Chapter 189: Walking & Talking (2/2)

Xinya who wasn't really paying attention to the conversation that was going on behind him said, ”I'm sorry Melting Snow, I was thinking about something so I didn't hear your question.”

”That's alright, I'll just ask it again,” replied Melting Snow with a chipper tone. ”I said, didn't we come a long way from where the four of us started.”

Xinya could only assume that the boy was speaking metaphorically and not literally. Although he could be, both were possible. ”What do you mean by that?”

”You know! Look at how much better the team is. If you look back on when we fought the tall man until now, the difference is clear.” Melting Snow explained earnestly.

Laughing at the boy's serious face, Wei poked him on his cheek. ”Why do you sound like an old pro gamer that is judging our skill?”

”But I'm right aren't I?” Melting Snow stated, rolling his eyes at Roaming Wind.

Xinya felt the same as Melting Snow did, looking back on all of their previous battles the group had grown exponentially from what it was like before. Thinking back to their battle with the Tall Man, the craziness that was the Mormantul Lordului Nebun dungeon, fighting that Diamondback Armored Ctenophore, and finally the most recent Convert Atranoch, Xinya could see everyone's growth.

”You are right,” Xinya told the boy with a smile. ”We all have come a long way.”

Wei didn't know why, but after hearing Xinya agree with Melting Snow, it made her feel really happy. She knew that she was probably the weakest link in the group, but she had been trying to better herself, and she likes to think that she has.

She had learned her lessons clearly and she promises herself that in the future she will be someone that doesn't hold others back. 'This was just beginning,' She thought, feeling proud of her development so far.

”Although I agree with you both, I think we still have a long way to go.” Wandering Sound said. He knows that he has improved a lot, but when he thinks back to the battle on the boat, he feels like he could be better.

Shrugging his shoulders at Wandering Sound's words, Melting Snow says, ”Well as long as we go there together it doesn't matter.”

”Well aren't you profound,” Laughing Wei slung her arm around the boy's shoulder pulling him close.

”Eww, girl germs,” Melting Snow screeched half-heartedly trying to getaway. ”Drifting Cloud, save me!”

Xinya and the others just laughed at the boy's antics as they continued walking to their destination.
