The girl was very fast, covering over a hundred meters in just a few breaths. However, her running posture was strange. Instead of swinging her arms like a normal person, she leaned forward and held her hands behind her.

If Shen Ye were to arrive now, he would probably recognize this as the very famous ninja run, but at this moment he is still on his way.

The girl stopped after running several hundred meters in one breath, because she could already see the billowing dust.

It was a group of people on motorcycles, dressed in brightly colored and bizarre costumes, carrying all sorts of weapons. A flag with a terrifying skull painted on it was tied to the back of their motorcycles. Upon seeing the girl, they immediately surrounded her, slowing down and circling her while making strange noises.

"Oh, look what we've encountered! A cute little girl, she doesn't look like she's even an adult yet."

"So, before we raid that village, let's kidnap this girl first, as a warm-up."

"But she doesn't look like a rich person."

"She might not have much money, but she's cute, hehe..."

They turned out to be a group of wilderness bandits who made a living by plundering.

Hearing the strange cries reaching her ears, the girl was not alarmed, but felt that Shinra was even more despicable. At least in the past, these wilderness bandits were not so arrogant.

"How despicable! They actually tried to plunder the village! That village is already poor, and I absolutely will not allow you to do such a thing!" The girl raised the cross-shaped shuriken in her hand and shouted loudly.

But the thieves ignored her, or rather, because of the strange noises and the sound of the motorcycle engine, they didn't hear the girl's slightly cute and childish voice. Instead, they found her actions very cute and even discussed what they would do after the robbery.

"Damn it, how dare they ignore me!" The girl seemed to have a bad temper and became irritable in an instant. Now that she knew who those people were, she no longer hesitated and decided to take the initiative.

"Take this!" the girl shouted, throwing her cross-shaped shuriken at one of them.

The shuriken whistled through the air, its rapid spinning motion creating a gust of wind around it, its power enough to easily cleave a person in two.

However, those who become wilderness bandits are not simple people. The person who was targeted happened to be the leader of this bandit group. He reacted immediately, wielding a strangely shaped weapon and narrowly blocking the cross-shaped shuriken.

With a soft clang, the cross-shaped shuriken was deflected, spinning in mid-air before returning to the girl's hand.

Although the bandit leader managed to block the fatal blow, he was still knocked off the motorcycle by the force of the shuriken, and his body was covered in wounds caused by the blast of wind.

"Damn it!" The bandit leader wiped the blood from his face and roared, "Grab her! I'm going to be the first to enjoy her!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the bandits who were still circling the girl instantly changed formation, brandishing their weapons and rushing towards her, still yelling strangely.

"Trying to catch me? Not so easy!" The girl sneered and brandished the cross-shaped shuriken in her hand once more.

As a biker gang in the wilderness, these bandits not only possess considerable strength, but also remarkable teamwork. They use complex yet orderly formations to continuously attack the girl. Even if their attacks are fruitless, they will not linger but instead speed away so that their companions can continue the attack.

This continued repeatedly, and even though the girl was exceptionally skilled and incredibly agile, she still faced numerous perilous situations due to the coordinated attacks of the bandits.

The girl had finally managed to knock one of the thieves out of the car, and was about to finish him off when another thief drove up, forcing her to take a defensive stance. However, to her surprise, the thief was only feinting; his real purpose was to save his companion. He swiftly reached out and pulled his fallen comrade into the car.

"So annoying, so annoying." The girl kept waving her shuriken and complaining, while also complaining about why her junior, Sonon, hadn't arrived yet.

Just as she was distracted by complaining, a chain wrapped around her calf at an odd angle, and as the chain was pulled straight, her body was also pulled to the ground.

"Haha, I've got her!" The bandit leader laughed loudly, gripping the chains. He couldn't wait any longer.

Just then, he suddenly heard the sound of a powerful engine in the distance, followed by a gunshot, and the chain in his hand snapped.

"Who?" The bandit leader roared, turning his head to look in the direction from which the voice came.

