Chapter 423 You Mean Something
"Stupid man, can't believe he just abandoned me like that. Does he not know anything about being a gentleman?
I tell him to leave me, and he just ups and goes. What kind of man leaves a woman in such a dangerous place?"
Pitifully holed up in a rather small and shallow cave was Mira, and at the moment, she couldn't help but curse obscenities at Seth as she was hit by the hazards of her surroundings.
While the mosquitoes and little pests around couldn't do much damage to her, they were still an annoyance.
With the minor bruises and tears on her body, coupled with the fatigue she was currently feeling after Seth and his dreadful gang had left, Mira had dragged herself over to this little hole and was recuperating, and with the few resources she had, she took a couple of pills for her injuries.
Now, she could only sit cross-legged and slowly absorb qi from the surroundings and while doing so, she vented her frustration on a certain black-haired pervert.
"Damn, I really need to go much farther from this place. It's still too close to the battle site.
If only I still had a qi stone, I could speed this up.
Just a few more minutes, I'll cultivate a bit longer, and then I should be strong enough to get moving."
Having these thoughts, Mira went back to her cultivation, layering more curses on the pervert and lamenting her unfortunate situation.
As time went on, Mira's fear that she would be stumbled upon by some enemy scout gradually lessened, however, just as a few minutes were left for her recovery, her instincts kicked in, and she felt a presence before her.
In a bid to hide herself, Mira had covered the entrance of the little cave which she was in with a bunch of leaves and branches, sealing up the entrance and hiding the cave's presence.
Now, just a few steps away from her, behind the leaves, she could feel a presence.
"Is it that the bastard who came back?" Mira wondered, really preferring it to be him than some unknown personality.
"Ahh, just a few minutes, and I would have been out of here. I don't want to die in some tiny cave." Mira wept internally, her heartbeat already having sped up, and at this point, she could swear it was beating so loudly that the sound resounded around the cave.
"Mira, it's me. Come out."
"A storm of fears had been pouring over Mira when this voice reached her ear, and her eyes immediately narrowed in shock and disbelief, her mouth confused about whether to speak.
"It's Dorian, Mira. You can come out."
Hearing the voice once more, Mira's eyes gleamed, but she stayed unmoving.
"Why don't you come…" Mira said, unable to finish her words, as Dorian, perhaps tired of her hesitation, pushed aside the branches at the cave's entrance. and squatting down until she was almost on her knees, she gave Mira a blank look as she revealed her face to Mira.
"Your excellency," Mira said in disbelief, but then the realization of the position she had put Dorian in dawned on her. With a burst of strength, she got off her butt and went on all fours.
"Your Excellency, sorry, I'm coming."
Hearing Mira's words, Dorian nodded her head and moved back, giving the woman space to crawl out.
With a ton of relief flooding her heart and embarrassment at the position she had made Dorian take just to confirm her identity, Mira crawled out of the cave.
When she was finally standing up, she looked forward and enviously gazed at the sight of the beautiful woman gazing at the large clearing some distance away.
With lustrous hair comparable to that of a rose and fair skin decorated by sweet red lips, Dorian was a sight envied by all women and desired by all men.
Though Dorian had always been a well-known figure in the country due to her power, her appearance had never gathered much attention until a few months ago when she went against the government.
At the moment, there were many talks about her being the most beautiful woman in the world, so beautiful that rulers of other countries had proposed to her, promising to offer their full support, but in the end, she had rejected them, and well, none could blame her.
Given the immense strength she possessed and the person who stood behind her, in this world, there were very few who were worthy of courting this goddess.
"Mira, Mira."
It wasn't until a hand was being waved in front of her that Mira gathered her bearings and understood that she was being called.
"Ahh, ma'am, I'm sorry. I phased out there for a minute," Mira said, her face turning red in embarrassment.
"It's okay. Here, take this," Dorian said, sending a pill floating towards the woman's mouth.
Without hesitation, Mira opened her mouth and swallowed the pill, a smile coming to her face when a sense of relaxation filled her, and her body was supplied with far more qi.
"Thank you, ma'am, this is priceless," Mira answered, her face rosy and a smile on her face.
"No need to thank me," Dorian said and then looked back at the wide terrain around her.
"Who did this?" Dorian suddenly asked after a few seconds of silence.
"I'm sorry," Mira asked, a little confused.
"Someone rescued you, right? The person responsible for killing off the enemies that ambushed your flight?"
"Yes, ma'am, someone did save me."
"Well, who was it?"
"Ah, well, he was some troublesome pervert I met sometime back, Evary Seth. He isn't something much to worry about."
Answering Dorian's question, Mira had started energetically, but she noticed a change in Dorian's expression when she mentioned Seth and her tone tapered towards the ending.
"Where did he go?" Dorian asked.
"I don't know, but I spotted him with Jane, Alice's subordinates. They left after saving me, flying towards the capital."
Hearing Mira's words, Dorian's face went dark.
"What is your relationship with Seth? Why did he come to save you?"
"I'm not sure, but I think it might be related to his perhaps sick perversion towards me."
Dorian looked Mira up and down after her words and then spoke.
"If Seth wanted you, you would be with him right now. But the fact that he took the time to save you means you mean you mean something to him."
"You're coming with me," Mira suddenly heard Dorian say before the woman wrapped her hands around her. The next moment, they were shooting through the sky, flying in the exact direction Seth had departed."
