Krade helplessly twitched the corner of his mouth, but what caught his attention was that his left hand, which was steadying the girl's body to prevent her from falling off the horse, was touched by a warm current.
"Hm?" Krade raised his left hand and saw a transparent liquid flowing on it.
"What is this?" Krade asked, confused, and immediately became alert in his heart. Could it be tracking liquid?
Legend has it that the Ancient East's assassination tracking technique could attach solids, liquids, or even gases to others, allowing for a faint sensation even from a great distance.
This beautiful girl in front of him, with her unusual attire, likely came from a prominent background, so the possibility of her being assassinated was not out of the question.
Krade's expression was solemn, but he couldn't be sure if this transparent liquid was tracking liquid. Legend said tracking liquid tasted as bitter as tears. At this moment, only by tasting it could he confirm.
Krade's eyes narrowed slightly, and just as he was about to stick out his tongue to lick it, Lia, who saw this scene, suddenly noticed something. She then looked at the girl's pants, which were wet in one area, and immediately flushed crimson with urgency.
"Young Master Klad!!"
This exclamation startled Krade, who immediately sensed his surroundings, but found no sign of an ambush.
"What's wrong?"
Lia saw that he was still confused and blushed even more. She pulled the girl from Krade's horse onto her own mount, looking awkward. After holding it in for a long time, she said in a slightly angry whisper, "You… you big pervert, Young Master!"
Krade was even more confused. Lia was a proper and polite lady; how could she say such a thing, especially to him?
However, when he saw that the girl's pants were wet in one area, Krade froze in that instant.
He had, in fact, turned to stone.
"Hmph." Lia knew this was a very disrespectful act, but how could she watch Young Master Klad make such a rookie mistake? And there was another sentiment in her heart that caused her to feel a hint of dissatisfaction towards Krade.
"Young Master Klad, you big idiot!" After saying that, she took a trench coat from her backpack and covered the girl with it. Then, she turned her horse around and headed back, leaving only a bewildered Krade and a subtly meaningful Lao Jierui in the wind.
The knights behind them had never seen such a scene. They looked at each other, completely confused, as they had never seen Young Master Klad look so surprised. However, when they saw the girl Lia was carrying on her horse, everyone instantly froze, their postures no less stunned than Krade's petrified state.
"Oh, oh my god! Brother, did you, did you see that?"
"That, that must be an angel!"
"No, it must be a Reincarnation goddess!"
"I, I, Jack, to be able to see such a beautiful sight in this life, I can die without regrets!"
"Wuwu~ It's so good to be alive!"
"Thank the great Supreme God, thank the God of Beauty!"
Lia rode through the crowd, listening to the wailing of the men behind her, and couldn't help but pout in annoyance.
"What is it, men are all idiots!"
At this moment, Krade was still petrified, and the transparent liquid on his hand dripped onto the horse's back with a 'pat' sound.
The wise Lao Jierui, however, shook his head and, with the look of a seasoned man, patted the handsome young man's shoulder.
"Don't mind it."
――――――――――Man's dividing line――――――――――
"Ah." After Teal watched the blond armored knight leave, he immediately let out a groan.
Ignoring whether his wound would worsen, Teal lifted his legs and, like a mad dog, burrowed into the woods.
Although that Blond Bastard didn't seem to have any intention of killing him, he might change his mind, or perhaps he disdained to act himself and would send some subordinates to deal with him. That would truly be a desperate situation!
Teal, running for his Life Qi in the forest, was covered in wounds from countless thorns, vines, and branches, but he ignored them. As he kept running with his head down, he noticed that his vision from the girl's side was completely dark; it seemed she had fainted. If the girl had still been awake then, perhaps he wouldn't have been in such a sorry state.
"Ah~ it must have leaked out!"
Teal was so ashamed that he even ignored the pain. Although his female body had fainted, the urge to urinate would certainly not stop. In Teal's perception, wetting one's pants only happened to children and cowards!
"This is terrible. What exactly is that Blond Bastard? He just cut people down without a word and even took the other me away. Could, could he be a thief?!" Teal's heart tightened. If he really was a thief, anyone who saw such a beautiful girl would be greatly tempted and have a huge appetite. Thinking of this, Teal's small face turned pale, his butt involuntarily twitched, and he felt utterly unwell.
He wouldn't be subjected to such things, would he?
No no no no no!
"Judging from his attire, he should be from some regular army. Although that guy's eyes were scary, there wasn't that kind of repulsive feeling. This type of person should be called… called… what was it again?"
After thinking for a long time, Teal couldn't recall the word 'knight.' All he could do was hope that reality wouldn't deviate too much from his thoughts.
Once again feeling that no one was chasing him, Teal slowed his pace. Looking at his slightly swollen left arm, Teal quickly tore a strip of cloth from his clothes and tied it around.
"In any case, I need to stop the bleeding and prevent infection." He didn't know why he had this thought, but he always felt that if he didn't do this, something irreversible would happen. This might also be some common sense remaining in his memory, just like knowing a tree is a tree when you see it; some basic cognitions had not yet been lost.
While bandaging his arm, Teal started to worry again.
"In that case, wouldn't the distance between me and the other me grow further and further? I also don't know if a greater distance will affect future actions. The me over there is currently unconscious, so even if I wanted to follow, I wouldn't know how to start."
It was really bothersome. Although he felt that his female body was very inconvenient, he always had a feeling that if the other self died, he might not survive either. So he was still very worried, only hoping that the other self would be luckier, as if she had been saved by a handsome and upright guy with no human emotions whatsoever.
Although having no emotions was a bit much to ask for, it wasn't impossible, hahahaha.
