She's telling me... to go in and try?
Listening to what the girl in front of her was saying, Shenhe couldn't help but feel as if she were having an auditory hallucination.
At first, she had thought this girl was just an ordinary girl.
Although she later quickly sensed a fearless aura about her and felt she wasn't ordinary, that was the extent of it—just a girl who was utterly fearless.
After that, the girl suddenly disappeared, only to reappear inside her master's abode, without even being detected by her master, who is an Adeptus.
It was only then that she began to realize this girl was not so simple.
After all, if even her Adeptus master couldn't detect her intrusion into the abode, then that changed everything.
But even so, she never imagined this girl would know Rex Lapis, and even make him unwilling to reveal her identity. This was simply beyond her imagination.
So after communicating with Rex Lapis on Mt. Tianheng, she knew that girl was an extraordinary existence, an entity on the same level as Rex Lapis, or perhaps even beyond him.
And it was with this understanding that she now saw the girl holding takeout noodle dishes in both hands like an ordinary person, which she found truly bizarre.
Now, she genuinely didn't know which of her several impressions of this girl was the correct one.
Could it be... that none of them were right?
After pondering for a good while, Shenhe couldn't help but think this.
"Hey, hey..."
Shenhe: "!"
Suddenly seeing the girl extend a hand towards her, Shenhe subconsciously jumped back a great distance.
However, when she stopped her retreat, she saw that the girl hadn't actually done anything and was still standing in the same spot.
It was just that the hand she had extended was now withdrawn, and she didn't know what was going on.
Right... Did she say something just now?
Amidst her confusion, Shenhe recalled that the girl seemed to have said something, but at that moment she thought the girl was about to attack, so she hastily retreated and didn't hear clearly.
He-hey...? Was she trying to say 'why'?
After trying hard to recall, Shenhe still didn't know what the girl had said.
And just as Shenhe was still bewildered, Kiana, who was standing at the noodle shop's entrance, was a bit speechless herself.
Originally, seeing Shenhe frozen in place for so long, she had wanted to reach out and wave a hand in front of her to confirm she was still there. But she had only extended her hand halfway when Shenhe had already retreated a great distance, forcing her to awkwardly retract her half-extended hand and continue holding the noodle dishes she had just shifted to her other hand.
I didn't do anything back then, did I?
Gazing at Shenhe, who was some distance away, Kiana couldn't help but review what she had done not long ago on Mt. Aocang.
She remembered that at the time, she had completely bluffed Shenhe and her master with words alone, without making any physical moves.
So she also found it very strange why Shenhe would react so strongly to her, as if she had done something to Shenhe that would anger both gods and men.
Wait a minute! Could it be that Zhongli described me as too terrifying?
As she thought about it, Kiana suddenly thought of Zhongli.
She knew that by now, Shenhe and her master must have already met Zhongli.
But then again, she felt Zhongli wasn't the type to exaggerate things.
Whatever... It's fine... As long as the master and disciple believe I'm the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, that's all that matters...
Deciding not to overthink it, Kiana took a few steps forward, which immediately put the confused Shenhe on high alert.
"I'm not going to eat you, what are you afraid of?"
Looking at Shenhe like this, Kiana said in a joking tone.
Although her current appearance, holding takeout noodle dishes in both hands, didn't quite match her identity as the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles and might even arouse suspicion, Kiana wasn't worried about it.
Because her power far surpassed that of the real Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, she was the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, even if she was currently holding takeout noodle dishes in both her left and right hands.
As long as a person's power is great enough, someone will always find a reasonable explanation for all their actions.
"What... are you going to do?"
After watching the other person for a long time, Shenhe finally, slowly asked this question. She still couldn't figure out what was happening.
Why would this girl, whose identity even Rex Lapis was unwilling to speak of, be here buying so many noodle dishes?
Does she have other companions? And... she likes noodles?
Thoughts like these kept popping into Shenhe's mind, so she had no choice but to ask.
Although she might not get an answer, it was better than not asking.
"You can't possibly be unable to read the characters up there, can you?"
In response to Shenhe's question, Kiana, without turning her head, pointed with her finger at the sign hanging above the entrance of the noodle shop behind her.
A noodle shop? Hmm... She's just here to eat noodles?
And even... got so much takeout...
