"...Yeom," I say her name with exhaustion because at this very moment I am extremely tired. We have been walking for hours through the mountains just to finally reach the end of this path and stop in a forest.
"Do you need anything, Shizune?" Yeom asks, pausing for a moment. She doesn't show the slightest bit of fatigue, even after hours of climbing a steep mountain with relatively thin air.
"I need to rest, Yeom. My legs hurt," I say. How can someone who just strolls around the sect keep up with her pace? It's simply impossible. I'm killing myself trying to keep up with her.
Aside from the 3 times I stumbled and fell face-first into the ground, which was not at all pleasant, and she even laughed at me and said I was being a slacker, totally oblivious to the fact that I'm a normal person. If she didn't keep stealing my cultivation, I might be able to keep up with this walking pace.
