Hui Yin was oblivious to the attention that she was getting, because she had long since thrown away her vanity.


    From her experience in her previous life, Hui Yin realized that beauty could fade away, and clinging to it would only bring you disappointment.


    It was a fleeting mask, one that you should stop depending on as you age.


    Now, Hui Yin didn''t even bother to put on make-up. The important thing was that she had a pair of eyes, a nose, a mouth, and her limbs were all intact.


    What ''beautiful, silky hair''?


    It was just the thing attached to her scalp that distinguished her as a female.


    "I thought the 999 steps were the most exhausting part, but this walkway path is not a piece of cake either."


    Hui Yin shook her head.


    They had juste from ''Heaven''s Gate'', and although there was an esctor for climbing down, going up via the 999 steps nearly depleted her stamina. It was only because Lu Shen didn''t seem to be bothered by it that Hui Yin persevered. No matter what, she could not let that bastard beat her on anything. Her pride could not let it.


    There were more tourists around the ''Heaven''s Gate'', so Hui Yin was more annoyed than impressed by the view. Even more so when she noticed that some cameras were starting to point on their direction, while their owners merely giggled and pretended to snap photos of the view again when they were caught.


    Lu Shen''s face was nearly hidden by the cap and the sunsses, and yet he could still attract so much attention.


    Hui Yin clicked her tongue. It would have been better to tour Zhangjiajie without him.


    Atst the two of them reached the ss skywalk, which was the highest section of the cliff-hanging walkway. All visitors were required to rent special textile slippers at the entrance, and Hui Yin wiggled her toes inside her new satiny shoes as she waited for their turn.


    "It''s very high up," Lu Shen said suddenly. "The driver said that it''s a 4,700 foot drop above sea level. You''re not scared of heights?"


    Hui Yin scoffed at this. What was she, a little kid? If it was made to be a tourist attraction, then it was rtively safe. What was there to be scared of?


    She finally realized the problem as she stepped on the ss skywalk. There was the word ''ss'' on its name, which should have informed her that this particr walkway was made of ss.


    And because it was made of ss, it kindly allowed a person to clearly see what would happen if someone ever did fall off the 4,700 foot drop.


    Hui Yin abruptly crouched down, taking in deep breaths.


    Lu Shen leaned casually in front of her, helpfully narrating what the driver had informed them before they arrived at Tianmen mountain.


    "All that''s separating us from a deadly plunge is two and a half inch ss, and he said that it takes about two hours to go around the walkway. If a person identally slips and goes over the railing, I wonder how long they''ll fall in mid-air. Thirty seconds? A minute? That seems interesting."


    Hui Yin deliberately closed her eyes, feeling nausea rise up in her stomach.


    Why did this bastard suddenly be so talkative?


    She heard him take a step closer to her, and with his deep voice just inches away from her ear, he said, "Look, there are clouds below us."


    Hui Yin daydreamed what it would feel like to snap his neck in half. She slowly opened her eyes with the intention of doing it, but the sight of her feet standing on what looked like empty air made her feel dizzy.


    "Ye Wenling, you idiot, if you ever post that video, I''m going to kill you in your sleep!"


    "Mommy!"


    "AHHH!"


    It didn''t help that she could hear the tourists screaming around her either. On that brief moment when she opened her eyes, she saw a man dragging his wife across the walkway by the armpits, while she simply covered her face with her hands. Another girl was crawling on her hands and knees, beingughed at by her friends who were filming her.


    "I''m not scared," Hui Yin said firmly, her eyes still closed. "I''m just resting."


    A low chuckle drifted over.


    "Try standing up. I''ll support you."


    "Why would I need your support? I''mpletely fine."


    She gripped the railing to her right, letting the solid feel of metalfort her.


    That''s right, it was only an illusion. Although she was standing on crystal clear ss, the builders would have made sure that the ss waspact. It wouldn''t have been able to support the weight of countless tourists otherwise.


    A warm hand gripped her arm and slowly helped her stand up.


    "Don''t be stubborn and ept my help. If you''re this scared of heights, you shouldn''t be thinking of building treehouses in the first ce."


    This man...can he not fish in troubled waters?
