"Are you seeking death?" Bu's expression was cold, his arm holding the gun steady. With just a slight push, the beauty before him would perish.
Eve's delicate body trembled lightly, the white fabric at her chest gradually stained red with flowing blood. There was no trace of fear in her eyes; only her jade-like hand gripping the spear showed signs of strain as her knuckles turned pale from the effort.
"You are the one seeking death, your whole family is seeking death!" Her words, tinged with arrogance and a hint of defiance, came forth as Eve lifted her chin. The fair skin of her neck glimmered alluringly as she looked at Bu with eyes full of hostility, and within that hostility lay a well-concealed malice.
"Are you out of your mind? Or do you want to force yourself on me? First kill me, then proceed with your vile intentions."
Bu: "..."
"I know people like you all too well. If I hadn't sneaked out from my family and had no skilled companions by my side, with your abilities, you wouldn't even be able to touch a hair on my head. And those despicable Fellows who covet my beauty have been relentlessly pursuing me. If I hadn't escaped into this dense forest to shake them off, I would have long been..."
Eve's acting was superb; if she had crossed over to Bu's era, her beauty and talent would have made her a star in the entertainment industry. Her rosy lips curled slightly, and a mist began to form in her beautiful eyes as if she had suffered great grievances. As she spoke, her gaze towards Bu gradually shifted from resentment to disdain. "Hmph, if they had caught me, would it even be your turn? You and those Fellows are cut from the same cloth."
Bu's brows furrowed deeper. From the misty shadows behind him, Hong Lian approached slowly, an icy aura radiating around him, firmly locking onto Eve.
"It's him," Eve's heart raced as a buzzing filled her mind. Her gaze fluctuated violently, nearly betraying a hint of fear.
She had thought that the Red-Haired Man had perished in the Crimson Prairie, but unexpectedly not only had this winged youth escaped from the Crimson Prairie, but the Red-Haired Man was also unharmed. With the sudden arrival of the Red-Haired Man came an inexplicable pressure accompanied by a chilling aura that made Eve feel utterly powerless against him.
"Are you referring to Rondo?"
Gently withdrawing his spear, Bu casually inquired as he descended to the ground. The time limit for Bloodline Transformation had expired; his wings folded back into his body.
Eve let out a muffled groan, clutching her chest as she gasped for breath. Under the gazes of Bu and Hong Lian, she found no opportunity to escape; this act needed to continue.
"I don't know who Rondo is; I only remember their faces. I don't know their names, but you two... I remember you," Eve exclaimed in surprise as she glanced at Hong Lian and then back at Bu, ultimately astonished and unsure of what to say.
She realized that these two men before her looked exactly alike. When she had observed them earlier with the Long-Range Detector from a distance, she couldn't see clearly. After Hong Lian appeared and due to her momentary shock, she had been dazed until now when she finally saw Hong Lian's face clearly.
"Eve, Rondo saved me once; you caused his death and mine as well..."
"Hey, wait a minute! Are you really out of your mind? Who is Eve? Who harmed you? Are you talking about me?"
Bu's words were interrupted by Eve's fierce voice. Ignoring her chest wound entirely, she placed her hands on her hips and scolded him.
"Uh." Bu was taken aback, staring blankly at the woman in white before him, suddenly feeling an ominous sensation rise within him.
"Hmph, this kid is still too inexperienced." Seeing the situation, Eve knew things had taken a turn. While she coldly laughed inside, her feigned expression grew increasingly aggrieved, frustrated, and angry as she pointed at Bu with a barrage of accusations.
"How unlucky can I be? I just escaped a bunch of perverts and now I encounter a lunatic Fellow who wants to kill me without any reason."
"Look at my injuries! I've never been hurt this badly in my life. I've never felt so wronged before. And what about that Eve? Do I look like I resemble you two brothers? Am I supposed to look exactly like someone named Eve?"
"Hey, who told you that I'm that Eve?"
Eve became more and more furious, and without realizing it, she had immersed herself in the role, feeling deeply wronged and believing that Bu owed her an apology. She felt she was not Eve but rather an innocent victim.
Bu was somewhat confused. Under the forceful questioning and scolding from the other party, his first reaction was not to think that she was trying to deceive him but rather that he had indeed mistaken her for someone else.
