Chapter 149: The Winged Woman's Plight
"What just happened?"
After being released from Li Qian's shoulder, the Winged woman stumbled and almost fell to the ground. It was evident that she had sustained significant injuries.
Once she regained her balance, she looked at Li Qian again and asked, "First of all, I have to thank you..."
"Although I'm not sure what exactly happened after we left, it seems like your backup plan came into play."
"In any case, we escaped... or rather, we managed to get away smoothly. But not long after, you fell from the sky and created a huge crater."
"I carried you out of that crater..."
Li Qian smiled and patiently explained the situation briefly.
"You saw me fall from the sky and create a huge crater, and then you carried me out of it..."
"Why didn't you catch me?"
"Even if you couldn't catch me, your Companion Beast could have easily done so, right?"
The Winged woman's voice carried a hint of anger.
She could imagine how she must have looked, falling from the sky like a rag doll and creating a crater upon impact, looking utterly embarrassed.
What infuriated her even more was that the annoying guy in front of her had witnessed the whole thing.
The crucial point was that if he had caught her, she wouldn't have sustained such severe injuries.
Her entire body felt like it was falling apart.
"I'm sorry, I admit I wasn't thinking clearly about this."
"But you should understand, a huge humanoid object falling from the sky—I didn't know what it was. Ah, no, I'm not saying it was something. I know it wasn't a thing... Well, what I mean is, you should understand. I didn't know if it was an enemy ambush, and in that situation, even you would have probably chosen to dodge for a moment, right?"
"Plus, you don't seem to be in any serious trouble..."
Li Qian weakly defended himself.
"I'm not in any serious trouble; I'm just not dead!"
The Winged woman huffed in annoyance.
"That's good!"
Li Qian patted his chest and exhaled a sigh of relief.
"Hmph!"
The Winged woman was so angry that she couldn't help but let out a cold huff.
"So, what should we do now?"
"Well, it's best if you don't remove the Reactive Metal Exoskeleton Armor for now. It has a tracking function, and the rescue team will be here soon."
"Speaking of which, the quality of this Reactive Metal Exoskeleton Armor is truly remarkable. Despite such a severe impact, there's no sign of damage..."
"That's not right; there's not even a trace left. It shouldn't be like this..."
The Reactive Metal Exoskeleton Armor on her body showed no signs of damage, appearing as good as new. This peculiar state caught the attention of the Winged woman.
"Did you give me your Reactive Metal Exoskeleton Armor?"
Suddenly realizing something, the Winged woman quickly scanned Li Qian and asked.
"Well, to save you and prevent further harm, I had to do it." Li Qian shrugged his shoulders, openly admitting his actions.
"Hmph!"
The Winged woman huffed again, not saying anything further.
However, Li Qian sensed a change in her tone, indicating a slight softening in her attitude.
attitude.
attitude.
"Anyway, it's best if you don't remove the armor for now."
"When I rescued you, I noticed that your legs were severely injured. Now, with the support of the metal exoskeleton armor, you can still manage, at least as a temporary splint. If you take it off, the injury might worsen."
As the Winged Clan woman showed signs of removing all her reactive metal exoskeleton armor, Li Qian quickly spoke up to stop her.
If she were to take off all her armor, her exposed rear would undoubtedly be discovered, and he feared he'd never live it down.
More importantly, he hadn't taken advantage of her in any way; at most, he'd feasted his eyes a little.
"By the way, what's your name?" Li Qian asked, hoping to divert the Winged Clan woman's attention.
"We've fought side by side, so it's only right that we address each other by name, instead of just calling each other 'hey' all the time," he added when she didn't seem inclined to speak.
"Wu You." The Winged Clan woman, Wu You, remained silent for a moment, but eventually, she coldly uttered two words.
"Hello, Wu You. I'm Li Qian, with a 'qian' that means 'modest,'" Li Qian introduced himself with a gentle smile.
"Don't go around claiming family ties. I'm not your sister, and I don't have a brother who would abandon his sister. Besides, I'm not interested in knowing your name," Wu You replied, her expression still cold.
It was clear that she was still upset about Li Qian's earlier actions, and he understood her feelings. However, he also felt a little wronged.
From start to finish, he didn't think his behavior was inappropriate.
It was the right decision; why waste time being sentimental about it?
If he were in her shoes, he'd want others to stop dilly-dallying and just leave.
"What about your wings? Do you want to take care of them? They don't look too good with all that bleeding," Li Qian said, not holding a grudge and turning his attention to her bleeding wings.
Hearing this, Wu You's anger rose, and her eyebrows furrowed, "What wings? These are my wings, my wings! Can't you see that?"
"If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all!" Wu You felt her anger rising, and her liver seemed to hurt even more.
In her eyes, this shameless little man was her nemesis. At that moment, if not for her severe injuries, she would have liked to jump over and kick Li Qian to vent her frustration.
After scolding Li Qian, she finally realized something and asked, "And don't you think there's something wrong here?" As she spoke, she pointed to her back.
"These wings of yours do seem a bit off. They're all limp, and from a professional perspective, they might be fractured," Li Qian said, examining her wings closely and speaking with a serious expression.
After saying this, he patted his head, feigning realization, "I suppose this must be your trump card!"
"I never expected you to be an Extraordinary Being. Are you a Companion Beast of the Wing Clan?"
"Which clan, which faculty, and do you mind if I use my True Sight Eye to check your information?"
Hearing this, Wu You's mouth twitched.
She couldn't help but roar in her heart.
I'm not from any clan or faculty, and I'm not a Companion Beast!
I'm from the Winged Clan!
Don't you know how precious and noble the Winged Clan is?!
You country bumpkin!
