Once she understood why her emotions had gone out of control, Xue Xi no longer dwelled on it. There would be no major problems in the short term, and besides, with Xue Qi by her side, the light of her Wisdom Angel was quite effective at soothing such emotions.
They landed on a hillside. Xue Xi placed the imprisoned Menyue on the ground, released the restraints binding it within the spacetime realm, then took a few steps back and gestured for Xue Qi to come over.
Xue Qi approached with a complicated expression. After crouching down, she slowly placed her hand on the sphere's surface and gently stroked it. "Little Yueyue, do you... still remember me?"
Menyue was still reeling from the trauma of being swallowed and then spat back out by a wolf. Hearing that familiar call so suddenly, it instinctively raised its head and cried out, "Master?"
Xue Qi's eyes lit up. It seemed Menyue still remembered that exclusive form of address for her. Just as she was about to say something, Menyue abruptly changed its tone. "No, Kaichisi died long ago. I'm free now! Where did a little Cosmos Rank human like you learn that name?!"
Seeing Menyue suddenly act like a stranger hurt Xue Qi a little. Xue Xi, meanwhile, irritably flicked the sphere, making Menyue inside feel as though the world were spinning. "Xiao Qi is the Supreme Wisdom Angel Kaichisi. What, just because you've been resurrected, you think Xiao Qi can't live another life as well?"
Menyue immediately fell silent. In truth, when it had sensed Xue Qi's aura earlier, coupled with its own resurrection, it had vaguely guessed the truth. When she called out that extremely private name, it had already confirmed that this human called Xue Qi was its former master, Kaichisi.
