In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

"I don't like this kind of cleverness."

Maria turned her head slightly and spoke slowly to the empty surroundings.

The appearance of this road did not lead Maria to see Xi, but instead led Maria to a maze with no clear way out...

"We need you, Xi, and your family is waiting for you too."

Maria tried to keep her tone as soft as possible.

This is very different from her usual style.

These were some of the things she had learned during her time in Terra.

She did not act rashly, but opened her mouth and advised the other party.

It is better for you to come out and see me honestly than anything else.

But obviously, Xi at this moment was not the well-behaved little girl that Maria knew.

At this time, she seemed to be in a rebellious period.

After Maria pointed out her little tricks, she actually started to act like a spoiled brat.

Another blink.

The surrounding mountains and fields suddenly changed, from the originally heavy peaks, they suddenly turned into a group of ferocious and terrifying giant beasts!

They don't breathe, but every move they make can cause a crazy rainstorm!

but……

"..."

Maria just stared at the giant beasts without even blinking.

She is someone who can even beat real giant beasts.

Not to mention these fake monsters, even if a real monster appeared, Maria would not be too worried.

Xi wanted to scare her away in this way, but obviously chose the wrong person.

And Xi quickly realized this.

In silence, the giant beasts around also turned into smoke and disappeared.

Soon, the ink fell to the ground, forming a huge wall that blocked Maria's sight...

She plans to trap Maria!

"So... you still don't want to meet?"

Maria sighed.

She could feel that Xi was trying his best to make her retreat without hurting her.

But unfortunately, this girl still didn't understand Maria well enough.

"Bam—!"

Like a gust of wind, Maria threw a decisive punch!

The storm was like a tornado, sweeping across the entire painting in almost the blink of an eye!

The so-called blockade is just a ridiculous lie.

With such absolute strength, Maria didn't even need to hesitate!

Her figure was like a cannonball, moving quickly through the false obstacles drawn!

And in her perception, the other party's position was also changing rapidly.

However, Maria was able to lock onto the opponent's position in the first place every time and rush towards him.

After each transfer, the other party would pause noticeably.

And it was this pause that allowed Maria to continuously shorten the distance between the two sides.

Later on, Maria could clearly sense that the other party was also panicking.

Many times, not only did it fail to widen the distance between the two people, but it actually shortened the distance between them!

After just ten breaths, Maria finally found the quiet little house among a grove of dark bamboos...

"...Miss Xi, I mean no harm...at least not for now."

Although she was tormented by the other party, Maria did not seem to be angry.

In fact, in Maria's eyes, Xi's actions could hardly be considered troublesome.

After all, all she did was to make Maria spend a few more minutes looking for someone.

It has absolutely no impact on major events.

"..."

"But your family is waiting for you... This is your final ultimatum, Miss Xi, please come out."

Maria spoke calmly, her tone calm.

And as if realizing that Maria was serious about it, the little girl gritted her teeth and reluctantly poked her head out of her room.

Xi at this moment was almost the same as the figure in Maria's memory.

She still looked like a cold and dark beauty.

But at this moment, Xi did not have the complicated feelings towards Maria that he would have in the future.

She just frowned and took a deep breath.

"Who are you? And why are you here?"

Xi spoke, trying to make herself appear as mysterious as possible.

But the way it hid by the door made it hard to feel any fear towards it.

She was obviously terrified of Maria...

I just stayed in the painting honestly and had nothing to do with the outside world.

I'm in this state, why would anyone still look for me?

goo...

"Maria... Miss Xi, so, are you ready to go out?"

Maria was still polite.

But Xi just snorted coldly.

"Don't go."

After saying that, she turned around and tried to return to her safe house.

but……

"Snapped……"

Xi didn't even see clearly how Maria did it.

In just a moment, Maria was beside her, took the lead and grabbed the door panel.

"I'm sorry, Miss Xi, you have to step forward in this matter..."

Although Maria looks easy to talk to, she is completely disobedient.

Xi had already said that she didn't want to go out, but Maria's every move was a strong demand.

This made Xi a little angry.

"open!"

She snorted coldly, her words heavy.

But Maria said nothing, just held the door tightly.

Xi struggled a few more times, but unfortunately, she was no match for Maria in strength.

At this time, she felt extremely regretful that she had not listened to her elder brother and gone for some exercise.

but……

"..."

Xi looked at Maria beside him, and Maria looked back at Xi.

The two looked at each other with calm eyes.

Then...

“Sulfone——!”

The green long sword was raised, spreading out green ink!

Maria also stepped back slightly to avoid the opponent's attack.

"Humph!"

Xi was a little proud of himself for forcing Maria back with one strike.

"Back off now, I won't care about you..."

She said this in a cold tone.

But Maria just looked at Xi who was unmoved and sighed softly.

"Miss Xi...we didn't have to do this."

"Ok?"

……

"What...what should we do?"

In reality, a few people sat together and chattered.

Shu was the most worried about Maria. He frowned slightly, showing some uneasiness.

"Don't worry, Shu. Although Xiao Xigua is a bit stupid, she knows how to act with moderation. At most, she will torment Maria a little, but she won't really attack her."

Ling didn't take it seriously.

She just took a sip of rice wine to fill her stomach, and then continued.

"Besides, why are you so worried about Maria? Could it be that you two... have some other relationship?"

Ling joked.

Although Shu was kind-hearted, she had never seen anyone care so much about someone before.

"Big sister...it's not this..."

Faced with Bagua's order, Shu was somewhat helpless.

Doesn’t she know how Xi is doing?

Of course she knew that Xi was being measured in his actions.

but……

Maria... the legendary general who might have met their real selves seven hundred years ago...

I have actually seen how she did it!

This time...

"Eh? There's movement."

Just when Shu was filled with anxiety, Ji, who was standing beside him, was the first to notice that something was wrong with the scroll.

Suddenly, strange ink bubbles began to gurgle from the front of the originally peaceful scroll.

When everyone was still confused about what was going on.

The black figure slowly and quietly walked out of the painting.

"Maria?!"

Seeing Maria appear safely, Shu finally felt relieved.
