The battle at Vermilion Bird City ended. The soldiers below began clearing the battlefield, while the assembled powerhouses returned to the city to rest...
After searching everywhere, Wu Shaozhen still could not find the Ice and Snow Empress. Even calling to her through their contract brought no response, so he finally had to give up. It seemed she had left to take care of something...
"That girl... she didn't even tell me where she was going," Wu Shaozhen grumbled.
"Don't you think she's a little different from before?" Zi You suddenly asked as she recuperated in the Pet Space.
"Different?" Wu Shaozhen paused, then seemed to remember something. "Now that you mention it, she really is a little different. Why did her hair turn silver...?"
"That's not the point. The point is that her demeanor has changed..."
Hearing Zi You's words, Wu Shaozhen thought back, then nodded seriously...
"Yeah, she really has changed. She's even colder than before. She saw me and didn't even say hello..."
"..."
"Something must have happened to her..." Zi You murmured to herself, an unreadable look flickering in her eyes...
Just then, Feng Yan walked over in her red battle armor and bowed deeply to Wu Shaozhen...
"Thank you! If it weren't for you, Vermilion Bird City would probably no longer exist..."
Wu Shaozhen shook his head. "There's no need to thank me. I'm human too, and I was the one who caused this in the first place. Of course I couldn't just stand by..."
"It doesn't matter who caused it. The war between Otherworldly Demons and humans has never needed anyone to start it. You deserve the greatest credit for our victory in this battle. If you ever need anything from Vermilion Bird City, we will devote every resource we have to helping you..."
