Gilda felt a sudden burst of sweetness in her heart. She rolled her eyes playfully at Severin and said, "With all the sweet talk that's coming out of your mouth, I doubt I'll ever have a reason to be angry with you."
Severin did a little stretch and continued to guide the flying sword forward. He later said, "My attainment level might be lower than yours right now, but I'm pretty sure I'll catch up to you soon. You probably might not even be strong enough to overpower me soon."
"My, my, you're quite confident!" Gilda countered. "You're saying that as if I'm just going to sit around doing nothing so you can catch up. Right now, you're only a level eight saint, while I'm already a level four royal saint. It might be a tall order to catch up with me."
Severin chuckled. "Haha, my talent is pretty good, so don't be surprised when I eventually catch up."
Their journey proceeded smoothly, and they no longer encountered anyone foolish enough to challenge them for the flying sword. When nightfall came, the couple spent an evening at a small town and resumed their journey the next morning.
It had been a long time since Gilda had ventured outside the sect, and the beautiful scenery they encountered along the way brought her much joy. Severin's decision to indulge her with some shopping in a city during the evening made her feel young at heart again. Gilda enjoyed herself very much over the course of several days, and their relationship blossomed as a result.
As time flowed on, a bustling city soon appeared within sight.
"We've arrived, Gilda. South Link City is just up ahead," Severin announced. "Let's get off from the flying sword and enter through the city gates on foot. We wouldn't want to draw any undue attention to us."
