Just as Ah Jiu rode swiftly towards the Shu region, Wufu, whom he constantly thought of, was jolted awake by a surge of pain.
"It hurts so much!"
Wufu felt as though she had been crushed by something, it was excruciating, her entire body hurt, she forced herself to sit up, hissing from the cold air.
She glanced around, it was dark all around, with only a hole above her head through which the moonlight shone coldly into the cave.
The wind swept in, August had come, and the mountain breeze felt somewhat cold.
Wufu hugged herself, glancing around once more, had she fallen into a cave?
"Ah." Another wave of throbbing pain forced Wufu to moan.
She looked down at herself under the faint moonlight, utterly miserable, torn and bloodstained, but these were not important.
What mattered was the intense pain she felt. No, it was her abdomen that was throbbing with pain.
This pain was different from being stabbed, it was intermittent, coming and going.
