Mira thought about it for a second but soon came to a realization.

How could the world be so weak that someone with only her level of strength can basically ruin the surface of the world? This world has to house people dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of times stronger than her and if it can\'t even deal with someone of her strength then how can it survive against those stronger than her?

Mira decided to just chalk it up to cultivation world bullshit and stopped thinking about it.

She looked around and noticed Maria and Celaine looking at her with concern while the girl was looking at her with terror evident in her eyes. She didn\'t see Elenei but noticed that at some point she retreated into her Soul Sea.

When Maria noticed that Mira had calmed down, she ran up and grabbed hold of her hands.

"Are you okay, Mira? What was that? Why were you so angry? Did you know those people? Or maybe you only wanted to help a poor child?"

"I\'m fine… I just don\'t like people like them. It brings up unwanted memories. Okay, forget about that. Now that I finished my business, we should get going."

Maria noticed how Mira was trying to change the subject and tacitly understood that she didn\'t want to talk about it.

"...Yeah, I guess we should get going. It shouldn\'t be long until we find a major city near the Main Battle Maiden Sect. But first, we have to make sure the girl is fine! You almost killed her as collateral damage, after all!"

"...Whatever…"

Mira, Maria, followed by Celaine all walked over to the naked a bruised little girl sitting on the ground looking at them like they are some sort of monsters.

Maria walked up to her with a warm smile on her face, but that didn\'t make the situation any better since both Celaine and Mira were looking at her like she was just a piece of meat.

"Hey, little girl! What\'s your name? My name is Maria! It\'s nice to meet you!"

"..."

"You don\'t have a name? Very well, I\'ll just call you Villager A because you look incredibly average! Hehe~"

"Wha-! My name isn-"

"Well, Villager A, I\'m sorry that my friend almost killed you, but aren\'t you a little too weak to be wandering around all by your lonesome? I mean look at yourself, Villager A! You almost got squished like a bug just because my friend fell from the sky! Dang! The world is such a scary place! You really should be more careful."

"Will you lis-"

"All\'s well that ends well, I suppose! You didn\'t get… taken advantage of… by those ugly fellows and my friend here earned herself some good karma! You also got to meet three beauties like us! You\'re such a lucky person, Villager A!"

"FUCK!! Are you stupid or just mentally ill?! My name isn\'t Villager A!! It\'s Lily! LILY!! And what the hell are you talking about??! Lucky?! I was almost molested! Then some crazy bitch fell from the sky and almost killed me! Then she went on a rampage and would\'ve killed me if I didn\'t run away from her as fast as possible! Now, I have to sit here and talk with you!! Tell me, what part of this do you think is lucky!?!?"

"Ummm… I guess the part where my friend here almost stepped on you? I and many others would absolutely love it if my friend would dominate them like she almost did with you. You also got to see someone as cute and pretty as me! I\'m almost starting to think I should charge you money for giving you such an opportunity!"

"You! You! You fucking PSYCHO!! What do you mean \'stepped on\'?! She almost squashed me like a bug!!! I should be the one asking for compensation from you!!"

"Hmph! You\'re just too weak to accept her love!!"

By this point, Celaine had already turned around while covering her face with her hands. She really, REALLY wanted to beat the shit out of Maria right now. She can\'t wait to make it to a city so she can get away from this shameless woman! Who the hell talks to a kid like that?! It\'s so embarrassing.

Even Mira was feeling awkward about this whole situation. She knows that Maria\'s just trying to distract Lily from what she just saw to calm her down but…

\'Why does she need to drag me down with her as well? Whatever, I\'ve had enough of this nonsense.\'

Mira walked up behind Maria and roundhouse kicked her in the hip causing her to shoot to the side and tumble to the ground several hundred meters away. Although most people would definitely be injured by such a kick, Mira knew that she probably only gave her a bad bruise at worst. That\'s how strong Maria\'s body is.

"What?! Why\'d you do that?! Wasn\'t she your friend?? How can you be so brutal?!"

"Shut up, kid. Why are you worrying about that masochist? She probably wasn\'t even hurt."

"It\'s true. She enjoys taking a beating so I\'m sure she\'s… pfft… happy that Mira kicked her."

Celaine chimed in with a chuckle, but her words sent a shiver down Lily\'s spine as any respect she had for Maria just went straight down the drain.

"That\'s enough! I have a question for you, girl. You seem especially strong for a child. Where are you from? Have you come from some Sect? Or maybe you\'re a spoiled child who ran away from home? As far as I know, there is literally nothing for hundreds or even thousands of kilometers except grasslands and forests."

Mira looked at her intently, something that an inexperienced little girl couldn\'t possibly handle. Just Mira\'s stare made Lily feel like a titanous monster was staring down at her.

"I-I-I r-ran away from my village…"

Lily managed to stutter which caused Mira to stop looking at her so intensely. Lily let out a huge breath of hot air when she felt the pressure on her lift. However, Mira wasn\'t actually releasing any pressure, it\'s just her presence is rather large.

"Village? I didn\'t see any villages when we were flying through the air. I\'m sure I would\'ve noticed something like that."

\'Elenei, did you see anything?\'

\'Nope. Though I admit, I wasn\'t exactly looking for something like a village. So I might\'ve missed it.\'

\'Hmmm…\'

Lily didn\'t know Mira was talking to Elenei and thought that Mira was waiting for her to continue so she reluctantly answered.

"M-My village is closed off from the world. I wanted to get out because I was bored and wanted to explore the outside world. Who knew that something like this would happen? Sniff… Sniff… I wanna go back home! Waaaaa! Mom and Dad were right! Sniff… The outside world is too scary!!"

Lily fell on her butt and started bawling her eyes out, but Mira ignored her and started thinking about the village. Part of her wants to take a look, but another part thinks that it\'s a bad idea. The only reason she would want to see the village is to sate her curiosity. Other than that, Mira doesn\'t see any benefits in visiting such a place. Maybe she can use the excuse of saving this little girl and ask for some sort of compensation, but that might end up backfiring. This little girl will most likely just say that although Mira saved her from those ruffians, she almost died because of her \'savior\'.

\'Whatever. Maybe there\'s something special about this village that\'ll make it worth visiting and this girl could be our ticket in.\'

"Mira!!! I leave for a few seconds and look! You already made the girl cry! Shh… Shh… It\'s okay, Villager A. I\'ll protect you from this scary woman!"

While Mira was lost in thought, Maria had already dashed in and started coddling Lily. Unfortunately, this didn\'t make the girl feel any better as her crying just became louder.
