Chapter 1705 Same Tattoo (1/2)
When Han Sen first saw the Nine-Life Cat symbol on Zero, he thought it was just a sign associating her with Blood Legion in some way. Now that Han Sen was thinking about it, he realized the symbol was just like the tattoo on his back.
Zero could enter the sanctuaries without issue, unlike others who were subject to limitations and restrictions. She never had to go through a formal ascension process, either.
Now Han Sen was thinking that if Zero had a Nine-Life Cat symbol like his, the mystery was practically resolved.
Old Cat had said that having Nine-Life Cat blood meant you could come and go in any sanctuary as you pleased. It was a fine explanation for why Zero was able to enter any of the sanctuaries, without ascending the proper way.
And Zero teleported to Han Sen whenever or wherever he ended up. That was something else that went against the pre- established system of the sanctuaries. That was similar to what had happened to Han Sen when he ended up next to Old Cat.
If Zero's tattoo was the same as his, that meant they shared a weird connection of some kind. They might have been one- and-the-same, and that was why Zero would always spawn next to him.
Han Sen thought this was very possible. He'd only ever had one brief look at her Nine-Life Cat tattoo, though, so he couldn't quite remember the details. He didn't know if it was exactly the same one that was on his back.
Seeing Zero, who was currently treating his wounds, he thought to himself, ”She's a grown woman. I can't ask her to take her clothes off so I can inspect her.”
Han Sen thought about this conundrum for a while, but he couldn't come up with an excuse that would permit him to get a look at her tattoos.
”Zero, you haven't bought any new clothes in a long time. How about we go and get you some later?” Han Sen looked at Zero's clothes. He only had to make her wear something that revealed her back, and he would see the tattoo.
”No, I have enough,” Zero said calmly.
”But I need to. You are a beautiful girl and you need to dress up pretty. If you don't, people will find out I've been cheap on you. I will handle this for you, okay?” Han Sen said that all at once, not giving her another chance to respond.
Zero did not say anything, either. Once she had dealt with Han Sen's wounds, she left.
Han Sen was on the sofa browsing Skynet. He bought a few different garments for Zero.
He bought a number of different clothes to hide the ones he truly wanted her to wear~the ones that would display her back.
Of course, he wasn't dumb enough to buy a lot of different clothing that all showed her back. That would be too obvious, and it'd be like he was making a statement. By buying a bunch of different styles, she'd be none the wiser.
Two days later, the clothes were delivered by a drone. Han Sen called Zero over and convinced her to try them on, one by one.
And when Zero wore the clothes that revealed her back, Han Sen was delivered quite the surprise.
Zero's appearance hadn't changed much, but she had grown up a lot. She was a woman now. She looked very beautiful in the dress he got her, and Han Sen couldn't stop admiring her looks.
Zero walked around, with Han Sen staring keenly at her back. He also took a photo, for future investigation.
