"Ugh, this woman can't take a hint, still forcing a conversation," Milly spat.

"It's not that bad."

"Brother, why are you siding with an outsider?"

Francis looked at Milly in surprise, "What, getting jealous? What's wrong with a man having three or four wives? Weren't you the one who forced your way in?"

Uh, this... "That's different. Feng Yi and I were childhood friends, betrothed since we were kids."

"But didn't you force your way in too?"

"Can you put it another way?"

"Have you gotten with Feng Yi or not?"

Milly glared at her brother with wide eyes for a while, remaining silent...

Those other women are all quite bothersome. Though they're nothing special, there are just so many of them.

Jiu Ling is at bronze level, so is Nangong Qi. The highest is Angelina at gold, but luckily there's no more contact. Elysis is silver level. The most troublesome would be Mengdie, very capable, I can't see through her. She's probably between gold and master level, how else could she have given birth to Feng Luo and Feng Wu? It seems necessary to visit the Jade Clear Sect with Grandpa Lasso.

——

Galactic Battle Network.

Feng Yi agreed, nodded, and didn't mind seeing what the email said. He quickly logged off and then fell into brief contemplation…

Reiko also remembered the past at the same time.

Her sister always admired the strong. She and Lily had a pact, an agreement to entrust themselves to men who could defeat them; whoever could beat them would marry them…

Apparently, this was just Reiko's playful talk back then. She didn't expect that soon after, during a battle with the Four Sisters of Eluma, Lily unfortunately died, which was a big blow to her.

The promise with her sister never left her mind, like a phantom. To this day, Dilia is already married while she's still single. Even though they belong to different factions, their relationship has always been good, and they still often keep in touch. Otherwise, they wouldn't watch battles together.

But wouldn't inviting someone out of the blue be too abrupt? They don't know each other well. Their knowledge of each other is based on mobile suits. In other words, they have met in the past, heard of each other, and fought a total of three times, nothing more.

Today, Feng Yi revealed his true self. In this era of judging by appearances, Feng Yi's looks made her calm heart skip a beat, suddenly recalling the agreement with Lily, and thinking it might not be so bad.

But how does she bring it up? The CP rumors outside are all over the place. Maybe she can play along with this topic jokingly?

Not to mention, you're the extraordinary Feng Yi, dazzling and unmatched. The other party isn't just anyone either.

The proud flower of Weibang, darling of the world, top-notch white-dressed figure, and also the star of the St. Roland prestigious academy. By comparison, it seems she can't quite measure up. So embarrassing, so humiliating! Let's see if he replies. He probably won't ignore it since, in a certain sense, he is familiar with Revenge Shadow Rider.

The next day.

Feng Yi pushed open the door and woke Zi Yu: "Time to get up."

"It's not even light yet, why so early?"

"Different dimensions, the sun rises later in the north. If you don't get up, I'll splash you with water."

"No, no, no, I haven't got anything on yet." Zi Yu's face turned red immediately, "Brother Feng, can you step out?"

"Of course." So Feng Yi chose to turn around and avoid.

This… she's a grown woman!

Zi Yu sighed softly, helpless. She was used to it. If she didn't understand Brother Feng's character, she could totally sue him for indecent exposure. Go ahead, act however you want.

"We're going to camp out for a period next, you better be prepared."

Zi Yu slowed her dressing, "Camping for a period?"

"Heh, you must be looking forward to it."

"Wow! Zi Yu doesn't want to camp, no way, it's so cold outside..."

"Crying won't help, you don't have a choice."

Feng Yi tossed a bag next to Zi Yu, saying, "There are fire stones, a dagger, tent, compass, and some tools. Try to sustain yourself through your own efforts. If you don't want to get frostbite, always keep your energy flowing to resist the cold."

Zi Yu was stunned for a few seconds: "Then what will I eat?"

"Live off the land, starve if needed, your call."

"Then you..."

Feng Yi took out a chicken drumstick, "I'm of course eating this."

How heartless!

Zi Yu, quick-eyed and fast-handed, instantly attempted a sneak attack to secure something for herself, but failed.

"There's no shortage of dry grass and firewood in the mountains during winter; you can catch some wild rabbits and roast them to eat."

"Rabbits are so cute, I don't want to kill them."

"But you do love eating meat. Don't have double standards with me—um, you'd better get dressed first."

Zi Yu was stunned, only then realizing her upper body was still...

At the next moment, Feng Yi jumped out of the room.

He had arrived at the snow mountain peak half an hour later.

Feng Yi explained to Zi Yu that her attributes leaned more towards water, and in the harsh cold environment could potentially trigger the second characteristic of water, known as freezing. He was even certain that Zi Yu had a latent freezing attribute within her. As for how to trigger and master it, it depended on her own efforts.

