He didn't dare to let her take the risk. Seeing that she was safe and sound, the fear that he felt in his heart gradually disappeared. It was nothing more important than her safety. Perhaps, he thought, this was the truest thought in his heart. He raised his hand and touched his heart that was throbbing in pain. His heartbeat had returned to a steady state. Even his tense body felt better.
"Get ready!" With his shout, everyone snapped back to reality and the remaining target began to swing again.
When she thought about how scary it was just now, when her head was about to hit the wooden stake, she suddenly used all of her strength to straighten her body, barely avoiding the wooden stake with her head and the wooden stake, causing some of her hair to be torn off.
She shook her head, flinging her long hair to the back of her head. At that moment, she suddenly saw the right moment to launch her attack, so she quickly pulled out three arrows and shot them towards the three targets. With three bangs, the three targets' tails were still trembling, and the arrows hit dead center, without a single flaw.
There was no suspense for the remaining ones, and Ruo Ruo was still as beautiful as ever. She dismounted from her horse and gave a good demonstration.
"Alright, it's your turn next!" After getting off the horse, she pulled forward her already tight sleeves, intending to cover up the bloodstains.
"Long live Madam, Madam is mighty!" The crowd burst into applause. Without a doubt, Li Ruo had done very well in her demonstration. Not only had she hit the target, but she had also managed to maintain her calm in the event of an unexpected situation. Li Ruo smiled, but only she knew that when she dismounted, her legs were empty, and she didn't have any strength left in her hands.
Before she could collect her thoughts, she saw Xuanyuan Mo already walking towards her. He had even taken off the gray fur coat on his shoulder and considerately helped her put it on.
"Xuanyuan Mo, I'm not cold!" As the saying goes, one cannot accept a loss without doing something. Li Ruo retreated a step and hurriedly refused. The most important thing was that her head was now covered in sweat.
"Don't talk!" The two of them stood very close to each other, within the wide fur clothes. Xuanyuan Mo stretched out his hand and grabbed Li Ruo's wrist to examine her. Of course he knew that Li Ruo was definitely not cold, but he didn't feel at ease.
When he saw the shocking wound on Li Ruo's hand and the blood that was constantly flowing out, his eyes were filled with pain.
Just now, because he was far away, he couldn't see whether or not Li Ruo got hurt, he could only see that the power of the last few arrows she shot wasn't right, although they all hit, but they were obviously not as strong as the first three arrows. At that time, he felt that there shouldn't be a problem, but Li Ruo was a very stubborn person, so she definitely didn't want to be seen injured.
He placed his hand on Liruo's hand to feel her pulse. He did not know medicine, but most of the people in the military base knew some basic medicine. Fortunately, it had not injured her arteries.
He put on a stern face and didn't say anything. He carefully helped Liruo to tie up her fur coat properly, and helped her to straighten her messy hair. His face was as cold as ice.
Liru did not understand, but she did not dare to say anything. She truly did not understand why she was the one who was injured and Xuanyuan Mo was the one who was angry.
Their bodies were covered by the wide fur clothes, so no one could see them. Liruo's hands were still bleeding.
"General Li, the selection will continue. You will be personally supervising it, and no watering can be done. Let's go back first!"
"Sigh, no way. I have to watch it myself!" Before General Li could say anything, Liruo was the first to disagree. He hurriedly roared.
However, under Xuanyuan Mo's cold gaze, her voice gradually grew softer. She didn't know why, but she always felt somewhat cautious, as if what Xuanyuan Mo said was wrong.
"Go, go back!" She had seen his ruthlessness, seen his cuteness and awkwardness, had also seen him insistent on showing his face as well as his loathing of all sorts of things. Only now, his tone was very cold, but it revealed a hint of heartache, clearly angry, as if he was about to beat her up but had to forcibly endure the awkwardness of doing so was something she had never seen before.
What was going on with Xuanyuan Mo? Why did it seem like he had suddenly become a completely different person?
"But, I …" Lirael didn't have much energy left, as her body had used up all of her energy during the fight. It was difficult for her to even walk normally. The reason she didn't want to leave was because these people would belong to her from now on. She had to personally watch the selection before she could be at ease.
