They ride for three days, camping in clearings at night and eating whatever they can hunt. Wan Mi is happy to eat her fresh fruits, but won't say no to skewered rabbit, which Wu Yun has gotten pretty good at making, if he does say so himself.

"If we keep this pace we'll arrive at Kunlun by next week." Wan Mi looks up at the position of the sun in the sky, while they're resting under the shade of a pine tree after their latest meal.

"I have no idea, why does it matter?" Wu Yun asks.
"I think I've seen this tree before." He touches the bark of the pine tree and looks up at the copse.
