Xia Qingran looked at Zhou Fan, a peculiar light flickering in her ice-blue eyes.
A moment later, a heart-stirring smile curved her lips.
Her lips parted as she said softly, "Sure, then I'll be counting on you in the Void Rift this time~"
"No problem!"
Xia Qingran had helped him so much.
Back when he was at Xinghai University, she had given him cultivation resources, access to the Gravity Training Room, and even the Star Shatter Halberd.
Without the Star Shatter Halberd, Zhou Fan would never have awakened "Peerless."
And even without any of that, it would have made no difference.
He and Xia Qingran were friends. There was no way he would stand idly by and watch the Ice Spirit Body eat away at her.
He couldn't do it.
"All right~ I've pretty much said everything I wanted to say, so I'll head back now."
Xia Qingran stretched languidly, her full chest pushing her T-shirt into a rounded curve that was a pleasure to behold.
"Oh, right, Senior. There's something I've been meaning to give you, but I kept forgetting."
"What is it?"
Zhou Fan took something out of his storage space-a ring!
"This is..." Xia Qingran stared at the ring in his palm, covering her mouth in shock as surprise flickered in her eyes.
"Xiaofan, isn't this... a little too fast?"
"Huh? Not at all. Even before I came to the Imperial Capital, I was thinking about giving you this ring someday. I was going to give it to you on my first day here, but I got busy and forgot."
"Good thing I remembered now, or I would've forgotten again," Zhou Fan said.
"You... wanted to give it to me that long ago?" Looking at the ring, Xia Qingran hesitated over whether to accept it.
It wasn't
