A dozen people, including the burly ones, were swiftly dealt with by Mu Ge.
Finally, at the end of it all, he too knelt on one knee, exhausted, adjusting his breath as he gazed at his hands.
Between his ten fingers, purple light flickered faintly, intertwining like threads, mischievously like a naughty child.
"You're still here, so..."
Mu Ge murmured, suddenly closing her eyes, as if sensing something.
However, in the next second, she opened her eyes, and her clear and calm eyes brimmed with immense joy. She was reborn, yet to her surprise, her Thunder Power and Space Ability from her previous life followed her here.
Indeed! In her previous life, she was naturally a Dual Ability User.
Because of her strength, she was secretly taken by the country to undergo various trainings, eventually becoming a sharpest blade. To become this blade, she gave up everything an ordinary person would have. However, the ending was not perfect; she ultimately died in the trap she had set for herself.
"Cough, cough!"
Her weakened body unable to open a space, Mu Ge could only sense the existence of her own space.
But even this was a great joy.
At least, it slightly alleviated the initial sense of unfamiliarity of being in the Otherworld.
"What was with that red light emanating from those people?" Enduring the excruciating pain, Mu Ge flipped onto the horse, finally having time to recall the oddities during the battle.
With the help of the horse, Mu Ge reached the edge of the wasteland. Yet, the jolting on horseback almost cost her life several times.
Beyond the wasteland lay vibrant greenery, streams flowing gently and crystal clear.
If not seen with one's own eyes, it would be hard for anyone to imagine that the two places separated by a mere line had such drastically different scenery.
Chirp—!
The stolen horse took Mu Ge to a creek hidden by reeds.
At this moment, the cold moon had already climbed up the treetops, the surroundings silent. Occasionally, only a few chirps of insects could be heard.
Mu Ge gritted her teeth, enduring the pain as she leapt off the horse. The scenery before her, along with the fireflies flying low, their greenish glow softened her cold gaze a little.
Tossing away the reins carelessly, Mu Ge raised an eyebrow at the horse and remarked, "You sure know how to pick a spot."
With that said, she headed towards the creek. Having crawled out from a pile of corpses with an unbearable stench all over her, a little cleanup and some rest were what she wanted most at the moment.
The clear creek water reflected the cold moon in the night sky.
If not for an illusion, Mu Ge felt that the cold moon wavering in the ripples seemed larger and rounder than the one on Earth.
A full moon night, a time for family reunions?
Shaking her head, Mu Ge despised herself for her sudden sentimentality. Squatting by the creek, she dipped her hands into the water, feeling the coolness beneath the moonlight.
Crash!
The sound of flowing water echoed as Mu Ge cupped some water and lowered her head to wash the dirt off her face.
Suddenly, she froze.
Her eyes widened, staring straight at her reflection in the water. The water she had cupped slipped through her fingers, unnoticed.
Hey, can someone tell her who that shifting figure between male and female in the water is?!
The dirty little face made it hard to discern the features, let alone the gender. Yet, on the neck exposed outside the clothes, sometimes appearing, sometimes vanishing, the mischievous 'little guy' made Mu Ge, who had crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, feel panicked for the first time.
An Adam's apple, the most obvious visible sign distinguishing male from female.
She was shocked! Why the male feature appeared on her body?
Wasn't she a woman...
Sucking in a breath of cold air, the conversation from those people resurfaced in her mind.
Mu Ge, who was blown to pieces in the explosion, who climbed out from the pile of corpses, with her calm, unperturbed demeanor, found it shattered at this moment.
She sat up abruptly by the damp creek, ignoring the mud beneath her.
One hand propped against the ground, the other unconsciously went to her neck.
When the touch sensation came through her hand, her whole body froze, instinctively looking down between her parted legs, suspecting a possibility, her blood immediately dropped to freezing point.
Underneath the fabric, nothing unusual could be seen.
However, Mu Ge feared nothing in this world, yet at this moment, dared not reach out to confirm.
If... if there was really something extra there...
Mu Ge trembled all over, her blood surged to her head, coloring her cheeks and heating up her ears.
If her crossing over, her seizing rebirth, transformed her from woman to man, or into a bizarre, unisex being... such an outcome would shame her to death...
