"Didn't we agree on sword training?" Li Ang asked.

Zoe's expression froze.

The hesitant seconds proved that she forgot what she said the moment she decided to tease him.

After thinking for a long time, she stammered, "What I meant was, sword training is part of it. After all, spending time together like that makes me happy too."

Seeing that Li Ang didn't seem to react to her words, Zoe pursed her lips, wrapped her arms under her thighs, and lifted her legs up, pointing her little feet at him.

"What are you doing?"

"Something Li Ang likes."

Zoe tilted her head, her gaze passing over her knees to look at the anklet bells and silver chains around her feet in the Celestial Maiden Form.

"Do you not like the decorated look?" the Young Girl asked.

"I... do like it..."

"Then why are you just standing there?"

"It's precisely because I like it that I'm afraid my reasoning will go out of control."

In this form, the youthful fullness of the original soles couldn't be seen, but rather the refined curves of a trained Dancer.

Zoe tilted her head, seemingly not understanding his meaning.

"Does Li Ang not want to play with feet anymore?"

Zoe pouted, "So, in the end, I have to do it like Dorothy does. I can do it too. Come over here."

The Young Girl's cheeks blushed, and her little feet alternately lifted, the silver bells jingling, the delicate chains rattling.

"Didn't I mention before that you don't have to do that?"

"I also want to make Li Ang happy."

Zoe stood up, turned into a duck sitting on the bed, and unhappily slapped the quilt under her with her small hands.

"What I mean is, Dorothy is particularly out of line, and you're not familiar with the specifics."

"Then teach me."

Li Ang didn't know how to respond to such an eager Little Wild Cat, but she, as usual, brimmed with endless vitality and life force. In the moment of his hesitant contemplation, many thoughts were enough to turn around and many responses were made.

"You mean, like sword training, it starts simple and becomes harder. It's not that I can't, it's that I have to cultivate first?"

What do you need to cultivate? Li Ang felt that admitting her description made things worse.

"I guess you can understand it that way."

"Playing with feet is the first step, what's the second step?"

"That's not the way to understand it."

Li Ang walked up and pulled her up from the bed: "Let's practice sword training first."

In the Celestial Maiden Form, Zoe didn't even need to touch the ground. She stepped on air, and the three pairs of wings didn't need to flap to fly, they themselves ensured she would not fall.

So, she went up and stuck to Li Ang.

"What are you doing?"

"Sword training."

The Little Wild Cat giggled mischievously.

"Don't tell me, this is how you used to train."

"I didn't meet Li Ang before. Now that I have, this is how I train."

When Li Ang lost at Flowing Silver Combat Skill, he gave a professional guide to all team members. Since teaching Zoe was hands-on, she seemed to enjoy this feeling.

Li Ang took a step back, and she flew to stick to him. Because she could fly, becoming an attachment took no effort at all.

"Alright, alright, just like this."

He held her wrist, teaching her the Swordsman Skills she hadn't mastered.

Since he had already used Professional Points to accelerate her before, this time he didn't use System Skills. However, it was evident that Zoe wasn't really interested in practicing swordplay.

With just a few moves, her white wings almost wrapped around Li Ang.

"It's so hot," Li Ang said.

Upon hearing, Zoe laughingly flapped her wings, creating a breeze that swirled in the room, quickly dissipating a lot of the heat generated by their body contact.

"How is it now?"

"Mainly, you're like a heated stove."

What Li Ang said was true, although he wasn't regularly physically close with many people, just being somewhat near was enough to discern Zoe's situation.

She had abundant vigor, her body temperature was higher than others, and areas like her nape and palms, rich in blood flow, accumulated high heat after extended contact.

Zoe pouted, her skin's greenish glow faded, then turned ice blue.

Two azure ears popped up from her head, her fair skin etched with dark rune markings, her nails sharpened, her lips showing tiger fangs.

Transformed into the Ice Wolf Form, the room's temperature suddenly dropped.

"Is that better?"

Yet it dropped too much. Soon, after a few moves, Zoe, having turned and faced him, her small belly stuck to him, and Li Ang felt the cold sensation.

"Li Ang, why are your movements becoming more disconnected?"

"..."

What do you think?

"Are you tired?"

"Yes, I need to rest."

Zoe jumped up, her smooth and powerful legs clamping around Li Ang's waist, her arms hooking around the back of his neck, hanging on him.

"Hehe, you're not tired at all."

The Young Girl's cheeks brushed against his, blowing against his ear, whispering, "I know why that is, oh? Even though I'm not as knowledgeable as Dorothy, I've read about boys' reactions in books.

"I always thought Li Ang didn't like me transforming into these forms. It's strange, in the books, the heroine dresses for her boyfriend, and he's always thrilled. My changes are way bigger than just changing clothes."

The Little Wild Cat lowered her voice, asking quietly, "Or do you prefer me wearing nothing at all?"

"Just like this is good."

Li Ang didn't know what else she might say if he let her continue, so he quickly said.

He sighed, "You are pretty and cute to begin with, and the entire Nebis would struggle to find a girl like you."

"Really?"

The Little Wild Cat happily lifted her face from his shoulder, her eyes shining as she gazed into his.

On Satus Island, she certainly didn't understand these things.

But throughout this journey, she wasn't completely clueless. By seeing, comparing with teammates, and observing strangers' reactions and the general average, Li Ang felt she probably realized how good-looking she was.