"Can I do it?" Zi Yu looked at her hands.

"I believe you can. To evoke inner attributes, it's best to understand and perceive the natural environment — before nature humanity is fragile, resisting becomes an ailment, utilizing is fortunate, going against the flow is harmful, aligning with it is advantageous. The reason I can control the storm's force is not purely by brute strength."

"Not brute strength?"

"Yes, when you try to get close to nature and maintain a high degree of alignment with it, nature will naturally come to you."

"I still don't quite understand."

Feng Yi smiled: "Xixi once asked the same question as you."

"Xixi from that legendary team?"

"Yes, she said she wanted to learn the Third Rhythm. I told her that learning the Third Rhythm first requires understanding the universe, perceiving the universe, becoming close to the universe, aligning with the universe. This is a macro phenomenon reflection, similar in essence to perceiving the freezing attribute, yet surpassing this scope — she was nearly impossible to succeed, but you can."

"Why couldn't she succeed?" Zi Yu still felt a bit confused but caught the key point in the conversation.

"There are many reasons, which aren't for you to understand now. Go and try to break through yourself, I believe in you."

"No way." Zi Yu grabbed Feng Yi who was turning to leave: "Brother Feng must clarify, otherwise Zi Yu will not practice."

"I've explained it clearly."

"Then why can't Xixi succeed, if she can't succeed, doesn't that make practice meaningless?"

"It's not as you think."

Feng Yi truly didn't know what to say, you called me a dead ghost brother before, forgot how I came back to life, used to believe grandfather died, forgot how he returned? Everything in the world is but a thought-formed memory...

He said to Zi Yu: "The Third Rhythm transcends, if she cannot transcend, she cannot succeed."

"Transcend? What is transcending?"

"See, you don't understand the word transcend."

"I just can't comprehend Brother Feng your words."

Feng Yi rested his chin, saying: "According to your understanding, the past and present are absolute, are unchangeable, for instance, I am your brother, this is but a term defined by humans — in the world there doesn't really exist a brother, nor the past and future, don't you feel you're hearing a logically chaotic pseudo-thesis?"

Zi Yu nodded...

"The term brother is merely a human-defined concept, is being born first necessarily a brother, this is just your cognitive memory of logic. Take the word itself for example, transcendence also counts as a cognitive inertia. We often say light is an absolute state, nothing material transcends light, this is akin to sitting in a well watching the sky, the frog always thinks the sky is small, only by breaking inertia is there true transcendence — because of the past, people have pain, because of fantasies about the future, people have longing. But I want to say the past and future don't exist, to prove their existence, humans tie them to time — transcendence is a pure state, when time ceases to flow, losing thought, there is no more pain and joy, achieving a quiet unity of mind and body is your initial understanding of transcendence."

"I still don't understand."

"Do you believe in God?"

"I believe in angels."

Unrelated answer, yet it was an angel, "That's the point."

Feng Yi spoke with authority, pointed to the sky swiftly, an indescribable human shape wrapped in holy light had already hovered at the horizon.

It had an almost perfect face, holding a magic crystal wand, its form seemed born from pure whim, humanity's lacking vocabulary struggled to describe.

Zi Yu's head bobbed like a chicken pecking rice repeatedly: "Yes yes, it looks exactly like that."

At this moment, only to see the 'angel' casually wave, a several kilometers long six-pointed star array successively manifested in the void, like clouds adorning the horizon.

But in the next second, terrifying energy that made Zi Yu feel fearful gathered at the center of the magic array.

Boom...

Just one beam of light, half the snow mountain instantly became a sea of fire, the ground's high-frequency tremor made Zi Yu's beautiful eyes round wide, showing a panicked distortion, falling into semi-trance, this power was far beyond a nuclear bomb comparison!!

Transcendence.

Feng Yi waved his arm, the angel's actions stilled, the world turned grey, in an instant, everything destroyed was rapidly restored in a reverse form, except for him and Zi Yu.

"As you see, the imagined angel might as well be a devil, all these count as a projection of human consciousness, but on a transcendental level have no meaning. The reason Xixi finds it hard to succeed, to an extent, is that all she does doesn't hold meaning, yet we cannot deny her effort. Effort results in rewards, work brings returns, this is essentially foolishly coaxing empty-headed chicken soup, but I believe through effort the success people achieve is far greater than failure."

Zi Yu had an epiphany: "Vaguely understand, thank you Brother Feng."

"The wind can be taught." Feng Yi joyfully smiled at the words.

"Is there a reward, is there a reward, is there?"

"You wait here, don't move recklessly, I'll buy some oranges as a reward, I'll be right back."

Zi Yu bit her cherry lips, really thinking he is illiterate, but facing the current precarious situation, she uncharacteristically didn't retort.

"But what was that thing just now?"
