“bleeeergggghhh”
after about five minutes, felicie finally rose back up as zeras passed her the water bottle. she washed her face before collapsing weakly on her back.
“what?” she asked, noticing zeras’s expression of disbelief.
“oh, nothing.”
“quit acting tough. i have been in the sky for eight hours straight now, being soared forward faster than a horse. how did you expect me to handle the pressure? not like you’ve been through much worse, have you?” felicie hmped as zeras shrugged.
“how many hours more do we need to wait for you to get back to normal?” zeras asked.
“i’ve recovered enough...” she said as zeras immediately prepared to continue moving on his path when suddenly, his eyebrows furrowed as his neck jerked behind him with horrific speed, and his eyes narrowed dangerously before his expression immediately turned grave.
“what’s wro...” felicie had yet to finish her words when she felt herself yanked up. in the next instant, the entire world became a blur as zeras ran with his fastest speed, quickly disappearing into the distance at twice the former speed he was using before.
‘that aura. it’s too strong...’ zeras thought to himself, his heart racing madly within his chest as he hurriedly moved through the air, parting space with the power of his physical body.
“hey, you’re moving too fast. what’s wrong...” felicie struggled to say, finding the air rapidly slapping against her exposed hands and turning them ruby red. but zeras didn’t even have time to pay attention to that, focusing on racing as quickly as he could.
after running relentlessly for close to another seven hours straight, with the moon already appearing on the horizon, zeras finally got down before an ordinary side of a mountain cliff.
shrrriiiing
the sound of his katana leaving its sheath rang out as he sliced open a circular wall on the mountain surface and entered into it, before rolling the stone back to where it was.
“huuuuuuu,” a sigh of relief escaped felicie’s lips as she got down and laid on her back, her bones cracking from having remained in the same position for a long while. strangely, there was an opening in the extra-large cave that they were in, causing light from the starlight to illuminate the area.
she could see zeras standing at the locked entrance, his hands raised to her signaling for her to be quiet, and his ears were pressed against the door, his eyes rolling within their sockets with speed.
‘they’re gone...’ zeras thought to himself, exhaling in relief before he slid down the wall, turning to look at the bright starlight, his eyes flashing with familiarity and his trolled expression disappearing quickly from his face.
“are we being tracked?” felicie asked as zeras finally turned his attention to her before he shrugged expressionlessly.
“don’t worry about it...” he said, waving her off, before bringing out her bag from his storage ring.
“we stay here for the night, we resume at the dawn of the morning. i can already see the end of the mountain range a few hours earlier. we will be able to leave this place tomorrow...” he said to her before rising up and moving to the area where the starlight was concentrated and laying on the ground, his eyes soon closing up as he tried to reign in his energy.
then, zeras could sense a familiar aura. an aura that he knew well who it belonged to. it was none other than those white aliens who have managed to slip away from his grasp. he had thought it was krama that had brought him back to them, but there was something different.
something enough to make zeras immediately give up and run.
“can you tell me how the ladies of the upper realms are?” she suddenly asked him. zeras raised an eyebrow at the strange question but obliged after seeing her curiosity.
“well, the person i was running from was a lady...” zeras replied to her as felicie raised an eyebrow before laughing out loud.
“you ran so fast, i thought a wild beast was chasing you.
but it was actually just an otherworlder lady? seriously, just how spineless are you?” felicie mocked as zeras grinned, shaking his head.
“oh, then what would you have done if you were me?” he asked her curiously, and she didn’t even think twice before answering.
“i would have simply wooed her...”
“oh, wooed her!? in what way?”
“maybe start by telling her that her eyes are beautiful.
then strike up a heartwarming conversation where you pay serious attention to each and everything she has to say, making sure to sigh in compliments.
i’m sure if you had done that, she wouldn’t have done anything uncourtly towards you, and you would have even made a new girlfriend...”
cough
cough
cough
the sound of coughing could be heard as zeras suddenly felt a pain assaulting his chest as he turned to felecie wondering if she was just kidding him but her serious expression said otherwise.
“you actually think the best thing would have been to talk out way out?” zeras asked as felicie currieed her eyebrows cross checking her ideas once more before she ultimately nodded.
“yes that’s the best thing you ought to have done...” she replied more than conviced.
“well then i think i now have your answer for how the upper realm ladies are. firstly, they do not think of themselves as ladies. they wouldn’t even blink at all before slicing off a man’s head so far he is weaker than them.
there’s almost no difference at all between male and female in the upper realm. all are cultivators or awakeners.
also they’re smart enough to know that love is impossible to find in such a world. its purpose is for a single thing only and that is to come together to create an even stronger bloodline.
so they don’t turn red like tomato anytime a man talks to them. like you...”
“you!!!
