VOLUME 10 CHAPTER 2: DON’T TELL ME THIS IS THE CALM AFTER THE BATTLE OF FAN CITY (2)

Liu Bei POV

“Well then, that’s it for now.” Chen Dao said as she put the protective chest piece back on and happily saluted me before leaving.

As I looked at her back, I felt that she really is energetic at all times. Or perhaps she is being affected by the atmosphere after the battle has ended and is more happy.

Well then… Next is… I turned to look at the rooms. It was now very quiet in the mansion and there should not be anyone who will be back anytime soon.

As I began to walk over, I realised that I should be wearing boots in winter. But the boots in this era are really stuffy and unless it is really cold, I would rather put up with the coldness.

I was now in front of the rooms where my 2 companions who had contributed greatly to the last battle. I have not been able to see them these few days but I think I should do so and take the chance while Hua Tuo is not around. Chen Dao had delayed this for a bit but it should be fine even now. I wonder if they are awake though.

Un… I stopped and thought for a while but could not figure out which room I ought to go in first. After a long while, I eventually decided on Yi De. She did not sustain any serious injuries but I am more concerned about her condition.

… *Dang* *Dang* *Dang*

I knocked on the door lightly and called out, “Yi De~”

But after a while, there was still no reply and I wondered if she might still be unconscious. Come on, Yi De, please wake up. I have a lot of questions to ask you.

“…” My pleas remained unanswered.

“Un…”

Looks like she really is not awake huh? I was a little disappointed as these questions have been swirling in my heart for a while now and I am getting really vexed. Even so, all I could do was wait further.

Despite this, I was still unwilling to give up just like this. Since I came all the way here anyway, I might as well go and see her face, I thought as I lightly pushed open her door.

Hua Tuo had given us strict instructions that no one was to enter so I merely squatted at the doorway and opened the door by a small sliver which I peered through. This act would probably not look good at all if someone else were to see me but there is no one else in the mansion and it’s not like I have any evil designs in mind so I went along with it anyway.

The first thing I saw was the medium sized bed.

… Eh? I stood up and peered inside further but all I saw was the empty bed with no one lying in it. Where is Yi De?!

I began to panic and get anxious when I saw this and decided to just step in.

“*Pa!* Yi De!” I yelled out as I slammed the door open.

“Eh?”

… Eh? When I opened the door, I finally got a good view of the interior of the room and saw a girl wearing thin clothing standing in front of a water basin.

She was currently looking at me with a wet face and fringe, probably because she was just was.h.i.+ng her face. All she wore was a set of thin clothes and some water had splashed on it so it stuck to her skin and her feminine form was clear to see.
