily. Once he repaid his debt to Zero, he would leave.

He didn’t want to get involved with anyone in the Alliance.

Although this Rabbit Clan female felt strangely familiar, he didn’t dwell on it. He just stared at the cat man not far away, wishing he would hurry up and inspect the contents.

The young Cat Clan man put on white gloves and opened the black box before him. Inside was a pile of white bones that had been sealed for a long time.

He took them out and examined them carefully.

These white bones had been sealed for a very long time; finding them was no easy feat.

After a good while, he finally put the bones down and closed the box.

"These are only some of the Bone Remains. The rest will be difficult to find." The young Cat Clan man’s tone held a hint of regret as he took off his white gloves. "Thank you, Mr. No.2."

’The ones from his side should all be here.’

’The rest will have to be found by others.’

’I have to plan ahead. Before the end of the world arrives, I have to at least gather all of these Bone Remains.’

"You’re welcome." No.2’s voice was cold. "We’re even."

"Hahaha~" The young Cat Clan man laughed twice.

’This No.2, he really keeps a clear tally.’

"Um..."

Yu Zhizhi couldn’t help but take a step toward him. "Mr. No.2, have we met before?"

The man’s voice was just too familiar.

No.2’s tone was icy. "We haven’t."

"Then can you take off your mask?" Yu Zhizhi was genuinely curious.

The man probably hadn’t expected the Rabbit Clan female to make such a direct request. He was silent for a moment, and then his figure began to fade.

No.2 had left the Divine Hall Illusion Realm.

A trace of disappointment flickered across Yu Zhizhi’s face.

Above, the talisman let out a cackle, "KYEHEHEHE. That’s just how No.2 Envoy is—cold and taciturn. No one can get close to him. Don’t take it to heart, No.1 Envoy."

The talisman continued, "The only reason he was willing to join the Divine Hall Alliance back then was because Zero foresaw a crisis and helped his side reduce their combat losses by nearly half."

The young Cat Clan man’s gaze fell on the Rabbit Clan female. Her emotions were plain to see; she seemed to be very concerned about No.2.

’Well, they are old acquaintances, after all.’

Yu Zhizhi wasn’t entirely sure, since she hadn’t seen him take off his mask. She lowered her head, lost in thought.

The young Cat Clan man watched her for a long time.

He raised his head and looked at the dark green mist above. "You should get some rest."

The talisman replied, "Huh? Now? But it’s still so early! If I don’t guard the table, what if someone else comes?"

"It’s fine. I’m here."

The Array Talisman tutted. "Fine, I’m out of here."

’Zero has changed!’

’He’s not the same Zero he used to be!’

’He has his own secrets now!’

’Zero is always spending time alone with No.1, and he doesn’t want me to know what they’re up to, hmph!’

’There’s definitely something fishy going on between them!’

After the talisman left.

The young Cat Clan man stood up and walked slowly to Yu Zhizhi’s side.

"What are you thinking about?"

Yu Zhizhi turned her head and saw the tall, slender figure standing beside her chair. The candlelight was dim, casting shadows on his shoulders. Half of his mask was bathed in candlelight, while the other half was plunged into darkness.

"I was thinking about No.2. He... where is he from?"

"I’m sorry, but I can’t disclose member information." The young Cat Clan man’s voice was gentle. He slowly knelt down and softly took the Rabbit Clan female’s hand. "If you really want to know, you might be able to see him at the next Divine Hall meeting."

With the young Cat Clan man kneeling on the floor, Yu Zhizhi no longer had to look up and could see him easily.

The corners of her mouth lifted, and she nodded lightly. "Mhm~"

Yu Zhizhi squeezed his fingers back. "Zero, I came here specifically for you."

"Is that so?"

"I thought I wouldn’t be able to see you again until the full moon..."

"Of course not. If you show up, I will always come."

Yu Zhizhi looked at him. Even with the mask, she wasn’t afraid of Zero at all. Besides, whenever he got close, his black cat ears would reveal themselves.

The young Cat Clan man saw a hint of shyness appear on the little female’s face.

It was the same look she got every time she wanted to mate.

He slowly smiled.

"Do you need me to serve you?"

Yu Zhizhi nodded lightly.

’Zero had never imagined he would go to such lengths to please a female.’

’But now that this day had truly come, perhaps it was because the female in question was this little rabbit...’

’He didn’t dislike it at all.’

’In fact, he rather liked it.’

’If only he could see her outside the Divine Hall Illusion Realm, too.’
