My frail body was trembling and soaked with rain, wrapped in the blanket Ren had pulled over me.
“Wait, why is there blood… Are you hurt?!”
“……”
I could only sob and moan, hidden in the covers.
Ren couldn’t hear my cries clearly over the wind, but he could vaguely understand what had happened.
Someone attacked Sharti. Sharti had revealed her face to that someone, and after instilling fear in her, the attacker fled.
A cold fury surged within Ren, erasing all expression from his face.
Silently rising, Ren collected the broken blade Dodint had thrown.
“I’ll catch him, Shar.”
“……!”
His large hand further secured the blanket around me, then vanished without a trace.
I belatedly looked up, but Ren was already gone.
Whoosh. Ren disappeared into the storm, leaving no sound or trace behind.
Splash splash. In a frenzy, Dodint ran wildly through the woods, his mind in chaos.
As the rain lightened and the wind changed, Dodint’s face contorted in frustration.
“Damn it! Who was that man?”
His plans had gone awry, starting with the unexpected appearance of that man.
His scheme to exploit Sharti’s face as a weakness and coerce her cooperation had evaporated into thin air.
Moreover, in his hasty escape, he had ventured deep into the woods.
“Huff, huff, huff….”
Thinking he was far enough from the old log cabin, Dodint halted.
The rain had somewhat washed away the self-defense powder Sharti had thrown.
“I’ll hide for a while, no. I’ll escape the mountain and report that doctor woman. If I claim she’s the wanted criminal they’ve been searching for, they’ll surely conduct an identity check.”
Craftily, he planned to deceive his superiors by claiming he feigned betrayal to evade their vigilance.
“Or maybe, hehe, she looked quite decent and useful. I could sell her.”
Dodint’s delirious laughter was cut short.
Swoosh! A sharp blade whizzed past his cheek from behind.
“Who’s there?!”
“Defiled her ears with such filth, did you?”
A chilling, low voice accompanied the force that slammed Dodint’s face into the ground.
“….heh, heugh, huck….!”
As Dodint’s labored breathing grew louder, Ren’s sanity became thinner and sharper.
Sharti had been terrified, unable to breathe properly.
Her huddled, trembling form in the wrecked bedroom haunted him.
That’s why.
The unfamiliar murderous intent boiled within him.
“Plan to sell her? How dare you, who?”
Sharti was more than just Ren’s benefactor; she was a delicate woman.
The thought of such a creature making vile remarks about Sharti was unbearable.
Most importantly, Dodint had forced her to reveal the face she so desperately wanted to hide.
That’s why Ren couldn’t stay by Sharti’s terrified side.
He had to pursue Dodint immediately.
As Sharti had protected Ren’s secret, now it was his turn to protect hers.
“Aaah!! Stop, stop….!!”
Dodint’s pig-like squeals echoed through the forest, but Ren ignored them.
Thump. Thump thump. Thud! Thud!! Holding Dodint by the scruff, Ren continued to punch him into the ground.
Dodint’s face, already a mess from the poisonous mushroom side effects, swelled beyond recognition.
Yet Ren’s rage knew no end.
“You can talk. You shouldn’t be able to.”

Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
