Feng Hao chuckled. He was long used to this girl's cute arrogance. He stepped forward, tweaked her little nose, and teased, "If you missed me, just say so. What's there to be embarrassed about?"
"Nonsense, nonsense! I am the invincible, beautiful girl of the universe! Why would I miss a mere mortal like you!" Xi Yueyao shook her head, batting away Feng Hao's hand. She struck a smug pose, as if showing something off to him.
Feng Hao watched her for a moment before he finally figured it out. A smile of realization spread across his face. "So you've advanced to the second rank. No wonder you're so smug."
"Hmph!" Xi Yueyao continued to preen smugly.
"Quick, tell me what second-rank talent you awakened," Feng Hao asked with great interest.
'After all, this girl is practically half a Dark Force Mage,' he thought. 'It's very possible she's awakened a branch talent that would suit me. Even if I can't graft it now, there's always a chance in the future.'
