Sandra was taken aback and couldn’t help but tease, “Isn’t this a little late for a rebellious phase?”
Maria chuckled and said, “Perhaps, but you see, even extreme sports enthusiasts climb skyscrapers with their bare
hands. They know the risk of falling and getting seriously hurt or even killed, but they still do it. It’s the thrill of
adventure and the sense of achievement after conquering something so daunting. When most people look at
skyscrapers, they admire them from below. But for me, seeing a skyscraper triggers the desire to conquer it with
my own hands, without relying on anything else. The sense of accomplishment from doing that can keep them
happy for a long time.”
Sandra pondered for a moment and then said, “I advise you to be cautious and sensible. If this decision goes
wrong, there might not be a chance to correct it.”
Maria lowered her head briefly before lifting it again with determination. “I know myself. I don’t have the power to
kill Morgana in this life. If I manage not to get killed by her, that’s already a great success. But even if I can’t kill
her, I have the opportunity today to defy her with my actions. Didn’t she dream of catching me? Well, she’ll never
imagine that I’ll be right under her nose at this very moment. If I succeed, then I win one in the cat-and-mouse
game we’ve been playing all these years. And when she’s gone, she won’t be able to claim victory over me. I’ll win
to the very end! One day in the future, I’ll make sure she knows that I, Maria, wasn’t just running and fleeing from
her all my life. I dared to stand up to her and laugh in her face, no matter how powerful she was. I, Maria, would
still triumph over her!”
Sandra saw the excitement and eagerness in Maria’s eyes and began to understand her true feelings. She had
been evading Morgana for over 300 years, running and hiding like no one else in the world. In this life, she might
not have the strength to seek revenge, but she could make a statement with her incredible courage, slapping
Morgana in the face right under her nose.
Sandra felt a bit infected by Maria’s determination and said, “If that’s the case, we don’t need someone to pretend
to be a spy. I’ll stay here with you and wait for Morgana to come. I want to see for myself
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwhat kind of person she really is.”
Maria asked in surprise, “Young Master, are you really willing to accompany me?”
Sandra nodded with a smile, saying, “Absolutely.”
Maria spoke earnestly, “Walking on this tightrope is like standing on the edge of a cliff. One mistake and it’s fatal.”
Chuckling, Sandra replied, “If you’re not afraid, then why should I be?”
Maria smiled, sincerity shining in her eyes and said, “Your words satisfy me. But I’m different from you, I have no
one to rely on, no family or loved ones. Death is not something I fear, in fact, it’s a release. So I want to stay here
alone. I don’t want to put you in danger, Young Master.”
Sandra waved his hand dismissively, “I can’t persuade you and you can’t persuade me either.”
Maria insisted, “This is a personal feud between me and Morgana.”
“True,” Sandra said coolly. “I have my own grievances with her. Though she didn’t kill my parents directly, she is still
the Mastermind behind their death.”
Quickly, Maria proposed a plan, “I’ll stay here today to face Morgana and you can find another opportunity to kill
her in the future. How about that?”
Sandra shook his head, looking into Maria’s eyes and said seriously, “From now on, everything related to Morgana,
you’re with me. Today, I’ll stand with you to defy her and in the future, you’ll stand with me to eliminate her. We’ll
face her together.”
Maria didn’t know what to say for a moment. Her perception of Sandra began to blur and tears welled up in her
eyes. She wiped away the tears and smiled softly, saying, “Thank you for your kindness.
From this day forward, my life is intertwined with yours.”
In a picturesque setting, Sandra and Maria strolled through the Ancient Town, clad in matching outfits. Rather than
rushing to buy camping gear, they decided to take a leisurely tour of the town first.
As they wandered, Maria’s eyes lit up with nostalgia. Despite the changes that had taken place over the years, she
still discovered fragments of her childhood memories. Pointing to a stone bridge they approached, she excitedly
grasped Sandra’s hand and exclaimed, “Honey, I used to cross this very bridge multiple times when I was young!”
Ishac, surprised, inquired, “Are you absolutely sure it’s this bridge?”
Maria confidently pulled him toward the bridge, where she pointed to a bluestone slab with a gap and recounted
the tale, “This is the one. A frightened horse once caused that break. It belonged to a stonemason who was
transporting two stone sculptures to the chieftain’s new house. When the horse got anxious and struggled, it
overturned the cart and one of the stone sculptures fell on the bridge, creating this gap.”
As she narrated the story, Maria continued, “I happened to be visiting the chieftain with my grandfather from the
ancient city of Dali that day, so I witnessed the entire incident.”
Sandra couldn’t help but imagine the dramatic scene she described in his mind.
Meanwhile, a lively little girl, dressed in traditional Hanfu attire and munching on candied haws, bounced onto the
bridge. Her father, carrying bags and drinks, followed along leisurely.
Maria followed the girl with a fond smile on her face and turned to Ishac, saying, “Back then, I was just a little
younger than her.”
Playfully winking at Ishac, she added, “But I can tell you, the clothes I wore back then were even prettier than hers
and the beanbags my grandma embroidered for me were unrivaled in all of the southern province. Nowadays, the
garb worn by young girls lacks the same charm as the traditional outfits.”
Recalling how exquisite Maria looked in her Hanfu during their meeting in Northern Europe, Sandra curiously asked,
“When we met in Northern Europe, where did you buy the clothes you were wearing?”
With a shy smile, Maria replied, “I made them all by myself. I learned the art of female red embroidery from my
grandma, but unfortunately, she passed away before I could master all of her techniques.”
For the next few hours, Sandra and Maria continued their exploration of the ancient town. Once their shopping was
done, they headed to an outdoor goods store to purchase camping equipment.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs they were pretending to be a couple, they decided to buy a tent, sleeping pads, light sleeping bags, and camping
lights. Sandra even thought it wise to get folding chairs, a folding table, and some daily necessities to help blend in
with the group of outdoor enthusiasts planning to camp on the mountain.
He believed that establishing a good relationship with them would provide valuable cover when Morgana arrived. So
he also picked up some high-end spirits and fresh ingredients, intending to share a drink and a meal with the
campers and become better acquainted.
As the sun started to set, Sandra and Maria returned to Turtle Back Mountain with their newly purchased
equipment.
The other outdoor enthusiasts had already set up eight tents and were now enjoying the serene beauty of the
sunset while preparing dinner.
Observing the couple’s arrival with the equipment, the friendly young man, Master Hector, called out to them, “Hey
there, we thought you guys might not make it, but look who’s here!”
Sandra glanced at Maria with a smile and explained, “My girlfriend insisted on camping, so I had to accompany
her.”
Master Hector gestured to an open space near their tents and said, “We’ve reserved a spot for you, over there.
We’re planning to have a bonfire party, grill some skewers and enjoy a great meal together!”
Sandra thanked him and mingled with the group, handing over a bag containing drinks. “I was going to treat you to
drinks so I brought some wine for us to enjoy tonight!”
Master Hector grinned, taking out an acoustic guitar, “Sounds like a perfect plan! Let’s eat, drink and sing our
hearts out under the stars! There’s no need to worry about disturbing anyone up here in the mountains!”
