Mulan groggily opened her eyes, feeling her hand being held. She glanced at Mo Li, slightly startled, and immediately exclaimed, "Pervert—" Without hesitation, she raised her foot and kicked Mo Li away.
Mo Li was jolted awake from his sleep by the pain; the throbbing pain from his wound made him gasp for breath.
Mulan clutched her chest, her face turning pale with fright as she looked at Mo Li lying on the ground in excruciating pain. "What... what did you do to me last night?"
Mo Li was covered in sweat from the pain, gritted her teeth and said, "What do you think... I, what could I possibly do to you... waah..."
After saying that, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Mulan was startled and rushed to his side, helping him to the bed. "Are you alright? I'm so sorry, I, I..."
For a moment, Mulan didn't know how to explain. If she revealed that she was a woman, then a woman joining the army would be a crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of her family!
Mo Li clutched his abdomen, where the wound had reopened and was oozing blood. "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and heal me! Do you want to watch me die?"
"Wait a minute, I'll go get the doctor..."
Mo Li grabbed her, "By the time you called me, I had already lost too much blood. Quickly apply some medicine and bandage me up..."
As he spoke, Mo Li took off his shirt, and Hua Mulan couldn't help but turn her head away, "No, no, I, I'll still find you a doctor..."
Mo Li, panting heavily, looked at Hua Mulan's shy expression and couldn't help but smile wryly, "Then go ahead..."
Mulan ran away as if she were escaping.
Seeing this, Mo Li collapsed onto the bed in disappointment. "It seems it will take some time for you to accept me..."
A moment later, the doctor rushed in and, seeing that Mo Li was already asleep, wiped away a cold sweat. "I told you he's physically strong and will be fine. General Hua, you're just worried sick!"
Hua Mulan followed closely behind, glanced at the naked man on the bed with his back to Mo Li, and said with a shy expression, "Don't say so much, Old Li, hurry up and bandage him up! What kind of behavior is it to be naked all the time!"
"Haha, I know, I know!" Li Jing said with a smile.
Stealing a glance at the already sleeping Mo Li, and realizing that she had been caught off guard and had been held by Mo Li's hand all night, Hua Mulan's face turned completely red. She couldn't help but stomp her feet in anger and said, "This guy is really indecent!"
What if someone sees this? It would be so embarrassing!
Li Jing burst into laughter, "General Hua, could it be that you've fallen for this handsome man?"
"No, that's not it!" Mulan turned her head away shyly. "Old Li, please heal his wounds quickly! I'll go out now!"
With that, he turned and ran out.
As soon as Mulan stepped out of the camp, she bumped into Cheng Jin.
"Good morning, General."
Mulan frowned slightly as she looked at the rice porridge Cheng Jin was holding. "Is this for Mo Li?"
Cheng Jin paused for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, that's right. We don't have much food left, just this little bit of rice."
Thinking of Mo Li, who had just been kicked so hard she was vomiting blood, Hua Mulan couldn't help but say, "I remember there's still some game left, let's have it stewed."
"Ah? But General, that was reserved for you. Although he saved you, your health is the most important thing!" Cheng Jin said somewhat displeased.
Upon hearing this, Hua Mulan raised her hand and struck Cheng Jin on the head. "What do you mean by saying my body is the most important? In the army, everyone is equal. How can you say such a thing? Besides, if Mo Li hadn't defeated that Miyano Kawasawa, the consequences would have been unimaginable. He even took a knife for me afterward. He is our great benefactor. We can't treat him unfairly!"
"Yes, yes, I'll go right away." Cheng Jin left impatiently.
Watching Cheng Jin's departing figure, Hua Mulan sighed, "Am I... worrying too much about that rogue?"
Looking up at the gray sky, it seemed a downpour was imminent—
"Hey, wake up! How long are you going to sleep?"
Mo Li rubbed her eyes and looked at Cheng Jin with some dissatisfaction, "Why is it you?!"
"Huh? If it wasn't me, did you expect the general to personally take care of you?" Cheng Jin rolled his eyes and said irritably.
Mo Li chuckled. "Where is General Hua?"
"Naturally, it's for handling military affairs. This was prepared for you by General Hua's men. Eat it quickly." Cheng Jin handed over the game.
Mo Li glanced at it and was overjoyed: "Although he said he hates me, it seems he still cares about me!"
"I originally intended to use this to nourish the general's body, but you've gotten a real bargain!" Cheng Jin said somewhat displeased upon seeing Mo Li's excited expression.
Mo Li was taken aback, her chopsticks hovering in mid-air. "You mean to nourish her body?"
“Yes, General Hua is not feeling well for a period of time every month, so we use wild game to nourish him. Judging by the time, the time is almost here!” Cheng Jin nodded and said.
Looking at the small amount of wild game in the bowl, Mo Li couldn't help but feel a warmth in her heart. Women have their periods every month, which they may not know, but Mo Li, who has seen through everything, naturally understands.
Mo Li pursed her lips and ate the wild game in her bowl in large bites. The taste was a little bland and even a little fishy, but it contained endless energy and warmth.
Watching Mo Li eat so heartily, Cheng Jin couldn't bear it any longer. After turning and leaving the tent, he couldn't help but curse, "Ungrateful wretch!"
After finishing the food in his bowl, Mo Li felt a warm current flowing through his body. He then discovered that he had regained some of his affinity power. He immediately realized, "Could it be that because I shielded Xiao Bai from the attack, her unintentional concern for me restored my affinity power? That's great! It seems that I'll be able to recover some of my abilities soon!"
Seizing this opportunity, Mo Li sat cross-legged and began to prune the Nine Dust Technique.
Meanwhile, Mulan secretly ran away from the military camp alone, took her hunting bow and arrows, and entered the jungle.
"The time is almost here, and Mo Li's small body needs to be nourished, so it's better to give him more."
Having made up her mind, Mulan picked up her bow and aimed it at the hare in the jungle—
As night fell, Mo Li could no longer lie in bed. He stepped out of his tent and frowned slightly as he looked at the brightly lit military camp. Wouldn't such a brightly lit camp attract the enemy?
"Why are you out in the middle of the night again?" Cheng Jin looked at him with some displeasure.
"What's it to you? Mulan hasn't come back yet, where did she go?" Mo Li twitched her nose, but couldn't smell her scent.
"General Hua said he went to gather military intelligence. Judging by the time, he should be back soon, right?" Cheng Jin looked at the night sky and frowned with some worry.
"Idiots! Why didn't you follow the general when he went out? What if something happened? Are you just going to wait here like this?!" Mo Li said angrily.
Cheng Jin asked with a worried look, "Then, what should we do?"
"Hurry up and send someone to look for them!" Mo Li said and hurriedly ran out.
Cheng Jin looked at Mo Li, who was rushing out in a hurry, and scratched his head, somewhat puzzled. "Our general is brave and skilled in battle and often goes out alone. Why are you, an outsider, so worried? It's not like you're a virgin afraid of walking alone at night..."
If Mo Li heard this, she would want to hit this idiot with a hammer: "Your general is just a virgin!"