Because only she herself knew what kind of person she wanted …
"But what?" Li Ruo swore that this was the first time she had seen Xuanyuan Mo fly into a rage and it was completely different from the usual him. He pursed his lips and tightly held onto her hand, not allowing her to move. Her small hand, which was wrapped around his large palm, appeared even more petite. Her strength was nothing to Xuanyuan Mo as he could only scratch her. It would not cause any waves at all.
"Do you want to leave by yourself or do you want me to hug you?" Not wanting to wait for Li Ruo's next retort, Xuanyuan Mo had already bent down when he asked this question. He picked Li Ruo up and walked forward with big strides.
The rest of the group was dumbstruck. Didn't they say that the general was unapproachable to women? When they saw the general conniving at his mistress, they thought that he was at his limit, but it was obvious that the general's display of affection far surpassed their imaginations.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and continue. Be careful that once the sky is completely dark, you won't be able to see it anymore. When that happens, you'll be eliminated if you can't hit the target yourself. Don't blame this lieutenant for not showing mercy!" The whip in General Li's hand whipped fiercely, causing a circle of dust to fly up.
"Yes sir!" Everyone was enlightened. Only then did they realize where they were right now and what they were doing.
If it was said that she looked down on Liru before, then in this day's time, she had slowly turned into admiration. A girl, in order to accomplish these things, she must have gone through many unknown hardships.
Soldiers had always worshipped the strong. At this moment, everyone wanted to go to the small team that was said to be formed to train.
With this thought, everyone checked their props and began the match.
Perhaps the Missus really did have a power they didn't know, and anyway, it would be very nice to have a leader like her.
Liruo's small body looked even more frail under the wide bundle of fur clothing. Her tiny body was nestled in Xuanyuan Mo's arms like a docile kitten, but it was obvious. Liru didn't want to be a quiet cat.
"Xuanyuan Mo, what the hell is wrong with you? Let me down!" At this moment, Liruo's entire body was soft. Such a struggle wouldn't have any effect at all.
Xuanyuan Mo stopped in his tracks and glanced at her. He really wanted to beat her up, so he could do as she wished and just throw her here. But damn it, he couldn't do it. He didn't want to part with it at all.
He, Xuanyuan Mo, was so beautiful that he didn't even want a woman. Why did he have to endure this kind of anger? But what could he do, no matter how good the women of the world were, all these years he had only met Li Ruo who moved him and made him unable to extricate himself.
This meant that he, Xuanyuan Mo, was destined to be tormented by this.
"If you don't want me to directly pull out your tongue, then continue screaming!" He spoke coldly, then began to walk towards his residence once more.
If Li Jun had really shut her mouth, she would always know how to analyze the situation. Although she didn't know why Xuanyuan Mo was so angry, he was someone who would definitely do as he said. She had never doubted this before.
"Xuanyuan Mo, why are you angry at me?" After thinking for half a day, Ruo Ruo still could not understand. She pulled on Xuanyuan Mo's collar and spoke weakly.
"…" Xuanyuan Mo gave her a helpless glance and continued to walk forward, not wanting to answer her question at all.
"Don't look like that. It's so scary!" Her voice was very soft, perhaps because she was truly tired at the moment, or perhaps because she had a woman's side to her bones. In short, when she said those words, Xuanyuan Mo's entire heart was so soft that it was a mess.
"I'm not trying to rejuvenate you!" Xuanyuan Mo was helpless. This Li Ruo really did look like a little white rabbit without a sense of security, making him reluctant to refuse.
"But you were clearly angry just now!" Li Ruo's eyes drooped down, her voice still carrying a hint of weakness. Su Lin had said that sometimes, a woman's proper submission would have unexpected effects. So she tried it, but she didn't expect Xuanyuan Mo to actually open his mouth.
"I'm not angry with you, I'm just angry with myself!" Xuanyuan Mo sighed lightly. His eyes were fixated on the road ahead, so he did not realize that when he had spoken these words, Li Liru had been suppressing her smile and curiosity.
"I was just angry that I didn't save you earlier! I hurt you. " The answer was obviously not what Liru wanted, so when she heard those words, she was obviously stunned for a moment.
"I don't need you to save me. Besides, didn't we agree that this selection is my own affair? You can't interfere in it!" The smile faded from her face, leaving only doubt. Why didn't she feel happy after achieving her goal? Was it because Xuanyuan Mo's current emotions had affected her? But why should he be sad?
