The land mine meant to guard this place against intruders didn't bother me.
We kept hovering, and Min-Hee utilized her ability to make us invisible. We glided through the air for a few kilometers until the sense of danger dissipated.
After landing, we decided to take a brief break below a large tree, allowing me to replenish my Mind Power and provided them with a chance to rest.
"Time to eat!" Rei Mei exclaimed, stretching her arms as if she had just done all the hard work.
"Just give us the food," I ordered with a sigh. She was undeniably beautiful, but her energy was just too much. It's not like I hated her; in fact, I'm fond of her. I was just playing it cool because she's the type of girl men fantasize about but often get tired of after dating.
"What food? It's not on me," she shook her head .
"What do you mean? You're carrying the biggest bag here," I pointed out, emphasizing the fact that her bag was at least twice the size of mine. I didn't bother asking what was inside; because I assumed it was supplies.
"Oh, you mean my bag? These are just my clothes and essentials," she bit her tongue, trying to appear cute and innocent.
"Who brought the food then?" I asked.
In a forest like this, relying on foraged greens for survival seemed impractical. Although I did have some snacks with me, sharing wasn't an option if there was no other food available.
"Don't worry, Eun-ha has our back," Rei Mei reassured with a confident grin before turning her attention to the girl with the eye patch.
I observed her closely; she didn't have any bag with her. In fact, she was the only one unburdened, clad in her black sexy Gothic attire and holding only an umbrella.
"Forget it. Do you think a goddess like me would be easily swayed by a word of corrupted man like yourself?" She raised her eyebrows and continued to sip her cup of tea.
"Of course not," I laugh trying to ease the awkwardness between us.
'Damn it, I shouldn't have been rude to her. Remind me not to look down on people based on their hobbies,' I sighed to myself. I should have been more gentle and caring to her.
But it was already too late to regret my actions; all I could do now was fix our relationship.
The last thing I wanted to do was force her. I didn't want to end up in a dark, lonely space, spending thousands of years, only to emerge as a Godlike Martial Artist with space talent.
It was better to let her be. After all, I didn't have the patience of those MCs who could cultivate for 10,000 years and still be dumb as fuck. I'm also not some fictional character with a lazy author who loves to time-skip 10,000 years like it's not weird at all. That's just not my style.
"Hey, your power is really interesting. I can't believe how powerful you are," I complimented her, pretending to be amazed but secretly scheming to fool her. People with 8th-grade syndrome love it when others acknowledge them; I know it from experience.
I hated to admit it, but my 8th-grade syndrome back then was imagining myself as a handsome protagonist that can manipulate girls and fuck them.
"I'm amazing, right?" She suddenly did a 360 change in her attitude after hearing my compliment. However, when she realized that she broke out of character, she turned cold again.
"That's only normal. I'm a god among humans, after all," she scoffed with an arrogant flair in her eyes.
But after a couple of seconds, I noticed a gentle smile on her face, even though she had averted her eyes from me.
'This girl might be much easier to fool than Min-hee,' I chuckled to myself, noting her reaction.
