Zhao Ji: Have I Been Set Up? (Please Vote)

To be honest, Zhao Ji's feelings toward Qiu Tu had always been somewhat complicated.

And as time passed, as the gap in strength between Qiu Tu and her grew smaller and smaller, those feelings became increasingly complicated as well.

Having been a god across two lifetimes, Zhao Ji had always been a woman standing at the pinnacle of the Boundless Mind Sea. No matter whom she faced, she was always the one taking care of others. When had anyone ever taken care of her?

Over all these years, aside from her master taking care of her for two months and allowing her to experience unprecedented warmth and emotion, she had spent most of her time constantly giving.

In her previous life, she protected the living beings of Mist Cliff World for ten years over a promise to her master. When the Boundless Mind Sea was invaded, she attacked two God Kings without the slightest hesitation. And in this life, she had protected Qiu Tu from weakness to strength.

In her heart, the world had always been like this. She was used to giving silently and asking for nothing in return.

Or rather, the only return she sought was a bit of enjoyment to brighten her otherwise uneventful path to the summit.

Like tonight. She should have continued cultivating diligently, but at Qing Lan's arm-tugging invitation, she had still joined the four-player mahjong game.

It was not that she thought mahjong was useful. It was simply because Qing Lan was someone she acknowledged, and mahjong could add a little color to her life.

Yet, all of that changed when she faced Qiu Tu.

The little man she had "raised" and "protected" had not only gradually closed the gap between them, but was now actually turning around to take care of her?
