Chapter 368: Nice Body

"You—" Lachlan's expression immediately turned wary when he noticed the darkness around the woman. He hastily got up. "Sorcerer!"

"Huh?" the woman blinked. "Oh, you Blessed One. Is that how you treat the one who saved you?"

Lachlan frowned. "I—" Just as he was about to get up, he fell on his knees, exhaustion apparent in his gaze. He had used too much of his Blessing. The woman who actually saved him was a sorceress!

"Are you going to give me an answer?"

Lachlan's gaze turned complicated. It seemed unlikely that someone who was raised with hatred towards them would know how to treat them appropriately. However, he was not an ungrateful person. This woman had saved his life.

"If you can't provide me with an answer, then it's probably for the best if I leave you here alone." The woman snorted arrogantly. She crossed her arms across her chest and glared at him. "You owe me your life. The least that you could do is tell me where Wugari is!"

The peculiar woman then turned around.

"Hypocrites," she murmured yet it was loud enough for him to hear. Then she started walking in the thick snow.

"Wait— wait—"

"What? Do you know where Wugari is?"

"Help me…"

"Didn't you just say I am a sorceress?"

"I—" The darkness around her surprised him. His instinct immediately told him to fight. "I ap— cough— cough—"

"Those people wanted to fight you here because you can use fire. Are you a fool? Why would you fight them in the middle of the snow? The best thing that you could have done was run!" Despite this, the woman approached him and touched his shoulder. He flinched.

"Do not move. I do not know how to heal internal injuries but I can at least numb your pain. Living or dying is up to you."

Almost immediately, he felt a cold sensation spreading from his arm to the rest of his body. Just as she said, she could numb the pain but could not really heal him.

"That— That is enough." His healing capabilities were not normal. He could heal his own body as long as he had enough strength to do so.

"Are Blessed People this dumb?" The woman mumbled before she sighed in annoyance. "I have been stuck here for days or weeks. I need someone to help me find where Wugari is."

"I— I have a map."

"A map?" the woman lifted an eyebrow. Before she took a map out of her spatial bag. "Like this one?"

"Ye— Yes—"

"I found it on some merchants. It's useless."

"Do you know how to read it?"

"Read it?" the woman asked as if she was offended. "This is a map. It's not a book, is it? Why would I read it?"

Lachlan blinked in confusion. He did not know what to say. Was the woman serious?

"I mean… look at it."

"I did look into it but… I don't even know where I am."

"The merchants… didn't you ask them?"

"Oh… they fainted."

"They what?"

"They fainted! Don't you understand what faint is?"

"I know what faint is!" He hissed in annoyance. He wondered if he was talking to a child!

Now that the woman was close, he observed her appearance and she actually looked mature. Perhaps in her thirties.

However, he could not understand why she talked like… a child.

"Why would they faint?" He asked before realization dawned on him.

"I made them faint so I could get the map. Isn't that obvious?"

This woman… was there something wrong in her head?

"So you stole the map."

"I borrowed it. I promised to return it when I saw them again," the woman said before she removed her hand from his arm. Then she took a step back. "Uhhh… I believe you should be good now. Take some time to rest so you can use your fire to help me out. It is getting cold here."

Lachlan did not know what to say.

Did she know who he was?

"What about the others?" He asked.

"They would not be able to track us. I put them to sleep too."

"You— You put them to sleep?"

"Yes."

"You put a Blessed Person to sleep?"

"Yes. I am good at that."

Lachlan could not seem to comprehend. "You are telling me that you are good at putting people to sleep?"

"Yes. Now stop talking and recuperate. I have been eating raw beasts for days. I need something hot and comforting."

So… she wanted him to cook for her?

Lachlan did not know what to say.

He was raised in the Korusta Empire where he had been treated like a prince since he was born. In that place, no one had dared talk to him like this!

Instead of focusing on the woman, he closed his eyes and started recuperating. He tried to relax his mind but for some reason, every time he would try to calm his nerves down, Brinley and Ena's face would appear in his head. josei

Fury reverberated inside him.

His eyes flew open in irritation. This time, however, the woman was no longer there.

He frowned and looked around.

He was not completely healed yet but he could no longer feel any pain thanks to the sorceress's help.

After seeing no sign of her, he tried to concentrate once again, hoping it would make the healing faster.

It was futile.

He could not help but feel so much hatred for the betrayal that he just suffered. He wanted to burn something!

"Ohhhh!"

Lachlan opened his eyes and turned around only to see the woman behind him, carrying firewood and a large demonic rabbit.

"It seems that you are already feeling better," the woman was staring at his… naked body. "Nice body."

"You— " Lachlan did not even realize that he had already burned his clothes! He was too angry and his eyes were closed, he did not know that he had accidentally set his clothes on fire.

Luckily, he brought some clothes to his spatial bag!

"You can change your clothes. I will prepare the firewood. I have been wanting to eat something delicious for days," the woman said after her initial reaction. Then she turned around and started arranging the firewood.

Lachlan had never experienced embarrassment like this before in his entire life.
