Development, Part One

In the distant reaches of space, aboard an Eastern Extreme Alliance merchant ship speeding along.

Li Rong gently wriggled out of Yuan Du Zi's full embrace, shaking out her smooth, gorgeous red hair.

Naked, she walked into the bathroom and began rinsing herself off.

Her relationship with Yuan Du Zi was strange.

At first, Yuan Du Zi had wanted to kill her, but later, for Wei He's sake, she had spared her life.

Then, up until now, the two of them had gone through far too much together.

Especially during that time in this utterly unfamiliar universe, when they had only each other to depend on for survival.

Their relationship had gradually grown ever more intimate.

Li Rong did not know what she was to Yuan Du Zi. But toward this strongest existence who had once belonged to the enemy camp,

she had already formed an inexplicable bond with her.

After all, they had spent centuries together. Even a pig would develop feelings after that long.

Looking at the sleeping Yuan Du Zi beneath the starlight, wearing nothing at all,

her fair, flawless, delicate skin faintly glowing with a gentle sheen, Li Rong sighed. With a tremor of psychic energy, she shook the water from her body and returned to the bedside.

The two embraced and fell asleep once more, their smooth bodies pressed tightly together, as though they were still in those most destitute days of old.

'Teacher Li, I received news from the professor. Those powerful Rebooters generally have a partner at their side, and they are almost all Deep Crimson Terrifying Humans. If you really find a Rebooter, the best course is not to rashly make a move. Their Terrifying Human partners will not directly intervene, but you must still watch out for exceptional cases.' —Wei He.
