That Mortal Woman Is His

|•Chapter 3•|

Mo Yuan landed on his butt as he can't control his energy. Luckily, no one was around thus no one saw him it would be such an embarrassing scene seeing the God Of War landing on his butt.

Mo Yuan stood up and he was dead tired that he can't seem to walk properly. It must have been the poison he needed several hours yesterday but he was interrupted and he also forgot that there were still some residue of the poison as he battled just fine the whole day. It was his negligence that out him in his state now. The poison now spread on his body and he needed atleast days or a week to recuperate. He was in no danger at the moment but if the poison is not removed immediately or properly he might be in a critical condition.

He tried to call some cloud again but he had no powers left at the moment. That was the effect of the poison to him. He also can't call his disciples as they were already in the mountain and no one was already around as this place was only a battlefield.

He tried to walk and find a cave to meditate. He lifter his feet and slowly walked towards a certain direction. He was walking now for atleast five minutes and he knew he'd pass out soon if he can't find a place to stay the night. He was also tempted just to meditate outside but there were a lot of wild animals around and he will probably be too weak to handle them. His senses were just fine and headed to a direction that seemed safe.

He was getting slower and slower. He was barely walking when he sensed that someone was walking near him. He picked up his speed as he expected that someone must have followed or tracked him down.

Arl woke up and she was still on the same position when she fainted. However it was already morning when she woke up. She slept the whole night and never woke up. Good thing was there were no animals that time if not she would have been eaten alive.

She tried to think rationally and calmed herself down but to no avail. Who the heck can calm down when she wakes up in the middle of the forest with no security that she'll stay alive nor get out? She tried pinching her arms and she screamed as it was painful. Damn, 'I wasn't really dreaming ', she thought.

She was now walking left and right and trying to use her brain and to rack an answer. She was getting teary eyed thinking that it should have been a nice day and all but it turned creepy and weird all of a sudden.

She grabbed her suitcase and walked around the forest. She was walking for hours and it was already hot and the sun was so high above the clouds good thing was there were many big tress around that she can lean on.

She stopped and sat on of the tree roots and relaxed for a little. His feet was aching but she was determined to get out of here as she might be near a road or atleast to find some house nearby.

She pulled out a water bottle from the upper part of her suit case as their was a big black bag on top of it. It was a freebie when she bought her big suitcase. She now thought that at least she had some water and food with her but she just had a bunch of chocolates as it was supposed to be her gifts to her nephews. She also had some instant noddle from abroad as her sister liked it. She's had some biscuits , dried laver, to be microwaved popcorn , ramen and a bunch of international food that she bought for her family.

She thought that hopefully she'll get out of this damn forest before those food ran out . She was still positive as it was just her first day in the forest. She also ate some chocolate and fixed herself. Her long hair was now braided on one side as she didn't want it to stick on her back as it was really hot.

She pulled out her phone and dialed her sisters number again but as expected she doesn't have any signal. Arl has a nice mindset as she still tried to look positively at the bright side of her life though she was really confused on how she got there.

She decided to take it easy and just walked when she tested enough. She would occasionally stop walking and rest and do the same thing again. She also massaged her legs to prevent it from hurting too much.

She looked at herself and she wanted to take a bath as it's been a day since she had one but sadly, there was no lake visible and she doesn'tt want to find it either. She just wants to get the hell out of this weird place.

It was almost night time and Arl was panicking as there were not signs of roads not buildings ahead of her . All she see was trees, trees and trees. She was brave but she was getting scared at the moment as the sudden thought of sleeping outside with no shelter scared her.

Prior to the scene she saw yesterday which she wasn't sure if a dream or not. She must have slept outside yesterday but she was totally oblivious of it and now was a different case .

She picked up her speed and she walked faster praying that she'll atleast find an old abandoned house which she always saw on movies and prayed that she'll she someone that will help her.

She was walking very fast but not really as her luggage gets stuck on the big roots of the trees. She also stopped to remove some grass that was stucked on her luggage wheels. She was losing hope about finding a house as those movies were obviously scripted and who the hell should build a damn house in a middle of a forest?

She at least prayed to find a cave or whatever at the moment. She was walking and after a long walk she found a silhouette in front of her.
