Chapter 2150 - 1251: The Most Beautiful First Encounter 2

With a swift motion, she flung the person onto her back and started running forward.

Xia Weibao had been trained in martial arts since childhood; her Qinggong was excellent. But no matter how good her Qinggong was, running with a grown man on her back was definitely different from running alone.

So after covering just half the distance, they were drenched to the bone by the rain that arrived as expected.

She kicked the door open, glanced at their soaked bodies, rolled her eyes heavenward, and then tossed the man onto the ground.

Time to find some clothes.

She lived alone, and didn’t have any men’s clothing, so she ended up taking a set of women’s clothes to the man, intending to help him change.

But after comparing sizes for half a day, it seemed their body types were quite different...

They were simply not a fit.

With no other option, she had to strip him, put him on the bed to treat his wounds, and then cover him with a quilt.

After settling him in, Xia Weibao changed her clothes and cooked a pot of ginger soup.

Returning to the room, she pulled over a chair and sat by the bedside, resting her chin on her hands and watching the man on the bed.

His brows flew into his hairline, his lashes were long, casting shadows over his face as he slept.

A prominent nose gave him an innate nobility.

His lips were thin, and although pale due to heavy injuries, they couldn’t hide his attractiveness.

His facial contours were very distinct, and Xia Weibao was a bit dazed; in all her years traversing Jianghu, meeting countless people, she had never seen such a handsome man!

Outside, the rain was pattering down, and as Xia Weibao watched, she fell asleep.

The man’s alertness seemed to be exceptionally high, for despite his severe blood loss, he hadn’t been unconscious for long.

Not long after Xia Weibao fell asleep, he was already awake.

His eyes snapped open, carrying an intense and dangerous edge.

Like the gaze of a falcon, making his already sharp features appear even more acute.

Sensing a nearby presence with light breathing, the man quickly turned his head and saw a woman in white resting beside the bed.

The vigilance honed by years in power struggles made his eyes narrow slowly.

The moment before his unconsciousness had been an assassination attempt, and now awakening to someone beside him, his first reaction was to raise a hand.

Wandering Jianghu alone, Xia Weibao’s alertness was equally high.

At the man’s raised hand, she instantly opened her eyes from sleep, emitting a burst of killing intent!

Not good, there’s danger!

She suddenly lifted her head, sprang to her feet, and without thinking, kicked toward the source of danger.

With a thud, the man on the bed was kicked into the air, slammed against the wall, and then fell back onto the bed.

Xia Weibao, "..."

It seemed like...she kicked the wrong person.

The man, having never been kicked by anyone before, suddenly became furious.

He sat up abruptly, the motion pulling at his wounds, gasping through clenched teeth.

Only then did he realize he was wrapped merely in bandages...

Grasping the quilt, he flung it over himself, glaring angrily at the woman before him.

Upon clearly seeing her face, his pupils subtly constricted.

A hint of amazement flashed in his eyes.

Then his expression darkened, "Who are you."

With that tone, Miss Xia was not pleased, "I say, what’s your issue? It was me who saved you, what’s with the attitude."

"You saved me?"

"Obviously, if not for me, you’d have been struck dead by lightning outside, thank you very much. It’s one thing not to repay kindness, but trying to attack me? Tch, good intentions truly get punished."

Just as she finished speaking, there was a deafening roar outside as a bolt of lightning struck down into the nearby woods.

Xia Weibao, "..."

She was just speaking offhand, no need for the heavens to truly send a lightning bolt.

The man surveyed the surroundings with a deepened gaze, ensuring there was no danger, before lowering his brows, "Thank you."
