However, more than a month later, on a similar moonlit night, Zi found himself drawn to the lakeside by an inexplicable force.
Compared to before, Zi's mood was even worse.
Fortunately, not long after Zi arrived, the mysterious "female mermaid" appeared once more.
"It seems your mood hasn't improved. Haven't you made up with your friend?" the female mermaid asked.
"We've reconciled. My troubles are not about my friend anymore but about someone else." Zi hesitated for a bit and then decided to speak his mind.
"I participated in an important competition, crucial to my tribe's honor. My opponent won, yet she gave me the most important trophy." Zi's voice was filled with unwillingness and confusion.
The trophy Zi referred to was the Dark Summoning Demon Hand acquired from the Bahuang Tower.
Even though it was Zi who left Bahuang Tower with the Dark Summoning Demon Hand, it was actually Rita who broke the Fighting Energy Showcase.
Yet Rita gave her hard-earned glory to him.
