The day before the expedition.
Ling Zhan stayed in his villa, continuing to review the detailed intelligence for this operation, checking for omissions and filling in the gaps.
"Captain Ling, it's time to eat."
Zhou Xue'er knocked on the door.
Ling Zhan did not need to look. The smart butler had already scanned Zhou Xue'er from head to toe, confirmed her identity, and automatically let her in.
Zhou Xue'er wore a white dress. Her once-short hair had somehow grown long, and her smooth black locks now cascaded over her fragrant shoulders. Paired with her gentle, rippling eyes, every inch of her exuded a charm unique to women.
In her jade-like hands, she carried several dishes and bowls of food.
Ling Zhan looked up at her indifferently. He did not know whether it was merely his imagination, but he felt that Zhou Xue'er had changed quite a bit.
When he had first arrived at Hundred Ghost Fortress, Zhou Xue'er had sported a sharp, capable bob. Though she possessed a pair of seductive phoenix eyes, her entire bearing radiated the heroic spirit of a woman among men.
But now...
She seemed to have gradually become gentler. Every smile and movement was more like that of a refined young lady from a distinguished family.
Of course...
Zhou Xue'er's family was indeed a powerful and prestigious clan renowned far and wide. Her family had produced four fourth-turn powerhouses, and they were no less formidable than Li Chaoge's Li family.
Within Skycloud Province, where the Zhou family was based, Zhou Xue'er was even called the "Little Princess," which was enough to reveal the Zhou family's deep foundations.
Yet the competitive Zhou Xue'er had resolutely chosen to remain in the war zone and build her achievements there.
Who said women were inferior to men?
Only now...
