Fu Yuan watched Scáthach, who had her back to him and was deliberately ignoring him. He ran a hand through his hair in frustration before turning and heading back into the carriage.
Hearing the sound from behind, Scáthach plunged the burning log she held into the snow, as if thrusting a weapon into the body of some dull, stupid idiot!
Fu Yuan didn't know why Scáthach refused to help. Since she wouldn't, then he would have to do it himself.
However, there was a fortunate circumstance: while Fu Yuan was talking with Scáthach, Irisviel seemed to have fallen unconscious due to her severe injuries.
With Irisviel asleep, Fu Yuan's embarrassment wasn't as intense.
Afterward, Fu Yuan focused his gaze, lowered his head, and gently removed the cloak covering Irisviel before carefully taking off her tattered clothes.
Finally, Fu Yuan used a towel to gently wipe away the residual water and bloodstains from her fair, delicate body.
As he wiped Irisviel's entire body, Fu Yuan felt a ripple of emotion, but it was mostly a sense of shock and pity.
This was because Irisviel had many wounds on her body, all inflicted by the claws and teeth of a Snow Wolf.
Hoo~
Fu Yuan let out a soft breath. He set aside the towel, now damp with water and blood, and began to use his True Qi to heal Irisviel's injuries.
Do you know why the Valkyrie Swift Feather's techniques have healing properties? It's because True Qi promotes the recovery of injuries~
Under Fu Yuan's True Qi healing, the claw and tooth marks left on Irisviel's body recovered at a visible rate, returning her skin to its previously flawless, snow-white appearance.
"Mmm~"
The healing seemed to bring Irisviel an extremely comfortable sensation, and she let out a soft moan of pleasure that made Fu Yuan's face flush slightly.
Fu Yuan suppressed the ripples in his heart and focused on healing Irisviel. During the process, Irisviel, who had been asleep, opened her crimson eyes.
Upon opening her eyes, Irisviel saw Fu Yuan with his hands covering her body.
!?
Sweating, Fu Yuan prepared to explain his actions. He wasn't taking advantage of her; he was just healing her wounds!
However, Irisviel didn't need Fu Yuan to explain. As a child of only zero years old, she was completely ignorant of everything outside of Magic.
"What are you doing?"
Fu Yuan, focusing his gaze, quickly explained, "I'm healing you. All the wounds on your body have already been treated by me."
"Mmm, my body really doesn't hurt as much now. Thank you for the treatment..."
As she spoke, Irisviel fell into a deep sleep once more, her breathing gradually becoming steady.
Fu Yuan glanced at Irisviel. Seeing that she had fallen asleep again, the tension in his heart eased.
"I really don't know how she grew up. She's like an innocent little girl."
After all, Irisviel was only zero years old, and she had lived her entire life in the secluded Einzbern castle. What more could you expect from her~~~
The healing for Irisviel quickly concluded. Fu Yuan gently covered the sleeping girl with a blanket, concealing her fair, pale body.
Finally, Fu Yuan picked up the towel and cloak, still stained with water and blood, intending to dispose of them.
And then there were Irisviel's utterly ruined clothes. Her attire was so torn that it was completely unwearable.
Fu Yuan could only place his own clothes by Irisviel's pillow, so she could wear them when she woke up.
It wasn't that Fu Yuan didn't want to leave Scáthach's clothes for Irisviel, but rather because Scáthach... she didn't have any clothes.
The clothes Scáthach wore were all woven by herself using Magic, which was very convenient, so she didn't need any.
After properly taking care of Irisviel, Fu Yuan left the carriage.
As soon as he stepped out, Fu Yuan saw Scáthach looking at him with a half-smile.
"What are you looking at?" Fu Yuan asked, feigning calmness.
"Looking at you," Scáthach replied with a half-smile, watching the feigning-calm Fu Yuan. "Seeing if you did anything inappropriate to someone else."
"Of course, I didn't do anything inappropriate! And what are you talking about? It's your fault for not helping!" Fu Yuan shifted the blame to Scáthach.
Then, Fu Yuan changed the subject. "Scáthach, did you know that Irisviel is from the Einzbern family? She'll lead us into the Einzbern castle."
"Is that so? That's quite good."
"It is quite good... Hmm? What's that smell?" Fu Yuan suddenly sniffed the air, noticing something and looking towards the lunch being stewed.
"Scáthach! How were you watching the fire? The stew is almost boiled dry!"
"Huh? If it's dry, just add some water, right? Why are you making such a fuss?"
"What do you know? This isn't about adding water; it's about you not paying attention to the fire! What distracted you?"
Scáthach looked at Fu Yuan, who was busy by the lunch, and pursed her cherry lips.
Yes, what had distracted Scáthach just now...
After rescuing Irisviel, Fu Yuan and Scáthach could have peacefully enjoyed their lunch.
Now that they had the guide to Einzbern castle right beside them, Fu Yuan no longer needed to search for it aimlessly.
As long as Irisviel woke up, Fu Yuan could head directly towards Einzbern castle.
Time passed, and Irisviel slowly awoke from her slumber. With her delicate eyelashes trembling, she opened her slightly vacant crimson eyes.
Irisviel opened her eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling of the carriage. It seemed she had slept for quite a while, as she hadn't yet recalled why she was here.
Then, a gentle voice came from her side.
"Still time to start!"
This is the first update.
Chapter 52: Young Master's Pecs, Why So Flashy [2]
"Irisviel, you're awake, aren't you? Then pick out some clothes you like, and come out. I've prepared lunch for you."
Irisviel, who had just woken from her slumber, looked in the direction of the gentle voice. She saw the figure of a man with black hair and black eyes.
Looking at this man with his handsome face and gentle expression, Irisviel's memories, which had stopped due to her sleep, gradually returned.
