As expected of the Queen of the Land of Shadows. Her senses were incredibly sharp.
"It was nothing. I was just curious. Since you came from the Land of Shadows beyond the world, aren't you interested in modern scenery?" Fu Yuan replied.
"Oh, that? I was interested a few thousand years ago, but as time passed, I lost interest." Scáthach spoke lazily with her eyes closed.
Scáthach, who possessed the 'Wisdom of the Mystic Realm,' had already seen the future known as the modern age thousands of years ago... What an unbelievable situation.
"A few thousand years ago... Then your age..." Fu Yuan sighed softly before suddenly shutting his mouth, because Scáthach had opened her enchanting eyes and was staring at him with a decidedly dangerous look.
"Go on. Continue. What were you about to say to me?" Scáthach said, her gaze fixed on Fu Yuan.
"Then you really are quite old."
That was what Fu Yuan had originally wanted to say...
But when Fu Yuan remembered that his next Daily Quest required him to gain the approval and recognition of the Queen of the Land of Shadows, he changed his words so as not to make the quest any harder.
Fu Yuan changed his tune and said, "What I wanted to say was that even after living so long, you still look young and beautiful. You look like a youthful girl of twenty."
"Is that so?" Scáthach said slowly.
"Yes." Fu Yuan confirmed solemnly.
Seeing no trace of falsehood in Fu Yuan, Scáthach slowly closed her eyes and returned to her resting state.
Although those had not been Fu Yuan's original words, he genuinely thought Scáthach was young and beautiful. She looked nothing like an old woman who had lived for thousands of years.
The Queen's Desire and Wish IV
Scáthach looked remarkably young.
That was because, as a human, she had slain gods and undead, thereby setting foot in the Divine Realm.
As a result, Scáthach had suffered countless curses. One of them was an eternity akin to that of the gods, a curse that kept her forever young and immortal.
Thus, whether thousands or tens of thousands of years passed, Scáthach would never grow old. She would forever retain her current beautiful and bewitching appearance.
Scáthach had a dream!
She wanted to find someone capable of killing her.
It sounded unbelievable, didn't it? Why would her dream be to find someone who could kill her?
Because Scáthach, who had already become a demigod, would not face death as humans did.
Whether it was a beautiful death or an ugly one.
She could only remain forever in the Land of Shadows, until the inner side and outer side of the world perished together, at which point she would disappear with them.
But Scáthach was, at heart, still a warrior.
Scáthach, who regarded herself as a warrior, did not want to vanish in such a boring way.
If a warrior was to die, then she should be killed in battle, in a duel.
Scáthach, who had closed her eyes, opened them again. She looked at the handsome man driving the car, and then an indescribable emotion appeared in her beautiful eyes.
Now... Scáthach believed she had found someone who might be capable of killing her.
That person was Fu Yuan.
First of all, even with the Wisdom of the Mystic Realm, Scáthach could not see Fu Yuan's past or future.
Since she could not see through Fu Yuan, Scáthach did not know whether he possessed the power to kill her.
So now, Scáthach was hoping and waiting, hoping and waiting for this handsome man to bring her surprises and the unexpected.
It was precisely because the future was unknowable that anticipation and hope arose.
Scáthach was now in that subtle state of anticipation. Her heart, once as still as stagnant water, began to ripple because of Fu Yuan.
Who knew whether Fu Yuan could make this Queen of the Land of Shadows, who had been lonely for thousands of years, "burn" once more?
If the Queen of the Land of Shadows, who had been silent for thousands of years, truly began to burn, then she would surely be like an erupting volcano—overwhelming and impossible to resist.
I wonder whether this inscrutable man possesses the ability to kill me... If he does not, I will have to train him and help him grow strong enough to kill me, Scáthach silently thought.
Having finally encountered someone whose future she could not see, Scáthach had no intention of letting him go.
Scáthach believed that even if Fu Yuan did not currently possess the power to kill her, perhaps he would gain that power in the future.
Thus, Scáthach came up with the bizarre idea that if Fu Yuan lacked the power to kill her, she would personally teach him until he possessed it.
Scáthach, who had incurred all kinds of curses for slaying gods, longed to be killed by another. In her eyes, being killed by someone else was equivalent to being saved by them.
Hoping to be killed = being saved [freed].
As for Fu Yuan, who was being watched by Scáthach, he felt deeply uncomfortable, as though he were sitting on pins and needles.
It was not only Scáthach's senses that were sharp; Fu Yuan's senses were equally sharp.
Thus, Fu Yuan knew that Scáthach was staring at him. The interested gleam in her enchanting eyes made his entire body feel uneasy.
Right now, Fu Yuan felt as though this seductive and alluring queen wanted to strip off every piece of clothing he wore, then slowly and carefully inspect every inch of his body.
Only two words came to Fu Yuan's mind to describe that feeling.
"Ravenous."
Although Fu Yuan knew it was extremely rude to use those words to describe a peerlessly beautiful and enchanting woman.
But forgive him. Under Scáthach's "passionate" gaze, those were the only words Fu Yuan could think of to describe her.
After driving for around twenty minutes, Fu Yuan and Scáthach arrived at the foot of Mount Ensō. At that moment, Scáthach looked toward a certain direction on the mountain.
"What's wrong?" Fu Yuan looked at Scáthach in surprise after she suddenly reacted so strangely.
"On the western side of this mountain, there are layers of Magic Barriers. They seem to be protecting something." Scáthach parted her cherry lips and slowly described what she sensed.
Fu Yuan froze briefly, then quickly understood what the Magic Barriers Scáthach had sensed were about.
