After Yuan left, Ren Xia turned to face Yu Ning and said, "Wait here for a bit. I have to take this idiot somewhere."
She gestured at Kulas, who stared at her with a frown.
"You really need to fix how you address me. I was once an Emperor, you kn—"
"Shut up, you big idiot, and follow me."
Without giving him any explanation, Ren Xia turned around and began flying away.
Kulas wanted to rebel and stay behind, but something in his guts warned him that he’d regret it, so he begrudgingly followed her.
However, without any cultivation, he was unable to fly and had to travel on foot. Fortunately, his powerful physique allowed each step to propel him forward like a missile, enabling him to keep up with Ren Xia without too much difficulty.
Of course, Ren Xia could have easily carried him using her spiritual energy, but she decided to let him run instead.
Moreover, Ren Xia’s speed would occasionally speed up, forcing Kulas to put in more effort.
"Hey! Where the hell are you taking me in this empty world?!" Kulas asked her after running nonstop for a few hours.
"Empty world? You speak as if you know this place at the back of your hands," Ren Xia sneered.
Kulas gritted his teeth and continued following her.
One hour... Six hours... Twelve hours...
In the blink of an eye, the two of them had been traveling for three days without rest. Even for someone like Kulas, he was starting to feel the fatigue.
"You know I just regained my body after spending countless years as a soul, right? How can you make someone like me run like this? You’re much more sadistic than before!" Kulas cried out loud.
"Consider this part of your training. A warm-up before the real thing," she calmly replied before going silent again.
After another four days, an entire week since Kulas started running, he started slowing down, and eventually, came to a complete stop.
Seeing this, before Kulas could even complain, Ren Xia spoke, "We can stop here, turn around, and return home to begin your training if that’s what you want, but you’ll regret not doing this."
"..."
Kulas silently glared at Ren Xia, who met his gaze with an uncharacteristically serious expression. He knew she loved to toy with him, but this didn’t feel like one of those times.
After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath and, without any words, started running after her again.
Ren Xia didn’t say anything either and continued to follow her route.
After nearly another week of traveling, Kulas finally noticed a change in the scenery—the faint outline of buildings rising along the horizon.
