"Lily would definitely kill me if she knew, right?" Asher sighed in his heart, riding the Pegasus northwards. If he failed to find the clues he sought in the Northern Country, this would be a huge loss. The reason Odin accepted the summoning probably lay here, and if he could uncover the secret of the Northern Country, perhaps Lily wouldn't have to worry about attacks from the Norse gods.
"You've already left, it's too late to worry now," Kiara Sesshouin said softly from behind the eight-legged horse.
Asher glanced at her. "I say, Miss Kiara Sesshouin, you should have a way to fly, right? Why do you insist on riding one horse with me?"
"I don't understand what you're saying at all. How could I fly? To leave, I needed to rely on the mount you summoned two nights ago. Hmm... what kind of mount is this exactly?" Kiara Sesshouin lowered her head to look at the mount beneath them. At this moment, the eight-legged horse seemed to be enveloped by something, its appearance unseen, only those riding it could roughly feel its shape.
"Feels like a horse?"
"If you're trying to change the subject, this method is quite poor."
"What are you talking about? I don't understand at all," Kiara Sesshouin maintained her smile.
"Forget it," Asher sighed. "I don't know where the Northern Country is, so you'll have to lead the way now."
"So cold. Just keep heading forward. When we're close, you'll see a huge tree. That's our destination."
"The World Tree?" Asher pondered. He had heard that both gods and giants resided within the World Tree. From this perspective, this legend seemed to be true.
"Why do you know so much about the Northern Country?" Asher suddenly asked.
Kiara Sesshouin pondered for a moment, then smiled
sweetly, "Hmm... that's a secret. A woman always has one or two secrets. It would be great if you could understand me."
The eight-legged horse silently spread its wings, continuing its swift journey northward. Feeling the soft weight pressing against his back, Asher mumbled, "Can you move back a bit? There's enough space, don't stick so close." Faced with Kiara Sesshouin, Asher adopted two completely different approaches than he did with Tiamat, knowing full well how dangerous this woman was. If he fell in love, he would likely become an insect on a spider's web, helplessly watching it crawl closer and devour him bit by bit.
However, Kiara Sesshouin merely chuckled, pressing her body even closer, wrapping her arms around Asher's waist. "This way I feel more secure. Your back is very broad."
"I'm quite thin, my back shouldn't be that broad," Asher said.
Kiara Sesshouin: "..." While that was true, Kiara Sesshouin was quite tall among women, excelling in both mature figure and height. Compared to her, Asher was indeed quite slender. But that didn't mean Asher could be so blunt with his words, unless his original intention was to shut down the conversation entirely.
"No, I think your strength is very reassuring, so whether your back is broad or not, it's very reliable to me," Kiara Sesshouin quickly said again in a gentle tone.
This time it was Asher's turn to be speechless. He had answered Kiara Sesshouin like that to shut down the conversation. According to Asher's plan, after Kiara Sesshouin took him to the Northern Country, they could go their separate ways, but it now seemed not so easy.
"I'm becoming more and more interested in you," Kiara Sesshouin continued.
Asher: "..." The more he ignored her, the more excited she got? What a lunatic! He couldn't hit her, as he wasn't sure he could win, and he needed her to lead the way.
Cursing her wasn't an option either. Acting weak didn't work, and acting strong didn't work, because this woman was a combination of Sadist and Masochist. If you cursed her, she might get even more excited... Of course, if it was truly vicious sarcasm, it might actually infuriate her. But infuriating her didn't seem to have any benefits either. Therefore, Asher was truly at a loss. What else could he do? Should he try to enlighten Kiara Sesshouin with love?
May the Buddha have mercy, female benefactor, please immediately lay down your butcher's knife and become a Buddha... Oh, you're already a Bodhisattva, then never mind.
The cold night wind blew, and Kiara Sesshouin suddenly pointed forward. "We're almost there." Asher looked up ahead. In the distance, a giant tree, seemingly towering between heaven and earth, came into view. Legend had it that the World Tree's roots were gnawed by the black dragon Niohoggr, but at this moment, the World Tree appeared perfectly intact.
"This tree is actually so huge..." Asher's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but murmur to himself. What exactly is going on with this singularity? Has the Norse Age of Gods truly been revived?
"You seem to know a lot about this tree. Do you seem to know something?" Kiara Sesshouin looked at Asher with a meaningful gaze.
"Not much, I just know a little bit," Asher shook his head. "Do you know how to enter this tree?"
"There's an entrance at the bottom of this tree. You can go in from there."
"Why do you know so much about the World Tree?" Asher couldn't help but look at Kiara Sesshouin suspiciously.
"That's a woman's secret, I'm sorry," Kiara Sesshouin said with a smile. A woman's secret has nothing to do with this at all?! Asher complained in his mind, then rode the eight-legged horse to the very bottom of the World Tree.
Upon arrival, he turned and asked, "What now? Where do we go?"
"Before that, can you please help me down?" Asher looked at the eight-legged horse, then at Kiara Sesshouin sitting on its back. At this moment, she was wearing a wool sweater and hot pants, revealing a pair of long, alluring smooth legs. Her attire, by any measure, had nothing to do with a nun.
"You should be able to get down yourself, shouldn't you?"
Asher subtly refused.
"No, honestly, I'm a little afraid of heights," Kiara Sesshouin shook her head. "If I can't get down, we'll just keep wasting time here, and you wouldn't want that, would you?"
"...You win."
Asher walked forward and helped Kiara Sesshouin off the horse. His fingers touched her warm, soft thigh, and a smooth sensation spread through his palm. Asher's body stiffened slightly, and he tried his best to remain calm as he lifted Kiara Sesshouin off the horse. During this process, Kiara Sesshouin stared directly at Asher, then wrapped her arms around his neck, leaning in and whispering in his ear as she dismounted: "Don't be nervous." She licked Asher's earlobe.
"How can I not be nervous?!" Asher complained fiercely, but he felt his cheeks flushing a bit.
Kiara Sesshouin chuckled gently: "I apologize, I just wanted you to relax a little, but it seems to have had the opposite effect." It would be strange if it didn't have the opposite effect, she clearly did it on purpose, right?!
"Alright, I'll take you into the World Tree," Kiara Sesshouin walked towards the World Tree and then extended her hand to him. "It's best to hold hands here, so we don't get separated."
Will entering the World Tree trigger some mechanism, like mist? Asher wondered secretly. He looked up at Kiara Sesshouin, who maintained her smile, her hand extended towards him.
Finally, Asher reached out and held her hand.
