Only When She Was Strong Enough Could She Be Fearless

By the time she'd passed the fifth sentry post, Yun Xi was already halfway up the mountain. Her shoulders and back ached from a couple of the punches that she'd received.

A lot of her stamina and energy had been exhausted, and she felt on the verge of collapse.

Realizing how far she'd come, she thought that if she could fend off the remaining sentry posts, she would practically be a superwoman!

Plus, then she would probably have to climb all the rest of the way to reach the top of the mountain.

She couldn't help but lament to herself about how eccentric Mu Feichi was, that he had to live somewhere so high up and make climbing up the mountain so difficult.

Much later on, after she had moved into the Mu Mansion as the wife of the Mu family heir, she had realized the difference between living on the top of the mountain and living at the foot of the mountain.
