Chapter 704: Felicie’s Change 1

“That sounds like something made up just to specially annoy me...” Felicie replied, making sure to herself not to accept the devil’s evil camaraderie that seeks to mock her every time.

She couldn’t understand what type of pleasure one derives from looking down or mocking another. Not like the otherworlders weren’t strange people in the first place.

“It will be a long day tomorrow, Felicie. Go to sleep...” Zeras replied to her as he turned to the side, his breathing subsiding and entering into a constant low state that depicted his imminent slumber.

“Good night, Zeras...” Felicie whispered before she also closed her eyes, falling prey to sleep.

The starlight above illuminated the figures knotted into themselves, with their backs turned against each other. However, the starlight also revealed a darker truth about both of them.

A strange white aura oozed out from Zeras’ back, diving straight into Felicie’s body, causing her orange hair to blow erratically on her head as if lifted by a gentle breeze. Slowly, parts of her hair began changing to a silvery white, painting a striking yet beautiful picture.

The morning came quicker than ever, the golden rays of sunlight peeking through the open hole high in the cave and illuminating the singular figure that lay on the ground. It was none other than a female with a strange contrasting color of silvery white and orange hair.

“YYYAAAWWWN.”

A big yawn broke out of Felicie’s lips as she sat up, her eyes scanning through the cave area and coming to settle on a figure reclining in the dark shadows of the large walls, his astral blue eyes staring at her calmly yet failing to hide the confusion in them.

“Why are you looking at me like that? It’s already morning; we have to keep going...” Felicie chastised as Zeras grinned before moving out of the exit, giving her space to prepare herself.

Less than thirty minutes later, Felicie came out of the cave wall, finding the young man beside it who swiped his hand over the bag, and it faded into thin air.

“Exhausted?” The voice completed behind her as she turned to look at Zeras, who had his eyes locked onto the distant mountain range.

“Yes, I feel strangely alive today...” she said, jumping up a few times and realizing her body felt strange. It was light, incredibly so.

“The mountain range is divided into three paths somehow. I can’t see, but I’m thinking one or two of these three paths will lead to a dead end in the end, judging by how interwoven they are.

Just how do we even know the right path?” Zeras mused, looking at the spreading mountain range. He could tell they wove around into three paths.

If all his years of going through cultivation grounds were to tell him anything, it was that two of these paths would probably lead to a dead end, and only one would be right.

Unless he could fly high above and see everything, there wasn’t much hope for them but to pray they immediately come across the right path that will lead them straight out of this mountain range. Sometimes that wasn’t a surety but could only wish for the best.

“That’s the right path...” Felicie said as Zeras turned to her and noticed her pointing her hand to the utmost left side, the area where Zeras would bet the most on leading to a dead end due to how crisscrossed the mountain ranges were.

“Hmm, and how do you know that?” he asked doubtfully as Felicie’s eyes narrowed at his question, yet she was adamant.

“I know it!”

“How?”

“I can feel the right path is that place. And hey, I’m the navigator on this journey, not you! If I say that’s the right path, then it is the right path!”

“Ok, then, you’re the boss after all...”
