"Achoo!"
On the other side of the dense forest, Wen Shu, completely unaware that she had made it onto the Blood Beasts' "wanted list," sneezed heavily. The force of it tugged her wound, and her face turned pale with pain. "Ugh—"
Hearing her stifled intake of breath, Mious slowed down his pace.
In fact, he was considerate of Wen Shu being a female. Fearing that the bumps might worsen her injuries, he had tried his best to avoid the uneven paths.
Compared to the speed of their arrival, the return journey could be considered slow.
Mious's beast form was very tall. Wen Shu was securely wrapped in the air by his snake tail and didn't notice the silent consideration of the male.
Wen Shu's vision whitened with pain, her face covered in cold sweat.
The cool wind blew past her cheeks, waking her up slightly. She rubbed her temples and looked up, her eyes meeting the leaves overhead.
Unlike the lush green of summer, the leaves before her were a very deep dark green.
