Now that Meng Hao had returned in the most spectacular of fashions as the Demon Sovereign, there was nothing Zhixiang could do but sigh and bury her bitterness deep within her heart.
"You should have grabbed him when you had the chance," she murmured to herself. "Instead you lost him... lost him for all eternity." With that, she bowed her head and offered greetings to Meng Hao and Xu Qing.
Meng Hao apparently didn't notice the look in her eye. Considering they were old friends, he prevented her from offering extended formal greetings. Of course, he couldn't help but sigh when he noticed how much older she looked. Xu Qing, on the other hand, could sense what Zhixiang was thinking. After looking at her deeply for a moment, Xu Qing smiled.
Zhixiang was an old friend, but there was someone else in the Demon Immortal Sect who was even more important to Meng Hao. He absolutely had to go pay his respects to his older brother Ke Jiusi.
