after a while...

"Why are you following me?"

"No, you misunderstood. I didn't follow you. I just wanted to go up the mountain."

The girl nodded again, said nothing, and turned to continue walking.

Na Zhiyang remained unhurried, strolling and enjoying the scenery.

They continued until they reached the halfway point of the mountain, where the white-haired girl in front of them turned around again.

"Stop following me."

"I really didn't want to follow you, I just wanted to go to the top of the mountain."

The white-haired girl lowered her head, as if she were making a decision.

Na Zhiyang ignored her behavior and continued walking forward.

Just as they were about to get close, the white-haired girl suddenly adopted an attack stance.

"I told you not to follow me, and Master doesn't like being disturbed either. If you insist on coming..."

boom!

The white-haired girl raised her left foot and stomped it on the ground, making a loud noise and creating a small crater.

"Hmm? When?"

But when the white-haired girl looked at Na Zhiyang, the place was no longer occupied.

Turning around, she saw that the man had silently walked in front of her without her noticing at all.

Upon seeing this, the white-haired girl frowned at first, then chased after them.

Using the same method as before, he delivered a chop to Zhiyang's neck, seemingly intending to knock him unconscious.

Just as he was about to strike, Najiyo suddenly sped up a fraction of a second, and by sheer coincidence, he narrowly dodged the white-haired girl's attack.

This made the white-haired girl frown again.

This time, he simply caught up and punched the back of the head.

Similar to before, Na Zhiyang did not stop walking, but simply took a step to the side.

This time, the white-haired girl's voice came over with a touch of coldness, no, it should be said that it was indifferent.

"You are not an ordinary person."

"I never said I was an ordinary person... By the way, since we're bored anyway, how about we play a game?"

Naji stopped, turned around and looked at the girl behind him with a long white braid and several red ropes tied around her body. He continued to speak under the girl's puzzled gaze.

"How about this, I'll head up the mountain, and you try to stop me by any means necessary. If you win, I'll grant you one request. Once I reach the summit, you'll grant me one request, okay?"

"..."

The white-haired girl didn't speak immediately, but fell silent, as if she were thinking about something.

A moment later, a long spear suddenly appeared in the girl's hand, and her gaze, which had been indifferent, became even colder.

"it is good."

With a single word uttered, the girl charged forward, raising her spear and sweeping it forward.

Najiyo remained unhurried, only his movements were slightly faster, allowing him to dodge the attack.

After that, the girl began to use the power of the Eye of God.

...

Some time later, on the summit of Mount Ozo, a large bird watched the two people who were playfully fighting as they climbed the mountain and shook its head inwardly.

A fierce determination to never give up had been ignited in the heart of the white-haired girl.

It was just a hair's breadth away, no matter how fierce, swift, or unexpected one's attack was.

Every time, it's just a little bit short, even when I've given it my all.

They didn't even manage to touch this person, let alone stop him from going up the mountain.

As they walked straight in front of the large bird, Najiyo suddenly stopped, and the tip of the white-haired girl's spear stopped on Najiyo's lower back.

"I've won, miss. Surely you won't go back on your word?"

"Of course not... I'm sorry, Master, I couldn't stop this person and disturbed your meditation."

She first made a statement of affirmation, then the white-haired girl bowed to the bird beside her, which was taller than a person.

"It's alright, this is not something you can do. Go and rest, Shen He."

"Yes! Master."

Chapter 141: You're so outspoken, how did you know?

"We meet again, travelers from afar."

"Yes, it's been a few days, but True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng is still in such good spirits."

"Is there something you need to discuss?"

"No, not at all! I was just wandering around. Besides, even I find this difficult, so you guys can't help, right?"

"Hmph! So outspoken!"

On the floating island atop Mount Okuzō, Najihiro and the human-shaped Ryūun-gaku-shūjin sat at a stone table.

While sipping tea, they chatted about trivial matters, although it was mostly Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun who was doing the talking.

As expected of the True Lord Liuyun Borrowing the Wind, he was a master of conversation, keeping the conversation flowing smoothly from topic to topic.

The most exciting thing to talk about is Gan Yu when she was a child, Xiao before, or something like that in Liyue before.

What to say?

Oh, I should say that despite his youthful appearance, the mentality of the Flowing Cloud Borrowing Wind True Lord is that of an old man.

After all, older people tend to be nostalgic. (laughs)

"Alright, alright, where were we? Oh right! We should be talking about Shen He, Shen He when he was little..."

"Master..."

As they were talking, Shen He suddenly appeared, his expressionless face staring straight at Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun.

"Perfect timing, Shen He. I was just about to talk about you, when you were little..."

"Master..."

Shen He called out again, and put his hands behind his back. He had already taken the spear from the Eye of God and was holding it in his hand.

"Sigh~! Never mind, never mind, let's not talk about it anymore. Really, little Shenhe has grown up, he won't let people talk about him anymore. Is there something you want to say?"

"I lost to him, so I have to promise him one thing."

As he spoke, Shen He looked at Na Zhiyang and put away the spear in his hand.

"Alright, alright, I'll leave this place to you. I'll head back to my cave to rest now. Sigh!"

With another sigh, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun transformed back into his bird form and flew into his cave.

Lord Liuyun Jiefeng had not considered any other possibilities between the two of them.

She believed that a powerful person like Najiyo would not even consider women like them as potential partners.

Because of this idea, Lord Liuyun was surprisingly at ease.

If she knew what kind of person Najiyo was, she probably wouldn't have left so easily.

"Miss Shen He, why are you staring at me like that? Is there something you want to say?"

"..."

Shen He remained silent, simply staring at Zhi Yang.

Seeing this, Na Zhiyang said nothing and met Shen He's gaze directly.

The two stared at each other in silence for more than ten minutes.

Just when Najiyo thought it would continue for a while, Shen He deliberately turned his gaze away.

Then he raised his right hand and placed it on his heart, his expression becoming somewhat puzzled.

After waiting a while, Shen He looked over again.

"I lost, but I'll grant you one request."

After saying just that, Shen He went silent again, staring at Zhiyang without saying a word.

Okay! So you have to state your requirements yourself, then...

Let me make a special request: see if she shows any change in expression.

"Hmm, let me see, let me see if your development is normal, okay?"

"..."

Shen He didn't react, seemingly stunned, with a puzzled expression on his face.

After a while.

What does "normal development" mean?

"..."

This time, it was Najihiro's turn to remain silent.

Ah, I am truly deserving of death for speaking such a pure and innocent language.

"It's okay, don't worry about it. How about we be friends?"

"it is good."

...

"The feeling of breaking through the limiter seems pretty good?"