"If you're not Eve, then how come..." Bu's voice weakened as he suddenly recalled that after he called out the name Eve, she had only asked him who he was before being struck by his bullet without even having time to dodge.
"Woo woo woo." Just as Bu felt a headache coming on, Eve suddenly began to sob. The wound on her chest was not large, but blood flowed continuously, staining half of her clothing red and spreading a bloody scent that invaded Bu's nose.
"Since you're not Eve, then forget it." Bu frowned. He couldn't stand seeing a woman crying in front of him because it always left him at a loss for what to do.
"This is Black Lotus Elixir; take it to treat your injuries." Bu pulled out a box of ointment from his Storage Bracelet and handed it over.
"Who wants your lousy ointment? Who knows what your intentions are?" Eve pushed Bu's hand away with a huff. Sniffling, she wiped away her tears and touched the silver bracelet on her wrist, muttering, "What Black Lotus Elixir? I've never even heard of it! How could it possibly heal me if it can't even remove scars?"
Eve's voice was soft, but whether intentional or not, it was just loud enough for Bu to hear. The content of her words caused Bu's expression to change awkwardly as he couldn't help but glance at the blood-stained area on Eve's chest through the torn fabric of her clothing, which somehow seemed oddly enticing.
"Don't look!" Before he could steal another glance, Eve's sharp reprimand interrupted Bu's thoughts.
"It's all your fault! If you have any conscience left, you must make amends. You need to stay here and guard me; no one is allowed to come near me, including him." Eve took out a set of clothes and a medicine box from her Storage Bracelet and commanded in an elder sister tone while casting a wary glance at Hong Lian due to his unchanging coldness and murderous aura.
"You want me to guard you?" Bu stared blankly at the woman in white before him. Especially after glancing at the clothes in her hands, he suddenly found her adorably foolish for inviting someone who had just injured her to guard her. Wasn't that inviting trouble?
"Of course! You hurt me; you must take responsibility. As long as you can safely escort me back home or eliminate those Fellows who have ill intentions towards me, I'll forgive you." Eve spoke earnestly while playing the role of a carefree girl as she walked behind a large tree with a pile of clothes.
"Don't peek!"
Bu felt like everyone in this world had gone mad or perhaps he himself had lost his mind. Just based on this foolishly arrogant girl’s words, he had every reason to believe that she definitely wasn't Eve.
The one who orchestrated the Flute Sound trap against Rondo couldn't possibly be like this adorable girl standing before him.
A faint scent of Medicine Fragrance wafted through the mist, causing Bu to sniff the air and unconsciously glance towards the large tree ahead. Coincidentally, a glimpse of a snow-white shoulder suddenly appeared from behind the tree. The creamy glow of her skin was subtly alluring, leaving Bu helplessly swallowing his saliva.
"Hey, do you need help?" Bu suddenly thought about playing the good Samaritan.
"Don't come over; I've already finished." A woman's delicate voice came from behind the tree. Amidst the rustling sounds of her getting dressed, that snow-white shoulder quickly vanished from Bu's sight, leaving him feeling a bit regretful.
Before long, a charming woman in a pale yellow palace dress stepped out from behind the tree. A faint trace of Medicine Fragrance lingered around her. Her dark purple hair was simply tied into two bunches cascading down her back. As she walked gracefully, her expression still held an air of arrogance, though her pale complexion betrayed her recent loss of blood.
"Let's go," Eve said as she glanced at Bu and Hong Lian, suddenly speaking up.
"We? Where to?" Bu was taken aback. He found it difficult to keep up with this woman's erratic train of thought or to grasp what she truly intended.
"What’s wrong?" Eve raised an eyebrow, her beautiful light purple eyes flashing with a hint of anger. "I thought you were a man with a conscience and responsibility. At least during my changing clothes while testing you, you didn’t peek. But if you don’t want to take responsibility for your actions, then I must have misjudged you. You can leave."
"How do you know I didn't peek? And what do you mean by taking responsibility for my actions? That sounds so awkward," Bu muttered inwardly. However, he couldn't deny that being valued by such a beauty was indeed a pleasant feeling.
"It seems I've reached a certain level of handsomeness; with the fate of a protagonist, even after causing harm, I can still be pursued by a beauty." Touching his nose, Bu indulged in extreme self-admiration, completely unaware that he had been led around in circles by someone else.