What came into his view was a high-powered headlight. The blinding light caused him to lose his sight briefly, and his men involuntarily closed their eyes as well.

Then came a series of gunshots, accompanied by the screams of his men and the sound of motorcycles falling to the ground.

When the bandit leader opened his eyes, nearly half of his men had already fallen, and the girl had broken free of her chains and was pulled into a car by a man in a trench coat.

"Who are you?" Two voices rang out simultaneously.

Shen Ye ignored the bandit leader and only answered the girl who wasn't sitting behind him but standing on the motorcycle seat: "The person picking you up... hold on tight, I won't be responsible if you fall off."

"I'm agile, I definitely won't fall," the girl said confidently.

"Really? I wonder who got caught with such a simple sneak attack just now," Shen Ye said mockingly.

"That was because I was careless and didn't pay attention," the girl retorted angrily.

But at this moment, Shen Ye suddenly accelerated, and the motorcycle under his legs roared even louder, increasing its speed by more than double.

The girl behind him was startled by the sudden acceleration. Ignoring all concerns about saving face, she quickly sat up and wrapped her arms around Shen Ye's waist.

"So he's still not an adult!" Shen Ye pursed his lips, feeling no sensation on his back. He thought that compared to Alice, he was far inferior to Jesse.

He recognized the girl behind him immediately; she was the "ninja" from Wutai Mountain, Yufei Ruyue, a young girl who was not yet an adult, and yes, a very cute young girl.

"Slow down, slow down, I get carsick." The sudden acceleration of the motorcycle made Yuffie's eyes blurry, but none of that mattered. What mattered was that she got carsick, and she got carsick in any kind of vehicle. She was already feeling nauseous.

"Damn it, just bear with it." Hearing the retching sounds coming from behind, Shen Ye was speechless, but he couldn't slow down yet because the group of bandits were about to drive away. So he twisted the throttle again, pushing the motorcycle to its maximum speed. Then he freed one hand, pulled out his pistol, and fired at the bandits.

bang bang bang...

After a series of gunshots, he caught up with and killed all the bandits.

Only then did he slow down, stop the car, and turn off the engine.

(Some parts of Sonon's storyline have been modified to facilitate subsequent developments)

……

In fact, as soon as Shen Ye parked the car and before he even turned off the engine, You Fei covered her mouth and jumped out of the car. After running a few steps forward, she knelt on the ground and started retching uncontrollably.

Fortunately, in order to wait for the Avalanche leaders to take them to Midgar for a good meal and to save on their already meager budget, she didn't eat anything that night, so she didn't vomit anything.

"It's so...so uncomfortable, motion sickness is awful." After gagging for a while, Yuffie finally recovered, but when she tried to stand up, she felt dizzy and almost fell over again.

"Hey, little girl, are you alright?" Shen Ye remained seated on the motorcycle, elbows crossed and resting on the handlebars, looking at her with amusement.

Although it was already dark, you could still see clearly within a few meters.

"It's...it's alright." Yuffie felt she couldn't show weakness in front of outsiders, so she forced herself to straighten her chest, but she immediately deflated again; motion sickness isn't something that's easy to recover from.

Just then, a male voice suddenly rang out from afar: "Senior, senior, are you alright? Where are you? What bad luck, I forgot to bring my flashlight... Senior, if you're still alive, just say something."

“I’m not dead yet, Sonon.” Hearing her junior’s anxious voice, Yuffie felt a little embarrassed and immediately shouted in dissatisfaction, “Besides patience, cultivators also need a calm and composed mind. Sonon, you need to strengthen your mental cultivation.”

“I will remember your teachings, but I still haven’t seen you.” Sonon raised his voice when he heard Euphemia’s voice.

At this moment, Shen Ye restarted the motorcycle and turned on the low beam headlights, the bright white light illuminating the surroundings.

Upon seeing the light on, Sonam was startled at first, then quickened her pace and soon ran over.

