Chapter 171 - 165 Monsters
Walking is the ultimate test of one’s perseverance. And perseverance, for Guan Kunling, is something deeply ingrained in her very bones.
Exiting the small town, there was a forest ahead. The river near the forest rushed fiercely, and the trees were dense and intertwined. Guan Kunling glanced at the long sword in her hand, and Tian Sangsang’s warning echoed vividly in her mind. Reluctantly, she caressed the smooth blade, stepped into the forest, dug a pit with her bare hands, buried the sword within, and slowly covered it with soil.
"This sword, I give to you. May it be your steadfast support, your arm that protects you always." The master’s voice rang clearly, "To ensure peace and completeness for both of us, forever."
At the riverbank, Guan Kunling scooped a handful of clear water, meticulously washed her hands, tidied herself up, then picked up the bag Tian Sangsang had given her and continued her journey.
As her hand caressed the surface of the bag, a faint, serene smile lit up her exquisitely beautiful face. Inside the bag were three apples, seven or eight apricots, five or six plums, a long string of longan, a huge orange, five buns, and a box of pastries.
The master couldn’t bear for her to go hungry and had personally packed these for her.
Guan Kunling rinsed an apricot and took a bite. Her teeth left marks on the golden-orange fruit, and ah... So sour. Sour enough to make her teeth ache. By the time she finished the apricot, she had already reached the city. Naturally, for someone like Guan Kunling, whose inner strength allowed her to cover great distances with ease—sometimes walking, at times sprinting, occasionally utilizing Qinggong, or even dashing across rooftops—it hadn’t taken long to travel from the town to the city.
The city was far livelier than the town, teeming with variety. There were people riding bicycles, others pedaling tricycles.
A flicker of confusion passed through Guan Kunling’s cool gaze. These contraptions were truly bizarre, likely a form of transportation.
A small car suddenly roared past her, causing her to step back in surprise. Monster!!! Instinctively, she reached for her sword...
Where’s my sword?
Buried.
