Wu stretched as he stood outside of Cloud Retainer's domain, Shenhe by his side. He had been training with her in the gravity chamber for two days, and thanks to her, he'd made staggering progress with his mastery over the Kaio-Ken.
"Are you sure you need to leave now?" Shenhe asked.
"If I still want Aether to like me enough to feed me, I'll need to check in on them again..." Wu grunted. "Besides, too much has gone on without a fight on their end, something is bound to come up." Wu said, knowing how these little adventures went.
"...Be safe." Shenhe said, averting her gaze.
"Do you know who you're talking to?" Wu chuckled.
"Yes. I do." Shenhe said, knowing Wu's temperament all to well by now.
"...Fair enough." Wu smirked. "I will." He bowed to her, and touched off the ground, flying off.
Shenhe watched as he went, a slight melancholy in her eye.

Aether and Paimon, after two days of arduous work, had finally done all they needed to meet Ningguang on the Jade Chamber. From an arduous search for the correct path to the chamber, to getting the password for travel to it from the Yuheng, Keqing, to making a bejeweled gift for the obviously extravagantly rich Ningguang, to finally travelling to where they needed to use the password to be granted passage.
After speaking the correct password to an attendant at Yujing Terrace, they stepped onto a small floating platform constructed from glowing green jade, slowly floating up to the chamber.
"Heehee! I can't believe we're finally going to meet Ningguang! It took so much work, Paimon's brimming with excitement!" Paimon said.
"Heyo."
"GYAH!!!" Paimon shrieked as Wu floated up beside them, hovering in the air with crossed arms. "Like always, you show up when all the work is done!!!" Paimon spat.
"Lucky me..." Wu chuckled.
"It's kind of convenient, don't you think?" Aether raised a skeptical eyebrow.
"You jerk! We spend an entire day trying to find a way up! If you were here, you could have flown us!!!" Paimon barked.
"You knew where I was..." Wu said.
...
...
...
"STILL!!!" Paimon shrieked.
"How was your training, Wu?" Aether asked, a gentle look on his face despite Wu's infrequent presence.
"Beyond stellar..." Wu said, touching down next to them softly. "I've gotten a whole lot stronger..." He smirked.
"Idunno, you look the same to Paimon, maybe a little less miserable looking though..." Paimon murmered, giving Wu a once over.
Vsh!!!
Wu spiked his ki for a single instant, making Paimon cry out as she was sent tumbling through the air and off the platform, Wu laughed as she franticly floated upwards, catching up to the platform as she ran out of breath.
"You wretched villain!!!" Paimon squeaked, leaning on Aether as she caught her breath.
"Quit your huffing, we're here." Wu crossed his arms as the platform finally floated up to the Jade Chamber.
The platform floated up past the edge of the Jade Chamber, showcasing the extravagant abode that the world was seldom allowed to see up close. A great mansion laid before them, decadently crafted from carved stone tiles and surrounded by a pristine water garden.
