The gray Zhu Nü wanted to feel that stirring sensation again.
So it had stayed by the girl's side.
Even though... it had seen all the bad luck that kept befalling her.
It hadn't cared.
In fact, it had even been a little angry.
The girl still hadn't shown it that dance again.
As for the girl's frequent misfortunes, it had watched coldly, with a little schadenfreude.
Served her right.
To it, a girl who couldn't dance the way she had that day was no different from any other human.
Still, it hadn't been completely indifferent.
That time, when the girl was practicing her dance and was about to fall...
It had stepped in.
Otherwise, the girl would have hit the ground hard.
Then the one in the hospital... would have been the girl herself.
Not her friend.
It had only given the girl a slight push when she was about to fall.
The girl had fallen onto her friend.
As for the girl stepping on her friend's foot...
That hadn't been something it had anticipated or could control.
That was the girl's own doing.
It had nothing to do with it.
As far as it was concerned, all that mattered was that the girl's foot wasn't hurt.
It was still waiting to see her dance the way she had that day.
So her foot couldn't be injured.
It hadn't expected this...
The gray Zhu Nü looked at the human in front of it.
It still hadn't seen the girl dance.
Instead, it had run into a fiend like this.
Forget it.
It wasn't fixated on the girl's dancing anymore.
It would just treat that dance as a one-time fluke.
The girl... might not be able to dance the way it wanted her to, anyway.
After all,