Seeing that there was an outsider besides his senior, Sonon was somewhat surprised. He had examined the corpses earlier; the person in front of him was also riding a motorcycle, but this person didn't seem hostile. Sonon cautiously glanced at Shen Ye and asked his senior, "Senior, who is he?"

“I don’t know him either, but he just…” Yuffie wanted to say that he had just saved her late at night, but then she thought that she should save face for her junior, so she said, “He just helped me deal with those wilderness bandits.”

"I see." Sonon immediately became respectful, then clasped her hands together and bowed to Shen Ye: "Thank you for your help, senior. My name is Sonon, I come from Wutai, and she is..."

Before Sonon could finish speaking, Yuffie interrupted him. The innocent girl adjusted her moogle hat, struck an extremely cute pose, and loudly proclaimed, "I am Yuffie Kisaragi, a beautiful ninja girl from Wutai. Nice to meet you, and may you lend me a helping hand."

Seeing Shen Ye's bewildered expression, Suonong helplessly covered her face.

……

When they returned to the village, it was even darker. However, since the village was far from Midgar and there was no Mako Reactor nearby, the electricity was a bit tight, so there were no streetlights. Some of the shops and restaurants in the village had closed early, and only a simple inn was still open.

"Why don't we just go to Midgar?" Sonon asked Shen Ye before checking into the hotel.

Shen Ye glanced at Yuffie, who was standing to the side drinking from a bottle of water, and said, "It's still about a hundred kilometers to Midgar. Your senior gets carsick, so you can't just walk there, can you? Unless you want to walk all night, I don't really have any objections. But who knows what might happen in the wilderness?"

Even daytime on this planet doesn't necessarily belong to humans, let alone nighttime. The wilderness under the cover of darkness is extremely dangerous.

"Uh!" Sonon thought about it and agreed, so he stopped bringing it up.

Then Shen Ye took out money and handed it to the hotel owner: "Please book three rooms, the best ones."

In fact, Billy's hiring fee was not high, because it was just picking up two people into the city, and if nothing unexpected happened, it was a very easy job.

But Shen Ye wasn't short of money, so he naturally wouldn't treat himself badly. Besides, he was playing an important character in the story, so he didn't mind spending more money.

"I'm sorry, this inn only has one room left," the innkeeper said apologetically. "Would the three of you please make do?"

"I have no choice but to make do. Are we supposed to spend the night outside?" Shen Ye thought the hotel owner was talking nonsense, so he slammed the money on the table and held out his hand: "Room key."

"Please wait a moment." The hotel owner turned around, took the key from the wall, and handed it to Shen Ye: "The room is at the end of the second floor. There are extra bedding in the closet. I hope the three of you will have a pleasant stay."

Shen Ye took the key, waved, and led the still somewhat bewildered Yuffie and Sonnon upstairs.

click!

Upon reaching the end of the second floor, Shen Ye had just opened the door when Yu Fei rushed in impatiently. The moment she saw the bed in the center of the room, Yu Fei seemed to fully recover, cheering as she pounced on it.

"So soft, so comfortable." Yuffie rolled around on the bed, hugging her pillow.

"Senior, mind your image!" Sonon, who had come in late at night, covered his face when he saw this scene. He was completely helpless against this young senior.

"I'm sorry, you must have found this amusing." Seeing that Yuffie ignored her, Sonon said apologetically to Shen Ye.

"It's just a girl's mentality, I can understand." Shen Ye waved his hand dismissively, then found the cabinet the hotel owner had mentioned and took out the bedding from inside.

"Let me do it." Sonon stepped forward and took the bedding from Shen Ye's hands, skillfully spreading it on the ground, which made Shen Ye curious and somewhat surprised.

Seemingly sensing Shen Ye's curious gaze, Sonon said, "The provisional government doesn't have enough houses, so our living conditions have always been poor. This time, when we came to Midgar with our seniors, the funding was also insufficient, and we mostly camped in the wild along the way... Oh, by the way, how is the Avalanche Association doing? Are they still struggling financially like before? Speaking of which, I've been gone for a long time."
