THE SEVENTH BASE

Chapter 363: Chapter 30: Caught in the Act Chapter 363: Chapter 30: Caught in the Act No matter how bustling a city is, there will always be a side that is old and worn.

Chuanxing City was no exception.

In an old street of Chuanxing City, where ordinary people lived, there were no advanced skyscrapers, only narrow streets that could just accommodate the passing of motorcycles, and one could always hear the roaring of engines.

Yet even here, the old screens on both sides of the street were broadcasting the Transcendent competition.

Many Mechanical Bodies walked on the streets, occasionally looking up at the screens and imitating the actions of the Transcendents in the competition, with envy visible in the faces within them.

In a noodle shop, Xu Mo found Zero’s ravenous eating quite adorable, quickly finishing off the noodles on the table and reaching for the small dish in front of her.

Sensing something, Zero looked up at Xu Mo and blinked.

“What are you looking at?” Zero asked.

“Looking at how cute you are,” Xu Mo said.

“Cute?” Zero’s expression was odd, as if no one had described her with these two words before.

Xu Mo realized that there was somewhat of a generation gap between him and Zero.

She had very little contact with the outside world.

“Is it delicious?” Xu Mo asked.

Zero nodded, it was indeed delicious.

“Then continue eating,” Xu Mo started on his noodles while Zero continued to munch on the small dish.

She was hungry!

Some in the noodle shop turned their gaze towards Xu Mo and Zero; one even doubted he was seeing correctly, intentionally walking by to get a clearer look.

“Xu Mo, Zero!”

He stared at the two figures; who had he seen?

It was unexpected to encounter two of the favored talents from the Transcendent competition here.

To them, characters like Xu Mo and Zero were people from the clouds.

He took out his Communicator, wanting to sneak a photo, but Xu Mo glanced his way.

“Can I take a picture?” the man asked timidly, seeming to lack courage.

“Make it look cool,” Xu Mo sat up straight while Zero kept her head down, continuing to eat her small dish, completely ignoring the two of them.

The man was dumbfounded—was it really that easy?

He then snapped several pictures, somewhat excitedly saying, “Thank you.”

He felt grateful inside.

Many others, hearing the commotion, turned their attention towards them.

Zero looked up at Xu Mo, put down her chopsticks, and finished off the small dish.

“Are you full?” Xu Mo asked with a smile.

“Yeah,” Zero nodded.

“Are you still angry?” Xu Mo asked again.

Zero ignored him.

“Let’s go,” Xu Mo said as the two got up and headed outside.

Many people started taking pictures with their Communicators, but they didn’t mind it.

It was just eating, nothing shameful.

As the two walked down the street, they still attracted many looks.

Even if they weren’t ‘celebrities,’ their good looks turned heads, not to mention the Transcendent competition had just recently ended.

A Mechanical Body walking on the road was startled when he saw Xu Mo approaching; he glanced at the screen and then back at Xu Mo, whispering, “My idol?”

Xu Mo looked up at him, waved his hand in greeting, and then walked past.

The pair left quickly.

For Zero, everything that happened today seemed to be a completely new experience, a life she had never lived before.

It seemed, quite interesting.

……

When Xu Mo and Zero returned to the castle, they were carrying a lot of things, all food.

Dark cuisine, one time was enough!

“Your mother’s not coming back, is she?” Xu Mo asked, somewhat concerned.

Zero’s expression became even weirder.

“She shouldn’t be,” Zero said.

“That’s good,” Xu Mo felt more at ease.

For the next round of fighting, he had to face Augustine, and he was not confident.

If Zero hadn’t brought him here for Cultivation, he might have given up hope, but now that he knew about the Cultivation Tower and that Zero gave up her spot for him, he couldn’t take it lightly anymore.

Regardless of winning or losing, he had to give it his all.

If he were to lose badly in the next match, it would be too disrespectful to Zero’s sacrifice.

So, he planned to Cultivate for one more day.

Xu Mo quickly entered the Cultivation Tower.

Zero stayed outside for a while, and knowing that Xu Mo wouldn’t come out so soon, she left on her own.

As time ticked by, it was evening.

After taking a bath and changing into a dress, Zero, holding snacks, arrived outside the Cultivation Tower, where Xu Mo was still inside, not yet come out.

Zero quietly waited outside, tearing open a packet of snacks and tasting them.

Her beautiful eyes brightened, and she began to eat with relish on her own.

When Xu Mo came out of the Cultivation Tower, he saw Zero sneakily eating by herself.

Seeing Xu Mo emerge, Zero’s hand stiffened, she paused for a moment, her eyes darting around, then she continued eating, saying, “You eat too.”

“Alright,” Xu Mo smiled and sat beside Zero, reaching for a packet of snacks, but before he could grab it, Zero snatched it away and hid it behind her back, glaring at Xu Mo.

“Uh…” Xu Mo blinked, really?

This worked?

Women!

He had no choice but to open another bag, and the two quietly ate.

On the vast courtyard outside the castle, a strong gust of wind appeared suddenly overhead, causing the trees below to shake violently and leaves to flutter.

A disc-shaped Flying Device appeared overhead and began to descend slowly.

Directly beneath the Flying Device, a section detached and also descended slowly, landing in the open area.

Four figures emerged from the Flying Device, with a beautiful woman leading—the one Xu Mo had seen before, Zero’s mother.
