“Don’t worry, Lean handle it,” Demi said, tuming back to Maria with acalm, reassuring smile.
As Demi began walking, her posture and movements immediately caught everyone’s attention they were precise and almost effortless
“Demi, you’ve got it down perfectly Marla said, her voice full of surprise and delight.
Den smiled in response but remained silent.
Time ticked by second by second.
Ara was the first to give up. She dropped onto the stone steps, refusing to go any further.
Another half hour passed, and even George, who had been leading confidently, began to faltet under the wright. Despite the strain, the four male contestants kept pushing themselves forward.
Demi, on the other hand, was a picture of composure. She hadn’t even broken a sweat, her movements as smooth and unhurried as when she’d started.
“I can’t do this ammore. I need to rest for a bit. Demi, do you want to take a break too?” Maria asked, her voice strained as she wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Herhand unconsciously moved to rub her lower abdomen
Demi tumed to glance at Maria, then shifted her gaze to Sanders, the cameraman, who was breathing heavily from the effort to keep up with the group
“Mr. Whitley, am I allowed to help someone else? Demi asked
Maria was on her period. As a healer, Demi didn’t need to ask to know
Sanders‘ expression froze for a moment. “Ms. Demi, you’re planning to help someone else?”
Maria immediately caught on to what Demi was suggesting and waved her hands frantically “No, no, there’s no need. I rest for a bit and then keep going. [11 come in last, then so be it.”
Dem, however, kept her focus on Sanders. “Is it allowed?” she asked aga
Sanders hesitated, then quickly contacted Matt for confirmation.

After that, I’ll esne back down and help you. Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon
Before Maria could protest, Demi was already moving again. This time, her pace quickened noticeably.
“No way! Everyone else completely exhausted, and Demi still has the energy to speed up?”
“Who was it earlier saying she didrop the load hallway? Bet they’re eating their words now.”
“Ptft, has Demi ever climbed a mountain before? Moving this fast burns a ton of energy, it’s such a dumb move. She’s just showing off. Let’s see if she even makes

As the comment section erupted into heated debate, Dem’s pace continued to pickup Fates and faster, until she was practically jogging.

“Mr. Lensa, am I imagining things? Or did Ms. Dead just run past us?” chad asked, rubbing his eyes indisbelie
George, staring at Demi’s retreating figure, instinctively wanted to rub his eyes too.
He thought must be an illusion
This was she even human?
Carrying over 25 pounds of cargo up a mountain and still able to nin
If someone didn’t know better, they’d assume she was carrying foam or something lightweight.
Even without a load, running uphill like that should ve been impossible.
In truth, Demi wasn’t showing off, she was worried about Maria. She feared Maria might push herself too hard and attempt to keep going before she could retur to help, which could harm her body.
Although Demi had cultivated her strength for a long time, she still membered that ordinary girls shouldn’t overexert themselves, especially not during their special time of the month
