Little Cat stared at that relaxed, effortless figure from behind and could no longer look away.
Mist welled in her eyes. So there really were people in this world who would never abandon her under any circumstances, even if it meant making an enemy of an entire nation.
The group continued toward the hotel. It was sharp-eyed Little Rabbit who glanced back at the shattered ice scattered across the ground and cried out in surprise.
"There's a Spirit Bone!"
"Hm?"
Ning Bei turned at the sound and saw that, sure enough, just as Little Rabbit had said, a crystal-clear Spirit Bone was lying among the broken ice.
It was a Left Arm Bone, and its age should have been close to fifty thousand years.
After sweeping it over with his Soul Power, he grabbed it, glanced at it, and tossed it straight to Little Cat.
"It's something from Star Luo, so I'll leave it to you!"
Zhu Zhuqing fumbled as she caught the flying Spirit Bone.
"T-this, I can't take it! I already—"
"Just think of it as a reward for your brilliant performance in the match just now!"
Ning Bei waved a hand and settled the matter on the spot. Little Cat had already lost count of how many times she had been cut off today.
After tightening her grip on the Spirit Bone, Zhu Zhuqing looked around at her companions and found that everyone was looking at her with approval. Warmth stirred faintly in her heart.
"It's fine, Zhuqing. Brother already promised us, didn't he? Once we win the championship, everyone gets one Spirit Bone. Just think of it as taking your reward in advance."
Hearing that, Zhu Zhuqing no longer hesitated and put the Spirit Bone into her Soul Tool.
"Thank you, Brother Ning Bei, and everyone!"
