"Heh heh, ha ha, HAHAHAHAHA!"
On the beach, at twilight, Wu Wang's uncontrollable laughter grew even louder.
The bird, somewhat wary, perched on a distant rock. The Short Sword was stuck three inches deep in the rock before it, clearly startled by Wu Wang's laughter.
Once again transforming into a girl's likeness, she sat atop the rock, frowning and watching Wu Wang, who was soaking in the seawater.
Wu Wang immediately leaped up. He was about to speak when he saw the young girl step back, her eyes brimming with caution.
What's this, a stroke of luck?
Wu Wang quickly steadied his emotions and analyzed the situation. He had even forgotten to dry his clothes and the water in his hair. He stood up and gave the girl a standard Human Domain salute.
"I, Wu Wangzi, have caused offense just now. I implore you, miss, not to take it to heart," he said.
Er, why did a 'ze ge' slip out? And why has my voice become so husky?
"Human... Domain?"
