Miao Yingtan had plenty of wishes, but there were three she talked about every day:
First, fulfill her sect's great commission, with food, drink, and friends along the way.
Second, master the essence of the Great Wilderness Blade Arts. She didn't need to be invincible across the land, just feared enough that nobody would dare mess with her.
Third... kill Li Chandeng.
Later, her first two wishes came true, and the third came true halfway.
She didn't manage to kill Li Chandeng, but if she told him to go east, he would never dare go west. In that case... she could let him live for now.
With a blade at her pillow and a sword at her side, she rides away on horseback. She sets sail and rides the waves, watching the tide rise.
The clouds may block the sun, but only for a time. The Milky Way will cross countless mountains again.
A fictionalized Ming-style setting, an ancient road-trip tale.
Premise: The world is vast, so wander freely.
