In an instant, her expression changed.
She had seen the look on Cynthia's face.
Xu Mu gave a faint smile.
Then he said to Athena:
"Stay away from me!"
Athena stared at him, bewildered.
What was this about?
It wasn't a question of whether Athena was attractive.
Xu Mu already had Cynthia in his heart.
There was no room there for anyone else.
He saw the look in Cynthia's eyes.
And he understood.
Seeing Xu Mu act this way,
Cynthia was delighted!
That was more like it.
Xu Mu saw her smile too.
He smiled back at her
and said:
"Cynthia!"
"Don't worry!"
"I understand!"
At his words, Cynthia smiled faintly.
Then she walked back toward the battlefield.
It wasn't anything more complicated than that.
Xu Mu's actions alone
were enough to put Cynthia at ease.
Athena saw the exchange between them.
She was about ready to lose her mind.
What was this supposed to be?
The way those two carried on,
it was as if she weren't even there!
Xu Mu saw her expression
and gave a faint smile.
"Cynthia didn't like that."
With that, he stopped paying Athena any attention.
Athena was at a loss.
She wanted to go help,
but she couldn't even get over there!
What was she supposed to do?
So Athena said to Xu Mu:
"Wait here a moment!"
"I'm going to warm up!"
Xu Mu gave a disdainful laugh.
What?
She wanted to warm up?
At that thought, Xu Mu said to Arceus beside him:
"You hear that?"
"Athena wants to warm up!"
"Go give her a hand!"
At Xu Mu's words, Arceus finally moved.
As Arceus approached,
Athena caught sight of him.
Her face nearly turned green.
Damn it!
I've had enough!
I'm not putting up with this anymore!
