VOLUME 6 CHAPTER 30: DON’T TELL ME THIS IS A MEETING WITH SUN QUAN (1)

Liu Bei POV

After being stunned for a couple of seconds, I finally realised that a stranger had knocked into me.

This wasn’t the first time I was knocked to the ground so I’d craned my neck instinctively to prevent my head from hitting the ground. As I lay on the ground with my head bent upwards, I could feel a certain weight on me.

“Ah– It hurts–”

And it was this organism that lay on me which moaned in a graceful voice. As she slowly began to move after regaining her senses, she kept rubbing her face against my chest which made my thoughts run wild.

From where I was, her tiger skin hat completely covered her face and all I could see was some reddish hair. Looking further down, I saw that she was wearing a light red fur cape. From her garb, it was clear that she wasn’t an ordinary citizen.

“U, umm… Are you alright?” I asked politely as I gingerly peeled her off my body as I grabbed her slender arms.

“Ah ah ah, I’m fine, I’m fine.” When she realised that she had knocked into someone, she hurriedly withdrew her hands and tried to get up, “Eh? — Ah!”

“Ah ouch!”

Because of her frantic actions, she lost her balance as she stood up and fell back down onto my waist with enough momentum to make me cry out.

“Ah, umm, sorry.”

“You…” I opened my eyes as I endured the pain and was about to scold her but I forgot what I was about to say when I saw her

She had short, red hair and was currently looking at me with eyes that were out-of-focus and looked really pitiful. She wore a red plate skirt with a white center, and because of its short length and her sitting position with both legs spread open, her white and smooth legs were revealed up to her thighs. If I were to look even further, I would probably be able to catch a glimpse of the mysterious wonderland.

Speaking of which, do things like ‘panties’ exist in this era? I’m really curious…

No no no, how can I be thinking about this?!

“Umm, please get up first.” I concentrated and suppressed all my emotions and closed my eyes to give her time to get up.

“Ah, ah, sorry.” She was still rather anxious and I only opened my eyes after I no longer felt her weight on me. Seeing that she had stood up, I too got up.

As I got up, I didn’t forget to look about for those ‘devils’. It’s a good thing our commotion here wasn’t too loud and obvious and didn’t attract any attention so naturally Zi Long and the rest didn’t come.

“Un… Un…”

Just then, I realised that the red haired young girl in front of me was anxiously looking about as well with a worried expression while she clutched both hands in front of her chest.

Seeing that she was running pretty quickly earlier, could she be chased by some people?

“May I ask what happened? You seemed to be in a rush.”

“Ah, no, nothing, it’s nothing.” She hurriedly replied as she waved her hands.

This feels really suspicious, though it’s not too appropriate for me to say this.

Leaving her aside, it looks like I’m completely lost. If I remember correctly, we came in from the west gate, so it’s best that I head north for now.

Ah… Which way was north again? Not good, my sense of direction is gone. Did it go out of whack after that accident just now?

“Ah, they’ve caught up!” All of a sudden, the red haired young girl gave a surprised cry and paced about frantically before resting her her gaze on me, “Umm, sorry about this!”

“Oi, oi!”

She ran behind me and clung on tightly to my clothes before waiting for my reply and trembled as she hid behind me with her head lowered.

What was going on?

“Oi– Xiao Tai, have you seen her?”

“No, speaking of which, sister Jiang, are you seriously looking?”

“Of course I am– Ahen.”

“You’re clearly just eating meat skewers.”

Some distance away, 2 women who stood out very much with their surroundings were speaking to each other loudly. The one who walked in front was tall and had brownish skin that was slightly less dark than Ding Feng’s. She wore clothing that had armour inlays which revealed her shoulders and swaggered about. The shorter girl wore very striking clothing that didn’t match the era at all and was chasing the tall girl with a frown. It was obvious that this girl was more serious and careful than the tall one.

“Could these 2 be looking for you?” I felt a small head nodding profusely behind me as I said so.

Looks like she’s being pursued as expected huh. But looking at how serious those 2 are, she probably won’t be discovered even if she doesn’t hide.
