The midnight moon cast long shadows across the forest path as Li Shen and Mei Ling prepared for their journey. Cool air whipped past them as they channeled qi into their legs, their forms blurring with each shadow step.
Li Shen's footfalls barely touched the ground, his body flowing like water between patches of darkness. The Vassal Bond System hummed with energy, seemingly glad to be used again after a long while. It enhanced his connection to Mei Ling's techniques. Her grace transferred to his movements, making each leap precise and efficient.
Mei Ling matched his pace, her white robes catching moonlight as she danced between shadows. Her mastery of the Falling Petals technique allowed her to almost float across the landscape, leaving barely a trace of her passage.
