88 Glass Skywalk (1/2)

Hui Yin was oblivious to the attention that she was getting, because she had long since thrown away her vanity.

From her experience in her previous life, Hui Yin realized that beauty could fade away, and clinging to it would only bring you disappointment.

It was a fleeting mask, one that you should stop depending on as you age.

Now, Hui Yin didn't even bother to put on make-up. The important thing was that she had a pair of eyes, a nose, a mouth, and her limbs were all intact.

What 'beautiful, silky hair'?

It was just the thing attached to her scalp that distinguished her as a female.

”I thought the 999 steps were the most exhausting part, but this walkway path is not a piece of cake either.”

Hui Yin shook her head.

They had just come from 'Heaven's Gate', and although there was an escalator for climbing down, going up via the 999 steps nearly depleted her stamina. It was only because Lu Shen didn't seem to be bothered by it that Hui Yin persevered. No matter what, she could not let that bastard beat her on anything. Her pride could not let it.

There were more tourists around the 'Heaven's Gate', so Hui Yin was more annoyed than impressed by the view. Even more so when she noticed that some cameras were starting to point on their direction, while their owners merely giggled and pretended to snap photos of the view again when they were caught.

Lu Shen's face was nearly hidden by the cap and the sunglasses, and yet he could still attract so much attention.

Hui Yin clicked her tongue. It would have been better to tour Zhangjiajie without him.

At last the two of them reached the glass skywalk, which was the highest section of the cliff-hanging walkway. All visitors were required to rent special textile slippers at the entrance, and Hui Yin wiggled her toes inside her new satiny shoes as she waited for their turn.

”It's very high up,” Lu Shen said suddenly. ”The driver said that it's a 4,700 foot drop above sea level. You're not scared of heights?”

Hui Yin scoffed at this. What was she, a little kid? If it was made to be a tourist attraction, then it was relatively safe. What was there to be scared of?

She finally realized the problem as she stepped on the glass skywalk. There was the word 'glass' on its name, which should have informed her that this particular walkway was made of glass.

And because it was made of glass, it kindly allowed a person to clearly see what would happen if someone ever did fall off the 4,700 foot drop.

Hui Yin abruptly crouched down, taking in deep breaths.

Lu Shen leaned casually in front of her, helpfully narrating what the driver had informed them before they arrived at Tianmen mountain.
